  1. Lovely Stingray for sale. recently got this in a trade deal with the intention of keeping it but I now have GAS for another bass so sadly I will have to let this one go.
    Priced at £1600 plus shipping.

    Stunning natural body with maple neck.
    Neck - 19th Apr 77
    Body - 21st Apr 77
    Pots - 35th and 46th week 76
    Extra routing in pickup cavity for longer pole pieces
    Black epoxy preamp
    String mutes
    Weight - 10lbs approx
    Overall very good original condition with various small dings as to be expected for a 37 year old bass also comes with original hard case.

    Really only looking for a cash sale but may consider:

    Thanks for looking

  2. Up for sale my lovely Ken Smith 2010 model, absolutely immaculate condition comes with Smith hard case and case candy.

  3. *Amp now sold*
    £400 for the svt 810

    Hi, up for sale is my Ampeg SVT 810 and SVT2 Pro rig I bought from Derek when I was in a Simple Minds tribute band.
    I'm no longer in the band and sadly its a bit overkill for the three piece I'm in now as we don't require any backline.
    The Ampeg was only used for one gig and only a handful of rehersals.
    Sound wise, typical ampeg power,punch,clarity and with the ability to project and fill a room.
    Tried this with a precision and wal, both sounded amazing.
    There are also a couple of tatty but functional flight cases that came with it which I'll throw in.
    The amp was serviced prior to me buying it and the cab dates to the late 70's.

    Cheers Stuart
    A wee note from Derek regarding the rig :

    To whom it may concern...

    I, Derek Forbes, original bass player of Simple Minds, owned this Ampeg bass rig. The 8 x 10 cabinet was with me for most of my time with Simple Minds, and has travelled all around the World with me, and has played most of the Worlds most famous stages, including Liverpool Empire, Hammersmith Odeon, Madison Square Gardens,Red Rocks Colorado..etc etc etc...
    The amp was with me for my second term with Simple Minds in the mid to late 90's...Give them a good home, as they are a part of my Rock and Roll Legacy...I sold the rig to Stuart Binnie, bass player
    extraordinare, and hope, if you buy it, you have as much joy, and luck, that I myself enjoyed...

    yours sincerely

    Derek Forbes

  4. Big thanks to Perry for taking the time to help me with a problem I was having with my Smith bass.
    I was at the point where I was seriously thinking about selling this bass after only having it for a few months.
    Perry knew exactly what i was looking for sound wise and pointed me in the right direction
    Top man who knows his Smiths
    Cheers matey
