Bump for a great all-in-one solution. Great for both electric and upright basses. I’d happily buy this if I didn’t already have one.

Stop it guys - you’re making me have second thoughts!!!!!!

Hi all - selling an Acoustic Image DoubleShot cab. Truly excellent, portable and loud cab. Cab is in excellent condition - about a year old and seen all of 10 gigs. 600watts and has little bumpers to help keep your amp head on top. New these are £720-ish. Selling for £630- NOW £550 plus postage NOW £525 plus postage

Hi all - selling an Ashdown ANT - the pedal board friendly amp. Fits onto a Pedaltrain Nano with ease. Really punches well above its weight. With two 1x12 cabs it effortlessly carried a wedding band gig. Would happily keep, but five amps is too many. (repeat after me - five amps is too many Gareth, five amps is too many Gareth). One issue is the mute button - it works 100%, mutes the DI and amp signal, but the red LED doesn't come on. Selling for £160 posted. NOW £150.

Hi all - selling a Tech21 VTBassDI. Excellent kit - you know what it does. I'm just not an Ampeg-y kinda guy alas. Only bought a few weeks ago from Jonse of this parish. Doesn't have original box/tin. Selling for £150 posted.

Hi all - selling an Ampeg SCR-DI. In good condition and working perfectly. Great preamp/DI/headphone - this is my second time buying one. Happily keep but prefer a less-Ampeg-y sound. Should have seen that one coming. Selling for £115 posted. Now £105

NOW £400 £380 £360 plus postage. Up for sale is a Trickfish Trilobite preamp - truly the bells and whistles of preamps. Only about a year old, with maybe 10 gigs under its belt. This is the newer, smaller enclosure. Incredibly versatile: dual DI outputs - one pre or post, the other dedicated post. Awesome built in headphone amp. Two effects loops - one series, the other parallel with clean volume control. Then there's the two independent channels - one with selectable hi and lo mids, the other fixed. Plus a mute with tuner output. Comes with supplied 12V power supply. Only selling as I have a 2 channel head that takes care of that function. New these are £580-ish and very out of stock. Selling this for £480. NOW £400 plus postage. Here's the official Trickfish blurb: The Trilobite is an extremely flexible, high quality dual channel preamplifier paired with routing options required for modern gig setups. The Bullhead EQ section allows for a broad range of tone control including shelving EQ’s for the Bass and Treble controls and variable band pass EQ’s for the Lo Mid and Hi Mid. A parallel and series effect loop, along with two direct outputs, make the Trilobite ideal for the stage or studio. Whether it’s in a pedalboard setup or standalone, you’ll have the most versatile setup possible no matter where you are. And a Premier Guitar review (with the older enclosure):

Does this have an angled headstock?

Hey Tim - have you a weight for this fine beastie?

Hey all - back up for sale is my Maruzsczyk Elwood Lp fretless 5 in Olympic White. Bass is new in June 2020 and (sadly) never played live, and is in brand new condition. It's 34" scale and has an unlined, 24 position ebony fingerboard. The body is light weight chambered alder, weight is 4.05kg. Pickups are Delano SBC with coil taps and passive v/b/t wiring. Hardware is Maruszczyk's own. Comes with a Maruszczyk gig bag. The sofa shot was before Adrian added the string retainer. To order today is €1620, about £1375 - would sell for £1050 - dropped to £850. Thanks, Gareth

More info - at the 12 minute mark in this review of a WL433 model, Danny talks about the woods being Philippine alder for the body and Philippine rosewood for the neck. And here's some more info on the WL Global range, again using the WL433 for details: Part of the new Global Series multi-scale length basses. WL Global Series is a more affordable version of Woodline, which has been the leading model of the Bacchus Handmade series. It is based on traditional electric bass guitars, but has a modern feel and improved features over the vintage design. The slightly down-sized body offers a comfortable neck and smooth playability, and the truss rod adjuster set at the body-end of the neck makes for easy adjustment of neck relief. The push-pull tone pot works as a 'Turbo Switch' function. When pulled up, the 2 pickups are then connected in series and will produce a more powerful sound. WL-433 inherits the craftsmanship philosophy and high quality standards of the original Woodline, as well as its appearance. Nothing is more important than precise handcrafting and great attention to detail when making an instrument with ideal tone.
