  1. Ha ha no problem. It’s not moving on here so I’m hedging my bets!
  2. I bought this as I always liked the Ned Callan/Peter Cook Custom bass - the twin cutaway reminded me of the early Gibson EBO Les Paul Jnr shape. The Revo is well put together especially for the money. It has a nice neck and played well unfortunately however it was heavy for a shortscale at 4.3kgs. The thick slab body also made it difficult for me to find a comfortable playing position. Definitely try one if you can as it may be perfect for you however I returned mine.
  3. I’ve owned quite a few early John Birch basses and the biggest selling point to collectors are the pickups and unusual switching options. Later models after - John Carling took over - were much simpler in design. Possibly one of those? The ones I’ve owned have had a back scratchplate and a very comfortable neck to body design. I believe that in the early days John Birch was most interested in circuitry design and the main luthier was John Diggins.
  4. SWR Workingman’s 10 Combo USA Classic SWR original pre Fender US made Workingman’s 80 watt combo. Despite its rather sexist name this amp is suitable for all and is very powerful. The 80 watt rating belies the sound this little combo can produce and using an extension cab it can deliver 100 watts of old school power. The original SWR 10” speaker is in great condition and all the controls work as they ought to. The amp comes with mains lead and Roqsolid custom cover. It weighs just over 17kgs so it’s not light but manageable, certainly a one hand lift. There is an extra handle at the bottom that works as a built in stand to angle the amp. I’ve used it in a four piece band with a loud drummer without a DI and it’s kept up. Great for someone wanting an all round amp with pro features that has a small footprint. Pickup preferred but I can post it in the UK for around £20.

  5. Price includes new cover and postage in the UK. If you can pick it up I’ll knock some money off. Cost new is £380 plus another £20 for the cover so a good saving. Excellent lightweight powered speaker. Used for monitoring only but can be used front of house or as a full range combo. Very loud and in good condition. Some scuffing to cabinet and paintwork but functions as it ought to. Description The DBR10 Active PA speaker features the same Yamaha state-of-the-art DSP technology inherited from its predecessors, ensuring superior performance and versatility, and safe, consistent operation. The DBR10 can project deep bass, clear midrange and accurate high frequencies to the outer-most edges of a very wide coverage area and can boast 700W of power.

  6. That’s interesting to know, it’s a shame that this model seems to have been overlooked by a lot of players who want a shortscale bass. The bass-whisperer’s videos on YouTube of the Fallout show off how versatile it is. A genuine limited edition US bass for the price of an Indonesian made copy. As I said I will keep this or the blue one depending on which sells first….having played this one at rehearsal last night I may just keep them both…..
  7. Squier Classic Vibe Mustang For sale in excellent condition, usual minor marks from playing. There is a small ding to the varnish on the headstock. The back plate has been changed to a F vintage Fender type with plastic spacer and the string retainer to a Gotoh vintage style chrome type. It’s very light and easy to play and is currently wearing D’Addario medium gauge strings. There is a gigbag with it. No trades. I can post in the UK only for £15.
  8. It would be interesting to find out if AI descriptions have helped or hindered eBay profits. As soon as I read one it puts me off buying the item even if it’s something good. Has the AI algorithm been fed sales pitch from a 1970’s Ronco or Ktel TV advert? I saw a listing for a eurorack module and AI did not describe what the item was or did at all, although it said it had shiney lights and looked nice……

