  1. Nice, 10/10 for this sales pitch...😂😂😂. 38/39mm nut but with a thinnish flat profile.
  2. MONO M80 Dual Bass Case. In very good condition, see photos, just a couple of nicks. The worst if which is shown in the photos. £195Collected from Chorley Lancs. I think these are too oversized(on the width) to be able to ship in a sensible box and at a sensible cost. ABOUT THIS PRODUCT A second bass is a must-have on stage or in the studio. But in transit, carrying two bass guitars has always been a necessary evil. We set out to design an elegant solution to this problem. Our driving criteria was to offer each guitar the same protection as our single M80 hybrid case. After a year of prototyping, the Z-form™ design was perfected (patents pending). The end result is an incredibly light weight, extremely rugged Classic Dual Bass Guitar Case. A first of its kind. Go play. 360° PROTECTION DROP-PROOF The patented Headlock™ design provides a level of protection worthy of the finest instruments. Your guitars quickly strap in and remain stabilized during transport. The headstocks of both guitars are suspended inside the case, saving them from both side and rear impacts. STRAP PIN PROTECTION Hi-density foam bumpers divert vertical impacts out and around the case, away from the strap pin. Integral ABS panels deliver hardcase protection at a fraction of the weight. The reinforced outer shell of the case absorbs and deflects hard impact away from the vulnerable areas of the guitar. SMART STORAGE ONE OR TWO GUITARS This patented “zig zag” design creates a completely separate case for each guitar. That means both headstocks are protected with our Headlock™ suspension system and strap pin bumpers. It also means the M80 Dual can be used with 1 or 2 guitars - something you’ll appreciate on the road. Additionally, the Z-form design allows for immediate access to either instrument. TICK-READY Most MONO cases come equipped with the triple D-ring attachments required for the optional Classic Tick Accessory Case, the modular tool case designed to extend the storage capacity of your guitar case. The Classic Tick Accessory Case seamlessly and securely attaches to the case as shown. Some older cases may not be Tick-ready - please contact support if you have questions about the Tick-compatibility of your MONO case. PLUG AND PLAY Everything in its place. Specialized storage compartments put your gear right where you need it. The hidden upper pocket keeps your wallet, keys, and cell concealed. Pen slots double as tool storage. Business card storage and a durable key clip are also included. BUILT TO LAST WEAR IT OUT We build our cases to military specs, using only high-test materials with extreme resistance to abrasion and the elements. Inside, the plush lining protects delicate custom finishes. Outside, the water-resistant Sharkskin™ shell keeps you on the move, rain or shine. 100% animal free. RIVETED HANDLE & HYPALON SOLE Rock solid, industrial webbing handles come standard on MONO cases. Bar-tack stitching and steel rivets reinforce for strength, while high grade webbing provides a super comfortable grip. All M80 cases feature a hard-wearing sole and piping made of Hypalon - the same industrial rubber used to create inflatable military rafts. This sole simply does not wear out
  3. Peavey Unity Bass, Made In USA - Neck Through. - £350 shipped Mainland UK. Passive P / J Pickups. Comes with nice Leather (effect?) Peavey Gigbag. Dates from early 1990s I believe. Overall condition is average - some scratches as shown in the photographs. on the body of the bass. Weight is 3.903KG, or 8lb 9oz.
  4. SGC Nanyo Bass Collection Passive SB300 - In Pink !!! £189 shipped Mainland UK. Passive SGC Nanyo Bass Collection. Definitely pink as a factory finish - see pictures from inside the control cavity. I've taken photos in different areas/different light to try and capture the pink accurately. Decent overall condition - all works as it should. A few dings and dents as shown in the photos and a hairline crack in the finish on the back of the neck - where the headstock meets the neck itself. Edit - To say will try and find some knobs that all match.
