I only experienced that once, and it was after I left it plugged the bass sitting on a stand for several minutes. All I did was remove it from the jack (there's a micro switch on it, so no thump) and it came straight on.

Allen & Heath ZED6FX Mixer in excellent condition. Really easy to use, justifiably great reviews. £85 posted in the UK. Sorry, I'm not looking for any trades. NOW SOLD

Line6 Relay G10 Wireless System, very good condition. Really easy to use, great performance. NOW SOLD

Shure PSM200 Personal Monitoring System, in very good condition. Boxed and complete with rack-mount kit, although in-ears included are generic ear buds, not the ones that came with the kit (they were actually pretty poor to be honest). Well over £400 new, so grab yourself a bargain. NOW SOLD

Sony DWZ-B30GB wireless system in very good condition. Only used a handful of times. Really robust beltpack with a metal case. Base unit operates on mains or battery. £150 posted in the UK. Sorry, not looking for any trades.

Zoom 606 g**tar effects pedal. Bought on a whim a few years ago, great fun, but wasted on a luddite like me. Battery or mains, adapter not included. Never left the house, so excellent condition. £50 posted in the UK. Sorry, not looking for any trades.

Thanks Alexis! 🙂

A fairly recent acquisition...

Yes, went last night I'm afraid. Title updated.

It's very much down to personal taste, but I find the Aguilars with the Pope pre sound more modern and aggressive - brighter with more mid, and have noticeably more 'bite' than the Bartolini setup. The Aguilars and the Pope were in it when I bought the bass a few years ago, so the only comparison I can make is with the other 55-94 I'm selling, which is smoother and more polite in tone, although obviously it's a different bass, which could also be a factor. If you're anywhere near Woking in Surrey you're welcome to come and try both out. PM me if you want to arrange a visit.

I'm not sure what to do here, and I'm in something of a quandary, so I thought I'd let the marketplace decide... I have two 55-94s. One is already up for sale here on BC, and is 2006 trans white with a tort pickguard and a birdseye maple fingerboard. Here's the link: This one listed here is a 1998 Deluxe with a beautiful striped maple top, which also has a birdseye maple fingerboard. I don't know which one to sell, but I can't justify keeping both, so whichever doesn't sell I'll keep. As you can see from the pictures, it's in really excellent condition. I can only find one tiny dink on the top edge of the body, and some slight marking on the tip of the headstock, and that's about it. Not bad for a 21-year-old bass! The see-thru scratchplate is removable, and it's currently fitted with Aguilar pickups and a Mike Pope preamp, but I have the original Bartolini pickups and preamp which can easily be re-installed if preferred. Either/or at the price quoted. I can let both sets of pickups and preamps go with it for another £250. 35" scale with Lakland's legendary B string, 19mm spacing at the bridge. Weight is a very svelt 4.1kg on my digital bathroom scales. It comes complete with the G&G lined case shown in the other listing (I'm only selling one bass, so it goes with whichever sells first!) Both basses can be seen and tried out near Woking in Surrey. Happy to ship insured at the buyer's expense. Sorry, but I'm not looking for any trades.

OK, thanks for that. I assume the birdseye board must've been a special order.

I'm not sure what to do here, and I'm in something of a quandary, so I thought I'd let the marketplace decide... I have two 55-94s. Both are up for sale here on BC, the first being a 1998 Deluxe in Amber with a beautiful striped maple top and a birdseye maple fingerboard. Here's the link: This is the other one - built in 2006, translucent white finish with a tort scratchplate and a birdseye maple fingerboard. The 55-94s with a scratchplate and solid colours were usually referred to as 'standard' models, but this one has a trans finish and the birdseye fingerboard. It's a really lovely bass, with the original Bartolini pickups and 3-band preamp. I got it in a trade a few months ago, and I really can't justify keeping both. It's been played, but it's in very good condition, the only marks being a few small dings in the finish along the top edge of the body which I've tried to show in the pictures, and the usual nibbles on the tip of the headstock. The frets are in excellent shape, it's nice and light for a 5 at just over 4 kilos on my bathroom scales. I put on the chrome knobs, but the original rubberised ones are also included. It comes complete with the G&G lined case shown (I'm only selling one bass, so it goes with whichever sells first!) Both basses can be seen and tried out near Woking in Surrey. Happy to ship insured at the buyer's expense. Sorry, but I'm not looking for any trades.

Warwick Rockcase in very good condition (a few small marks on the lid). £20, collection only from GU23 (just off the A3 outside Woking) NOW SOLD

NOW SOLD For sale is my Cort GB75 JH 5-string, in trans black. I bought it a couple of months ago after reading several very positive reviews, which all proved to be right. It's absolutely as new, never been gigged, or even left the house, and comes with the added extra of a 5-knob John East Uni-Pre, which I fitted as the original preamp was a bit noisy and bland. (More about the John East here: https://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/uni-pre-4k-28.html) It's 35" scale with 19mm string spacing at the bridge. It's light at 4.3kg, and sits well on the knee or a strap. Bright and resonant, with a slim, fast neck. Now, what was already a very good bass for the money is really excellent. I'm only selling because I got another Lakland shortly after buying this, and I can't really justify keeping both. Bass Direct are selling these for £545, so I'm basically giving away the John East (which cost £217.50) for free. UK shipping is also included in the price. Sorry, but I'm not looking for any trades.
