I despise the Blues Brothers' 'Everybody wants somebody'. Not so much because of the song but due to its amazing power to cause a headlong rush to the dance floor from lagered-up lads (who normally prefer to booze rather than dance), knocking everyone aside, leaving a trail of death and destruction and lots of bro-hugging.

Similarly, I think Master Effects are either direct shipping from Canada or via Reverb. See here https://reverb.com/uk/item/31003520-master-effects-super-three-hundred-svt-in-a-box-with-1-4-balanced-output

My 66 has a hootenanny strap button but it’s missing so now there’s just a hole. Anyone know where to get one, I think they’re a bit different to a regular strap button and the screw must be different too? 

Maybe contact Mark from Limelight? He puts aged hootenanny buttons on his vintage repro Fender-alikes

Drop to £225 posted

Couple of old pics of the bass from Wilcock IG page. Shows the fabulous colour off nicely. GLWYS!

I am known by my main band, with which I usually get to gig about 3-4x per year (wish it was much more), for the exact opposite, ie, pitching up with a new/different bass every time (because: BassChat). 

Paging Dave @dmccombe7

Bought a nice pedal from Rich. All tip top and all that! Many thanks 😀

Swiss army pen knife of a pedal. Not left home and less than a couple of hours use. Prefer individual pedals, hence sale. Comes with box, PSU etc. Cheapest new price is £342 at Hot Rox. £240 posted sound fair?

Edit: no idea why photos inserted upside down!

Dunno if anyone likes the band Idles but they are currently rocking not one but two Serek Lincolns

Great quote from The Independent, in an otherwise OTT pathetic trashing of GnR (I mean, criticising the angle Slash holds his guitar as "priapic" ...)

"[Rose' voice is] a creature that, were you to take it to a vet, would come home in a cardboard box."

Successful tactic with Wals over last 3 years!

Damn is that Duff, thought it was you Clarky 👍

I'm the bargain Duff, a 2-for-1 weight offer

For 59 (same age as me), Duff looks in great shape and is playing well. Slash, while sporting a few more chins than when I last saw him (people in glasshouses ...!), is on form too. Shame about Axl Rose, his voice is totally shot

Lovely. If only it said Shrek on the headstock...

Love the look of this thing,sad it’s only 400 watts though. If it was 800 I would’ve taken it.

Not heard of Hand box 

These are plenty loud for gigs. Ask @wateroftyne

Oh and here's a 43 page thread on Handbox amps (short version: high quality, hand made amps with valve front end, such as R400, or all-valve such as WB100) 

More photos, taken today to show mint condition and gigbag

Thanks @three!

While I would prefer a sale, I realise its a big chunk of change in today's environment so I *might* consider a trade with cash my way for a short-scale Serek MW1/2, or Wilcock Mullarkey/Bisonic .... very specific, I know, but I do not hanker for anything else

I can't be 100% but I think the BG Precision has a replacement celluloid tort scratchplate. The swirls are tightly packed and salami-like and there is less randomness, yellow blobs etc, compared with the Andy Baxter one. I have bought '60s style celluloid tort guards in the past from that US seller on eBay and they look very like the BG one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304867217982?hash=item46fb80923e:g:f6gAAOSwhKdkJw1W&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0OiE0xoxQOylnx0sR%2F4e26i7Mt03uF%2B1FXtwqxCQDV8NsbZeJ%2FA%2FybnRCwmsUeakez0TElKvulEUnNGTCIxEcA%2BzIRDRu74GKMokVPcObp8U6mcdqMgJEalbrQT0HrmvkXWcJV1d5lWCndfPtXqnchyJPPM646hj9OisBAy24CRYEOrRJm8OijE4c4XufZuy2SJtWnEu3UMDFT5yKqFJeDIWkXsdXEPcno43vtVaEh8%2BDcJwPF%2BPxdGC13vkAOI6%2FuVdKH6yOMLhHdgrL0ZYOH4%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5Tnz_acYg

* Edit: withdrawing this for now to see if, with time, my injured left hand grows more comfortable with long scale *

Absolutely mint condition, never-left-home long scale Serek Lincoln. Ebony board, dual Serek single pickups, hot rod red nitro finish, unusual J width neck (1.5"). Ordered from Serek straight before I knackered my left hand in horse riding accident in March which has left me only comfortable with short scale. Physio on my hand - as I had reinforced at hospital today - is going to take at least a year and I could use the money for other stuff in my life, rather than have it sat unused in gigbag. Comes with superb Serek padded gig bag and case candy.

My £2,800 price tag loses me a bunch of money on the >£3k I paid, so no offers and collected from SW London. Alternatively, postage on top at cost and as agreed.

PS, I will probably end up pulling this ad when I am less p*ssed off about my hand but for now its for sale

Trade options added below: I already have a fabulous Serek short scale Midwestern 1 but would consider a second Serek MW1 or 2 or a Wilcock Mullarkey or Bisonic
