Might be interested in an Ibanez SR605 or K5 or Warwick 5 string in p/x

Superb jazz inspired bass with a modern take, nut width feels closer to a Precision but neck not as thick. Fitted with my preferred 35-95 Rotos with a low action, no unwanted fret buzz it really plays and sounds great. I have two and have decided to let one go. Its obviously been played over its 24 years so has some tarnishing, dings and scratches none of which affect functionality, really sad to see it go but letting stuff go to get a mortgage deposit going.

Selling my GMR Soundboard 4, amazing bass but I need the fund for sound equipment. I'm not fully sure of the exact wood specs so feel free to comment if you're more knowledgeable than me. Shows signs of use most of which are some dents around the edge of the body and scratches in the knee rest position, as photo'd, it's been heavily gigged but respectfully. Sad to see it go  plays great with nice low action and balanced really nicely, cant see any fretwear, could do with a polish

2 Piece body core, Maple....I believe with Ovankangol Front and back caps with Wenge sandwiched in there also

7 Piece Multi-laminate neck, Maple / Wenge

Active MEC J Pickups (9V)

Passive Vol/Vol/Tone

5kg weight

Currently Strung with Roto 35-85's

Schaller v1 Locking buttons

I ferry all my basses round in a mono case, which I'm keeping so I will include a terribly thin Rockbass gigbag, therefore postage isn't really an option. Collection or "local" delivery for fuel

Rob Purchased a neck from me, swift easy transaction Thanks!

Neck functions perfectly, trussed works as should, ready to be bolted on and played, comes with its original Schaller tuners. Frets and nut are in good condition, there are some chips on the back of the net which were filled by the previous owner, could do with finishing if off. 35 year old neck so not pristine.

Nut Width: 41.35mm

Heel Width: 63.45mm

Neck has a beautiful flame, like I've never seen on a Squier neck, purchased because of this for a project that never happened, like all the other projects....

Will post for £5 or collect for free.

Sold me an EMG pickup, no issues fast postage great coms Thanks!

Will chuck in a pair of Pulse Extendable Speaker poles, these subs have build in crossovers and will work alongside other brands

indeed it is, but to prove the point about how I've been happy using it 

I've been leaving my Barefaced BB2 and EBS Reidmar 502 at home recently and been gigging a Warwick Gnome V1 and a 4ohm 2x8 Gnome cab and really liking it, don't usually get above 10 o'clock on the master and its plenty without backline support for a reasonably loud 4 piece, fills the room nicely with good low end.

I find it very upper mid punchy, sadly the piezo on the cab sounds a bit shite to my ears (non pleasant treble) but compared to the BB2's horn it's not even close to the same league! Overall very very impressed and would highly recommend, it always gets compliments and gigs and after picking the cab up used, I'm about £200 all in, bargain!

Omg I had this exact head for years, from around 1989. I’ve never seen a cab though 

 

 

Me neither, not sure how many are left, Mike say he thinks they made around 350 heads but maybe 40 or 50 4x12's

STAK 130RMS Head + STAK 4x12 Cabinet

Rare amp and rare cab, I have seen 2 heads up for sale and have never been able to find another cabinet for sale!

Made in London by Ron & Mike at Sounds Hire Ltd, they produced amps under two names, ICARUS & STAK they started producing these in 1972, this is serial number 77 made by Mike Baker. I managed to track down Mike on Facebook via the Ampstack Facebook page and have shared messages with him regarding these amps and what they're inspired by, he told me that initially they made a 50W prototype (which he still has and still uses in his hoem studio) but decided to push it up to 100W, the 130RMS was designed using the original circuit from Eric Claptons early Bassman but obviously EL34 powered instead of 6L6, they also produced a 230RMS KT88 200W model which must be window smashing loud!

All I know is that its sounds great, produces fantastic cleans and crunches up superbly when you wind up the preamp volume. It will run at bedroom volume just as well as it does at full tilt thanks to the 12 position master and takes pedals perfectly fine.

When I got this amp it didnt need much other than a clean, its had the dubilliers replaced as per Mike's instruction as they were notoriously problematic especially with age, its fitted with all the original or atleast period correct Zaerix (Z & I Aeros Services) valves, I will supply with a new trio of JJ preamp tubes as spares along with the replaced caps.

The Bulgin Power socket was also replaced with a modern IEC due to the original cable being lost plus ease of use. Chassis shows corrosion and some oxidisation but its 50+ years old so this is normal and doesnt affect function in any way. New castors have also been fitted to the cab as they had fully fallen apart. There is tolex peeling but no structural issue, both cab and head chassis are solid. Theyre are some screws missing from the cab backp panle but its solid and doesnt rattle at all, its a tight fit.

100 watt

3x ECC83 Zaerix Preamp Valves

4x EL34 Zaerix Power Valves

12 Position Rotary Master Volume Switch

Normal + Bright Input, each with High & Low

Controls: Normal V / Bright V / Bass / Middle / Treble / Presence / Master V

The cabinet is the original matching one fitted with a quad of Eminance 12" Speakers dated 1974. Speaker model number is 12PPGF16AX I beleive they are either 50w or 75w speakers not 100% the cab is fully working, no blown cones or rubbing.

Said to get you close to a Sunn Model T

I'm sure you can guess this half stack isn't light so collection preferred, I'm willing to deliver personally within reason, message me to discuss.

These are real rare, I've seen people asking £2400 for the head alone on Reverb and The Music Locker selling a head they had for £795.00 which had a replacement back panel. No splitting this is a rare vintage pair that shouldn't be split, by all means try me with offer worst I can say is no. I'm based in High Wycombe.
