  1. Yup, I blurred it out due to previous bad experiences with scammers! As for the beer, whoever decides to buy will receive a bottle of their choice on collection* *Limited time offer (because I keep drinking them)
  2. Thanks for the kind words chaps! (Bump)

    SOLD!

    It's come to my attention that I've got too many basses, specifically P-shaped ones. I bought this a while ago to use as a gigging backup but I ended up never needing it. It already had the Quarter Pounder installed when I bought it (professionally done according to the previous owner), and unfortunately I don't have the original one. Either way, the QP's a big upgrade over the MIM pickup! The serial number dates it as a 2005-2006, but since this particular colour was released in the latter year I'm calling it a 2006. The colour itself is excellent - deep metallic blue which looks brilliant in direct light. I imagine it'd look the dog's unmentionables with a black scratchplate on it. There's hardly any wear on it to speak of - only marks I can find are some VERY light surface scratches on the back (nothing my camera could pick up). Feels great to play and sounds monstrous. I've just strung it with some new Fender 7250Ms and oiled the fretboard - it's ready for its new home! I'm based in between Southampton and Portsmouth, but I'm willing to travel within reason. I don't have anything to ship this in, so really not sure about postage - if you're really interested let's see if we can work something out. And now the juicy stuff...

  4. I bought this a few years ago to use while at uni in place of an amp. It's basically a recording tool for guitar or bass, and features loads of amp and effects models. Connects to your computer via a USB and has a headphone jack for practicing. Here's a Music Radar review of it: [url="http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/guitars/line-6-toneport-gx-138128"]http://www.musicrada...eport-gx-138128[/url] I'm selling it now since it's surplus to requirements - comes with the box, install CD and all the other gubbins. 40 quid posted to the UK.

  5. Electro Harmonix Bass Big Muff Pi - bought this a couple of years ago and used it exactly twice! Comes with the box and other gubbins. Chances are you know what this does. This is the bass version with the optional bass boost to help you cut through. 45 quid posted to the UK. [url="http://s3.photobucket.com/user/mylkinut/media/DSCN6306_zpse8683b9f.jpg.html"][/url]
  6. Just a quick question - my brother managed to get this Epi Black Beauty as a project for next to nothing. The original owner sanded off the black finish, and my bro says it looks like there might be a maple veneer on top of the mahogany. Judging from the pictures I think he's right, but the Epi site doesn't mention anything about a maple cap or veneer. Have a look at the pictures and see what you reckon - he just wants to know what he's got to work with in terms of finishing it. http://postimg.org/gallery/1xb59pey He's taken a shot of the lower horn where it looks like whatever's on top has been sanded through to reveal the mahogany below. Cheers
  7. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  8. A quick eyeball suggests the scale's around 28 inches. Thanks everybody for the responses! To summarise, it seems the beast is likely Oriental, 70s/80s and definitely not some long-lost Fender prototype ready to make me some money. I'll go stick it back upstairs, wash my hands and have a stiff drink.
  9. Does anyone know what this is? It was my first ever bass, and I've still got it to remember how truly, shockingly, humiliatingly bad a bass can be. I haven't changed anything on it, partially because I don't like having to acknowledge it exists. The guy who had it before me described it as 'a bit tatty' and I paid £20 for it. Real money. It's just awful in every way. Apocalyptically so. I can go in to detail about how it looks and sounds, but I'll only do so by request because it'll just be upsetting. Here are some shots of this abomination. I'd say 'I'll let the pictures speak for themselves', but if these pictures could speak they'd probably just scream swear words until you looked away in disgust and vitriolic anger. Here we go: [URL=http://s3.photobucket.com/user/mylkinut/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141230_143523_zps57b11b86.jpg.html][IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/mylkinut/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141230_143523_zps57b11b86.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s3.photobucket.com/user/mylkinut/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141230_143538_zps9c6123ed.jpg.html][IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/mylkinut/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141230_143538_zps9c6123ed.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s3.photobucket.com/user/mylkinut/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141230_143556_zps5e2680c2.jpg.html][IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/mylkinut/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141230_143556_zps5e2680c2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I'm sorry you had to see that. Seriously though, what is this thing? 1980s department store catalogue? Poorly made school project? North Korea's latest attempt to bring down the West? Any knowledge would be great!
  10. [quote name='steviedee' timestamp='1409256337' post='2538099'] Looks very nice that! I'm in two minds about a refin, the sanding annoys me. But refinishing the bass significantly adds to the cost. [/quote] Would it have to be a total refin? It looks like mine has yellowed significantly over the years, I wonder how difficult it would be to colour-match.
  11. [URL=http://s3.photobucket.com/user/mylkinut/media/DSCN5781_zpsb0216c14.jpg.html][IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/mylkinut/DSCN5781_zpsb0216c14.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Here's mine, made in 1987. Great bass, though even after 5 years of ownership I'm still 50/50 on the string spacing!
  12. This case came with my Jazz but I don't really need it. I'm not sure of the brand but it's sturdy. It has an open interior so takes any bass that's not too pointy, including my wideboy BB5000. Near-enough mint condition with only 3 marks on it that I can see - I've taken a photo of the largest one. All fully functional, no cracks and all the latches work (though I don't have the original key). I'm based in Southampton but I'll happily post it at buyer's cost.

  13. My '97 P Bass sold on here last week, but the chap didn't need the original case so here it is for sale. Perfectly functional, good clean interior and no cracks or dents. A few paint scuffs here and there but nothing major. All the latches work but I don't have the original key. The main thing to mention is it has '8 Ball Joe' stencilled on the side - this was the original owner's band name. I'm sure you could remove it, though I've never bothered because I liked the name! These cases are super solid and can take a Jazz, P or Tele bass (or any faithful copy; my Sandberg California fits very happily in there). I was tempted to keep hold of it but I really don't have the space. I'm based in Southampton, but I'll happily post it at buyer's cost.

  14. I got this as part of a trade but as nice as it is, I don't need it! ISP Decimator, good condition with a few scuffs here and there. Works perfectly. £70 posted in the UK - happy to post abroad but I'll just have to work out the postage cost.

  15. I got this as part of a trade but I don't have a need for it - not much of an effects guy. Well used but works perfectly, made in Japan. £20 posted in the UK - can post abroad but I'll just have to work out a cost.

  16. Hi all, In my quest to get rid of some basses I traded one for this amp with a guitarist friend who was looking to sell. It's occurred to me that it's far too much amp for my 6 string skills, so I'm selling it. Bought new in 2007 and in fantastic condition - one owner before me. Comes with the cover (a few rips and tears) and removable castors. Also includes manual and footswitch (unused). 2 Jensen 12 inch speakers, 80 watt pure valve RMS. It really is a great amp - I just didn't think about whether or not I needed it when I traded my Jazz for it! And now for some pictures: [url="http://s3.photobucket.com/user/mylkinut/media/Amp1_zpsf964d801.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s3.photobucket.com/user/mylkinut/media/Amp2_zps60bdb1f7.jpg.html"][/url]# [url="http://s3.photobucket.com/user/mylkinut/media/Amp3_zps539a1186.jpg.html"][/url] Cheers
  17. Had some interest but nothing concrete just yet - to the top!
  18. I was at the Thomann Fleamarket a couple of weeks ago and picked up a natural-finish one for £25! I'm deeply impressed with it, even for £100 I'd be chuffed to bits. Very solid and great fun to play.
  19. What a small world. Well everyone, here's your chance to own a piece of gen-u-ine 8 Ball Joe memorabilia!
