Firecreek 5 string P bass 34” scale 19mm string spacing at bridge 9mm string spacing at nut 21 frets 12” board radius Absolutely stunning flame ash body, super rare in this quality 5 piece hard rock maple neck with black accents, perfectly quarter sawn Padouk fretboard, very similar to rosewood just a bit more red Oil and wax finish on the body Spirit finish on the neck, feels so good like bare wood but protected Nordstand NP5 pickup Russian NOS PIO cap Alpha pots Plays like an absolute dream and has real quality tone and character, very fast attach on the notes and very punchy. I've giged it a little but its still in perfect condition. Any trial welcome in Worcester. Just let me know if there are any questions or if you would like more photos. I broke my wrist yesterday so I can’t record any sound clips for a few weeks! Not really looking for trades at the moment I do travel about a lot for work so I can probably deliver in person.

[quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1422112141' post='2668823'] I've used one of these a lot over the last ten years or so - really nice medium power amp. What is the thing above the footswitch socket? [/quote] I dont know! It was on there when i got it (about 4 years ago?)

Selling my pre Fender SWR 220 head £200 not really interested in any trades right now Its 220watts @ 4 ohms Dont let that put you off its a loud amp. I've played with very loud rock drummers with this and it kept up without a sweat, any louder and the whole band would have to go through the PA. This has tone to die for, real powerful punch and clarity without sounding at all sterile or harsh. The 4 band parametric EQ allows for huge variation in sound. Only 7kg without that thin class D sound. No fan and does not get hot! It's been well used and a bit taty but works perfectly, its also a really good double bass amp Its had the aural enhancer mod done to give it a flat response which really helped get rid of the scoop and help the punch.

[quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1418726533' post='2632648'] Hi Nugget, check out [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/232358-fdeck-clone-made-in-uk/page__p__2470907__hl__fdeck__fromsearch__1#entry2470907"]this thread[/url]. You can get a FDeck clone made in the UK for a very reasonable price. I have one and it works great. [/quote] Cool tip, i've just ordered one of these clones. Cant wait to try it

I know this should be in the wanted pages, just thought it might reach more DB players here I'm looking for either an Fdeck or a Headway preamp

...Bump...

[b] T-Rex Squeezer[/b] Great valve compressor, very versatile really fills out the tone as well as being a very good compressor with no loss of highs or lows Comes with box, original PSU and user manual It's been used and has velcro on the bottom, a couple of very small paint chips on the side but everything functions perfectly Only selling it as I've just got an amp with a cracking valve comp (which sounds just like this one) Not really looking for any trades except possibly a guitar multi FX unit, delay pedal or tremolo pedal Price includes postage [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/DSC07847_zps63fa13a0.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/DSC07845_zpscef5efca.jpg.html"][/url]

[quote name='Acebassmusic' timestamp='1404749314' post='2495378'] Any close up pics of the headstock? [/quote] Sorry I dont, I'm away in Devon for a couple of days I'll take some when I get home

[quote name='jazzybass' timestamp='1404652962' post='2494413'] I went to see Nugget last week as I’m saving for a deposit on a bass he’s hopefully going to make for me and had the chance to have a play on this and its fantastic, so much so I’ve changed my mind on what I want and he’s going to make me a 4 string version. It’s got so much soul and that I haven’t got from other basses, much more expressive than a regular fretless for some reason. Someone’s going to get a real bargain here. [/quote] Hi Rob Thanks, But with your talent you could play a tennis racket and it would sound great!!!! See you soon Dave

[quote name='cornelis' timestamp='1404663355' post='2494509'] hi nugget i was looking for a rob allen but this looks nice too i have a mesa boogie m2000 with the footswitches complete great amp and powerfull and some cash my mail is [email protected] cheers bart [/quote] Tempting!! Boogies are certainly high up on my wanted list. I've emailed you Dave

[quote name='reggieboomboom' timestamp='1404573878' post='2493858'] Action looks high, can it be adjusted? [/quote] It's the angle of the photo, the action is pretty low, not crazy low. Yes the action can be adjusted by filing the saddle grooves just like you would a nut

[quote name='funkydario' timestamp='1404562583' post='2493751'] Interested in a trade with a Tecamp BadBull 900 with flight case ? Amp is as new condition and in full warranty . I do live in Paris [/quote] Sorry, I'd have to hear the amp 1st as I'm not familiar with them and youre just a little to far away to pop round and try. I'm really swaying away from class D amps but the specs look very good on yours with valve pre etc Thanks for the offer Dave

[quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1404541425' post='2493533'] Scale? Any picture of the jack input and one of the fretlines?

