any chance of a playing video or sound snippets?

Sorry, have not got anything.

Just had this delivered.

Any trades

PRICE DROP now £200

Ibanez P3115 combo, 300w, upgraded with a faital pro pr 400 speaker, couple of scrapes hear and there but overall good condition . Original weight is 17kg, think the faital is a little bit lighter, still a very manageable lift. 

Sounds great, remarkably punchy and quite loud.

No postage but could potentially deliver myself, as my job involves travel all over the UK.

I saw this in the flesh last time I visited Mike,  truly a fantastic  looking piece of tort.

I'd say that is an ash body.

6ft 2

Any bass trades?

Super glue.

MTD Kingston K5, passive bass, volume tone, MM pickup,  good condition, sounds and plays nice. No case. Price dropped to £200.

Trades welcomed for P' s, J's, bitsa' s, lightweight amp head, trace elliot stuff, anything really, give me a go!

Hi Nick, top is carved, laminate back and sides.  As far as I can tell it's not had any work done. I'm in witham. 

Geoff.

Zeller 3/4 size bass, Romanian made, excellent condition,  a few marks on the sides as you would expect, ebony board,adjustable bridge, spirocore weich E,A,D and spirocore mittel G. David Gage realist pickup fitted. Nice sounding bass. Soft case included. £700.

I found it really difficult to get a low enough action,  possibly due to the radius of the board,  and the sound just never worked for me, lots of bottom end and harsh top end no matter how I had the EQ set. Very disappointing as the bass itself looked and felt great.

The MTD is a fantastic bass, irrespective of the price, I paid less than a 3rd of the value of the fender for it and it outperforms the fender in every capacity.

Sorry to hear that. What was it about the Fender J that didn't gel for you? 

MTDs do seem to get a lot of love from their owners! 

Worst was definitely the US fender jazz deluxe 5 string, most disappointing bass I've owned which I regretfully traded a nice warwick streamer 5 for.

Best was the last purchase of the year, an MTD kingston 5 string,  passive single mm style pickup, really great sound and playability, great price too.

The correct order is yellow/Amber, red then brown.  Some people use a black, but a traditional fender style should be brown.

Gretchen Peters,  at Snape Maltings in suffolk. Truly wonderful performance in a great venue. 

US Jazz Deluxe 5, 2002, excellent condition. Low action, plays really well. Has been fitted with a badass bridge, which has been drilled for through body stringing on the B and E strings only. 18v 3 band eq.

Would consider trades, prefer 4 strings, warwicks,  stingrays, possibly a P bass, but I'm also open to others, try me. 

Any trades?

Ooh I do like that, always wanted a B100, the figured maple version.

Hipshot kickass, just fitted one to my jazz, huge improvement in tone, adjustable spacing, no grooves to cut unlike an original badass, and drops straight onto a fender. Paid £49 delivered from an eBay seller in the US.
