Will do

[attachment=194195:P1010194.JPG] [attachment=194196:P1010195.JPG] I bought this recently off Ebay to test a theory. It's a really nice instrument, quite light, not neck heavy, well made, Hipshot licensed tuners. 2 soapbar humbuckers, with separate volumes and a stacked active bass/treble operated by a switch. It also has a dial on the control cavity cover to balance the passive output with the active. This is a great feature- I use it passively, with the active set to boost the back pickup, which is a bit weak on it's own. Different tones easily available with the two volumes. In very good condition, three very small dings in the lacquer, that's it. I've used up my quota on pics for now, but I'll put more up when I've sorted it. £150 plus postage, or maybe meet up somewhere halfway, depending. Any question, please ask. Cheers...

However, it's sound is duplicated by my Ibanez, and too many basses distract me from actually learning, so here it is... I tend to think of it as a poor man's Hyperbass, and if you look at it sideways and squint, you'll see what I mean. I refinished the body in Danish Oil, flattened and epoxied the fingerboard, lowered the action, and changed the vol knob to tone. The finish is a bit rough in places, as I was too impatient, but it's well in keeping with the overall aesthetic. It feels and sounds really, really good- harmonics are very strong. It has a new set of Elite groundwounds on. £150 plus postage, or I'm willing to meet up somewhere reasonable. Any questions, please ask. Cheers......

I got this 2nd hand from Dave Wilson, along with my incredible Firecreek semi-hollow fretless, but my amp can handle the bass without the Headway, so it's here for sale. Excellent condition, comes with instructions, power supply, and box. £75 plus postage [attachment=194188:P1010214.JPG] [attachment=194189:P1010216.JPG]

D'Addario EXL280 Piccolo strings. 4 string set- 20p,32,42,52. Almost new. Only minimally cut, so will fit any long scale configuration. £10 posted. NOW SOLD D'Addario Chromes 5 string (B-G). Came on my Ibanez Portamento, and I changed them for Thomastiks very shortly after, so they are virtually unplayed. Cut for a 2/3 side headstock. £15 posted 3 sets of short scale (4's) strings 1. D'Addario Chromes flatwounds 2. Rotosound Monel flatwounds 3. D'Addario (I think) roundwounds, but with a clear coating. Older than the above two sets, but still with plenty of life. All cut for 4 in line headstock, 30" scale. £30 posted

Bump up

Haven't been playing it this week, and the thumb is grateful! Would definitely consider trading for a Conklin GT7...

Yum yum!

[url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0184ss-recurve-classic-5/"]http://www.acguitars...urve-classic-5/[/url] This bass is wonderful in every way possible except one- it hurts me! I have work related rsi problems in my left hand, and the asymmetric neck makes my thumb ache quite painfully. I am working on adjusting my technique, because I really love it otherwise. 3 months old, the first Standard bass sold. Even nicer in the flesh than in the pictures. The preamp is amazingly flexible without being too complex- I use it passively, with the active set up as my 'secret weapon'. The strings are brand new, as I changed them for TI flats immediately. Alan very helpfully included a B string, so it can be B-G, or E-C. It will come with a brand new Hiscox hard case, which will increase it's value, or very sturdily bubble-wrapped inside an Ibanez bass box. The trade value is there just to fill in the field. I'm interested in a 6 or 7 stringer, and will consider all offers carefully. Thanks for reading. [attachment=191396:IMG_8436.jpg]
