PEDULLA RAPTURE PJ 5 STRING BASS GUITAR - PEACOCK BLUE TRANSLUCENT. Top-line bass - the neck has been replaced with a brand new one from Pedulla (USA). The old neck is also included and could be changed to fretless; it works fine on the bass, but currently has no truss rod adjustment (hence the new neck, which Mike Pedulla managed to make identical to the original !!) as the top, square adjuster was worn. There IS tension in the (old) neck and, with the right strings, it will sit nice-and-straight and perform perfectly. It may be possible to somehow fix the existing top/adjuster or to add something to it, or to replace it. It has the matching headstock (both necks), + truss rod cover, and there is a brand-new Bone nut for completing the old neck (the original nut fitted perfectly into the new one!). The new neck is really beautiful, as can be seen in the photos. The design is really comfortable and the PJ-Bartolini (Vol., Pan, Bass + Treble EQ) works great. The PJ option seems to be the most popular and the peacock-blue / figured maple is very pretty….. Here's some info. re. the bass (from Pedulla) The Rapture is a “modern vintage” design, with a satin finish bolt-on neck. The Rapture’s thinner, racier design combines a single flatsawn hard maple neck and a solid soft Eastern maple body. This combination sets the stage for a classic sound enhanced by a smooth midrange and a bright high-end. Specially tailored active electronics bring out the Rapture’s unique tonal range with an extra wide attack. The active electronics include master volume, pickup pan, and treble and bass boost/cut controls. The Rapture has a machined brass "barrel" bridge which imparts the more traditional sound wanted from a bolt on.

Bump + thanks ken/lush' for the ++ comments: agree that this is a very good little unit for the price, probably better value than some of the more popular/known brands.

Had absolutely no intention of buying this (for son, who's since lost interest) from Sound Control: but when comparing similar units, this was head-and-shoulders above the others in the same price range (£150) Distortion channel is unused (no idea why they included it TBH) but the Octave is OK and the built-in (top) tuner very handy. Good sound, size and features. I've included as much info. as possible (below) re. the specs etc. Certainly not a high-end Combo, but works well for practice, small venues and is in mint condition with Crate Footswitch included.

Bass is now SOLD

Lakland Duck Dunn in excellent/mint condition and comes in a really nice Lakland gig bag. Currently looks very classy as fitted with a mint green pickguard (but with the rather more stark original White pickguard included) and some very purple strings, which might not be to everyone's liking; but they do play/feel really good. Probably the best & easiest playing 'P' bass I've ever used (the neck is much more J than P and the bass has a nice low, easy action. Also lighter weight). For those who don't know the model, here's some bumph re. the instrument and the player:- Duck Dunn Signature Skyline Model bass. This one retains the familiar body style but adds a thinner neck with block inlays and fingerboard binding. An instant classic! High-grade features include a hand wound split “P” pickup, ash body with flat-sawn maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets and fast-playing 34″ scale, Lakland Dual Design bridge, and Hipshot licensed tuners. Nut Width: 1.5″ Nut Type: Delrin Fret Size: .041/.085″ Width at Final Fret: 2.5″ 1st Fret Neck Depth: .77″ 12th Fret Neck Depth: .94″ Fingerboard Radius: 10″ Fingerboard Blocks and Binding. Scale Length: 34″ Frets: 20 Bridge String Spacing: .78″ Neck Wood: Flat-Sawn Maple Body wood(s): Ash Fingerboard: Rosewood Tuners: Hipshot Licensed Truss Rod Access: Neck Heel: 5/32″ Hex Pickguard: White Controls: Volume/Tone Bridge: Lakland Dual Design Pickups: Split-Coil Humbucker Duck Dunn’s grooving bass is part of a ’60s sound so distinctive that it is referred to as the “Stax Sound” to this day. He’s backed Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Albert King; he’s worked with everyone from Roy Buchanan to Bob Dylan, and Rod Stewart to Muddy Waters and Neil Young. With Booker T. and the M.G.s, Duck recorded bass parts so undeniably funky that they have influenced generations …. (etc.) This came to me in a trade deal (previous BC owners): it's a very nice bass but I need to sell something(s) and this isn't going to be used, really. £ SOLD which includes delivery by 24-hour Courier. I do have more photos, if you PM your email address (as I don't want to add too many here)

BassMute & Gotoh 201 Bridge both SOLD: other items still available

OK Ben - Gotoh now also ON HOLD

Ben / BB - yes, I believe it IS a 201 model. There are no screws with it .. but will check to see if I have any.

Thanks Bob: PM replied + BassMute is ON_HOLD

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.