Thanks for all the kind comments, it sounds even better than it looks In response to questions above and PM's recieved I've missed out some vital info in original posting so here goes It's 8lb 2oz, not super super light due to the ovangkol body, even though its really heavily chambered the centre block from neck to bridge is still solid. I'm kinda obsessed about keeping stiffness from neck to bridge from a design point of view. String spacing 17mm at the bridge and 9mm at the nut There are no straplock fitted but I will fit some if required before it goes. I've never even taken it to a gig so never needed them yet. It comes in a real crappy old hard case just for transport really. If no quality case is a deal breaker I'll buy a nice case for it. I do travel all over for work so I can most probably deliver in person as I'd rather do that if possible but can post if really necessary. Your wife will LOVE it, its beautiful bass, who couldnt love it (even though it is a single cut ha ha) she'll want you to hang it on the wall over the TV and only complain when you take it down to play it !!! It's not like it has ugly pickups and knobs etc spoiling the looks.......... Trades - really only as above, not looking for any more basses as I have a perfect (for me) gigging bass and a wonderful double bass Thanks for all the interest so far Dave

Firecreek Custom Telecaster Has seen a fair amount of home use but in great condition Thick flame maple top, one piece ash body, flame hard rock maple neck Dual action trussrod, Fender USA pickups, vintage style tuners and bridge Vintage gloss nitro cellulose finish on neck, clear high gloss nitro cellulose finish on body. Very comfortable mild C neck profile, medium wide dunlop frets This is plays amazingly well and sounds just like it should, any trail welcome Rather have cash but would consider trades for a cheaper guitar with trem + cash Thanks Dave [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/FF6_zps6bf05c66.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/CS2_zps4685289f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/FB_zps3f3a8acb.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/CF2_zpsb5b3e2c1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/Headstock_zps6606729b.jpg.html"][/url]

For Sale or possible trade (trade list below) Firecreek hollow body 5 string fretless bass It’s used but in very good condition, I built this specifically for an acoustic project but ended up getting a double bass and now play that instead. The playability is amazing, it’s just so tactile. For a piezo only setup it actually has a very wide range of tones, from quite bright and punchy if played near the bridge to downright pure silky smooth loveliness if played up by the fretboard 34" scale length 17mm spacing at bridge 9mm spacing at nut Set neck design Side markers and dots on top edge of fretboard AAAAA Myrtle burl-flame top Ovangkol body, hollowed out but leaving central block from neck to bridge solid for strength & stability Ovangkol fretboard Rock maple and Wenge laminated neck Matching myrtle headstock veneer Spirit finish neck so it’s protected but feels as natural as posible Piezo under saddle wired directly to socket Graphtec saddle and nut Rosewood Bridge La bella nylon tapewound strings Very thin nitro cellulose high gloss finish Included Fishman ProEQ II external preamp boxed with instructions – these are far superior to having an on-board preamp and more tonal variation available, the preamp of choice for double bass. Any Trail welcome and certainly recommended Possible trade for big heavy powerful amps eg Mesa or all valve heads +cash [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/Firecreek%20hollow%20body%205%20string%20fretless%20bass/DSCN1010_zps70f5780c.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/Firecreek%20hollow%20body%205%20string%20fretless%20bass/DSCN1013_zpsdff0050c.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/Firecreek%20hollow%20body%205%20string%20fretless%20bass/DSCN1012_zps2aba795b.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/Firecreek%20hollow%20body%205%20string%20fretless%20bass/DSCN1015_zps4f018691.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/firecreekCustom/media/Firecreek%20hollow%20body%205%20string%20fretless%20bass/DSCN1016_zps1e8d493d.jpg.html"][/url] Let me know if you would like any more photos or information Thanks Dave
