Now on eBay folks [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200206307069&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=010"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:IT&ih=010[/url]

I'm starting to wonder about selling my killer kidney bean and FBV Shortboard. I'm just not using them much these days. Not even sure what they are worth.

Well, I'm up for a ride sometime, when the weather suits. Softail Standard (2006). Could be a new topic ...Basschat Bikers Club of Great Britain ...members sought!

[quote name='artisan' post='150567' date='Mar 3 2008, 06:54 PM']i thinking of selling my J-Retro-as below (bass not included ) yes it was a G.A.S. attack-but TBH i'm a blues player really so i don't need it-i think it's only 6 months old & cost me £175.00 so i'm wanting as much as possible back, £120.00 sounds fair to me-but i'm open to offers. i can arrange postage if needed as i still have the box,fitting instructions & packaging it came with. 'tis a bargain 'tis [/quote] How weird. I've just bought a used J-retro via BC last week, and I'm in Harrogate too! It has done wonders for my jazz fretless, and £120 is a fair price. Sadly, this pre-amp does not fit my aerodyne, otherwise I'd be a customer.

And here's a pic, with many more available.

Could I tempt you in to swapping it for cash and a Line6 Lowdown 150 combo by any chance?

I got a well-worn red XB-6OO off eBay recently and am delighted with it. It needed a good bit of set-up (two truss rods) but thankfully Jim is a six-string bass player & luther, so he did a nice job (here's his link [url="http://www.guitarrepairman.co.uk/)"]http://www.guitarrepairman.co.uk/)[/url]. I reckon its a good starting point, but I can see myself wanting to upgrade to something finer eventually. For me, the Washburn's string spacing is a little to close. £275 is the right price, due to its condition.

[quote name='dougal' post='144064' date='Feb 20 2008, 10:51 PM']For sale is my East J-Retro active pre-amp. *THE BASS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE* Specs are here: [url="http://www.east-uk.com/jrhome.htm"]http://www.east-uk.com/jrhome.htm[/url] Here it is installed in my Jazz. I put some Lindy Fralin pups in her & they sound so nice passive that I'm thinking it's a waste, plus I need the cash for an upright. I've been a good Dougal and not soldered, but instead used some PC connectors (available at Maplin) so it is as good as new. I'm in Surbiton, but will post (UK domestically only) for cost (?probably about a fiver?).[/quote] Yes, I'm interested in your East pre-amp. Do you think it would be suitable to put in to my fretless Jap Jazz? The pick ups are factory fitted (in early 1980's) and have only just been re-magnetised, so I'd like to keep 'em.

[quote name='tonybassplayer' post='135336' date='Feb 6 2008, 10:05 PM']I know that this may not be the perfect place to put this but I thought it might be worth asking. I have a 12 year old absolutely mint condition, virtually never played with neither a mark or blemish on it USA Fender Stratocaster that sits in my wardrobe year after year doing nothing. It is a Fender 50th anniversary ( not to be confused with the stratocaster 50th anniversary ) model in cream with matching cream headstock which appears to be quite rare ( not sure if that adds any value ) I got round to thinking that I would be better of exchanging it rather than selling it so I thought I would put this on the forum and you just never know someone may just have a lovely Jazz or Precision that they want to move on as it is doing nothing and they are looking for a very tasty, stunning sounding perfect condition strat. Obviously if anyone is interested I will put some pics on the site Tony[/quote] Hi. I can see an outside chance of a tryst here. I sent you a PM.

Excellent combo. Built so well, and great chorus FX. The Line6 website has got all the spec. I've had it for a couple of years, and despite using it for dozens of gigs, it is in great condition. My only beef is that it's so solid it takes a bit of effort to carry. Hence I'm looking to go micro silly and light (gotta sell my Thunderbird and this first though!). I'm in no hurry to sell (It's also my practice amp at home) but will let it go for £175 on Basschat (as there's no advertising cost). I'd rather not ship it though. If you can't make it to Yorkshire, let me know where you live, as I do get about in the course of work (usually only in England) and may be able to deliver/rendezvous. Pics available in order to prove condition. Otherwise it looks the same as on the manufacturer's website!
