  1. Some close ups as requested.
  2. Just picked this up, thanks I havent really pushed it to be honest but will give that a try
  3. Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. A Beautiful bass bought from here in 24, with a great sound, which I am just not using much. It is the real deal with gorgeous looks and construction in my honest opinion. Someone out there will love it. It is also loud enough to practice with without an amp IMHO! Happy to post as it comes with a generic hard case that fits archtop basses "The Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollow Body Short Scale bass guitar has a comfortably short scale at 30.25", and is armed with two powerful "Black Top" Filter'Tron™ bass pickups, giving it an electrifying deep-end voice and identity. The double-cutaway hollow and bound body offers full bass tone and balance, and is finished in Transparent Red." Note: I have been asked about neck dive, just in case you are worried about that this is my answer. "I can't say that it has bothered me,. Being an true hollow body/archtop It is very light and hangs horizontally, but it feels normal to rest my right arm on the body, which pushes the neck upwards to a comfortable, natural playing position. It also feels good sitting down. I imagine that the longer scale Gretsch hollows may have serious neck dive". G5442BDC Spec sheet.pdf

  4. Well spotted, thanks now correct
  5. Hi, using my trusty scales, it weighs in at 4.2 KG, which rounds up to 9.3lbs Not sure but it has Bart pickups, which is the same as the later models e.g. SR5005. I would guess late?
  6. Very nice, what make is the Batwing?
  7. The original post was back at the start of June. The Guild deal mentioned fell though, as it had unresolved issues, so no pictures. I have played the rest quite a bit. The Spectorcore is the newest, and is my backup so travels around the country with me. Point taken though as I haven't had the time to enjoy them as I should.
  8. Lets face itr we need them all! I would love to keep em all + a Rivoli. I love the mudbuckers subby sounds solo but not so much in my band mix, I feel I can get a more "friendly" and similar sound from my LB100, which is my goto for recording. The Gretsch has a big round sound for a small bass, and I could certainly live with that as an allrounder. The Lakland wasn;t planned, I got it in a trade. I have used it twice. Each time got several questions and complements so plan to keep that one, unless nothing else sells.
  9. Aheads up that Supro and gretsch are now up for sale
  10. A compact stomp box in great condition, with case and instructions. I like this particular pedal as it is nice and stable and doesn't slide around. Great for open mics and songwriting.

  11. A good usable mixing desk for small bands. Bought used and comes with a power supply Can collect or will post at cost The blurb The Yamaha MG102c 10-channel compact mixer puts big-mixer quality into a handy and affordable small format! Many real-world mixing applications only involve a few channels, so a small mixer is the obvious choice. But no matter how simple the setup, you'll always want first-rate audio quality and processing capability. The MG102c is ideal for live sound applications, offering excellent sound quality, flexibility, and ease-of-use, along with some advanced features you normally wouldn't find in this type of compact mixer. So whether you need a compact main mixer, or a secondary utility mixer for a larger application, the MG102c is a great choice. It features great sounding low noise mic pre’s with phantom power, and very musical 3 band EQ, plus stereo inputs, Aux send/return and LED bargraph metering. This unit is in perfect condition, fully operational, with PSU and original packaging. Only used in a smoke free, private studio, never gigged. The Yamaha MG102C is a very lightweight compact mixer with simple controls. The Yamaha MG102C features four mic/line channels (two with compression) and two stereo line channels, one auxiliary send, and basic channel EQ.
