three

I had one with a 36" scale - an absolute monster that came with its own flightcase (virtually unliftable).  It might be worth trying a Hiscox Large Bass Case (you could check the dimensions at least)

Superb basses and unbelievably good value - good luck but I can't see this hanging around

I’ve used tinytone and the results were quite good but not perfect – really quite expensive too. Tinytone and Jack’s instrument repair services (two branches of the same organisation I think) have been unresponsive in the recent past. I’m just waiting for two guards from Earl Pilanz now. I’ll be back with more when they arrive. Very easy process and all facilitated with enthusiasm by Brian - he seems very good to work with for custom guards and turnaround is very reasonable 

Bow are incredible - flawless work. Brilliant choice of finish - bold but fab

I know this bass will be several steps up, but I was playing a mate’s Epiphone EB0 (short) and EB3 (long-scale) at the weekend. Both very cool and easy-to-play instruments. Some great tones too and definitely not one-trick (well maybe the EB0 is a bit - great trick though). Refreshingly little neck dive too. For me Gibson-type basses are very much under-rated. This one looks like a beautiful bargain. My interest in Gibson’s EB shapes is revivified

Thanks all for the responses and suggestions.  The 5.8 is attractive so the Xvive and NUX make sense.  I'll try to order both (Amazon) and can then work out which is the better performer for my needs.  Latency times (official versions) are very similar at 5 and 5.5ms - important for me as I'd prefer to use wireless for recording if feasible.  I'll get back with comments asap.  Thanks again - much appreciated

Hi, I've been using a Lekato WS100 system (quite infrequently) for a couple of years.  I bought it for fun really (less than £40) and didn't expect much.  That was fortunate, as I didn't get much.  Whilst the Lekato has had little use, reliability is a problem and the folding jack on the transmitter is starting to fail (a poor connection I'd assume).  That said, I do enjoy the freedom and convenience of a bug type system - more convenient for me than the belt-pack or pocket type units.  One of the plus points of the Lekato is that the bug is light, though other than this it doesn't really feel or behave like much more than a toy.  Can anybody recommend a reliable, robust, possibly higher-end bug system?  Thanks!     

Absolutely lovely - classically cool.  Do you know the weight?  I had an original '75J with the same finish and aesthetic.  Looked, sounded and played stunning but I could hardly lift it.  Also, is this a two-piece centre-jointed body (I can't quite tell from the images)?

Sounds good in the marketing video (but it would). Love the ‘50s sci-fi lab aesthetic of the DB750, but the ‘70s kitchen styling much less so. I’m assuming class D but haven’t seen confirmation in specs. Agi seems to have moved-on a long way

For sale, two sets of RS66S short-scale bass strings.  These are stainless steel rounds, and according to RotoSound provide a 'Bright hard hitting tone'.

One set is new and in its original pack.  The second set was fitted on Sunday, then removed and thoroughly cleaned (with surgical spirit) on Tuesday after less than 2 hours of use.  The strings really don't suit either the bass (a Spector Shorty) or me.

The used set is cut for 2 a side (as above a Spector Shorty).  There's a reasonable amount of winding for each post (especially the E and A) so some flexibility.

The cheapest I've seen these strings in the UK is £21 including shipping.  The price for both sets listed here, including shipping within the UK, is £20.  

Any questions, please just let me know.

For sale, a TE Elf C110 combo in excellent condition. Reduced to £340.  This really is immaculate, as is its cover.  All you'd excect from the Elf range and surprisingly powerful and loud (if needed).  Functioning perfectly and supplied with original TE documentation.  I've ended-up with two (silly stereo experiment) so this - almost unused one - is no longer needed.  I don't have the original box but can locate a carton for shipping if any prospective buyer wishes to organise a courier.  No trades thanks. Collection would be preferable (just to the East of Manchester), though as above, courier arrangements are possible. 

Any questions, please just ask.

Basic specs are:

POWER: 130 watts @ 8 ohms, 200 watts @4 ohms (with an additional 8 ohm cabinet)

FEATURES: Gain, level indicator, bass (center @ 80Hz), middle (center @ 400Hz), treble (center @ 4.2kHz), power indicator, volume, speaker/headphone selector switch, ground lift switch)

SPEAKERS: 1x10” Neo 8-ohm driver 

DIMENSIONS: 324mm (H) x 305mm (W) x 355mm (D)

CONNECTIONS: Input, headphone/line out,  speaker output, balanced DI XLR (direct out)

WEIGHT: 18.5 lbs

Absolutely beautiful. Martin sorted an LED problem for me both quickly and cheaply - I suspect it’s an easy fix. What’s the circuit in this and do you know the age of the bass?
To digress, I spent a couple of nights in Chertsey in early autumn last year. A lovely place - I was very taken with it

This looks like a lovely example.  Has the EMG logo simply worn-off the pickups?

I was fortunate enough to own a transitional XL2 for a while.  They sound like nothing else, in the best possible way, for me.  The downside was ergonomics - a personal issue, but I simply couldn't find a way to make the bass easily/comfortably playable either sitting or standing (using the plug-in hardware seen on some transitionals).  Plenty of others had no problem throughout the '80s and beyond.  Rare and desirable - the first serious and successful iteration of bass guitar design IMO  

One of my favourite 1x12 cabs - incredibly solid in build and tone.  This looks like an incredible bargain

Two used cables - a Fender Custom Shop Tweed (S-RA) 18.5ft, and a Fender Standard Coiled (S-RA) 30ft.  Both tested and fully functional.  Condition is used but very good.  These seem to go for £19 and £27.50 respectively without postage, so hopefully £27.50 for both shipped in the UK is reasonable.  Bank transfer only please as I can't currently use Paypal

On a phone so limited, though the board looks lovely. Do you know who undertook the work?

A lovely looking bass and I can only echo Owen’s sentiments. I hope that your financial situation improves dramatically and rapidly

It's this kind of dedication that makes Basschat what it is

Via Canada and all displayed perfectly - thank you

Glorious - I was able to play plenty of these in the early ‘80s and preferred them to the later customs. I still do. The neck profile was sublime (for me). Fabulous artistry and technique from Andy

Hi mate, none of the images in that thread work for me?

Same for me

That looks to be in lovely condition - I enjoyed the track too!

Fantastic cabs and for me, the HD is Bergantino's finest range, if not its lightest.  I use the HD210 and it's very probably my favourite cab (and I've had a lot!)

Wow, worth it for that beautiful board and tort alone

Wow, gorgeous.  Sort of fortunately, I really struggle with the ergonomics of Spector long-scales but the weight of this almost defies belief and a fantastic finish!
