Bump.

Oh yeah, that's quite an important thing to leave out, isn't it. To be honest I'm not entirely sure about the back so I'll give it a good check tonight and get back to you.

I'm selling my German flatback as I've just bought a new bass. I believe it to have been made in the 1940s. I've had it about 8 years; I got it from the Bradford based luthier Lily Bennett who rescued it from a school and gave it a full restoration (including removal of a very old piece of flapjack). While in the school it was clearly somewhat mistreated and is rather beaten up cosmetically as you can see in the photos. There are signs of a couple of old cracks on the back which don't move at all so will have been repaired properly by Lily. The neck is thinner than most so may suit players with smaller hands. In July last year I got to a lesson to find the neck had come off, likely due to it being in the car on a scorching day and maybe taking a knock. The repair was done by Kai Dase who also fitted a new ebony finger board, bridge, tailpeice and spike. All in all, due to the distressed/mojo loaded look of the bass you get a lot for your money. Anyone who knows Lily or Kai knows their work is top notch and Kai has said to insure the bass for £6000. I'm after £2500 which includes a good quality, well padded soft case. I fitted a new set of medium tension D'Addario Helicore Hybrids about six months ago. You can hear the bass on 'Dead Weight' and 'The Bone Orchard' by Gavin Davenport on Spotify.

This be gone. Boss SYB-5 in good condition, a few small cosmetic scratches but nothing major. I got it off a fellow Basschatter a few months ago but I need to reclaim some board space. Some big sounds to be had and a has a really cool filter sweep if you use it with an expression pedal which I'll miss, especially as I can't play Gangnam Style any more. £65 posted or you can collect it in Sheffield/somewhere else if it works out. Ta for looking. [attachment=147992:syb5.jpg]

Bumpity.

Hellbabe now gone, Radial Bigshot Mix back on ebay: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Radial-Bigshot-Mix-guitar-effects-true-bypass-loop-pedal-with-blend-/321130856900"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Radial-Bigshot-Mix-guitar-effects-true-bypass-loop-pedal-with-blend-/321130856900[/url]

Sorry, forgot to mention that. It's 34" scale, 17mm spacing at the bridge according to my trusty ruler.

I bought this on ebay a while ago but after receiving my custom fretless I can't justify keeping this too. It was made for the legend that is Scott Devine (who sold it on here a few years ago) and has both fretted and fretless necks. The fretless neck has a lined ebony board and is extended to get stupidly high, the fretted neck is rosewood and hits 26 frets on the G-A strings. Both necks are incredibly comfortable to play, I've particularly bonded with the fretless (best neck I've had my hands around) especially with the single bridge pickup and flatwound strings. The electronics are passive with volume, tone and a mute switch and the bass has a locking jack and Schaller dual design straplocks - I can include a set of the bits for the strap if you want. Not sure of the main body wood (can't find the original sale post on here to check) but it has a beautiful macassar ebony top which I'll definitely miss. It's also the lightest bass I own by a long way. My back will miss that. It comes with a Hiscox case and sets of both roundwound and flatwound strings, not sure of the brand but they have red windings. I'd like £750 posted, feel free to come and try it in Sheffield, any questions give me a shout. Cheers for looking.

Doh. Hadn't realised it posted after paying the fees. Erm... I mean... It's that good I just had to post it twice!

I'm moving this on as I tend to use a mic rather than my pickup now, great bit of kit and highly regarded. All the details are here [url="http://www.fishman.com/product/pro-eq-platinum-bass-preampeqdi"]http://www.fishman.c...bass-preampeqdi[/url] It's in great condition (the rubber strips have peeled off the bottom but that's it) and it comes with the original box. I can provide pictures if you want them but my phone camera is pretty rubbish and it looks as new. £105 posted or save a fiver by collecting from Sheffield.

Wow, lots of sudden interest in the hellbabe today! Shaun has first dibs then Thunderbird, I'll keep you posted.

Victor Wooten instructional video on VHS, covers various slappery and tappery techniques. I'd keep it but my VHS player is long gone.

Red Ripper be gone, bumpity for the rest.

Snowy bump.

Anyone need to complete a set?

And up again.

Bump.
