  1. Up for sale is my practically new Brubaker Brute Single cut. I am selling/trading/Part exchanging because I require a 4 string passive bass for stoner rock (Like an old Guild or Jap bass something like that!) 5/6 string bass or a guitar. I would love to straight trade for a Brubaker Brute 5 string singlecut! The only requirement I have on trade instruments is that the action be very low and have enough intonation range to incorporate downtuning. I am still sort of on the fence whether I like the singlecut design itself. What sold it to me was playability and sound. Pound for pound it played like the Shuker Melt singlecut that I owned very briefly. Compound radius neck really does feel good! Action is very low, much like the shuker, though obviously the fit and finish is not that of a £3000 bass. The frets are beautiful! Tonally it is like a very hot Musicman, aggressive two band pre-amp, the treble control is incredibly responsive. I dont really know how to describe this well, but you have to put in very little effort to get a big sound out of it. Whereas some basses (Mainly low output jazz's and precisions) you have to really whack it hard. It is incredibly lightweight and balances well. It is a very deep bolt on neck with no heel. Neck feels very neutral, does not taper as much as a jazz, probably more like a thinner precision neck. I would rate it over the Musicman USA SUBS I have had any day. If I were to say a bad thing about it, I am not hugely keen on the Jazz pup on it's own, I would have put it closer towards the MM pickup. With both pickups together it sounds very hi-fi and Zender like. The jazz pup on its own? Fairly vintage. Pretty sure it's the first Brute Singlecut sold in this country, and even possibly the first or second 4 string one sold in the world. It was unveiled in December 2012 and this actual bass was displayed at Winter Namm 2013 and at the London Bass guitar show. It comes with a "luxury" semi hard case. I may withdrawn this at any time because it is a fantastic bass. Pickup is much preferred from London. Otherwise I will post at the buyers expense. Reduced to just £320, no haggling please. Rob.
  2. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1362334597' post='1998544'] Ask your wife not to damage it too much as she beats you to death with it..JOOI what type of case will it come in if you bequeath it to me?? [/quote] A semi hard case... Real nice case actually!
  3. Here it is! Brubaker Brute MJXSC4. The new Singlecut import. Lovely electronics and fit and finish overall. The action is pretty damn low, though might have to shim it to get any noticeably lower. The MM pup really sings in this. An excellent Musicman alternative. The hardware is rock solid. Either way its a nice entry into the Singlecut world, will I keep it? Who knows! Tom Richards (Who was the guy selling them on the Bassdirect stand) Was a lovely chap and I hope he enjoyed his stay in blighty! The neck join is a real deep bolt on. Very interesting. This could be one of the first Brute SC's sold in the UK though I would have to get confirmation from Tom about that. R
  4. Erk. A bass followed me out of the show today. Mrs will kill me!
  5. Pmed, you must put a price on any advert. Please do this ASAP or I will pull the ad.
  6. [quote name='AduneMoon' timestamp='1361543293' post='1987268'] Ha read it again, think it says Warwick pro series corvette 5 string ? or something similar. [/quote] Why dont you read the sellers guidelines which you should be doing before posting anything? They are the top of the forum. http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=rules&f=19 [quote][font=Arial]5. You must state a price for your item.

  7. Pretty tatty, but hey it's Trace! [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/trace-elliott-bass-cab/1009731426"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/trace-elliott-bass-cab/1009731426[/url] I would have it if I could pickup. R

  9. Hmm.. maybe next week, we'll see if i need it!
  10. Hey guys. Tried Email support with no luck. Does anyone use or know how long Pyramid roundwounds are from the ball end til it starts unwinding near the nut? I have a bass that is 34 1/2 scale and is string thru. This is the only Drop C set I can find without having to order custom from outside the EU. It needs to be at least 37 and a quarter inches long from the ball end til it starts unwinding at the nut end. Yes I can get super long scale strings, but not in drop C gauges. Cheers! Rob.
  11. Good one I have seen go for £600. I actually prefer the B301 myself. Single pickup, better looking pickguard shape.
  12. [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1358506478' post='1940358'] Successful? [/quote] Didnt go for it in the end. I didnt want to run the risk of truss rod problems and a potentially useless bass is not worth £320 for me! Would rather save up the extra 200-300 and get one in decent working order.

  14. [quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1358452658' post='1939578'] Absolutely. As long as it aint twisted and there is still a truss rod in it. [/quote] Presumably a washer over truss nut job right? Otherwise how much do you charge to replace the rod Jon?
  15. [quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1358452277' post='1939567'] What does he mean by not straight though? Relief or twist? [/quote] He claims to not know anything about guitars, he couldnt tell me. Either way would be fairly bad anyway right? EDIT: Just had a message, he says its bowed and the action is fairly high after the 12th fret. fixable?
  16. Hmm just had this message back from him. [quote][color=#000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=2]Hi, I'm based at Livingston studios in wood green N22 6TR. I'm sorry I have no time to take any more shots as I am working. If you are not 100%, I would recommend not bidding. The bass is not in perfect shape and I expected it to sell cheap. The neck is not straight but the pickups sound incredible. My bests, Mike[/size][/font][/color][/quote] [size=4][color=#000000][font=arial,sans-serif]Now he mentions the neck is not straight. [/font][/color][/size]Might have put me off a bit.
  17. Ok, need to shift it. £230 picked up in London. Cheers! r
  18. Well I joined a Stoner rock band, the grabber is great and all but very difficult to buy strings for. The extra scale length and string thru bridge and tuning to Drop C limits my options, this should solve it
  19. Ahh to be honest I will likely keep it as is! I need a real beater!
  20. Already on this a few days ago and its close to me for pickup Outta the way everyone! I have put a fairly high bid on it.
  21. [quote name='Ant' timestamp='1358110637' post='1933382'] I really want one of these, had any cut outs at gig volume? Fancy some sort of partial trade for my orange bass terror [/quote] Nope, never had any issues live or at home. It is sound. Really depends how much money my way, I am mostly after the money as there is something on Ebay I have my eye on.
  22. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1358020709' post='1932063'] These the same jobs that Om use currently? [/quote] If I said yes, would it make a difference?
