Gigging rig at the moment, between the Ibanez and a p with flags for most things, enjoying it lots

That the word "local" was referenced a couple of times put me off suggesting this!

PM incoming! 

Having a studio clear out, don't really have a use for this beast anymore!

In good condition, few nicks in the tolex but all working as it should.

Open to offers, collection / local meet up or delivery (local) only please.

I am thinking of swapping my two HD112 cabs for a lightweight Berg 212. I was holding out for a HDN212, but I missed out on a couple of CN212 cans at Bass Direct recently and I am beginning to regret it. I did have an AE212 before, which I really liked, even if I prefer the HDs (but not that much in it really). 

 

I don't suppose you can say how the CN212 compares to the HD or HDN (or even the AE) cabs?? 

Can't compare it I'm afraid, first and only berg cab I've tried!

Can I ask what Berg cab are you using? 

CN212, the lightweight one.

What model Berg cab is that? I've got the HD212 . Is it one of those , or one of the neo ones?

My two options at the moment. Love the berg cab, so clear and so much headroom. 

Love the colour choice of your MV... wondered how you are finding it noise wise? The one negative for me so far is I've noticed its louder than my other basses (in terms on shielding). Only really noticeable through headphones and easily sorted, but still a little disappointing for this price point. 

Thanks for the response so far. I was actually using Allianz before so may just go back to them, just found them on the pricier side. 

Hi all, 

As the title says really - cancelled all of mine as they ended just into the lockdown last year. Wondering which companies people are using and if there are any recommendations / companies to avoid?

Thanks! Marshall.

Good job 👍

Can't wait to hear your thoughts 

So far so good! Can't fault the fit and finish, balance and weight feel spot on. Not sure if Bass Direct have anything to do with the set up but its pretty much spot on for me too. The neck is killer - my other P is a Nate Mendel sig and I much prefer this slightly wider but flatter board.  My only 'dislike' really is the strings that are on it, its screaming for some flats. Lovely range from the tone control though, very effective. Going to get gigged hard in the next couple of months, can't wait!

This arrived a couple of days ago direct from Modern Vintage (Rob Elrick & John Files), but I wanted the La Bella Black Nylons on and the bass setup before I posted it.

So far I love it, fantastically built bass, sounds great and a neck finish, feel and shape to die for!

Loving the finish too, really nice vintage Shell Pink colour with matching headstock!

That's a seriously nice P bass ! The fiesta red one on bass direct is very tempting!

I did the Ashbass mod, used the b3 heavily for a few years. I'll see if I can dig some photos out. 

Really easy to do and well worth it! I actually got a b3n but preferred the sounds on the older b3 so I stuck with it for a while. Loved how the looper worked on it too. 

Hey, decided to withdraw this, I can afford to keep it for now thankfully. 

Thanks for the interest 

FInally got round to taking the pre out of mine and wiring it passive - volume/volume/tone - brilliant!  Was hunting for pickups but I don't think I'll bother, rolling tone off just a touch and its perfect. No noise either!

Sorry, I totally forgot about this listing. Withdrawn for now! Thanks. 

Really enjoying this set up at the moment. Can't make my mind up about going down the midi switcher on the stomp or getting another drive / boost pedal... or both...

Bought a pedal from Rich, super easy, quick delivery, packaged perfectly, happy days! Thanks! 

I love this bass,  but something very nice has come up locally to me....

In great condition, really like the light relic finish, only damage being to the scratchplate which is glued. Could replace but  new one wouldn't look right imo!

Picked is a Dimazio Model P, upgraded wiring and tone pot, and swapped the knobs to plastic as I preferred the look. I do have the quarter pounder pickup and original chrome knobs, and the foo fighers neck plate which I'll include. 

Currently strung with chromes, plays and sounds awesome. 

Only a feeler for the moment, want to check I can raise the funds for another purchase. 

Collection / local meet only please.

Price drop to £600!

This bass is awesome, but its sitting in its case unused and I'm short on space...

Near mint condition, been used but well looked after. Comes with the supro soft case which does a decent job, allen keys, and I have some daddario chromes in the case for it too as they suit it really well.

Collection only for the time being please. Happy to meet up if you're not too far too. 

Have a couple of weddings in July but not holding out much hope for them. Had a US & Canada tour that was meant to happen in April / May, fingers crossed that all happens next year. Will be gigging as soon as I can! 

Just noticed the quick access truss rod cover too. Nice! 

So after playing it for a couple of hours....

Feel and finish of it is excellent. Frets are spot on, I haven't done anything with the set up other than raise the bridge pickup ever so slightly. Intonation needs adjusting but it's only slightly off. 

Sounds good too! Very bright, I think I'll end up making it passive and replacing the wiring, not that I've looked inside at what's in there already mind you! Its probably perfectly fine. Just not keen on the preamp.

I think it's the best value bass I've bought new. Already considering a second one for a fretless project 🙄

Fair comment! 

Its here! Glad I bought this, flippin awesome. Plays really great straight out the box, it was almost in tune too. Not plugged it in yet but finish and feel seem spot on, even more so at this price. Winner
