  1. These are great basses for the budget end of the field, but are known for two things negatively, neck dive and a poor pre amp. Well not this one. I have modified the headstock (kind of like the CLF headstock now) , fitted lighter tuners dealing with the neck dive. I have also added an Artec 3 band pre amp, vinyl wrapped the scratchplate in blue chopped carbon car wrap. Ash body Roswell pickups Through body stringing Six bolt neck construction Tusq nut Sets up really well, good sounding bass, well built. Ford sticker easily removable Downsizing the herd...sadly. All the usuals, come round i have biscuits, or happy to post at buyers expense (insured)
  2. A long term project bass of mine that sadly now has to go. Finished in Metallic blue, P-J body with routing for a battery on the back (currently enclosed by a plate). Bound Squier VM jazz neck and tuners, used to have the 'Fecker Jizz bass' waterslide, I have removed that re-lacquered the headstock. Early 90s vintage EMG P-J active pickups, punchy and powerful. Gotoh bridge Anodised black aluminium scratchplate. Side mount Jack. Flattop tele style knobs Few little dints around the body but a solid workhorse of a bass, easily good enough to gig (i know because i have...) Sounds great, looks great, set up to fender statandard specs, action can go lower. All the usuals, come to try, will post at buyer expense insured.
  3. And collecting dust...frets 1 through 5 are the money makers..lol
  4. tbh i dont do hammer on like stuff so it didnt make any difference to me. Plays normally otherwise.
  5. Dimarzio DP146 their nicknames was wild bill's after billy sheehan (i might have the nickname wrong i'll check)
  6. Jazz neck, 9lb and a bit (bathroom scales)
  7. I have followed Billy sheehan for many ...many years and always wanted one of his basses. Prior to being able to afford one, i built one..and here it is reluctantly up for sale (as is the attitude just as reluctantly.. see other listing). The clear out is cutting DEEP. Good solid body (poplar I think, the right weight, not super light pawlonia) Fender Hi mass bridge, 'wild bill' DP146 'will power' di marzio p pickups, DP1 humbucker, anodised scratchplate, CTS pots Wired like a Jazz as i didnt want to go dual output, easier to live with. Its no wallflower and has some live gigs in its belly, so its not perfect but definately has a presense about it..like the original. Drop a detuner on the E and you have as close a Billy sheehan p bass as you'll get short of a £1k+ attitude. Sticker and waterslide easily removed if desired. You certainly wont see another like it..lol all the usuals, pop in, post at buyers expense
  8. The billy sheehan bass, no shrinking violet this... Dual outputs, fiercesome pickups and beast of a bass. Not scratched, one small dint, that hasnt broken or cracked the finsh. The is the 25th Anniversary version, The 'p' pickups have been uprated to the relentless pickups found on the very latest version. Also these have neck dive (its not a small bass!) so i have changed the tuners to hipshot ultralite including the detuner. Stickers are what came with the bass (see 'spooky' Billy sheehans homage to his beloved cat) and in keeping with the vibe, yet removable if needed. Selling with original tuners included. Comes with original case. All the usuals, come round to try, can post at buyers risk and expense (insured)
  9. Highly specced champagne bass for lemonade money. Dual active humbuckers with 3 band pre amp through, 7 piece neck neck great sounding bass, joy to play. Couple of dints, nothing bad or obvious Save £100 on new, can post at buyers expense (insured)
  10. Sterling by Musicman Ray34 quilt top, roasted maple neck hip shot detuner. 3 band EQ No scratches or through the lacquer dints, i'd call it 9.5/10. Truss rod in full working order. Set up is excellent, plug and play.. Choppped carbon wrap on the plate, I have others available, grey marble, tort available f.o.c Also looks great without the plate at all. A very classy bit of kit. All the usuals, come round, meet up, post at buyer expense (insured).
  11. Not sure how but i have a warwick identifiction sheet for a corvette $$ 5 string, nirvana black oil finish, fretted wenge over ovankol neck Swamp ash body, black hardware. Serial Number G 146073 08 Dunno why i have it (might have been left in a gig bag perhaps?) If its yours i'll mail it to you..
