  1. Now sold.
  2. Bump
  3. [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Selling my 2014 ('120th Anniversary' inlay) Gibson SGJ. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Mahogany body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard. 61 zebra humbuckers. [/size][/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Includes Gibson gig bag. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Good condition, these mark (relic?) really easily with the satin finish, so you can probably see a couple of fine marks in the photos, but it's never been gigged, I just bought it to play at home, so nothing major. Plays and sounds great. No postage as I have no hard case for it, so collection or meet up preferred. [/size][/font][/color]
  4. Hipshot BT1 detuner. Used, but good condition and I still have the packaging. There's one screw missing, but I used the ones that were on the bass already. £45 posted (within the UK).
  5. [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#1D2129]Good as new Zoom B9.1UT multi effects pedal. I barely used this, only a handful of gigs, it's a great pedal, does everything, but as I only ever use a bit of overdrive and an octaver it's overkill for my needs so I'm going to get something smaller. Also includes a Gator gig bag, and original power lead. I'd rather not post it due to weight and I haven't got the box anymore, so collection or meetup preferred.

  6. I'm selling my Sandberg Electra VS4. Sandberg's 'parts made in Korea, assembled in Germany' take on the MIM Precision, and it's definitely better quality than the two MIM Fenders I've had in the past. Sounds great, can be active or passive with a push/pull volume control. I've had a Hipshot detuner on it (for sale separately), and there's a slight mark on the back of the headstock where it's been (barely in shot in the last photo sorry!) but other than that it's a good as new. Despite the satin finish I don't think there's a mark on it. I've only gigged it a handful of times since everyone in the band seemed to be starting families just after I bought it, so it only gets used a couple of times a year now. No case or gig bag with these, so collection/meet up preferred please.

  7. Pawner - Polar Bear Club. Perfect guitar tone, great chord sequence.
  8. I had one of the very first Dirnt basses, and it didn't have a star on the neck plate so I wouldn't worry about that. But it was heavy. This one looks like it fell down the stairs!
  9. Thanks, but while that's along similar lines, I don't need anywhere near that kind of volume, and ideally it would be much smaller.
  10. Since picking up a Harley Benton ukulele bass I've been accompanying my father-in-law to the local ukulele club. I've been amplifying myself with a Bose Soundlink, but it's too quiet without a preamp before it, and i'm not keen on leaving £250 worth of speaker on a table with 8 pint glasses and folders of lyrics being thrown around, so I need an alternative. Battery powered isn't essential, but would be useful. I can't afford the Yamaha THR10 which would be my first choice, and the Microcube is almost as expensive, and is probably a bit bulky anyway. I don't need it to be loud, I want to be quieter than the ukuleles, I just want to hear myself and not worry about it taking up space or being kicked if I put it under the table or have a drink spilt on it. There seem to be plenty of options for guitar, Vox AC1, Orange Crush, etc, but what's good, inexpensive and small, for bass?
  11. It arrived! Double boxed and well packaged. Opened it up and it was smaller than I was expecting. I've played a Kala and I've played the Tanglewood, my memory of the Tanglewood is hazy but I'm sure it's somewhere between the two. A couple of the frets are sharp and the finish is rough in places, but for £99 I have no complaints. The tuner works fine and the EQ has a decent range but full bass sounds best. I'll need to get used to careful finger placement, slightly over a fret and there's a nasty buzz, but correct placement gives a nice warm, deep sound. It's not loud enough for acoustic accompaniment but it's loud enough for solo acoustic practice. Very happy with it!
  12. I ordered the Kahuna bass last night, looking forward to seeing it. It looks very similar to the Tanglewood version, I played one od those at the Birmingham Guitar Show, was tempted then, but these are half the price. Not sure if I'll play it live or if it will be a novelty thing, but it will be useful for quiet late night practice anyway.
  13. Sold! Thanks to vmaxblues for putting the buyer in touch.
  14. We're exchanging contracts tomrrow, so, price drop, £200.
  15. Due to impending house sale, solicitors fees and lack of time to play and space to keep it, I've decided to sell my EUB. It's black, so any pictures I take don't really show any detail, but it's as good as new, barely played, and comes with gig bag. Great to play, a good beginners instrument, I've enjoyed learning on it and I'll definitely buy another once the new house renovation is finished (still no room for an acoustic upright!). Here's the original description with pics: http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_eub_500_bk_electric_upright.htm Collection only, not far from M6 jct 9 or M5 jct 1.
  16. I didn't. A full time job just helps fund better gear!
  17. I've set up a patch on my Zoom B9. Marshall Superbass with 80% gain, mix at 30%, so there's plenty of the original tone. Then Mono Pitch at 12 (octave up), mix at 50. This gives the effect of an overdriven guitar underneath the bass. One string, admittedly, but it fills out the sound nicely when it drops out for the solo. Sounds better than my old Unibass too, tracks better and the distortion isn't so harsh.
  18. I've had mine for a few months now and it only has one issue - the machine heads are not all the same distance apart. Which isn't a problem in the slightest, until you try to install Hipshot detuner. It went on, but with a bit of force to get it in the hole and up against the A tuner. Besides that the build and finish are perfect, so no complaints from me, definitely better than the last two Mex Fenders I've owned which had bridge, fret and electronic issues.
  19. Delete please, the B3 doesn't have an aux in so I'll stick with my B9!
  20. There's always the Sandberg Electra TT4 at £549, better quality than the last few Mex Fenders I tried. http://www.thomann.de/gb/sandberg_electra_tt4_cr.htm
  21. I've only played a couple of gigs with it due to two quiet bands thanks to family, house moves etc, but love playing it. Great tone, nice neck, fairly light weight, don't need anything else!
  22. I found one teacher advertising online, but they're classical only and not really affordable (not that style will mean anything at this stage, but I'd like someone open to other styles too). I've started playing along to a few songs. I think my biggest issues at the moment on thumb placement on the back of the neck, causing the space between my first two fingers to decrease as I move around the neck, and holding the bass, the angle I often find myself at, with the bass facing away from me rather than slightly towards me, makes it difficult to play the G string well with my right hand. Plenty more practising to do, enjoying it so far though!
  23. So my Harley Benton EUB500 arrived over the weekend. I played what I could on it, and liked the tone, except for the ringing bridge and buzzing when playing around this e E on the A string. Last night I raised the action, and put a rubber pad under the pickup, then again on top, and added some more bow to the neck with the truss rod. I preferred the tone before! So maybe I'll remove one layer. The buzzing isn't gone, but it's better. So what next? I can play a basic bit of 12 bar and some root-fifth stuff, but all around G or A. What are the best resources for learning? I've started watching Geoff's videos and search online for a teacher in the West Midlands but couldn't find anyone!
  24. On Sky Arts 1 again right now
  25. Well, I've ordered the HB! None in stock so could be a short while before it arrives. Putting seats down in the car doesn't bother me, I couldn't fit bass cases in the boot of my estate and I only have a three door now so back seat isn't an option either! Looking forward to learning to play now!