  10. Novation KS4 Synthesiser This is a superb synth from Novation it is one of the best VA polysynths I’ve played and considered a bit of a classic these days - it’s 20 years old now so quite vintage in itself. The keyboard is excellent and programming easy and straightforward. I’ve used it both live and in the studio. These days I’m using a Yamaha MODX which means I don’t need to bring this with me for live synth duties anymore and so it’s sitting idle at home. It comes with mains lead - not a wallwart - there isn’t a manual but it’s downloadable. It’s in good condition with some cosmetic marks from gigging however it all works as it ought to. It was recently serviced and a new mod wheel pot and power switch was provided by Novation. It’s one of their earlier UK manufactured synths and very solidly built. It’s quite rare to find one with all the sliders and knobs present and intact! Pickup preferred but could post in the UK at buyer’s cost. No trades. A lot of synth for your money. There’s a very detailed review of features and function here - https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/novation-ks4-ks5?amp
  11. Yamaha DBR12 Powered Speaker for sale. Brand new literally unboxed and tested. It has a Thomann slip cover included with it and mains lead. I bought it to use as a keyboard combo/monitor but prefer the portability of my QSC K8 It hasn’t been registered with Yamaha and it is only 8 weeks or so since I bought it. It’s pickup only as though it’s pretty light I no longer have the packaging materials for it unless of course you were willing to wait until I sourced a box. As new and includes the brand new slip cover that cost £29. The DBR Series is the follow-up to the acclaimed DSR and DXR Series and the most portable powered speaker that Yamaha offers. Comprised of three new models, the DBR10, DBR12 and DBR15, the new lineup features the same state-of-the-art DSP technology inherited from its predecessors, ensuring superior performance and versatility, and safe, consistent operation. Yamaha's innovative FIR-X tuning utilizes linear phase FIR filters for the crossover, achieving more accurate and smooth response for outstanding clarity and imaging, while D-CONTOUR dynamic multi-band processing applies optimized settings for either front-of-house or floor monitoring applications. The DBR also employs many of the same protection functions used in our top-class TXn Series professional power amplifiers, assuring reliable operation for extended durations of usage.

  12. A lot of bass for not much money. If I were playing long scale basses I’d snap this up. Bargain!
  13. A very poorly Musicmaster https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266927107207?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=neZIIgwaQp2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Fd5SLCkkT3a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  14. A nice portable powered speaker cab, handy as a monitor, vocal PA or keyboard/instrument amp. The neutrik locks on the inputs have broken but the inputs work using a jack. The connectors can be replaced - they cost under a fiver. Works as it ought to - it’s been used lightly as a keyboard amp and monitor so has some scuffs and cosmetic blemishes to the grill. They cost around £365 new.

  15. G&L Fallout Fullerton Deluxe Bass USA Launch Edition This is the second of my G&L Fallout basses. It is in the very limited launch edition Racing yellow finish with competition stripes. I would like to sell one of my bases to fund new PA gear so no trades, sorry. This one is in what the band call the Kill Bill finish and is indeed a killer bass. It is in excellent condition and comes with a Fender gigbag. It’s a short scale instrument that has a slightly larger body so easier to get used to if you are a long scale player. It’s light weight at 3.9kgs and very easy to play with a nice action. The rosewood board is lovely and the neck has some great figuring. Note there is no G&L paperwork with this one. There is also a small cosmetic ‘bruise’ at the upper edge of the body near the competition stripe. Hardly noticeable and not an issue that affects playability. Pickup preferred but I can post in the UK only if necessary at buyer’s cost. One of the two I own is to go so I’ve dropped the price. From G&L - G&L Fallout Short Scale Bass (Launch Edition) Racing Yellow with Competition Stripes G&L Magnetic Field Humbucking Pickup Alder Body Hard Rock Maple Neck with Caribbean Rosewood Fingerboard CLF/G&L 1 5/8" Slim C Neck Profile with 9 1/2" Radius 30" Scale Length Medium Jumbo Frets, Jescar 57110 18% Nickel Silver Custom G&L "Ultra-Lite" Tuning Keys with Aluminum Tapered String Posts Leo Fender-Designed Bridge, G&L Saddle Lock with Chrome-Plated Brass Saddles 3-Position Mini Toggle for Parallel/Split/OMG Pickup Modes Master Volume and Tone Knobs The new Fallout Bass Launch Edition is available in three exciting colors decked out with racing stripes. This 30” short scale powerhouse features a G&L Magnetic Field Design humbucking pickup controlled by a 3-position mini–toggle switch for parallel/split/OMG modes – just like an L-1000 – bringing anything from modern to old school tones to your fingertips. What’s more, players used to a traditional 34″ scale will find this pint size puncher super easy to play.
  16. I’m selling my Fender JMJ Mustang. It’s a Roadworn finished bass but as new. There’s a lot of praise for these instruments - justifiably so as this is just like picking up an old mid 60’s bass that feels worn in and ‘just right’. The bass weighs around 3.6kgs and is set up with round wound D’Addario medium gauge strings. The bass has a really punchy Mustang split pickup and stock Hipshot lollipop tuners. The aging process has been tastefully done and the fretboard is lovely with rolled edges. The board has been lemon oiled and feels great. It comes with tags and Fender original gigbag. I have the original box so I can ship in the UK if necessary at buyer’s cost of £25. This is a backup for my old 70’s Fender and has not been used - I want to buy a powered sub for my PA and this or my G&L need to go to fund this. Sorry no trades.

