Studio Electronics Boomstar 5089 with Moog Model D Mini Filter Type. Fantastic big Moog bass sounds from this module. Superbly made and sounding analogue synthesiser in excellent condition. It comes with original power supply. Made in the USA from high quality materials. This is the latest model with beautiful wooden end cheeks and a more intuitive front panel. This is great for synth enthusiasts who want one switch or knob per function. This has a very convincing Moog sound - Studio Electronics were one of the first manufacturers to create a successful clone of the Minimoog. Used to complete some recordings now for sale to release some funds. Manual available online from Studio Electronics. There are reviews and sound examples online, the blurb from the manufacturer is below. Boomstar is a return to the raw power and purity of non-programmable discrete analog, where STUDIO ELECTRONICS started in 1985. The snap and punch of hardware envelopes drive the Boomstar's brilliant discrete voltage controlled circuits with unparalleled sonic clarity and versatility; refaced, and revoiced, the Boomstar MKII is likely the ultimate desktop analog synthesizer for those who remember, and desire still, analog synth sounds that changed the music, and sound seekers who have yet to discover that electric magic and delight in their time—via MIDI or CV of course. The Boomstar's alchemy of combinable waveform oscillations—with sub, OSC1-OSC2 sync—filter and oscillator xmod, ring mod, 5 revered filter types, extensive modulation routing made easy via its 18+ toggle switches, and a flexible software LFO, make sound and music design a daring delight. Hardware envelopes with invert, loop, drone and master modes.

Nord Electro 4D Keyboard & Nord Case Excellent condition has some minor scuffs and marks to the case but fully functional and sounds great! This is the version with the waterfall keyboard. Selling as I’m moving house and this isn’t being used much. Pickup preferred but I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost. No trades. Very long description from Nord below. The Electro 4D possesses one setup of physical drawbars of the same type as on Nord's flagship organ, the Nord C2D, which is great for actively shaping the sound on the fly. The organ can be split, for compact dual manual action. You can also assign the lower manual to a second MIDI keyboard if you wish. The Electro 4D naturally has inputs for a Swell pedal and for controlling the Rotary Speaker. This keyboard boasts a B3 tone wheel organ engine from the Nord C2D and a redesigned Key Click simulation as well as the Rotary Speaker simulation of a vintage 122 unit with a great new overdrive. Also improved is the percussion model, giving increased control over the percussion levels when playing near-legato. The vibrato and chorus scanners have been carefully modeled to be just as alive as the tone wheels. Farfisa and Vox Models The Electro 4D boasts Farfisa and Vox models which are just as impressive as the B3. They simulate the behaviour and unique response of the original instruments. The famous Farfisa Compact Deluxe involves routing matrixes and complex filter combinations that give a tailored sound with massive energy and high-end. The Vox Continental features a brute design that gives a more hollow tone, but with a very intense character. Both these transistor organs have their own unique personalities. You can combine them with any of the Amp simulations, add some distortion, adjust the EQ and have a gig-ready sound. Explore the Nord Piano Library The Nord Electro 4D comes loaded with sounds from the Nord Piano Library - Nord's specialised library for Grand, Upright and Electrical Pianos, Harpsichords and Clavinets. State-of-the-art sampling techniques have been put in into recording these sounds, to capture the nuances and unique characters of the instruments. You can explore from new grand pianos to detuned upright bar pianos. The entire Nord Piano Library is included on DVDs. You can also download new additions for free on the Nord Piano Library page. Simply drag and drop files to replace sounds in your Nord Electro 4D, using the Nord Sound Manager for Mac and Windows. This keyboard has 185 MB of the memory is dedicated to Nord Piano Library sounds. Long Release and Switchable String Resonance The Nord Electro 4D boasts the optional Long Release feature, which is suitable for legato playing styles and has an ON/OFF button for the String Resonance (Gen 1) feature on Grand and Upright Pianos. Nord Sample Library and Sample Editor The Nord Electro 4D supports the Nord Sample Library, which gives you access to Nord's exclusively licensed Mellotron and Chamberlin sounds, as well as a wide selection of quality sounds from leading sample producers. There are more than 1000 sounds currently available, and the Nord Sample library has been updated on a regular basis with new additions being free to download. The included Nord Sample Editor allows you to add any sound you want to your Electro 4D. It can use audio files in the .wav format and has great tools to assist you in getting the results you want. You can map several samples across the keyboard or create seamless loops with ease. The Electro 4D has 68 MB of memory dedicated to samples and with efficient lossless compression algorithm, Nord can use samples up to three times the size compared to a standard linear sample player. A Great Effect Section Take advantage of the extensive Effect section and use the tweakable effects to give dirt, glimmer or atmosphere to your sound. The Amp/Speaker simulation now features the same Vintage 122 Rotary Speaker simulations as found on the Nord C2D.

