    Here is my old Ovation Magnum more pics and details to follow but it's in great playing and working condition. Loads of info on the net about these, it's a lighter one at 10lbs. Preamp is a replacement as it had been 'turned passive'. The large control plate was custom made as the original was broken and rather crudely replaced with a metal one. The preamp is an artic and uses the original battery compartment. Instead of a pickup selector there is a pickup blend. The pickups sound great and it's no big deal to wire them back to passive if required. Very unusual iconic bass with lots of tonal variation - think Jah Wobble and Barry Adamson. Thanks. UK only sorry no trades. Sold thanks Andy.

    Hi I'm in Lancaster

    Thanks yes it's a really nice bass it was filthy when I bought it and needed a bit of TLC and decent strings, it plays and sounds great now! A lot of bass for not much money the thing is with Peavey's is their reliability and excellent build quality it's a shame more people don't recognise what superb instruments they made in the US. The T40 basses are quite sought after but are incredibly heavy and rather cumbersome in comparison to the sleek ergonomics of some of their later basses. I do like the T40 but my shoulder doesn't

    Very nice any chance of detailed pics of the repair area? Courier pickup ok?

    Something of a flagship bass for Peavey at the time the US made Dyna bass featured quality tone woods a through neck, schaller hardware and active electrics. This bass is all original and a lovely player, frets are good, action low and the ebony board is a dream to play. It balances well and weighs around 9lbs. Minor cosmetic scratches and dings and a paint chip on the upper rear of the neck. Comes with original Peavey case. No trades sorry - unless you have a Markbass (Italian version) head in very good condition no other amps considered sorry don't ask please I can post in the UK only at buyers cost pickup is preferred. Cheers

    Hiya - no there isn't a serial number my other JB basses have had this hand engraved (rather roughly) on the bridge where the strings anchor but there is nothing on this. The pickups are signed/engraved by John Birch. Many custom basses were not given numbers as they were true 'one-offs' I think this is such a beast. It's now strung with 8 string and plays well, as good if not better than my old Shergold 8er - thanks to the shortscale - intonation is'nt the best at the higher end and will need work. I'm using an old Shergold Newtone set with Ernie Ball guitar strings for the octaves. I'll get a custom 8 set from Neil at Newtone who make strings for my Shergold Marathon 6.

    Remember the rescued John Birch 8 string? Well this is how it looks now. The original wiring is a write off but the pickups sound great and though I'm awaiting a shortscale 8 string set (I'll get them custom made from Newtone ). It plays, looks and sounds great! Thank you Paul Neild at Retro169 for the nitro refinish. At some point I'll put a restoration thread. Happy Christmas!

    Every John Birch bass I've played has been of top notch build quality and as someone else pointed out of through or fixed neck design. Birch was very interested in the pickups and electrical switching side of guitar design and these look nothing like the pickups Birch made. Elsewhere on this site is a thread about a Birch 8 string bass I just bought off evilBay even though this bass needs total restoration it's evidently far superior to the one in this listing.

    Interesting article here about them .... http://www.joness.com/gr300/G-77.html

    ...and therefore utterly useless as a bass guitar synth I actually had one a few years back, the weird lead with pins didn't work well but I bought it cheaply off eBay. It played ok and had a massive case with very pink lining. The nicest thing was that it came with 4 packs of LaBella flatwounds that were probably worth more than the bass. I sold it on and kept the strings!
  21. ash
    Ah 'the Dalek's handbag' as it was fondly nicknamed ... utterly useless without its foot pedal and controller of course.

    The item has been withdrawn apologies the novation keyboard was withdrawn as it isn't working properly.

    Perhaps this model of commerce is why the world is so screwed up I think we all enjoy making a few quid on a deal but the fact that this was bought from a charity and flipped at a gigantic price hike bothered me. That's merely me stating my opinion.
  24. ash
    Oh well it appears it went for £585 and now it's being flipped at over double the price.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291928733547?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Moog MF-101lowpass filter in superb condition, analogue envelope and filter effects with drive control. A great pedal for lots of funky wah effects and synth noises. No trades sorry. UK only. Boxed with generic PSU and manual.
