  1. Gallien Krueger GK Fusion 550. £500 shipped Mainland UK. I have the original box so can ship safely. A few marks, dings and scrapes on the casing from normal use but all works as it should. The Gallien-Krueger Fusion 550 is GK's first bass amp head featuring an all-tube preamp. The Fusion 550 bass head incorporates a uniquely designed 6-stage tube preamp paired with a 500W version of the high-current solid-state power amp used in the GK 1001RB-II. The rich warmth of tubes, combined with the quick, punchy power that G-K bass amps are known for, is an aural experience you must hear to believe. As if that wasn't enough, GK has inventively incorporated motorized knobs into the Fusion 550 head that allow you to store two different settings. This gives you the ability to dial in a separate overdrive or slap tone and footswitch between them--a first for a fully analog bass amplifier. The Fusion 550 amp also features a simplified version of GK's exclusive 50-W Horn Bi-Amp System. Dial in the horn where you like it, and as you adjust your volume with the master control, the ratio between the woofer and tweeter is preserved. Other features include a tube driven 4-band active EQ and voicing filters with a frequency select for the contour control. The rear panel features include Neutrik Speakon and 1/4" speaker output jacks, effects loop, tuner out, and a footswitch input jack. It also has a DI output which uses an isolated transformer for ultra-quiet operation.

  2. I dont think it makes much difference with EMG's. EMG's are much less sensitive (hardly at all in my experience) to distance from string to most other pickups.
  3. Now £900 plus £35 to ship mainland UK.
  4. Screenshot for output. Dimensions (W x D x H) 19" x 14" x 3U (48cm x 36cm x 13cm)
  5. One five string to rule them all??..... Stingray 5 String would be my choice.
  6. Yes, interesting. Was interested but £2.5k for a MIC bass was a bridge too far for me. I had a MIC D Roc at about £1.5k and thought that was absolute top end on the quality to price ratio.
  7. Modulus FU Funk Unlimited Flea Bass Modulus FU Funk Unlimited Flea Bass - 2004 - £2899 shipped mainland UK. No trades. Good overall condition, small scratch on back of bass, some scuffing on end of headstock and a chip on the underside of the headstock are the only things I can see worthy of a mention - all pictured. Dates from 2004. Weight is 4.196kg on digital kitchen scales. Preamp is a Batrolini NTBT 918.
  8. Interesting bass, these are Made In China, set up in Canada, correct? On the Pre amp specs: Preamp Rupert Neve Designs 2-Band EQ Bass: +/- 12db / 20Hz Treble: +/- 12db / 4.4KHz 20HZ on Bass is low.
  9. Yep - the Bleached Blonde Thumbs are 2003.
  10. Nice basses, though be aware if buying in the UK (if thats where they still are...) I know of at least 2 and most likely 3 of these that have neck / truss rod issues. Number 27 is one I'm fairly certain. Another was listed on ebay for spares as separate neck and body, then surfaced later as a complete bass at Bass Direct in the used section.
  11. Jeez.... Tempted by this and dropping a Tonepump in....
  12. Yes of course, happy to help
  13. Sold a bass to Quent. Remarkably easy and straight forward deal. Easy communication, no drama at all. Would be more than happy to deal with again.
  14. What difference does a preamp make in a bass? It depends on what preamp was in before and the new preamp. Replace a (non trim version especially) tone pump into a bass that had a different preamp and you will see a huge difference in output and tone shaping options.
  15. "taped up both ends so there's a definite start/finish (like a Stingray headstock end) and it's very subtle." As our much missed BC legend MB1 would say.... That's the Stingray tide mark.
  16. For rock? - Has to be a Spector......
  17. Yes to just those 2 areas. Scalloped frets benefits, with a nod to Billy Sheehan, are.... Scalloped Fretboards give players a unique way to express their playing beyond a regular fretboard. The main benefits are improved note clarity and separation, less pressure on the left hand, and the possibility of achieving microtonal bends by pressing down harder. Subjectively it does help me with speed and fluency in the scalloped area.
  18. Toneriders are great pickups - particularly their P Bass pickup.
  19. Stingray Classic 4 String – Sea Foam /Mint Green(ish)– Professionally Reliced and Scalloped Frets £1499 £1399 Now £1299 plus £35 to ship Mainland UK. No Trades A Stingray Classic 4 String in a lovely sea foam / mint green (type) finish. Nice birdseye maple neck. Comes with MM hardcase. Good overall condition, a few bumps and scrapes here and there, the only thing worth of a mention in my mind is the dink on the top of the 3rd fret - see photo. The previous owner of the bass commissioned some relicing and for the upper frets on the higher strings to be scalloped like a Yamaha Billy Sheehan Attitude. Unusual, and admittedly not for everyone, but this has been done to a high standard.
  20. Limelight P Bass - £1000 £950 £900 plus £35 to ship mainland UK. No trades - need to downsize for an upcoming house move. "F" neck plate with rubber bumper, plus 1970's Big TV logo with tinted headstock face and spray over the logo. Lovely purple colour,gold anodized scratchplate. Bass is fitted with a Stellartone Tonestyler which has a 10 - position knob to give you very accurate tone changes & much more flexibility especially in the mids. Width at the nut is 38mm, weight is 4.25kg
  21. Nice but at least double the price it should be.
  22. Interesting bass, never seen one of these. Google doesnt really tell me much more either. Tempted to have a look out of curiosity but dont think its for me. Happy to facilitate a pickup and onwards shipping if it helps anyone......
