  1. Hi Darryl it’s surf green. Sorry meant to post the specs.
  2. I bought this lovely MIM Tele Bass as my original ‘72 is very heavy. Unfortunately because of problems with my fretting hand I’ve gone back to playing short scale instruments. All my long scale basses are to be sold and only my oldest basses with sentimental value will stay. It took me a while to find one of these that was light enough to justify the purchase. They are certainly not as heavy as the originals but most of these are around the 4.4/5kgs. This one is 3.9kgs and is incredibly comfortable to play. The construction is superb - better than the originals I would say and the pickup is a little more controllable with more mids than the full fat 70’s version. That’s my opinion anyway. It does look and sound great, the colour is stunning and it’s near spotless (rehearsed a couple of times but not gigged), even the clear plastic is on the three bolt neck plate. Strings are Roto roundwounds and it comes with the Fender gig bag. The ‘tug bar’ has been removed but it is included. I don’t want any trades on this and it’s UK only. Pickup preferred but I have a decent box so I could post it if you are at the other end of the country. The cheapest I’ve seen these is just over the thousand mark and there was an ex demo one for just under that. You will be getting a near new (light weight😄) bass at a bargain price. Postage would be around £25.

  3. The intonation saddles are small cut down pieces of fret wire so you can make your own. I’ve done it for a few old Hofners.
  4. Really lovely I think it’s more likely a 64 as the neck has binding. I’m sure you’ll have visited the brilliant Steve Russell Hofner site and I’d recommend his book about the Hofner 500/1 Bass too. I’ve owned a few vintage, reissues and Contemporary models but I really love the ‘Artist’ 63 reissue I bought recently. It’s a German made instrument but has a more modern poly finish to keep costs down.
  5. I’ve got one of the original Marathon 6 Basses like Hooky’s in cherry red. I’ve owned many over the years including double necks and 8 strings I expect yours won’t have the lacquer cracking that most suffer from. Not tried one with the ‘laminate’ finish, it’s definitely a later model. Looks great!
  6. Bert bought my Mellotron Micro, very quick and easy deal. Thanks again!
  7. Selling my Novation Ultranova keyboard. It’s in excellent condition with original gig bag. It’s a great little synth with a lot of useful applications. The synth engine is very powerful and it can be used as a controller over midi and USB. The PSU is a replacement and the gooseneck microphone got lost years ago but you can use any mic with an XLR lead. The software and manual is available online I believe - to be honest I used it with the onboard controls as it is pretty intuitive. Lots of online reviews and videos of it in action. Some minor marks of wear and cosmetic scratches on the bottom. Everything works as it ought to. High quality Fatar keybed. A great little synth for not much money. UK only I can post at buyer’s cost. Would swap for a Squier Mustang bass perhaps. No other trades. Blurb below - This compact yet fully featured synth boasts an innovative, easy-to-use design and great sounds at an affordable price. Billed as the successor to Novation's famous "SuperNova" synth, this modern updated version has state of the art hardware and tactile control, with all the character of a vintage synth! The Ultranova's engine is based on the Supernova's original design with enhancements to the filters, and addition of wavetable synthesis, software control and a great "touch mode" feature where you can manipulate your core sounds with just a touch of the rotary encoders. Here's what Novation say about the UltraNova UltraNova is the new generation of Novation's iconic 'Nova' range of synthesizers. It packs the massive 'Nova' sound into a compact body with a built-in vocoder. A new 'Touch' performance system places deep control of the synth right at your fingertips - so incredible new ways to play, create and perform are just a touch away. UltraNova has 300 onboard sounds that you can browse by type and musical genre, so gigging musicians can get started straight away. You can quickly change the character of the sound with 8 encoders and a large, smooth encoder for detailed control. It also comes with software plug-in editor which gives you in-depth visual editing, and can be opened and controlled in your DAW. There is also a software patch librarian that allows you to store, organize and search for an unlimited number of patches by type and genre. UltraNova has wavetable synthesis, 14 filter types, 6 envelopes, 3 LFOs, 5 effects slots, density/detune and much more. This level of power needs clear control, so each part of the synth has a dedicated button that assigns parameters to the 8 encoders above the LCD screen. This makes UltraNova fast and easy to program, like an analogue synth. UltraNova has an onboard 2 in 4 out USB Audio Interface that can transfer audio directly to and from your computer. It also has a SPDIF output, MIDI in/out/thru ports (for hardware-to-hardware connectivity). Finally, UltraNova can work in 'Automap mode', transforming its eight encoders into a powerful controller for plug-ins and DAWs. Brand new Nova-series synth engine based on Supernova II Single part with up to 18 voices, 14 filter types, 36 wavetables, 5 effect slots Patch Browse enables you to browse 300 sounds by type & genre Touch-sense controls enable totally new sound-shaping & performance Trigger envelopes/LFOs/filters/FX by just touching the encoders Large rotary control allows you fine control of any parameter Totally gig-able with 37 full sized keys, a vocoder, and loads of controls Voice optimized 12 band vocoder with gooseneck mic High quality key bed with aftertouch for expressive playing styles Software plug-in editor and Patch Librarian for full visual editing Plug-in editor allows you to view and edit in with software Software Patch Librarian a organize, store and share unlimited patches Built-in 2 in 4 out USB audio interface and it can be bus powered UltraNova can be used to stream audio to and from a host computer Stereo main (analogue & SPDIF) and aux outputs, and MIDI in/out/thru ports Additional features Arpeggiator Chord function Filter distortion Density & Detune functions Automap controller Powered by USB or the included power supply Specifications Number of Keys 37 Brand Novation Key Action Semi Weighted Digital/Analogue Analogue Key Size Full Size
  8. I’m selling my Mellotron Micro keyboard. It is the smallest modern version of the Mellotron with a two octave keyboard. It has 100 classic Mellotron sounds which are mixable so you can have two sounds playing at once. The build quality of these units is amazing - they are constructed from steel and have a very easy to use interface with the classic Mellotron and Chamberlain sounds and pitch variation. It’s a small unit so very portable and comes with original packaging and PSU. There are some great demos and reviews on YouTube if you want to listen. These don’t come up for sale very often. Condition is like new. UK only I can post at buyer’s cost if necessary.
