Hi - I'll take this please if it's still available.  Thanks.

Bruce Michielli at https://www.fliptops.net/ was super helpful with answering questions about the restoration of my '63 B-15.

Chris Fantana of Rift Amps

His hand-wired valve guitar amps are very highly regarded by our 6 string friends - but he is also a superb amp tech, especially for proper valve amps. 

Highly recommended.

If you are anywhere in South/East Devon, Steve Rowse is now set up & running in Axminster. He's been mentioned before on here, but I thought a reminder would do no harm - just done a smashing job on checking/modding my Ormat pile, would totally recommend (and he's a bloody nice bloke).
Website - Steves Amps - take a look...........

Having slept on it I believe I will pass on this occasion.  I have too many basses as it is.  GLWYS!

No worries - I totally understand!  

👍

Is this the short scale model?  And are you able to weigh it accurately, please?

Hi - sorry for the delay in responding!  

Is this the short scale model?   

Yes - my tape measure says it's around 31 inches.

And are you able to weigh it accurately, please?   

3.4kg.

Really cool basses these. I have a trans red one that used to belong to Scott Whitley, he modded it to have a 3-way, Vol + Tone.
They have a really cool sound with both pups on, almost Alembic'ish in character IMHO, and the body shape is soooo cool.

GLWTS!

 

Thanks!

Thanks!  It looks even better 'in the flesh'!   😎

DeArmond by Guild JetStar Bass - 1999 Model, made in Korea.

I bought this stunner for a live project that I thought would ideally want something really different looking & eye catching (I love the colour!) - but, of course, that band dissolved before it got to the stage of playing gigs!  🙈

Redundancy means that...I must 'thin the herd' and much as I love it - this one needs to go!

It has a mahogany body with a stunning Metallic Blue gloss finish with 2 single coil pickups and set neck, with very good build quality, lightweight and features the unique 1960's JetStar shape, bound neck and distinctive bird headstock inlay.

It has 2 x vol and a single tone control.  Knobs: the originals that were on it when I bought (featured in most of the photos) were a bit scruffy & I didn't think they were bling enough, so I replaced them with some gold Gibson style speed knobs (first two photos) - which I think look loads better.  But I will, of course, include the original knobs too.

The bass has light scuffs and marks in places (please see photos!) but is in generally very good condition for a 25 year old bass!

It plays really nicely with a superb low action (42mm approx nut width).

Collection & inspection is definitely OK (NN13).  But I can ship if required - I don't have a case, but it will be well packaged and boxed for shipping.

Anyone got any experience of the Behringer UL 1000G2 system?  It looks very interesting - especially at that price (£269 retail).   Thanks!

What a stunning bass.  Do you know why the back-plate serial number, and the written number inside the electronics cavity are very slightly different?

I've got a Wal Custom from 1987 that I bought new - it has a mis-match between the serial number on the plate & the one written in the control cavity.  I asked Pete about this some years later when he was doing a re-fret for me & he shrugged and said "It happened sometimes...".

You go in into 1 then out from other to head and obviously XLR to desk 

OK - Thanks.

Is one of the two 'inputs' a 'through'...?

Thanks

Got to be one of the coolest looking Stingrays I've ever seen.   

Is this still available...?    Thanks.

Good times...   

....complete with original felt mutes!

There's quite a few options on the 'patch cable' page at Custom Lynx, eg. the below, 4m for £18 + PP.

 

I've only had good experience with them, long established and just as good as Designacable IMO but cheaper.

Ditto.  Got a amp > speaker cable from their eBay store.  All good - definitely worth checking out.

LK Straps - a bit Gucci.... but very cool.