  12. Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. This one is a cracker and was bought as my "forever" bass-sigh!. Although a short scale it it is a bit of a bulldog, by that I mean that it is solid and the chunky. It is also versatile bass with loads of punch and this one has the "premium" flame top. Lots of top players love these and as a result they are pretty rare beasts. I managed to find a Supro soft case that fits it, which is included. The pictures are from when I bought it from Bass Direct but it is exactly the same as it has only rarely been played and has never left my house! Here some blurb! The Supro Huntington I Bass is a superb short-scale bass from this legendary New York guitar and amp manufacturer. With an outstanding level of build quality, this bass will appeal to a wide range of players. It comes equipped with a single vintage Gold Foil pickup, plus a piezo pickup integrated into the High Mass bridge, giving it a huge array of tones. It is also extremely comfortable to play, thanks to its 30” scale and ergonomic neck join. Now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store. Every instrument we sell goes through a rigorous check-over and professional set-up prior to shipment, ensuring you receive the very best possible example. We ship fast to the UK, Europe and beyond. The Supro 2041 Huntington 1 is a newly-designed, short-scale bass combining the classic body shape of the early ‘60s Ozark model with vintage-correct passive electronics and sonic inspiration from the Supro Pocket Bass of the same era. The unique Gold Foil pickup found in the Huntington I bass is an authentic replicas of the original “Clear-Tone” pickups found in the vintage Supro Violin, Taurus and Pocket Bass models. This high-output single coil delivers legendary, deep low-end, with very low noise and a massive, broadband sound that stays warm and balanced across the entire range of the instrument. The Supro Huntington 1 in Natural Mahogany also features a piezo pickup, built into the high mass bridge. This adds an acoustic bass sound via a toggle switch. When the piezo pickup is activated, the tone knob functions as a blender, allowing the player to mix in the acoustic sound to taste. The Huntington’s maple neck has a smooth, black satin finish and 30” short-scale length, with a glued in, set-neck joint that provides ergonomic access to the entire Pau Ferro fretboard. The set neck design, premium woods and high-end hardware along with the unique, vintage correct Supro pickups make the Huntington both a world-class recording bass and gigging workhorse instrument that is incredibly easy to play; especially for musicians accustomed to the shorter neck of a 6-string guitar. Although its scale is short, the sound of the Huntington bass is astoundingly large—boasting a tight, confident, buttery low end, articulate midrange and crisp highs.
  13. Note: Impending retirement means it's time to de-clutter my life, starting with some of my beloved basses. This is a "classy" instrument and real workhorse. It has been well used in the past, so has numerous small marks (Check photos nothing nasty) and has had the stacking knobs replaced prior to my ownership. Outstanding features are the outstanding playability and sound, as it is very versatile and have loads of punch. Very cool and understated IMHO. Fully functional and plays like a dream! Comes with a functional soft case. Open to offers but not trades. "The SR3005 is a five string Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 1999. It was produced in Japan by FujiGen as part of the upscale Prestige line. The SR3005 features a double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a SR5 wenge an bubinga neck with a 24-fret wenge fingerboard with abalone oval position markers and a matching headstock. Components include a Mono Rail bridge with 16.5mm string spacing, a pair of IBZ sfr-m humbucker pickup's channeled through a Vari-Mid 3LC 3-Band, a plastic nut, cosmo black hardware and Gotoh 510 tuning machines."
  14. Supro Huntington I with Piezo. Stonking basses, incredibly versatile and powerful beast for a short scale passive bass. I bought it used in 2020 but since then have mainly been using detuned 35" 5 stringers, hence the Spectorcore (35") above as my spare. The result is that the supro hasn't left the house since I bought it.
  15. So an update a few months on. I have decided which I am keeping, simply because I'll keep the ones I'm using. I've use the Lakland live with a band called Thermions, for semi acoustic sets. It is solidly built, sounds great and looks great. The Gretsch is lovely in every way, but I haven't used it other than at home so I have decided to move it on. Note: I don't use my short scales so they will have to go, lovely though they are (I also have a supro) The Spectorcore is my Hellcats back up, It has been used for a gig and for rehearsals. Its nice and light and sounds great so its a keeper My peerless, I have already invested in and it looks cool. It's my 4 string "rock bass" and used for live informal work
  16. Great basses these! Very musical electronics with plenty of oomph!
  17. Lots to like for not much money. GLWTS
  18. It will be interesting to try the fretted version. Based on my past experience with an Esh, with a similar system it should cope with everything I throw at it but we'll see. I just love experimenting.
  19. Thanks, sound advice (excuse the pun) and its good to know I'm not alone. No more peeking at other basses for me for a while, well maybe a quick peek before I sleep!😂 Note: I'll know how the Spectorcore works by next weekend, maybe I try try a comparison
  20. Years ago I bought a crafter acoustic bass learned the hard way that "acoustic basses can be feedback monsters", so gave them a wide birth for years. That was until 2019, when I got my beloved semi-hollow Peerless Cassidy bass. Then a couple of months back I scored a smart, Gretsch short scale, which I noodle with and play at work when I'm learning stuff. All well and good but things have now got out of control. My aim was to sell but Instead of selling I traded my jazz for a Lakland hollow Body bass. I bought a Dearmond Starfire bass locally about 2 weeks ago, which is currently getting its electrics sorted, and now I bought a Spectocore fretted 5 as my spare for gigging. My head hurts! I consider myself lucky but maybe I'm just going nuts! 1. I can't keep em all, which do I keep? 2. Where an I going to store them even?? 3. Will the Spectorcore be good for rock and metal 😂? 4. Am I insane?? No need to answer the last one!
  21. I'm sure they are fine for storage and occasional use but in light of your comment I'm glad I looked elsewhere
  22. Got a used Blake Bravo on the way thanks!
