£179 new from Andertons. You may need to drop the price a tad.

Offers considered. 

Happy to recommend Pinball. Prompt payment, no messing about and great comms.

I've worked on plenty of Ric truss rods and nearly always clamp the neck straight, prior to carrying out adjustments. It is an efficient way of taking the stress off of the rod during the process of straightening the neck.

I'm no longer gigging, so another item up for sale.

This bag offers a very high level of protection and with plenty of useful additional storage space.

All zips work perfectly and the general condition is exceptionally good, with no rips or other damage.

I don't have a box for postage, so this will have to be collection only.

So long as the truss rod is functioning, then with the right set up, you should be good with pretty much any string gauge.

Turn the screw clockwise again until you feel some tension. Have the strings slack at this point and get the neck straight or even slightly back bowed.

Then tune up and check the relief etc.

Thank you gents, appreciate the recommendation.

Another retirement sale item. 

This little amp lived in my gig bag as a spare and has had virtually no use. It's in pretty much as new condition, which should be obvious in the photos down below.

Everything that it came with from new is included. The mains lead, a small jack to jack and a USB.

Complete with the original box and instruction booklet.

I'm happy for it to be road tested here at my place, although you would have to bring along a cab as I've now sold both of mine.

It can be collected or if required, I can send via a reliable courier, which would be around £18. (If you want a cheaper courier, let me know). 

Very happy to recommend Geoff. No messing about and a total pleasure to deal with.

Tread very carefully, as it's easy to effectively move the problem along the board. Literally do a couple of strokes of the files and keep on checking for rocking on the adjacent frets. Also make sure that the fret that you suspect is causing the problem, is actually seated in properly. Sometimes all that is required is a gentle tap with a light weight hammer. 

Lovely. I usually really dislike ageing/relicing but that looks great, the best example that I've seen. 

Always a pleasure to deal with Jon. Happy to recommend.

Very happy to recommend Sean, no messing about,  a pleasure to deal with.

I've not actually seen one of these in the flesh but I regularly buy products from them, that have all been good.

The time has come to sell my generation 3 Super Compact.

Amazingly powerful cab in a very lightweight package. 

Condition is very good, with just a couple of small marks, which you can check out in the photos.

£525.

Collection only on this one.

Tell us where you're based dude

Sorry I normally do, must have had a senior moment. Will edit the ad. 

HODDESDON, HERTS.

Another of my retirement sales, this lovely Gallien Krueger MB Fusion 500. 

Super powerful amp in a compact format.

Very good, used condition. 

I replaced the preamp valves last year, so they should be good for a long time.

I never found this amp to be lacking, I used it in pubs/clubs and also played some large venues and open air gigs.

Brilliant, versatile eq section and two channels.

I'm in Hoddesdon, Herts.

Happy for home visits to road test it with my Barefaced cab. (So long as the cab hasn't sold).

Price is £450 ono.

If you want it couriered, then let me know and I will get a price.

Also selling this Barefaced cab 

I'm happy to recommend Chris as one thoroughly decent chap to deal with. 

Just awful and so sad. He will be missed..

My Apologies for not paying attention to the tekst, im sure all wanna get this Baby so beautiful 😍 I would love to pair it with some beasty tops

No problem, no offence caused.

Another retirement sale item, the very impressive MXR M80 pedal and power supply/adaptor.

In very good used condition and everything works as it should.

Happy for it to be road tested at my place or I can post for around a fiver.

A bit of the advertising blurb down below.

Manufacturer's ID: JD-M80

Finally, all the essentials in one tough little box, You need a serious D.I. for playing live and laying down killer tracks. You've got to have a preamp and finely tuned EQ to add punch to your tones.

This one-of-a-kind pedal gives you the whole deal in a bomb-proof enclosure that will survive even the most out of control gigs-and players. Built with the highest quality components, the M-80 can give you everything from warmth and transparency to a volcanic roar, without making you scroll through menu screens or an indecipherable manual.

Engage the color switch for some sweet preset EQ, then tweak your tone with three band control. Dial in your ideal distortion with the gain knob and blend just the right amount into your clean signal, then kick it on and off at will.

The adjustable noise gate pours on the sustain and cuts out hum and hiss. With XLR and parallel 1/4" outputs and a phantom power switch, you'll never have a problem delivering your choice new tones.

I'm also selling this great little effects unit 

No more gigging for me, so my very well looked after Barefaced Big Baby 3rd Generation cab is up for sale.

As can be seen in the photos, the condition is excellent. 

It can be road tested here with either my Galien Kruger  or TC electronics heads (unless they sell first).

Given that I'm selling due to retirement, no trades thanks.

I would prefer collection but will discuss couriers and costs if required.

I am just wondering whether a new nut such as a Graphtech TusqXL would be easier? Has anyone experience of these?

I fit a lot of these on customers instruments. Highly recommended, nicely cut slots and self lubricating.

They usually need a little shaping/sanding for an exact fit but easy enough to do, with small files and varying grades of sand paper or micromesh.

That’s a looker, like it.👍

Pete purchased my fretless Fender/Manson bass and collected it yesterday. A pleasure to deal with, no drama, no messing about. Another of the Bass Chat good guys. Recommended.

Still available.
