    Just completed a transaction with Benoit on an Overwater. The bass is beautiful - exactly as described (essentially new) and was packed brilliantly and shipped very rapidly. Communications throughout were superb and all information re: tracking was provided within an hour of despatch (pictures of the packing process were a bonus but raise confidence). It was a three-way deal in the end - this can be a cause of some nervousness but Benoit's orchestration was superb. I'd highly recommend as a very trustworthy member of the BC community.

    I don’t think that’s an xlr, it’s the socket for the Alembic cable to the DS5. This will carry power to the bass (lights and actice circuit) and signal back to amp/FoH. Phil P - what an outsatanding bass - looks like 13 piece wings - unusual and beautiful cocobolo (if that’s what it is - I’m on a phone). On topic again, I’m not a fan of front of board lights but Alembic will supply pretty much any configuration and I’ve not had any problem with unevenness. The little silver circles that surround side of board lights are a lovely and very subtle touch

    I've had them in a couple of Alembics but only really use the side markers - very useful (IMO) for finding your way around in dimly lit setttings (including studios, rehearsal rooms and on stage). I'm not a massive fan of LEDs in the front of the board, though yours Dood are extremely tasteful (testament to what can be achieved with some creative thought). I have laser lights on the face of an Alembic - these really are super-bright and need power from the DS5 - it's not a bass that I spec'd and don't use them. I too think that they're over the top. The bass itself is outrageously good - a tone like no other (SII). The lights in the board add nothing for me.

    Another vote for the Bass Gallery - I've been a regular customer for many years (though tend to work less in London now so don't have so much chance to visit). Unparalleled expertise, genuinely lovely people and an amazing selection of instruments and amps. Martin is a genuine genius - I would trust him with basses that I wouldn't let others touch. Wunjos too - always a friendly welcome and knowledgeable staff in an otherwise rather grim part of the city - some of the other shops on Denmark St don't really shine

    A very cool-looking bass! Who did the nitro re-spray and relicing job?

    Much prefer these to the customs - played loads of them back in the day when Barratts in Manchester was the distributor. Lovely bit of history with that very desirable v neck profile (desirable for me anyway)

    A very nice example - do you know who fitted the LEDs and when (SIMs)?

    Thank you - excellent idea!

    Is that a battery cover on the back of the body? If so, is there an active option (or has the bass been active at some point)? I’m not really an Overwater fan but this looks lovely

    Wow, really lovely and very distinctive - Jon’s workis absolutely first class

    I've been using - and I've been very impressed with - a Bergantino B Amp. Very/increasingly flexible, around 800w, will go down to 2 and 2.7ohms. Fully parametric eq, studio quality DI, VR compression, cab profiles (if you use Bergs but good with others), very nicely designed and great build, presets/memory function, very punchy and very loud (if you need that). Light too at around 6.5lbs. Not the cheapest option but an extremely impressive amp in all respects (IMO)

    Punchiest amp?

    A big old Trace Elliot (iv-Series 6) and trouser the remaining £700?

    I’ve had expensive and poor results with two of the leading amp techs in Manchester - this with extremely high-end ss gear - real studio quality kit. Roland wouldn’t touch it (valve only). I’m now at a loss and looking outside the city. Good luck to the op with this.

    Recently sold an AER Amp One to Chris - what a lovely guy - met in Birmingham for the handover. Chris was extremely flexible and accommodating and I could have talked for hours. Everything in perfect order - payment entirely straightforward and immediate. Deal in complete confidence - one of BC's finest

    Sold a big, heavy old Trace Elliot MkIV to Dan - really easy deal with great communications. Really good to chat too. Extremely trustworthy and reliable - deal in confidence

    Thanks all for the lovely comments - an extremely solid amp with classic Trace tone. There’s been a lot of interest in this. I should point out that there is a misding slider cap, and the heavy duty is worn but still entirely functional. I haven’t used the DI but assume it works – apparently, the amp was serviced around a year prior to my purchase, so about two years ago.

    This used to be mine. One of the best Ps I’ve played - everything about this bass is just right

    I may now be able to ship this in the UK - cost would be around £8-10

    SOLD - Now reduced to £20. Aguilar 3u rackbag (made by Protec) in good, used condition. Wooden inner shell so highly stable and protective. Zips work perfectly (though one tab on the front pocket is missing). A bit of corrosion on one of the D rings and no shoulder strap - I’ve never had the strap but they’re pretty useless with a really heavy head in the bag. I think that these were around £100 new and I'm not sure that they're still available. An easy solution for protection and transportation of your DB750 or 751 - or for any other rack mount gear. Collection from Manchester (no trades thanks). I may be able to ship - at cost - if you're happy for me to just affix a label (rather than package).

    Trace Elliot AH250 mk iv - used but in good condition for its age (probably mid 1980s). Tested around two years ago and thoroughly cleaned around six months ago. The UV light functions perfectly as does the amp. This is a heavy unit - around 35-40lbs - and for collection only. Extremely solid with classic trace tone and 11 band graphic eq. Amongst the finest of the Trace family in my opinion. Comes with the speaker connection lead. Collection only, just to the East of Manchester, and no offers thanks. Less than £1 per Trace watt - and the lovely UV light

    Is this just the pre? Phenomenal unit - without doubt my favourite 1u front-end

    It’s difficult to deny!