  17. Escher’s impossible bass?
  18. Fender Japanese Mustang Bass 2008, classic cream white and tortoiseshell livery. I have two of these little basses and a JMJ. This one has been my back up and rarely played. As a result it’s near mint apart from a small ‘bruise’ to the finish. The neck on this is slimmer than the original Mustang basses and the recent MIM and Squier editions. These Japanese models are highly regarded and don’t come up very often in this condition. The bass comes with a generic gigbag. The bass is very light at around 3.6kgs. It is strung with 40-100 DR round-wounds. Plays and sounds great as you’d expect from a MIJ Fender. No trades sorry, pickup preferred but if necessary I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost.
  19. Markbass CMD 121H Bass Combo Made in Italy I recently purchased this from Lloyd on this forum, it was intended to replace my old CMD 121P that had developed some issues however my local tech has managed to repair my amp and so this is now up for sale. The reason I’m selling is because this model is slightly bigger and heavier and mine is easier to store. I’m selling it for what it owes me including the new MB handle I purchased and fitted and the delivery costs. Pickup only please. It’s an absolute bargain for a superb Italian made Markbass combo. Very good condition, some scuffing to the carpet covering, it hadn’t been used for some time prior to my purchase of it so the controls are a little scratchy. No trades UK only. Specs from Markbass - A more “hi-fi” alternative to the Mini CMD 121P, thanks to its larger size and 1” compression driver and custom horn. Easily upgrades to a 500W rig with the addition of a New York 121 or Traveler 121H cabinet. Designed for bass players who need power, portability and top performance. AMP OUTPUT POWER 500W RMS @ 4 ohms / 300W RMS @ 8 ohms PREAMP solid state FREQUENCY RESPONSE 45 Hz to 20 kHz CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 3.5 kHz SENSITIVITY 99 dB SPL WEIGHT 35.27 lbs / 16 Kg WIDTH 15.35 in. / 39 cm HEIGHT 23.03 in. / 58.5 cm DEPTH 18.31 in. / 46.5 cm

  20. G&L Fullerton Deluxe Limited Edition Fallout Bass USA 2019 First edition version of the G&L Fallout bass. This one in a fetching Miami Blue with racing stripes. It comes with original G&L gigbag, build certificate and Allen keys. It’s a lovely bass and weighs around 3.8kgs, nicely balanced and easy on the shoulder. The bass has been recently set up by my local luthier and the frets levelled - it plays really well and is sporting D’Addario nickel round wounds 45-100 gauge. The Fallout is a shortscale bass but retains the proportions of a long scale instrument. So if you are tall or a larger person it doesn’t look like you are playing a toy! I am playing so rarely now I don’t need such an expensive back up bass. Condition is excellent. The only blemish being a tiny chip (chip in finish now touched up see last pic) at the underside of the neck pocket done when the neck was removed. The neck pocket is super tight - probably why it got chipped. Usual superb G&L construction. The fretboard and neck are lovely. Electrics are passive with the classic MFD pickup. There are some great demo videos online with The Bass Whisperer. Don’t mistake this for the Tribute model this is the full fat Fullerton version. No trades. I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost. I’ve dropped the price. I’m taking a hit on it so no further reductions and it will be fleabay bound. I need some work doing on my house so it has to go and I seem to be playing my old Fender Musicmaster now.
  21. SWR Bass Monitor 12. An 8 ohm 250 watt cab with tweeter and level control. You can use it as a main cab, extension or wedge monitor. It’s a bit scuffed but works perfectly well and has the original speaker. It’s a bit awkward to box up owing to the shape for a courier and it weighs around 17kgs so pickup may be best unless you want to send a courier. UK only. The cab is one of the original SWR units before Fender and things started going wrong for the company. A decent cab at a cheap price. £80 PS can post but it will be around £25 Parcelforce.
  22. Trade offers need to be sent by PM only please and no sorry, I am no longer playing long scale basses and am only interested in the short scale instruments specifically mentioned. All the best.
  23. A conspiracy of blandness.
