  1. I got this very recently in a trade for my Bongo but after buying a car I really need some cash. It's got a superb spec, is super easy to play, sounds pretty mighty and is apparently a copy of an Elrick Expat. It's been listed on here a couple of times (as a Sventano) where it's attracted a fair bit of attention. The 24 fret neck is easily playable right up to the top thanks to the extended lower cutaway. And it comes with a hard case.

    Specs:

    I'd like £750 including delivery which is fairly bargainous, just buying the hardware would set you back several hundred! Or I'd consider trades for lower value five strings (worth £250 ish) with cash my way. You're welcome to come and give it a play in Sheffield.

    Ta for looking!

    This is a decent P copy which I believe to be from the 70s. Over the years the body has had a refinish, a new pick guard fitted and the bridge cover removed. There is a gap between the pickups and the scratch plate at one end, I assume the pickups are positioned slightly differently to a Fender or they have been moved to line up with the strings better so the holes have been enlarged.

    The bass has a great neck, the action isn't bad, sounds great and is in really good nick. You're welcome to come and give it a play.

    I'm after £100 + postage.



  3. I've had one for a couple of years and never thought to find a manual as they're pretty self explanatory but it was handy to have a look through. Some awesome sounds to be had, I'd recommend running it in a bypass loop though. It murders my clean tone and also allows you to balance volume levels between clean and synth more easily.

  4. I'm about to get a car and being my first, being 24 and having had a license for less than a year means insurance is a bit brutal. I've managed to get a lowest of about £2200 for a 1.2 Skoda Fabia estate (I need something big ish to fit double bass, amps, other gear and ideally a person or two in) with Admiral. I'm trying to get a quote from a black box insurer but the ones I've tried don't cover musicians. Does anyone know a black box company that will give me a quote?
