    The thing with shop prices is also that consumers have rights, even on second hand gear, and can bring stuff back and complain. I would feel safer buying from a shop I can take a faulty item back to than buying from a private individual on eBay or wherever, that has value in the pricing too. But generally at the moment prices to sell gear at are terrible. It is difficult to shift stuff without taking a hit and has been for quite some time. Also, you get the idiots who expect something for nothing, making offers at way, way under the asking price or buying something to only complain. I had the misfortune of two of these cretins at the same time on eBay, one trying to claim that a screw missing off the battery compartment of a pedal was a massive, massive issue, and the other trying to claim that the speaker of an amp had been disconnected through rough handling and improper packing. Both were just trying to screw a load of their money back from me. Not worth the aggro.

    The price is certainly ambitious!

    I waited yonks to get my hands on one, think I ordered it from Bax in the end. It was worth it for the snug fit. I think Thomann had an own brand one that would probably fit too.

    I was thinking about getting an OLP and having it made fretless.... I really cannot justify it at all now, sadly.

    Stop it!

    Those photos really don't look real to me at all. The acoustic guitar appears to be bent, it's exactly the same picture of the orange idiot reused in both images. And anyone stupid enough to buy one would not have access to $10k+

    It's now got LaBella deep talkin flats on it and it sounds fantastic. A really pleasant old school bass sound, great with a hint of reverb and valve warmth. And the colour and overall styling is superb. There's just something about jazz basses that really works for me.

    I feel an opposition party is necessary!

    Sensible offers considered.

    I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread again..... I'm trying to get rid of gear but someone mentioned the glow on the front panel and I got all nostalgic for a second.

    Yup! Get the Harley Benton "Jaco" style jazz, it's very cheap but excellent! Ok, it's not a US Fender but it is a very good quality fretless. Mine gets gigs regularly. Or, trawl eBay for a fretless neck. Or if you really want to do a de-fret yourself I'm sure you will find plenty of cheap necks secondhand. Luckily your bass should have a fairly standard and common sized neck pocket so no issues there.

    Received with a bass I purchased. Looks good as new. What makes this a bit different to those you can get online is that the ones available online will take almost any bass at an angle. This is fitted so a LEFT HANDED Fender jazz or precision fits in snug. You could put a righty in but it would have to go face down. Great case, as new condition. £100 collected.

    Available to fill a spot if your bassist is sick/ away/ fired. Send me questions and will answer honestly whether I can cover it or not. Experience in rock and blues covers as well as more modern stuff, 80s pop, quite a broad range.

    A birthday gift many years ago... I think I listened to it once. 5x CDs, massive book, lyrics book. Mint condition. There's some on eBay for crazy money, £55 cheapest, £199 most ambitious. I'd rather be realistic. Postage £5 or collect for free

    ACS Custom moulded earplugs are excellent. I think you also get a small bass chat discount

    Our singer/ guitarist only owns one electric guitar so he has no backup. Lead guitarist sometimes brings a spare but not often. We have had a few occasions where the singer breaks a string, borrows lead guitarists instrument, we improv a song me and the drummer have never played before while the lead guitarist sits out changing the broken string. It's stressful.

    I've still got most of the same picks I bought when I started bass 26 years ago. I have gone years barely using a pick to getting comfortable and feeling the need for it in the last two years. But I can't get excited about buying picks. Or jack cables. Or gig bags.

    Four button footswitch that I've been using with my ABM600 head. Probably haven't used this in the last year and mounting costs at home make this reluctantly up for sale. It pretty much does what it says on the box. Connect it to your amp using an ordinary jack lead. Great for those times when you don't want effects but need some dynamic changes. Collection preferred. I don't think I have the original box still, if I do I'll include it.

    £65 posted for a quick sale to a BC Member? A bit of an impulse purchase. Costs at home mounting mean I need to sell off some gear. Not had it long but really impressed with this little box. Comes with UK power supply. Excellent synth sounds. That seems to be it's sweet spot. Realistically I'm not going to use it anywhere near as much as my brand new ME-90B so it has to go on the list for sale, reluctantly. Collection preferred but posting possible. PM me with any queries.

    £250 for a quick sale to a BC Member? Very reluctant sale due to mounting costs at home... So, I have not had this amp long but it was something I lusted after as a teenager so had to take the plunge when it came up for sale. This is a truly fantastic head unit, in great condition for its age, and has had a service paid for by myself. In the service I had the valve tested, compressor looked at and all the dust cleaned out of it. Highlights: 200 Watts output. 90's Marshall Watts, not your class D stuff. Blendable pre amp from all solid state to all valve. I think of this of going from "clank" to "whomph". This is the secret weapon on these amps. Really flexible 7 band graphic EQ and Lo and Hi Rotary's AND deep and bright switch. Onboard compressor Pre or post DI A fantastic amp that I have used on gigs. The condition is excellent for its age. Volume, tone, heft, even through modern, lightweight cabs. I will throw in a speaker cable and a mains lead. Collection much preferred. PM me with an queries.
