Hi guys, recently bought 2 pedalparts tubescreamer kits with the intention of modifying them into xotic rc boost and bb preamp pedals. As misfortune would have it, Poodle has now released kits for these and, as I haven't time to scratch myself these days, I'd probably be best building those rather than faffing around modding these. One kit comes with a 3 hole mxr sized enclosure, the other without an enclosure. £24 plus postage for kit with enclosure SOLD £16 plus postage for kit without enclosure. SOLD That's a tenner or more off new prices. Also have a few undrilled pedal enclosures that I could add to either kit. Hammond 1590B/BB equivalents by Eddystone (that's the standard mxr and larger mxr sizes for reference). £3 for a small one, £5 for a large one when included with either kit. Larger enclosure would be handy if you fancied modding the kit to make a fulltone bassdrive clone for example (although further components would be required). Kits are sold as they arrived from pedalparts. Build instructions are not included but can be downloaded from pedalparts website (http://pedalparts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ToobScreamer.pdf). I offer no technical assistance whatsoever I'm afraid!

Guesstimate was a little off - 10 1/2 pounds using the highly scientific "weigh yourself with and without bass" method. Honestly thought it was lighter - hooray for Italia 4" wide leather straps!

I'll weigh it tonight. I'd guesstimate it's about 9 1/2 pounds but I'll confirm.

Recently acquired Lakland Skyline 55-64 in sunburst with mint guard for sale/trade. Excellent 35" scale 5 string p bass. Weight is 10 1/2 pounds. Bought from Drew at Manchester bass lounge a month ago (excellent chap he is too - highly recommended), but I've since acquired a 55-02 deluxe in trade which will cover all my 5 string needs. I'd like to get hold of a 57/62 spec p bass instead of a 5 string which is the only reason this is going. Sounds like a p bass should with a very nice action - I took a punt on this having major reservations that the Indonesian Skylines could keep up with the Korean ones which I've owned before, but both these Skylines are the newer manufactured ones and they're both excellent (the p bass has the edge on setup, but the 55-02 has it for flexibility). Condition is very good, with 2 scores on the body which would most likely polish out (difficult to photograph -one on lower body edge, one on back just beside string ferrules), and an impression in the headstock tip of the metal seam of the case it was shipped in. Hadn't actually noticed this before and it would bother me so i've dropped the price a little and I'll include postage to compensate. £500 plus postage with a very well used generic hard case. Will trade for a Roadworn 50's p bass in sunburst, but will consider other maple necked P basses. Also after a sansamp vt bass.

If you can find a box for shipping it I'd be very interested...

...must ...resist

Further price drop. Now £500 plus postage.

Awesome pedal. Not playing enough to warrant it though...

Up again!

[quote name='gareth' timestamp='1379437577' post='2212735'] funny eh? someone posts then someone else posts funny or what? [/quote] I must be missing something...

Aye they're nice, put the acquisition of 2 laklands in 2 weeks means something's got to give.

Received this in trade recently, but Jazz basses aren't floating my boat nowadays, even when they're this good! Really, really comfy neck, more meaty than most jazzes I've tried. There are 2 small dings on the neck, one on the headstock volute and one on lower edge behind 9th fret, but neither can be felt during playing. Little bit of finish missing on top edge of fingerboard around frets 1 or 2, other than that it's about as minty fresh as a roadworn bass can be! Weight is around 9 1/2 pounds using the scientific "weigh yourself with and without the bass" method. Looking £500 plus postage (decent quality generic hard case included). Trades: bass-wise, i'd definitely go for a 50s Roadworn P in sunburst, but not much else Non-bass trades: interested in a ps vita with all the gubbins, or a recent iPad (wifi 16gig preferred). Obviously cash my way. Pics here: http://s38.photobucket.com/user/Bigwan2062/library/Roadworn%20Jazz?sort=3&page=1
