  1. Slightly unusual 80s Ibanez Blazer,

     

    Jazz pickup, battery cavity (empty) and metal scratch plate added before it got to me. 

     

    I bought this bass because I wanted a fretted neck for my other (fretless) Blazer. I switched them and the neck that is now on this bass was professionally defretted by The Bass Gallery, Camden.

     

    I’ve wired it up so that one pot controls the volume of each pickup, lots of scope for adding more knobs, active electronics etc, I just don’t have the time. Sounds great as it is, especially the Precision pickup - my other Blazer is my main bass.

     

    Currently strung with flats (I think Pyramid Golds)

     

    Cash on Collection from East London

    When you say noisey when cranked how'd you mean, when turning knobs?  Looks quite a interesting head 🙂

    With the treble shift on there is a really sparkly top end (bit much for me, more of a flatwound thudder) which also let’s through a bit of hiss when you really crank it. Knobs could probably do with a dust.

    Also when you really max it the valve clipping is quite harsh, but at sensible volumes you can dial in a nice bit of saturation

  3. PRICE DROP - £400

    Purple Chili Phatt Bass 750w

    One of a short run of bass heads from Mike Walsh who makes the Purple Chili bass cabs and Zoot basses.

    I bought this years ago along with a 4x12 cab. The cab gets lots of use with an old Fender PA head, the Phatt Bass has been mostly sat in a cupboard, occasionally used for rehearsals a few years ago.

    Condition is pretty good apart from the bottom of the ‘P’ in the logo having snapped off and a bit of very light scuffing.

    Plugged it in to test it and it sounds huge. Rich and valvey, although a little noisy when cranked, would probably benefit from the pots being cleaned. Appears to all work great, but I should say that it hasn’t been gigged or played through for long in a couple of years.

    I have a couple of other heads and whilst this is pretty light and portable, I usually default to my Markbass for convenience and this doesn’t get the use it deserves.

    Some info taken from another sale a few years ago:

    ‘It's a hybrid amp of the valve pre-amp and class D power amp variety.
    The pre-amp is (as supplied) a Denis Cornell hand wired creation that utilises 3 x 12AX7 valves.

    It has Active and Passive inputs, Gain (which starts to colour and distort the more you crank it up), Bass, Middle, Treble and Volume controls.

    It does 560W @8 ohms, 750W @4 ohms’


    Would normally ask for cash on collection, but given the circumstances could post at buyer’s expense.

  4. 1 hour ago, Salt on your Bass? said:

    Top gear dickinson in my experience with them on their guitar amps. 

    Does this come with a psu, and do you know what valves it's loaded with? Don't need this at the moment.... But I'm still tempted. Any demos lying around anywhere? 

    Thanks 

    Power supply included

    Will check valves, but as far as I know it’s the ECC83s that come as standard

    Don’t have any demos as it is but can record some over the next few days 👍🏻

  5. Handmade valve preamp 

    Gain, Bass, Treble, Output controls

    Switchable line in/out instrument in/out 

    Great for live use and recording.

    I’ve been using it to warm up the sound of my solid state amp and for bits of recording.

    Have just bought an amp with a valve preamp and don’t use it enough to justify keeping.

    Comes with Dickinson canvas carry case

  6. FOR SALE: Dickinson P1 Valve Preamp - £300

    This is a boutique, all valve preamp made in London by Dickinson. Designed for bass but also suitable for guitar/anything else really.
    Controls are Gain, Bass, Treble and Output. Comes with padded bag and power supply.

    Condition is good, very light scratching as visible in the pictures but all in working order.

    I've been using it live to warm up the sound of my Little Mark Head and for the occasional bit of recording. I'm just not really using it enough to merit keeping it as i tend to default to my MXR bass preamp. Nowhere near as cool but small enough to fit on my Pedaltrain Nano, which this sadly isn't.

    As seen demonstrated by Chris Hill in this video:

  7. Selling my 1997 Musicman Stingray 3EQ, lovely bass but funding the purchase of a 5 string.

    Good condition other than the odd tiny blemish (e.g. slight buckle rash on the back) and one small ding on the bottom - can send to more/better pictures to anyone interested.

    Particularly nice birdseye maple neck!

    Looking for £750 with hard case

    Can post at buyers expense or can be tried/picked up in Bedford (I'm also down in London fairly frequently so could meet up there if easier)
