  1. *^^NOW SOLD - please archive*** Here is my beast of a Bongo. Yes, they divide opinion, but when I played it I couldn't resist! I now realise that I can't justify such a quality instrument for one song in the set so it has to go! It's been played as you can see from the pics - there are little dings but obviously nothing that affects sound or playability. However, you're getting a lot of US made instrument for the money. Massively powerful and versatile 18v 4-band eq, immaculate rosewood neck with no fretwear at all, original MM case WITH KEY!!! 😀 and EBMM strap locks. She was strung with Elixirs LAST WEEK which I'm annoyed about, but there you go. Plus you won't be paranoid about dinging her as it's already been done for you - win win!! I'm happy to consider trades for less expensive 5ers with cash my way, but ideally prefer to sell. I have awesome feedback if you want to check me out so no need to worry. I live in Chesterfield, Derbyshire and I'd be happy to meet halfway within reason (socially distanced of course). Any questions - just ask! Sam
  2. All tested - works perfectly. I've added a pic of the LED in all it's glory! 😀
  3. Hello everyone! I'm moving on my immaculate Mesa Subway D-800. It's a monumental powerhouse of a head, and I've never had it turned up past a third of the way. This thing is LOUD! Anyway, you knew that otherwise you wouldn't have gotten this far. Comes with lead, gig bag, and original box. I've bought and sold lots on Basschat so no worries there - have a look at my feedback if you need reassuring. £600 plus UK fully insured courier at £40, or just come and pick it up from me in beautiful Derbyshire. We might have to pretend we're exercising though. Here's a link with all the blurb.... https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/151110290619003--mesa-boogie-subway-d-800-compact-bass-head?gclid=Cj0KCQjw_ez2BRCyARIsAJfg-ktyF94UsY5JWQOS-VNowkXNanBCurvTEl-Ww1_Dz6fyaIw4ZER81xUaAooUEALw_wcB Thanks! Sam
  4. Have a look at the build diary Owen - it's pretty special 😀.
  5. Hi! I'm hoping someone will help me out. I have a custom made P-bass with a single Bart MM 'bucker in the sweet-spot. At the moment it's just wired in passive, but I'm not getting the tone I love in my 'Ray or Bongo. The bass was routed future-proof to accommodate a John East preamp, and I'm thinking about the 2-band MMSR option to keep things as simple as possible. Does anyone have any experience of this preamp? What can I expect from it? Thanks! Sam

  7. So today’s the day I pick her up!! Beyond excited!!
  8. I live in Chesterfield - you should see the lasses 😲
  9. Don't knock it till you've tried it! 😁
  10. It was his first flake job!! Impressive!
  11. I know - that was the idea! Yes Bruce's attention to detail is monumental. I think he does that to add a little extra mass to the headstock and still get the tuners to fit through.
  12. So it's kind of turned into a photo-diary! As you can see, Bruce approaches design from an engineer's point of view, as well as a bass player and luthier. His method of fitting the frets is incredible - and his bull-nose fret ends are beautiful!
  13. ******NOW SOLD******* Utterly as new - barely used and never even left the house. £150 + p&p (at cost) Cheers! Sam
  14. This bass is simply brilliant. 1987 vintage, made in Japan for the Japanese market. Never released in Europe. Active electronics, twin 'buckers. Fitted with Elixir 45-105's. Fantastic action, lovely neck and great zingy tone. Weighs in at just over 8lbs. Comfy! Obviously she has accumulated a few dings over the last 30 odd years, but the neck is immaculate. Negligible fret wear. Skull position transfers are easily removed but why not be a pirate? Arrr! Cheers me hearties! Sam *Oh yeah, if you can't make it to Chesterfield I'm happy to courier this bass to you for whatever it costs me
  15. Thanks Japanaxe, but I’m way further down the line than that 😃
  16. ...which was tested for size in a dummy rout. As I've come to expect from Bruce, it's an exact fit. Woodscrews? Not today my good man - hex bolts into brass inserts. Nice!
  17. Hardware and pickups arrive. All the metal stuff is Hipshot. Pickup is a Bartolini MM 'bucker.
