    SOLD - Bass Collection 'Bespoke Built' P-Bass

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    Pete is indeed BM's tech, but Chris Ward also does work for BM as House Music (who own the Bass Collection brand) are the manufacturing company for Brian May Guitars. When I picked up my Fender after Chris had worked his magic, Chris was in the workshop restringing a 12 string acoustic belonging to BM.

    The weight of the bass is around 4.5 KG

    [b]PRICE DROP TO £295 - £260 for cash on collection. [/b]Really need to invest in the next amp and this will fund it. Still open to a trade for the right kind of compact but powerful amp.

    [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Only selling because I don't need so many instruments! This is a one-of-a-kind bass, specially constructed for me by Barry Moorhouse of The Bass Centre.[/color][/font][/size]

    [color=#000000][font=-webkit-standard][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Unashamed '70's vibe, this has the following spec:[/font][/size][/font][/color]

    [color=#000000][font=-webkit-standard][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]It is no exaggeration to say this plays as well/better than my USA-made Fender deluxe precision bass (which cost over £1500!!).[/font][/size][/font][/color]

    [color=#000000][font=-webkit-standard][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The icing on the cake is that this was built and set up by Barry's tame guitar tech Chris Ward, who is the bass/guitar tech for Brian May of Queen, Norman Watt-Roy (of Blockheads fame) and many other luminaries, including the personal tech support of the late, great John Entwistle of The Who. It is no word of a lie when I say it shows - it really is a beautifully set up instrument that plays sooooo well. I was so impressed that I asked Chris to do a full set up on my Fender which instantly propelled it into a different league from its shop setup.[/font][/size][/font][/color]

    [color=#000000][font=-webkit-standard][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Complete with a fitted Bass Centre gig bag and a premium Bass Centre strap.[/font][/size][/font][/color]

    [color=#000000][font=-webkit-standard][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]You really will not go wrong with this lovely instrument [/font][/size][/font][/color]

    SOLD - please lock listing FS/FT Purple Chili 115NT cab

    I can't believe this cab is still here. It was a custom build for me by Mike at Purple Chili. I only sold it because I got the EAD 212. It's very light, loaded with an Eminence neo Basslite and is very musical. The band I was gigging with at the time hated my Ampeg 610 and loved this. I left the SVT Pro II at home and gigged this with a GK MB200, super light and super tuneful.

    Thanks Sean, its is a lovely sounding cab and I'm on that cusp of keeping it, but really need to downsize, and whilst its not a huge cabinet, its bigger than the domestic authorities are happy with, now the band keep their kit at home.

    Really gutted I am not going to get here. Just having to deal with a puncture, and because I have one if these stupid roadside repair kits rather than a proper spare tyre, I'm going to have to abandon my journey and head for a tyre fitting place. Was looking forward to meeting you all in the flesh too!
    Grrrrrr.
