  1. Bump for price drop and being unable to edit the price or trade value tag.
  2. On hold, pending life sorting itself out...
  3. Ah, thank you! :-) (I was moaning about this on FB).
  4. Midnight Whine is what happens if Burgundy's Missed.
  5. Sorry dude, lots of likes on FB page but wasn't moving! Lemme know if you want me to wait.
  6. [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Moving a few basses on (see others on here)...[/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] This is my 2008/2009 Fender Jazz Highway One in what I think is Burgundy Mist (don’t hold me to that; someone told me it was transparent wine, or something) with satin Nitro finish (it’s supposed to age easily), Badass bridge, graphite neck rods and Greasebucket tone circuit. It’s a lightweight alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard and what I think I remember as being Di Marzio passive pick-ups (again, don't hold me to that! – I thought the stock pups were a bit feeble and I have a thing for Di Marzios, so I definitely swapped them). The sound is classic Jazz – honky at the bridge, P-ish at the neck and scooped with both on.[/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] No issues with the bass. It’s in good condition – two small pinholes on the top swirls on the back. Neck is straight and clean, everything working, no pot noises, etc. Can’t remember what the strings are but they’re fairly new and still zingy.[/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] According to the serial, the bass was made at the Corona Plant, USA in 2008 – 2009, Production Number: 171025[/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] The price is £425 if I have to drive anywhere; if you come and get it it's £400. For a USA Jazz. Honestly.[/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] I have no case and nothing I could ship her in, so it’s collection only from Spalding in Lincs, or I can arrange to meet in a triangle roughly between Grantham on the A1, Peterborough on the A1 south, and King’s Lynn in the east.[/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Not really into trades because I’m saving for a combination of 2 x single 12in cabs and a class D head.[/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Here are the specs: • Body: Alder (Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish) • Neck: Maple, Modern "C" Shape, (Satin Urethane Finish) • Fingerboard: Rosewood, 9.5" Radius (241 mm) • No. of Frets: 20 Medium Jumbo Frets • Controls: Volume 1. (Neck Pickup), Volume 2. (Bridge Pickup), Master Greasebucket[size=4]™[/size] Tone Circuit (Rolls Off Highs without Adding Bass) • Bridge: Leo Quan Badass[size=4]®[/size] II Bridge with 4 Pre-Grooved Saddles • Machine Heads: Standard • Hardware: Chrome • Pickguard: 3-Ply Parchment • Scale Length: 34" (863.6 mm) • Width at Nut: 1.50" (38 mm) • Unique Features: Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Body Finish, BADASS II[size=4]™[/size]Bridge with Grooved Saddles, Posiflex[size=4]™[/size] Graphite Neck Support Rods, '70s Headstock Logo, White Dot Position Inlays • Made in the USA[/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Cheers, Simon H PS I just noticed I have the D string on the wrong saddle groove. This offends my OCD and I apologise. [/font][/color]
  7. [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Moving a few basses on (see others on here); this one hurts because it’s the most beautiful bass I’ve owned, especially with the cream neck binding. Oh well, anyway:[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is my 2006 Ibanez Roadgears RD900 AH. It’s in mint condition – no chips or dings. I bought it a few years ago as NOS from a Dutch store (since closed). The price tags and shop labels are still on it (including the price!).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It’s a lightweight ash body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard and Seymour Duncan pickups. The pickups are versatile, with singlecoil thump at the neck, humbucker at the back and anything in between (including a passive switch).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No issues with the bass; neck is straight and clean, everything working, no pot noises, etc. Can’t remember what the strings but they’re fairly new and still zingy.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]According to the serial, the bass was made at the World Plant, Korea on November, 2005, Production Number: 21 (it’s a 2006 model).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The price is [s]£325[/s] £300 (which is just mad).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I have no case and nothing I could ship her in, so it’s collection only from Spalding in Lincs, or I can arrange to meet in a triangle roughly between Grantham on the A1, Peterborough on the A1 south, and King’s Lynn in the east.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Not really into trades because I’m saving for a combination of 2 x single 12in cabs and a class D head.

  8. [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is a 1980 Ibanez Roadster RS900 TV, recently set up, frets levelled and with new Warwick strings. Action is very low. No issues with the bass; neck is straight and clean, everything working, no pot noises, active p/u sounds like thunder but surprisingly versatile.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass in good shape for its age – no significant marks on the neck, a couple of chips through the lacquer on the bottom of the body, a chip in the bottom horn lacquer (you can’t see it or, obviously, feel it while playing) and various playing-related swirls etc.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It’s not a light instrument – I have no scales, but it’s substantial. The upside of this is aching tone and sustain for years.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]According to the serial the bass was made at the Terada Plant in September 1980 and is number 4358 (but someone told me it was, in fact, Fujigen).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The price is [s]£350[/s] [s]£320[/s] £300 delivered. [/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I have an period case for the old girl, but it's very tatty. Nevertheless, I will arrange a courier and box the bass up safely - and label it accordingly. Collection from Spalding in Lincs would be preferred, or I can arrange to meet in a triangle roughly between Grantham on the A1, Peterborough on the A1 south, and King’s Lynn in the east. I also travel a fair bit and can get down the A1, around London and to Kent with a week's notice.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Not really into trades.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers, Simon H[/font][/color]
  9. <grumbles to self... bought this only a few years ago for £350...>
  10. Markbass gear — about as fashionable as a mullet. Bump again. Come and get it. Coffee and biscuits await.
  11. Splitting up my Markbass rig and letting my 151HR cab go because I've decided to let the PA do the work and shifting air on stage just annoys drummers, keyboard players etc. So it's surplus to requirements. It's an Italian-made 15in cab, 8ohm and 400w. Full working order, not been used a great deal, never been pushed in my time with it (three years), cloth finish un-torn but plastic corners are scuffed (not cracked) and the tweeter adjuster on the side has a bit of wear on the labelling. But, basically, it's a tidy, used cab. Collection please, based just east of Spalding in Lincs, can drive it to meet you anywhere from Boston, Stamford, Peterborough, Wisbech, King's Lynn areas. Here's the current spec: [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=30"]http://www.markbass....etail.php?id=30[/url]
  12. Will ship only reluctantly, and then only if you organise and pay for it! Sorry, but I'm too busy to do much more than box it up and stick a label on it 😊
  13. Bump and price drop, after which they go back upstairs. You never know, the keyboard player might accidentally have his fingers broken. Especially those on his left hand.