Shergold Marathon Mk1 1976 UK Made Here is another bass I’m selling on. It’s a very early Shergold Marathon in black finish. You can see it’s an early one as it has the Hayman 40/40 type neck with pinned on logo and black circular plug at the rear and trussrod adjustment at the back of the body under the serial plate. It also has a large black scratch plate to cover what would have been a larger rout for the bigger Hayman pickup assembly. This is a hand made bass and has an amazing slim neck, it’s also got the best flamed figuring I’ve ever seen on a Shergold bass - just lovely. The bass is all original apart from the pots, these have been swapped out for a simple volume and tone control. Originally it would’ve been a stereo bass with a switch to disable the stereo. At some point a coil tap has been fitted and then disabled. The switch has been removed and the hole plugged with a plastic cap. The bass sounds fantastic and is very versatile. The Shergold pickups are powerful and articulate. They were quite a ‘name brand’ in the 70’s and 80’s played by such diverse musicians as Peter Hook, Mike Rutherford and Julian Cope. They have subsequently become a respected and sought after brand and recently revived in the UK. This one has evidence of lacquer cracking as is common with the brand and looks to have been oversprayed. There are paint touch ups here and there too. When I got it it had binding hanging off as the glue had dried out and the frets needed reseating. Now it plays very well and is strung with D’Addario 40-100s. There was a diagonal slot in the board near the highest fret and a small screw hole touched up with paint and another slot cut into the binding. Not sure what this was for - possibly a midi pickup? It wasn’t impact damage as it had been deliberately created, it didn’t cause any issues however I had it filled. It’s a little headstock heavy thanks to those 70’s stock tuners but does balance okay on a strap. It weighs 3.7kgs so very light and perfect for long gigs. A classic UK made bass with Burns lineage. Sorry no trades and UK only. Pickup preferred but I could be persuaded to post at buyer’s cost.

Squier Silver Series Precision Bass MIJ 1992/3 I’m moving another Precision bass on. This time a lovely example of a Squier Silver series Precision. The bass is a superb player with a neck somewhere between a Jazz and a modern Precision. The nut width is narrow and very comfortable at 39/40mms When I got the bass the original scratchplate was broken and the pots bypassed and wired straight to the jack. I had it rewired with a new Switchcraft jack socket and pots. I also used a newer black scratchplate I had that fitted without adaptation (I kept the original one which I can include). The fretboard was cleaned and a couple of frets reseated. The truss rod was tweaked (it works as it ought to) and now it has a low action and plays very well. The original pickup is very articulate and powerful. The body has numerous bumps and dings to it and buckle rash at the back. The neck has play wear with no significant dings. The bass is extremely light at 3.4kgs. It’s a good honest example of a 90’s Japanese Squier Precision very comfortable to play over long gigs. Sorry no trades, UK only. Pickup preferred as there is no case or bag. I can post if necessary at buyer’s expense as I now have a box. Parcelforce Express will be £20.

Great bass, great player, great bloke!

As I’ve just bought a fully original version this lovely old Squier JV model is now available. It is from the classic early 80’s period made in Japan and is in great condition. The neck is lovely with birdseye figuring and a very flat profile. Frets are in great condition and the trussrod works as it ought to. It has the date pencilled on the neck butt as is common with the JV models. The body has been touched up around the neck pocket where the finish has chipped when the neck has been removed. There are also tiny touched up chips around the J bass pickup and the bridge. It has been professionally modded back in the 80’s originally with a Badass bridge since replaced with a Hi-Mass. The bridge has been countersunk as the original Badass bridges were intended to be fitted. It certainly adds to the sustain. The other mod is the EMG pickups and battery compartment at the rear of the bass. The bass sounds fantastic as a result. When these basses were first sold they were often modded as they weren’t predicted to become sought after in their own right. The final mod is the side mounted jack. You can see where an extra small hole has been drilled on the original scratchplate possibly to accommodate a switch or LED, the rest of the bass is original. The bass weighs 4.2kgs and is very well balanced. Its been well gigged and toured, it has some minor dings although the only significant dings on the neck are on the top side edge of the fretboard as pictured. As it’s been modded it’s not a collectors item however it’s still a beautiful, top quality bass. No trades and pickup preferred although I can post in the UK only at buyer’s cost. Comes with an old case (if posted) or Fender gigbag if picked up.

