  1. Here we have a lovely Patrick Eggle 5 string bass with EMG active pickups, ebony fingerboard with 24 frets, Sperzel locking tuners, and a beautiful blue/green burst lacquer finish over a lovely quilted maple top, and matching headstock. She really is a stunning bass, especially when the light catches that wood through the lacquer. It was made in Coventry, England in April 1995 (see pic of neck stamp). I bought it second hand from a guy who lived near the old Patrick Eggle HQ in Coventry, who told me the bass had been custom made for one of the managers there. Seems plausible as it definitely isn't a production model, and it has a quirk or two (well, one: the unfinished portion at the bottom of the neck). It's a fantastic bass and has seen plenty of action with me all over the world. I've used it mainly for the Vanessa Mae gig (which should give you an idea of how versatile and playable it is), but also some other 5 string applications, Russ Ballard, Rachel Fuller. The controls consist of two volumes and a tone knob. Very simple, but also still pretty versatile and this bass will produce a good gamut of different tones. It records great and rocks live too. It's in pretty great condition, barring the odd small surface scratch here and there, and a couple of dings in the lacquer. There's one small one on the headstock (see pic) and a larger one at the bottom on the back which can't be seen from the front at all so doesn't show. I'm in Bournemouth but would be willing to drive a reasonable distance for fuel money if you want to meet. Otherwise I am happy to ship at buyer's expense (and risk) via their choice of courier. The bass comes in a battered but serviceable SKB hard case (free of charge). 34" scale 47mm at the nut 70mm at the saddles, which gives an average string spacing of 17.5mm Weight is a very comfortable 3.9kg / 8lbs 12oz Oh, and I'm selling because I now have three 5 string basses and that's two too many! Here she is EDIT 28/10/2016: PRICE DROPPED TO £500 (firm)
  2. [b]PRICE DROPPED TO £600 (firm) [/b]30/05/2016 Here we have a most excellent 24 fret 5 string thru-neck bass, made in the USA in 2000. The body is bubinga over walnut, neck is Pau Ferro over walnut and is an amazing, graphite reinforced neck... very comfortable and playable all the way up, thanks to the fact that all 24 frets are 'north' of where the neck joins the body. Condition is pretty good. Just a few surface scratches here and there (the pics make them look worse than they are -- sunny day!), but nothing that interferes with the overall look or feel. The gold plated hardware is slightly worn and faded, as always happens with gold coloured stuff, but still fully serviceable. The bass plays extremely well and sounds fantastic with a broad range of tones, thanks to the comprehensive active electronics and EQ. That said, it does need a set of strings, and while I could put a set on now, I think it makes more sense to let the buyer put on their own choice of strings post sale. The base will come in a battered but serviceable Gator hard case (free of charge). I'm based in Bournemouth but would be prepared to drive a reasonable distance for fuel money to meet up. This is a fantastic American made bass, which I am only selling because I now have three 5 strings and only need one (my recently acquired Mike Lull M5V).

  3. Cheers Jordi. Very straightforward and easy transaction. Good communication and no problems at all. Deal with confidence. Thanks mate. Best, Stuee
  4. Anyone for a good cheap compressor pedal? BUMP
  5. How about this one, did it sell or still available?
  6. Did this sell?
  7. Cheers Danny! Already feeling seller's remorse :-/ This item is now SOLD.
  8. And SOLD. Thanks Ryan
  9. The Mini Q-Tron is powered by either a 9V battery or a 9V 100mA 1/8" tip-positive adaptor. So yes
  10. Here we have a very clean example of the famous FX-25 Envelope Filter from DOD, made around 1990/1991 I think (from the serial number). As you can see the battery door is still intact, and the whole thing is in great shape, especially considering it is 25 years old. Collection from Bournemouth, or I will ship at buyers expense and choice of shipping method. I'm around until 21st April, then touring for a couple of weeks.

  11. Here we have a lovely old Electro-Harmonix Mini Q-Tron, a classic pedal and in pretty great shape. [b]Asking price - £40[/b]. Seems to be the going rate. Very clean, with a few light surface scratches and a couple of Tipp-Ex marks from a previous owner, no feet but two strips of heavy duty velcro on the bottom. Selling to help finance other things. There are soooo many things!! Collection from Bournemouth, or I will ship at cost (buyer's choice of shipping method). Payment by cash, bank transfer or PayPal. I'm around until 21st April and then on tour for a couple of weeks.

  12. Remarkably, still available! BUMP
  13. Just purchased a Markbass TTE 500 head from Richard. Very easy and smooth deal, great comms, amp well packaged in original box and shipped promptly for reasonable shipping fee. All round great transaction and Richard is very easy to deal with. Perfect. Thank you!

  15. Just purchased Andy's Mike Lull 5 string jazz. He was very helpful and reasonable, great comms and the whole thing was very smooth. Very pleased with the bass and it was exactly as described. Many thanks mate

  17. So please edit your title! (add SOLD at the beginning) [quote name='seifregno' timestamp='1454352938' post='2968919'] Sold, sorry! [/quote]
  18. "More pictures"? There aren't any
  19. Please edit your topic title so it says SOLD at the beginning. Why can't people get that it's an extremely frustrating waste of members' time reading through entire threads only to see at the end that the item has in fact already sold?
