OK its not ultra powerful with zillions of features but it makes a fairly decent noise and is well made, I don't need this anymore and am moving house so its really got to go. Its around 10 watts with a 10" speaker and is pretty heavy. £5 takeaway. No postage or couriers so please don't ask! I need it carting off asap as I'm moving house in a week - aaagh!!! Its in good condition functionally and cosmetically although the pots are a bit mucky. As ever the uploader failed but I'm sure you know what these look like.

I had a Musicmaster my first bass when I was at school, my Mum & Dad got it for me mail order from Kingfisher Music, secondhand and shop soiled for the princely sum of £85 - I sold the bass on of course ([i]if anyone out there has a cream one with a large darker oblong patch on the upper front of the body that may be my old Musicmaster [/i]) but I still have the original price ticket and the owners manual! Great little basses - have a nostalgic bump on me.

Yes the neck dive[i] is [/i]there but not too bad with the right strap, the body of the bass is wide but very thin and light so not an uncomfortable weight on the shoulder.

Bump for a great synth

[size=5][sup]Thanks its a great bass offers considered.[/sup][/size]

Bump for added pics!

Will do later tonight cheers

I'm selling my Novation K station as I recently bought a Moog. The synth is in good condition with a few minor scuffs but plays as it should and functions well. The 'program' knob is quite sensitive and will sometimes skip the next patch number if turned too quickly but this function can be accessed using the programme buttons. It comes with a replacement PSU and the manual is available online. A really powerful synth for not so much money. Review here - [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr02/articles/novationkstation.asp"]http://www.soundonso...ionkstation.asp[/url] I've added a couple of pics of the synth to show the condition. You can get some great fat bass sounds, it is also polyphonic and has a built in vocoder!

I don't know if it does sorry it also has an extra hole for another pot. Postage would be £3

This is a reluctant sale and I am putting out a feeler to gauge interest, this has been my main gigging bass for the past 5 years but recently I have been using my P bass and this has been sitting in it's case for 6 months. It's a Gibson Grabber made in the US in the 70s, its an early version as the machineheads are unbranded and the through body strings are anchored by individual ferrules rather than a single plate of metal. The body and neck have plenty of play wear and buckle rash but there are no cracks or breaks. The neck has chunky frets and it has probably had a refret at some stage. All hardware is original including the generally lost or discarded bridge cover. The original owner told me that the logo decal had worn off so he had added a period correct replacement. The serial number is stamped on the back of the headstock. The pickp and slider function perfectly and the wiring and pots appear original. The scratchplate isn't warped like many Grabbers and has no cracks. The truss rod functions properly and the neck is straight and true a fantastic bass to play. The sound is super growly, great for rock music. I have played hundreds of gigs with this beast and it has never let me down. I'm not sure what these go for but I'm looking for around £795. I am not interested in trades at the moment I need to free up some cash. As you can see it is strung with Rotosound Black Nylons but I will include some used black steel roundwounds if required. I've had enquiries about shipping abroad that's OK within EU etc. but I would prefer the sender to arrange their own courier and insurance if that's the case. Cheers!

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1322408600' post='1450456'] How does it compare to your grabber? Mine is my weapon of choice, but this is rather lovely! [/quote] Well its not as physically unwieldy as the Grabber and has no neck dive,balance is perfect. I think the Grabber has probably nailed the Rock and Roll sound for me but obviously this has a lot more flexibility. Playability wise it is a very easy bass to get along with as the neck is so slim and shallow compared to the Gibson. If you want a unique take on a Rick this is the best out there with great lineage.

[sup]It's actually fairly light - around the same as my 4001 bass at 9lbs. Soundwise you can get a lot of variation thanks to the Birch pickups and multiple controls, you can get the Ricky clank and also a great Thunderbird type tone so its great for rock, the surprise is that this can produce a mid range jazz type sound too, yep it can sound funky! Cheers for the comments it [i]really[/i] is a bargain at this price.[/sup]

If a courier could be sorted out I would be happy to take this off your hands.
