Sambrook

Bought some months ago from Smanth of this parish, in excellent working condition (and still is).

Wanted to try it with my double bass, but I've gone in a different direction, so it's now surplus to requirements.

It's very versatile, and works well with all my basses, solid body electric, semi hollow, piezo etc.

Lots of effects, boost stomp, tuner, 3 band eq with dedicated knobs, switch for mag/piezo/flat, mic input with it's own level knob, Di out with ground lift. Loads to go at.

No power supply with it, runs on 4 AA's if you wish.

£50 delivered within the UK.

Pics:

Would it be possible to turn the saddles back to front, thus putting the break point further back?

How does the Rickenbacker collective feel about the Cheyenne?

They look sweetly simple to me, compared to all the 'clutter' of the normal Ric's...

Bought a Zoom A3 pedal from Samantha: well packaged, tracked, very good communication, and quick delivery. What more could you ask for?

Deal with confidence!

Naturally whenever you attempt anything needing a bit of concentration, a cat rolls up and gets right in the way..

.."if you give me some Dreamies, I'll maybe leave you alone for a bit..Deal ? "

 

 

He looks as if he's been on the Dreamies for a good while already...

Enjoyed that, thanks.

More defence of Chris Hawkins: he does appear bland at first, but his gentle style fits the early morning vibe very well, he has a good relationship with his audience, and Names In Songs is excellent.

(Was that what you wanted, Dad?)

👍

No, still available...

I would recommend TI rounds- very supple and smooth, with all the 'bite' of rounds ( and no bites in the fretboard).

Expensive, but they seem to last forever...

Very nice. Looks tactile...

...and just how did you get hold of my cat...?

Anybody tried one of these?

I have the sunburst that's for sale on here.

Neck pickup nothing to write home about, but the bridge pickup is brilliant, punchy and switchable between single and parallel.

The neck is really good too, and the tuners are excellent.

Super light, too. I moved the top strap button to the base of the neck, and moved the other one higher on the body, and it now hangs perfectly.

Definitely worth a try...

In fact I've had to stop playing it- it sounds so good, I forget the merry hell it gives my thumb...

Well it is definitely worth looking at - it has that lovely worn-in, battle scarred veteran look to it (and a tone to match).

One of the great posts 👍

 

Me and Jarvis are sorted for E's.

Fair do's...!

Can I see your certificate, please sir?

I'm a dB newbie, but it's certainly comfortable to play, and easy to get around. Definitely less intimidating than I'd imagined.

Thanks chaps. The serial number might be appearing soon...

Just found this on eBay -

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165765029439?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nzbr_P_0TwG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=SYHO0yd2SXe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It's being sold by a member on here, and I've messaged him. Meanwhile, does anyone have any useful info they'd care to share? I really like the look of it...

37"

I've only owned this for two months, bought from Ash of this parish. Oddly, I have to sell it for the same reason Ash did- left hand problems. Not the fault of the bass, just work-related RSI in my wrist. I didn't think it would be as much of a problem as it has turned out to be...

A sad sale, as it sounds lovely. Gut strings on the D and G chock full of tone. It has a lovely warm overall tone.

Selmer, mid 20th century (Ash's guesstimate). It's had a couple of pictured luthier repairs. I've added position markers up to the 1st octave.

The attached tuner is very helpful, and the piezo pick-up works fine. It comes with a bow (no idea of the quality), rosin, a soft case, and all the spare strings pictured. Again, I've no clue as to how used they are- they look fine, but haven't tried them on the bass. I'll also throw in the pictured bar stool I bought for sitting practice.

Personal pickup will be needed - I'm near Barrow, but willing to meet halfway, depending on where you are.

Very happy to answer any questions I've forgotten to cover, and here are the pics:

Francis bought a set of strings from me: good communication and instant payment. What more could you ask for!

Thanks Francis
