    [i]The Sherlocks are brilliant, played with them in September and they're superb[/i]. These guys when they were just starting out cut their teeth at one of the local jamnights I helped run. Always hoped they were destined for good things.

    Cheers Andy, it is a very nice bass, I always find it amazing how good budget basses are these days.....wish it had been so back in the days of yore when I first started!

    Up for grabs is a Squier VM Jaguar in fetching trans Crimson red. This is the active PJ long scale version that is made in Indonesia. I've only had this for a short time as it was picked up for back up bass duties for a short run of gigs that were out of my normal locale and it's now surplus to requirements. It's in great condition with no dings or scratches that I can see - a few swirlies on the pickguard looks to be the only thing that sets it apart from new. Up at NOW £150 which is a good saving against the new price of £211. In terms of trades I'm keen to get hold of a Squier Mikey Way Mustang or something equally sparkly from Italia (cash your way). Happy to post at buyers expense in gig bag and original cardboard box.

    Had a few SRs and Sterlings in my time. Can't say any of them were poor build quality but some definitely didn't have that quality that can't be defined that makes it a keeper. With current pricing levels I don't think I'd part with the cash without being able to play it first.

    I agree with a lot of what's been said above. The 4003 is definitely a marmite bass, it didn't take for me the first time around but I came back to one (via a 4004Cii that I really didn't like) a few years back and hopefully I'll keep this one until the end of my playing days. It isn't my goto bass by any means but the sound and experience of playing it puts a smile on my face and that's good enough reason for me to keep one.

    Have you looked at your action or technique? I sometimes (as a finger style player) get some blistering on the 'plucking' hand if I've been a bit over-enthusiastic but haven't ever had a problem on the fretting hand. I use half-rounds on my main bass which may be something you could consider?

    Up for grabs is my excellent condition Akai Miniak 3 octave synth. This was bought for an 80s tribute project as it was ideal has it has great early 80s synth models - particularly the Korg models which were great for Ultravox covers. Sadly I'm no longer part of this project and it seems a crime to let this keyboard sit in my man cave in its case. The keyboard comes in a great condition SKB semi-hard case which, as you can see from the pic is a great fit. I'm looking for £200 with the SKB case; I'd prefer pick up or close meet up but would be prepared to courier if the buyer arranges this and is adequately insured. Below is the website blurb on this iconic little keyboard. The MINIAK is a powerful performance and production synthesizer. The MINIAK empowers creative musicians with phrase and step sequencing, a built-in drum machine/rhythm sequencer, an arpeggiator, a 40-band vocoder, stereo effects, and a virtual analog synth engine developed in partnership with the world-class Alesis synth team. While the compact, portable synth shines on stage, the MINIAK is also at home in the production studio delivering 24-bit audio resolution. The MINIAK puts up to eight multi-timbral voices at your fingertips, each with three oscillators. You can create interesting and unique sounds and take advantage of the more-than-600 preset sounds and store up to 1,000 programs in the MINIAK. The synth also has two multi-mode filters, three envelope generators, two LFOs, stereo effects, and a 40-band vocoder. On top of all of this sound-melding power, the MINIAK has a comprehensive sequencer with step and dynamic real time phrase sequencing, a drum machine/rhythm sequencer, and an arpeggiator to aid in creating the landscapes and textures you’re after. Rounding out this complete instrument are high-resolution, 24-bit balanced 1/4" inputs and outputs. The MINIAK has a 37-key semi-weighted keyboard with velocity sensitivity for all-in-one performance. It can also be used as a sound source for MPCs, computer software, and keyboards via MIDI. - See more at: http://www.akaipro.com/product/miniak#sthash.oXPxK09K.dpuf

    They are cracking basses, my US Sub Sterling, despite being the ugly duckling in by armory, gets most of my gig work. GLWTS

    LM3 front panel (Italian made) also metal.....even in the MB bag the corners get a bit scuffed showing the aluminium construction
  17. martthebass
    Wow, 10 years for me also.......not including the time I did on Bassworld (and Basstalk...)

    [i]But. I can't play the bass because the frets are cutting my fingers. It's not that they haven't been smoothed - they are fine if you run your finger over them in a direction from the strings towards the back of the neck. But in the other direction there are tiny edges which are causing my cuts[/i] Just bought one of these myself, exactly the same problem. Fret dress sorted it no problem

    Thanks for this guys - about what I was hoping for.

    Just picked up a new Squier bass, lovely thing for the money but could do with the fret ends dressing as there's some sharp bits. What spend should I expect for such a job, no other set up work needed?
  21. martthebass
    Nice score Y5S. Ive just picked up a 4 string version of this. Very nice basses for the price, still working out the electronics though.

    Named after the 'anti satellite missile'? I always thought it stood for 'Another Strat, Another Tele'.

    My Akai Miniak, bought to play one finger lines with an 80s band I've now left. Not been out of its case for well over a year but still think I'll need it the day after I sell it!

    I managed to pick up a used Promethean head D, not quite as light or compact but seems to be more than adequate, you could do a lot worse.
  25. martthebass
    I'd looked at one of these as a gig backup head but became aware of the extending timeline for availability, pity would've been perfect.
