Happy Jack

Blimey Mick, how the hell would I remember? 🤣

Excellent wireless unit in great condition, but I'm playing so many doubling gigs these days that the transmitter+base-station approach doesn't 4really work for me any more. Complete rig including neoprene pouch (in case you want to attach the transmitter to a double bass), an OBBM instrument cable, and original power supply. Velcro on the base-station allows secure attachment to ... well ... whatever, really. No extra charge. All clearly labelled for fast set-up on a dark stage.

It does ... it's a very light bass overall and the combination of the small headstock, single cut, and enlarged lower bout makes it one of the most usable of the boutique basses out there.

You may be familiar with the expression, "now there's something you don't see every day". I suspect that it is appropriate in this case. These handmade basses are each unique and they're a right bugger to date reliably, but this one ticks all the boxes for the company's heyday: 1964-66. Not a re-issue or a restoration job, this is absolutely the real deal ... a bass that was bought while surf music was in the charts and then gigged relentlessly for many years. You want mojo? It's got mojo? You want to see what genuine buckle-rash looks like when no angle grinder was involved? As far as I can tell, this ws all-original and unmolested when I bought it many years ago, and I've looked after it. Yes, all that wear was there when I bought it. Currently strung with Black Beauties (or something very similar - hey, it was a long time ago, alright?) this has all the shortscale thuddy goodness you'd expect from this era. Comes with the cheap-but-sturdy rigid gigbag it rests on in these photos, but realistically I'm not about to entrust this thing to a courier. It might get scratched. Collection from Harrow or the West End, possible meet-up within a sensible distance from Harrow.

I bought this back in the days when I thought the best way forward was to challenge the Les Paul-playing, pedal-obsessed, twin-stack merchant in a band I was in at the time. I rather fancy it's this one, but don't hold me to this: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Pedal-Board-and-Gig-Bag-by-Gear4music/1T73?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwzIK1BhAuEiwAHQmU3lOhaPYVF30TKXeZWY2j3mhmPqN93qoAjxfy-uk8RGT1ZQyySuWeZBoCEO8QAvD_BwE The electrical supply is a Diago power station thingy, all working fine. Can't remember whether this is the original tote or a subsequent upgrade. It seems to do the job, anyway. You'll prolly want to give it a stiff brushing on the outside. Either that or tell people it's part of the Roadworn series from your days touring the States ...

Bigger version of the Gramma Pad in pretty much as-new condition. Size: 76 x 48 x 4.5 cm / 30″ x 19″ x 1.75″ Weight: 4.7kg / 9lbs

Pair of Auralex Gramma isolation pads, one in great condition, one almost great. These are the older design with the more substantial handles underneath the board. Size: 58 x 38 x 4.5 cm / 23″ x 15″ x 1.75″ Weight: 2.8kg / 6lbs These will be a right faff to send my post/courier so I'd prefer to sell by personal handover if possible. I can separate if required, in which case the better of the two is £50 and the one with the missing purple foam is £40. Expensive stuff, purple foam. Purple foam, purple foam. Only want to see you in the purple foam.

I bought this two years ago when I was getting back into keyboards after a very long break. As a user-friendly beginner's stage piano it was hard to beat; it sounds great and it's designed to be very intuitive to use ... it is really simple and obvious how to layer and modify sounds while you are playing, key modification is instantly accessible without having to go into a menu system, and other keyboards can be attached as required as you develop. Although described everywhere as a stage piano, it is also a very competent organ and string machine, and a reasonable synth. The gigbag (wheels at one end for ease of movement) is in grubby condition and needs a good brushing but is undamaged. The item is far too large & heavy for me to consider posting it, so please don't ask. It can either be collected from Harrow HA1 or we can meet somewhere not too far from Harrow for a handover. Listed on eBay with a start price of £249, I've put it here at discount in case any BC types fancy it. The following is the original 'blurb' for this keyboard: Stage Piano 88 keys with hammer action Touch-sensitive 256 voices 16 sounds String Resonance 5 assignable favourites Reverb, Chorus, Tremolo, Delay & EQ effects Split & Layer Mode for the keyboard Simple operation Incl. sustain pedal A lightweight with great sounds The Kurzweil SP1 is a stylish stage piano with a weighted 88-key hammer action keyboard and very user-friendly controls. It offers a choice of 16 tones, including a German D Artis Grand, electric pianos from the Kurzweil Forte SE, strings, woodwinds and brass from the Kurzweil PC-3. The SP1 features four individually adjustable effects (reverb, chorus, tremolo, delay) and a 3-band master EQ. It is possible to layer up to four sounds on top of each other, and there is also a split function. The high polyphony of 256 voices is high enough so that even when two people are playing the instrument at high speed, no fading note is swallowed. The low weight of just 12 kg makes the Kurzweil an ideal companion for your performance or for transporting to lessons. Connections In addition to the input for the power supply, there is a connection for a volume pedal and the included sustain pedal. Stereo outputs connect the instrument to a mixing console, audio interface or home stereo system. The stereo input is intended for connecting a smartphone or CD player, for example, and integrating the music from it into the exercises. The headphone output allows undisturbed playing and practising at any time of the day or night. Via the USB port, the SP1 can be connected to a computer to function as a master keyboard with music software (DAW). The MIDI inputs and outputs allow interaction with other MIDI equipment such as a sound expander or sequencer.

Now the Ritter, on the other hand ...
