Great work team! Thanks so much for all the assistance. -
I have an old Gallien Krueger 250ML (guitar combo) but it's annoyingly 110V so it needs a big transformer to plug into in the UK. So I thought, why not have a look inside and see what I can do? I don't really care about it but fixing it seems fun. It has a big chassis transformer mounted inside. This is labelled "00617 MAGCOMP MC-1724 8811". It has five leads coming off it labelled 1,2,3,4,5 Here is the schematichttp://bee.mif.pg.gda.pl/ciasteczkowypotwor/%23pro_audio/Gallien-krueger/Gallien-krueger_250ML,_250RL,_212SCL_Service_Manual.pdf Are any of you wise in these things and can point me at an equivalent designed for 240V mains? I took it to an amp tech but he kept it for a month then gave it back to me, saying the change was "uneconomic". But it seems like a fun project.

A pleasure to buy stuff from Jack! He does a great deal and he's full of interesting stories too.

Price Reduction for SEVEN DAYS. Meet me in London, take this bass, pay £120 and we'll all be happy. That's 25% off!

A quick note since this hasn't gone yet - I'm open to trades/part-ex but only for small interesting things like pedals, microphones and other things that can go in a drawer and don't take up lots of space!

A japanese-made classic that somehow has never flown up in price! It would have cost you £124 in 1981 (seriously: https://westoneguitars.net/scans-1/catalogues-price-lists/1981-catalogue/ ). 41 years later and it's barely more. Most of you will know that Westone is a classic brand of the "made in the same factory as XXXXX" school from Japan in the late 70s and 80s. This is a great "do nearly everything" bass at a low price. It has an active preamp that runs off two (count 'em) 9V batteries, but you can turn it off and run it passive. There's even a "dual tone" switch for putting the P-bass pickup in series or parallel. History - I picked this up last year to fix, from a guy in Crouch End who had forgotten to keep it working! I've replaced the tuners (you can have the three working Westone ones with it), a broken pot, a broken switch, the missing knobs and given it a gentle clean. It's ready to be someone's backup/living room/loaner/gift to a learner/dirty gig bass again. It will never be perfect (the tiny chips and rubs on the finish are its personality) but it will always be damn good. £160 if you meet me in North or Central London to pick it up. I can ship at your expense (and risk!), but obviously a handover is nicer and safer.

Hello! I've been selling aluminium stuff like crazy. But there are still more of them lying around this house than I should mention. We spend a lot of time talking aluminium at https://www.facebook.com/groups/735285233160228

Hello lovely Basschatters. Long time no see. Who would like a 15" cab with handles and wheels? Made of thin birch plywood so very light. Has a barely-used Eminence Kappalite 3015 in it. Collection from North London (N7) and quickly please! Moving house and this isn't coming with us.

A pair of Delano jazz bass pickups, ready to drop into your bass. These are split coil humbuckers, packed into jazz bass cases with big pole pieces. These pickups have consecutive serial numbers so are presumably a matched pair. One is 95mm long and one 92mm long. More details of this model can be found here: http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Delano_pickups.html £90 shipped in the UK