Great looking and playing Squier Mustang Bass from around 2014. Made in Indonesia and in very good condition. The bass has a short scale, through body stringing and Duncan Design pickups. Unlike the more recent Squier Mustangs it has a maple satin finished board. Looks great with the black finish and scratchplate. Currently strung with Rotosound roundwounds. Nice and light at 3.5kgs with a stupidly comfy neck. It has some minor marks and dings to the body and tiny dings around the centre of the skunk stripe and at the top edge of the board but nothing that interferes with playing it. The only other issue is that the three ply scratchplate has slightly warped (common with Mustangs). I bought it to see if I get on with the Mustang shorter scale and I do so I’ve decided to invest in a more expensive version. I can post in the UK only for £20. No trades sorry. Selling for what it owes me.

The pedal is in excellent working and cosmetic condition with minor marks to the case. Very sturdy construction. Runs from battery (included) or PSU (not included). Purchased for now completed studio recordings. No original packaging. Sought after pedal no longer produced by Moog. USA made. • True Bypass • 700ms of Bucket Brigade based analog delay • >22dB of classic drive for boost and color • Feedback range from zero to infinite • Expression pedal input provides control of Time or Feedback • Mix control allows dry signal to be completely eliminated • Over 300 carefully selected components • Vintage compander circuit. • Designed to perform with any Guitar, Amp, or Bass guitar configuration

Great price on this and a lovely looking bass - didn’t realise the Vintera reissue had the ‘lollipop’ tuners.

Unused as I sold the (heavy) bass it was intended for - Well padded instrument strap for bass guitars The Ibanez BWS900 Bass Workshop Strap is specially designed for heavy electric basses and offers an ideal weight distribution; longer gigs and sessions can be played comfortably. For this purpose, 38 mm thick padding is used, which due to its unique design and width of 90 mm provides comfortable shoulder support and at the same time effectively protects against accidental slipping of the strap on stage.

Fender Roger Waters Signature Precision Bass 2011 The instrument is in very good condition, the neck is excellent, the body has some cosmetic dings but nothing structural. It plays really well and sounds very powerful thanks to the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder pickup. It’s all original apart from having strap locks fitted (and I’ll include the strap fittings). At one point it had a bridge cover fitted but this was before I had it. The bass doesn’t have a gig bag or case. The neck doesn’t have a skunk stripe at the back and has a fairly chunky profile. The original nut is brass and the nut width is very comfortable. I’ve heard the neck profile on this model is similar to the slab body P basses favoured by John Entwistle. The bass as stock came with an unusual mix of black chrome parts, single ply scratchplate, chrome tuners and string tree. Not that many were made, this one dates from 2011 and was made in Mexico. Weight is a very comfy 3.9kgs. Action is nice and low and it balances very well. I’m selling as the neck is not right for my fretting hand since I had my recent hand operation. I have reduced span so slimmer necks work better nowadays. I’ve tried to show the condition of the finish as best I can. It is difficult to photograph the gloss black under artificial light however the two dings are pictured. Apologies for the finger marks, I’ll give it a good polish and weather permitting get some daylight photos tomorrow. No trades, UK only. Pickup preferred but I’m willing to post at buyer’s expense.

Yes the neck on this looks and feels beautiful

This is a parts bass I put together using a Squier Jazz bass body, pickups and hardware and a brand new MIM Fender Players Bass maple neck. The object was to make a light weight Jazz bass for some longer shows I was to play. My own JV Jazz is quite heavy - fine for recording but not so much for long gigs. I got the body from here and the neck and Kluson tuners from Thomann. The neck is lovely with a satin feel at the back. It weighs around 3.6kgs which is under 8lbs so it’s perfect for those who prefer a lighter instrument. Balance is good. Sounds like a decent Jazz and is a good modding platform for trying alternative pickups and circuitry. The bass has some cosmetic dings to the body but plays really well. The neck is immaculate. Price reflects the cost of the parts. Pickup preferred but I can post in the UK at the buyer’s cost. I had it on eBay a week ago and the buyer who hadn’t read the description fully cancelled the sale just after ticking the buy it now option. So I’ll try it here before relisting. Thanks for looking. No trades. If it doesn’t sell at this price I’ll part it out. Parted out so withdrawn

Yes I thought it would sell quickly as it’s such a lovely bass however looking at other items on here things that usually fly aren’t shifting. Perhaps caution prevails at the moment because of all the interest rate shenanigans? Normally I wouldn’t be so keen to sell quickly however another house purchase means time to trim the collection again.

Price will not drop further so no offers please. It’s a great bass and a bargain you won’t be disappointed. These are becoming sought after.

Hi it’s a fairly shallow neck and the nut width is around 44mm
