A few things to clear - previously used (or planned for use) but all in new/good condition. 1. Bass Mute (as new + instructions etc.) for 5s bass. From the BM website: The BassMute · Activated with a simple flick of your finger. · Fits almost any bass. · Adjustable for string-spacings between 16 and 20 mm¹. · Two positions for different degrees of muting . · Can be used for only muting the low B on 5 & 6-string basses. · In addition to "Slapping" and "Tapping", the style of playing with muted strings as used by players like James Jamerson, Rocco Prestia, Anthony Jackson, has become popular again. The simplest way to imitate the sound and playing style of these players is by muting the strings with the palm of your hand and picking the strings with your thumb.The disadvantage of using this technique is that it limits your playing speed and the freedom to pick the strings in different positions towards the neck. Using a piece of rubber foam to mute the strings could solve this problem, but it is not really handy fumbling it under the strings between different songs. For this reason some manufacturers of basses were providing in a muting system on their bridges. The adjustability and results were not always satisfactory, so in the end they were hardly used. In cooperation with Edwin van Huik from the Bass Connection in the Netherlands, luthier Ellio Martina designed a new muting device for bass guitars. The original idea was to design a muting device with excellent muting capabilities, to be engaged quickly and easy to install on almost all known models of basses being around. The Bassmute presented here, is the final result of our efforts. Within the physical limitations of a minimum height between the bass' body and the strings plus enough room between the rear pickup and the bridge to install, we believe we succeeded. €113 (incl P & P) so about £90 new [url="http://www.bassmute.com/bassmute/bm_start.html"]http://www.bassmute.com/bassmute/bm_start.html[/url] Complete and with spare rubber mutes (set) although the ones fitted are still mint. Screws there/never used (.. you can fit with h/duty double sided tape if you want to avoid screwing into the body of a precious instrument) £SOLD 2. BOSS BT-2 Tuner. Still works great (been carefully boxed throughout and used only occasionally. Needle + lights tuning with in/out & bypass. Also has 'flat' (semitone) tuning. £18 (Incl. P&P) 3. GOTOH Chrome Bridge (unused) £SOLD 4. A.N.Other Chrome (Fender J/P style) - unused - £10 (incl P & P). 5. Sterling HS metal/Chrome pickguard. Looks great and is extremly well-made . but also very heavy (cf. a std. plastic PG). £22 (incl. P & P) .. watch this space .. I have a few more boxes to check-through !!... Sorry if the photos are not matched to descriptions: can't fathom how to do that when using the direct Browse/Upload (??? Help!!) - but should be obvious what's what.

.. and now SOLD

Thx. Nick - Ashbory srings are also now SOLD. Just 2 sets of Gtr. strings left .. somebody?...

Thanks Andy ... posted yesterday, so thanks also to the PO's '1st class' service !!

Black Diamonds now SOLD !... so that's all of the original post (a-e) gone - just the Ashbory (double) set and the GTR. strings remaining.

Currently ON-HOLD / pending.

Yes, shouldn't be any problem. I've used it with a Jazz bass + another with an angled-back headstock before: there's plenty of room at the top-end, although the basses are very well cushioned (no movement) once they're installed and the zipper (with the integral folld-in cushioning) closed.

In excellent condition. Very high quality, so no wear at all to the side or rear strap attachments, zip etc. Couple of superficial marks only. Very well cushioned for both instruments and with an ingenious fold-over section that seals as the zipper is pulled close. I've tried to show the exterior & interior in the photos (held-open with a Fender truss-rod tool). This is difficult to fold, so is better being Courier'd straight. £SOLD

OK - all those marked as SOLD are now posted (1st class - should be there Friday), except for the DR's which remain on-hold/'pp'. Black Diamond's still available, as are the Ashbory's (double-set) and the Gtr. strings.

OK - thnaks Owen.... that's just the one set of D'Walls and the Black diamonds left; plus the Ashbory & Guitar Strings.

Hi Andy Yes, that's fine - consider them yours. Usually try to avoid PP like the proverbial plague, but I guess it's not too bad on something less costly than a bass .. so that'll be OK too (I'll PM details). Should be able to get them posted pretty quicky.

DR's are now SOLD (pending)

Anybody interested in this excellent unit, which seems to be higher rated than the replacement PX4D. Pretty much mint - has the original box, booklet, belt-clip and 4 new batteries. I'll add the specs. if I can find them - but should also be available with a quick online search. Update: here's a useful (?) link .. if you have a few hours to spare:- [url="http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?a_prod_no=PX4B&category_id=6"]http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?a_prod_n...p;category_id=6[/url] £sold - pending

SOLD ... apologies to those who just revived the thread ! Managed (via/post ebay) to sell this to a guy in Spain.

My error (& apology) - Scoop is quite right! I'd not looked at the Roscoe site for ages .. and the SKB is now offered as full range 4 -7 (strings). I do think though, that in the early days of Roscoe, the LG was listed/priced as a 4-5 and the SKB as a 5-6 .. though I'm sure Keith would have been able/willing to build either to customer specs. and preferences. The skb 4 (3000) does still appear to be something of a rare beast, according to the figures .. and I agree that this is a fabulous instrument.

Hi Dan - thanks for the note re. 'pedigree', Chum. Just to state (the obvious) that this is a really nice Roscoe bass and somewhat rare in being a combination of the LG / SKB models (the SKB is not offered as a '4) .. and that Dan, from personal experience, is a great guy and looks after his instruments really well: so description / replies will be totally accurate. + Best Regards for the forthcoming event !!
