Hi Darryl it’s surf green. Sorry meant to post the specs.

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.

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

I’ve lowered the price

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.

Here is my 2018 Ric 4003s in near mint condition. It plays really well with no neck or fret flaws, truss rods work as they ought to and frets have no discernible wear - it looks like new. Bought early this year as a back up but as I’m playing my EBMM Sterling US almost exclusively this is not being touched. It has a custom treble pickup bezel fitted but the original and cover are included. It weighs under 3.9kgs and balances well. The maple board has a nice stripe/flame to the wood. It’s a UK sale/trade only sorry and I’d prefer to deal face to face if possible. Similar to my P Bass Special I’d prefer a trade or part trade - cash either way depending on value. Please don’t contact me if what you want to trade isn’t on this list : EBMM US Sterling or Stingray Shortscale, 70’s Fender Precision with a maple board, Fender US Musicmaster or 70’s Fender Mustang with maple neck. I’d prefer a trade to a sale to be honest - the price is much less than I paid and a big saving on new if you can find one in this finish. Now £1625 cash on pickup or £1650 posted in the UK via PayPal friends and family. That’s a good price for a Ric in this condition. Thanks. Note I’ve added pics with the new chrome finished bezel fitted - this prevents you catching your thumb on the treble surround and is a better fit. The one in the first pictures is perspex on a chrome plate (Retrovibe parts I believe) whereas the one now fitted uses the original Ric treble surround and fits more snuggly.

Sale only and a very reduced price for a nice old Fender. The bass is a 1980/81 Fender Precision Special. They weren’t made for long and are quite rare. This one is in Lake Placid Blue and has all the original brass and gold plated hardware. I even found the thumb rest that is made from solid brass hiding in a box when I moved house recently. Pickup is the original Fender and I had one side recently repaired by Aaron Armstrong. You will notice that the bass is wired passively. I still have the active circuit and extra brass knob but the circuit will need attention as it wasn’t working at all when I bought this back (I’ve owned this bass twice). It still sounds great as a passive bass however. The scratchplate is original and the extra holes have been plugged with removable plastic caps. I believe a non-original LED may have been fitted at some point as there is an extra plugged hole. It has dings aplenty as it has been gigged a lot over its 40+ years. Frets are in good order as is the trussrod. Action is nice and low and it is currently wearing Dean Markley Blue Steel heavy gauge strings. It’s got some tone to it and it’s a heavy bass at around 4.8kgs. The brass parts are heavy and when I was gigging it I had it fitted with lightweight tuners and a spiral bridge to cut down the weight. That said it’s a lot less than some 70’s Precisions I’ve played. The original Fender case is included. I’m afraid I won’t ship outside the UK. Any questions please ask.

I’m selling my old Fender Precision Special made in the US in 1980. It comes with original case. I’ve modded it as it was far too heavy with the original all brass hardware, however I still have the parts and it’s easily converted back. The only extra holes drilled are for the Hipshot tuners and these would be covered by the original machineheads if returned to stock. The original preamp will need looking at however as it has stopped working in active mode. I thought it was a dodgy battery clip and had that replaced but it’s still not working. It is now wired passively. CTS pots, Switchcraft output jack. The pickup is original and so are the white covers. One half of the pickup has been rewound by Aaron Armstrong at Armstrong pickups and the output matches perfectly. Scratchplate is original with small plastic caps covering the holes from the old controls - again easily removed should you wish. Current weight is a very comfortable 4.3kgs. The replacement hardware is a combination of Hipshot and Fender. The original hardware includes the dodgy preamp, incredibly heavy brass bridge, neck plate and knobs plus gold plated tuners. The original heavy brass thumbrest went years ago. The weight of the brass parts alone is 1kg! The bass has been gigged and toured a lot over the years. The lake placid blue finish is original but there are plenty of dings and touched up areas. It’s real road wear! The neck pocket has the matching serial number sticker, there is no extra routing to the body. It plays really well and the neck is great. The frets are fine and the trussrod turns as it ought to. No structural issues or neck repairs. There is a small shim in the neck pocket. It’s a good honest vintage Precision with a few stories to tell. The case was originally smoky smelling so I have cleaned it and aired it. It may benefit from further treatment - wood shavings left in over night, air freshener, that sort of thing. Long before I got the bass it was owned by a smoker. It has been cleaned and gigged and has lived in a smoke free environment for some time. The only trades I’d consider are for a Fender black and maple US P bass of a similar era or a US Musicman Sterling with a maple board. I’d prefer personal pickup so you can check it out, however if that’s impossible I can send it in the UK only at buyer’s expense as it’s cased and I have a decent box.

BT3 Bass Extender I had fitted to one of my vintage 60’s reissue Fenders. Excellent condition with original packaging and mounting hardware. Instructions are in the box too. Price includes UK postage. Sorry I don’t post outside the UK. No trades.

Fantastic value alnico Precision pickup from Tonerider. These have great reviews online. I bought this to replace a P bass pickup I thought was defunct however it just required a simple rewire so this was only mounted briefly. The quality of these pickups is astonishing for the price. They sound as good as pickups three times their price and certainly a step up from Squier and standard MIM pickups. It comes with unused screws, original packaging and wiring diagram. Price includes UK postage.

It’s red - reminds me of the classic Shadows red with a pinkish hue to it. Hard to capture with my phone’s camera but definitely red.
