That was my bass! Great bass and I chucked some GFS pickups in there so if it still has those in, it's even more of a bargain!

Only traded it in because I am a real tart like that...

Any offers?

bump

Forgot to stay stand and tuner inc

It is with much sadness that I offer my rig for sale, I only brought it in April 2012 but I broke my wrist in June and now have limited movement and find playing painful.

Bass is Futurama in blue nice bit of chrome

Amp is Ampeg BA-108 Mint

Both of these were brought from Gig Gear Harlow, the amp is still under warranty

I brought this to learn on so they have not been payed hard or gig'd.

I would like £200.00 ovno, collection from SG11 area can talk about postage and buyers cost and risk

have a look at photos and pm any question.

Many thanks
Steve

Well this bass learning has been going well so moved on my old rig and dipped in to the toy fund, thought I would share it with you guys.

Bass is a Futurama - anyone know anything about these I have not found much on the net, guy in shop said most people take the chrome off but I like it!

Amp - Ampeg BA-108 - Loud for a small unit

Autosol, the best chrome / metal polish in the world used it on motorbike bits all the time

Thanks, done this today if that works on the the bridge!!!

Ok so trust rod adjusted and bass left to settle for 24 hours, re-tuned today and now only got a a bit of buzz on the D string, all strings at first fret still v tight but better.

Thanks for getting back to me, here are some pics not sure if they will tell you much?????

Right time to pick brains!!!

I have a Hondo bass ( I know its not a Fender but it was cheep and I am just learning please forgive me)

I am getting a lot of buzz out of the strings and find it hard to get them to tune.

Also they are very tight at frets 1 and 2 to the point that I cant push them down, I thought this may been down to the strength in my fingers but I have managed to play a bass in a shop with no problem, I have read many on-line set up guides as I think this has a lot to do with the string hight at the bridge but it's a bit beyond me as I am new to this.

Local shop can do the work for me but would like to learn myself, any help or advise would be great and if any one is around the east herts area would be great to meet up for a tinker.

Thank in advance
Steve