  5. Yamaha RBX550M - Made in Taiwan - £199 shipped Mainland UK 1990 I believe - below are screenshots of the 1990 Yamaha Brochure. Good overall condition given the age. Good quality and plays nicely like most Yammies do, with a medium, nice easy playing action. A few scars on the body and neck, commensurate with the age and use. Clearly not a pristine bass. Being critical - I'd say the pots are somewhat of a bit of a weak link as often found on basses of this price point from this age. Set up is PJ with Volume / Balance / Tone.
  6. Correct again my friend - as a (six string) guitar tuning its to drop the low string often to allow the 2 lower notes below E and the one finger barre power chords. In Rock - tuning down a semi tone is very common, as is Drop D tuning - Drop C# does both...
  7. Yep - this is what it is.
  8. If the gig was at a pretty big venue wasn't there a PA that would have been doing all the heavy lifting to get the band that loud?
  9. We play 90 per cent in drop C# in my band...... thoughts: 4 string bass will be better mostly better than a 5 as I'd expect a lot of open low string based riffs, chord changes based around the C#. Try different gauges but heavier gauges are not essential in my experience. If you are looking for a bright zingy sounds some rattle and clank from low tensioned strings might be desirable. The set up is more important that the string gauge to me. For the 5'er fretless option, I'd use that in its standard tuning with a low B.
  10. Yep, it's not where you start, or where you end up...it's about the journey, right?
  11. Gallien Krueger MB200 - Designed & Assembled in the USA - Not all of them were.... £200 Shipped Mainland UK I've mainly used this for home practice but I'm now using my Zoom B3n for that so this is now surplus and up for sale. Spec: 200w into 4ohms, 140w into 8ohms - but sounds much louder - albeit to my old cloth ears! - 10db pad, four band active EQ section with contour, headphone/line out, XLR out - pre/post EQ, Speakon output, Aux Input. Measures 8" x 7.75" x 1.5" & weighs just 2ibs. Decent overall condition - just a few scars here and there. YouTube demo:
  12. Thanks Lozz - would be great to see you. Yep, we've played many times at the Waterloo - we like it good venue, great staff, good crowd
  13. Yes, that was my thought...volume wars!. It's a slow process but I find some gentle education to the others of going down the route of everything else turning down to get a good balance. Hopefully preventing the pattern of turning things up one at a time helps.
  14. First big gig back!!! My band SOLDATO opening for Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons. Waterloo Music Bar Blackpool. Bank Holiday Monday 30th August
  15. Ahhh, didn't realise it was your bass too. Yes, a fine bass as is. I'm half tempted myself. Can you put up a photo of the preamp too, what weight is it?
  16. I think you are referring to my old one there. That has EMG active pickups and a Tonepump upgrade worth around £200. Fret decals as well to complete the look. As stock these will have passive EMG HZ pickups, pretty rubbish in my view and miles away from the true Spector Sound. Preamp is likely an EMG which is actually fine. I see the Gumtree advert says Active, that's the preamp that is active, photos show clearly that the pickups are passive EMG HZ.
  17. Absolutely this for me too, and I hope that not listening to them keeps them fresh when playing live.
  18. Oh no - Awful news. I too considered Martin as a friend, I hope he knew that. Great bloke, funny bloke, all round good guy.
  19. These are all great - Thank you. I will enjoy working through these.
  20. First gig back for me in a couple of weeks. My band Soldato opening things up on this.
  21. It's entirely possible that even after the commission has been taken out a seller could still end up with the same amount of money or possibly more money. Many used basses on Bass Direct are listed up for over 20% more than they would have been likely to have been listed for in the various places to list a private sale. This also provides access to a larger, specialised customer base. Warwicks for example appear to sell through Bass Direct for much more than a seller would likely get in a straight person to person private sale. Commisssion isnt all negative of couse. I'm always reminded of the commission free currency exchange rates. On many of these you could come out with a better deal on an exchange where you do pay a commission on a rate that is x percentage points over and above what you would pay as a commission percentage.