  12. Top swap sending our basses in blind faith via couriers. The courier messed up big time my end and @Paddy777 was very patient whilst i sorted them out. Great transaction and very happy with my new Lakland. Top chap.
  13. what do you have in mind?..pm me who knows eh?
  14. This is a beauty of a bass. I bought it and unfortunately soon after the volume control failed on the pre amp. I replaced it with a Nordstrand pre including a parallel/series switch for the humbucker. Good tonal range all in a great build quality (great piece of Ash on this) absolutely nothing to comment unfavorably on other than the Key on the G string is slightly (and I mean slightly) out of line. Just a fabulous bass to play. Nothing to hinder good operation. Not heavy which is good for an ash body. Frets are perfect. No huge scratches or Dints. Previous owner put a bit of play wear onto the scratchplate (tort) i have carbon wrapped it, suits imho easily removable if desired. This bass has some presence about it for sure. Located in Kent, Will meet up for fuel and coffee costs within reason. Can courier at buyers expense. bank xfer or paypal works, cash with personal presentation etc
  15. G & L are a stealth make and i really dont know why. They are awesome Here is an example of a TRIBUTE L2000 Ash body, maple over maple neck. MFD pickups (industry legend these...) Active passive switching, pickup selector (check the attached diagram out for details)..there is a lot on offer here. Superbly set up, new strings only very very slight traces of wear. its a 9.9/10 imho. A shade over 4kg so not super heavy as Ash can be on occasion. All the usuals, can box and ship at buyers expense, pop on round...i'll even hoover and put the kettle on.
  16. G&L are the stealth brand of all stealth brands. The SB-2 is the swiss army knife of basses, punchy, easy to play yet still no one knows about them. GLWTS and condolenses to the family in their loss.
  17. PJB Phil Jones Bass Cabinet C8 Model C8 Power 800 W Speaker 8x5" 8Ω 25Hz-15KHz Dimensions 14.2 x 12.4 x 24 inch 360 x 320 x 640 mm (W x D x H) Great Cab fit in just about any car, has transport handle and wheels. I have run Bugera Veyron, Darkglass and trace elliot amps through it and it always gets complimented on tone, size and loud as...etc I actually have two and tbh thats too many as just one covers the ground easily. Its done some gigs and i have learnt through having the first one for a few years that some Gaffa tape along the bottom edge stops the covering getting chewed when being wheeled about. Some wear on handle but functionally as good as the day it was bought. Not an original cover but works with the handle deployed so all good. Suggest a meet somewhere exchange or pickup from Rochester as postage would be pricey.
  18. Sea foam green (its looks a little blue in some photo's..its green) Roasted maple neck, not over cooked like some i have seen really nice. Gloss headstock, rest is satin...really nice in the hand. Through strung or top loader bridge with grooving for modest string spacing adjustments. Currently set up with Ernie ball roundwounds All the reviews quote a very slight bottom end scoop on the stock pickups, no problem on this one, Dimarzio DP122 fitted, sounds awesome, big output!. Alternatively I have a brand new set of tone rider pickups which i will fit for a more traditional p bass vibe. One very small scuff in the belt buckle area nothing throught the finish so not that visible. I have wrapped the tortoishell scratchplate in a chopped carbon car wrap, and changed the knobs to flat top tele style black ones. Since the pictures were taken i have fitted silver scratchplate screws for some contrast. These or black, either is an option to the buyer.
  19. Music we usually start the gig to i the pub jukebox they forget to turn off before we start. Step 1: Politely ask at the bar Step 2: Ask over the PA. (normally ignored) Step 3: Ask again (now shouting over the PA helps, expletives optional) Step 4: Offer to mime to the jukebox Step 5: Play along with the jukebox until they notice Step 6: Start gig...late Step 7: Mid gig break, repeat steps 1-6
  20. I had one of these for years and loved it then inexplicably sold it. These are monsters of value and playability, and if this was for trade i be there in a flash..sadly cash supply is dry atm. GLWTS (wise choice keeping one they dont come up that often)
  21. I have a bugera to trade or a Markbass 500w
