  1. These sound much better than the price tag would suggest and would be an excellent 5 string bass to start and continue on. GLWTS!
  2. Lovely bass, I've had 4 string, 5 string (unfortunately stolen last year) and 5 string fretless versions of these and they are very easy to play. None of mine had those inlays which I think are to do with the special edition and they look great. Good luck with the sale!
  3. I bought a synth pedal from Ian and he couldn't have been more helpful and easy to deal with. The pedal was sent extremely promptly and packaged well. Thanks! Nick
  4. Great basses. They did do a fretless version, I've got the 5 string. Good luck with the sale.
  5. I sold a GK combo amp to Etienne and it was a very smooth process. Thanks!
  6. Up for sale is my 5 string precision deluxe. This is an incredibly versatile bass with the active eq and extra double pickups near the bridge. I have owned it since 2007 and it has been well used and toured but is in good condition. I will try to show any issues in the photos but the two main things note are the scratch to the back of the neck and the clear nail varnish over the front pickups (I am sure this could be removed with care - it was put there when I was working very close to some lighting rigs and was experiencing a bit of hum. I took it to a local shop to see if anything could be done to shield it a bit better and it came back with the nail varnish....) The neck has a couple of lacquer chips and the body has a few knocks but only one that has removed any paint work. The pots are volume, pick up blender, treble and bass and mid boost. I am selling this bass to part fund a custom build and am a little unsure of where to price this so am happy to consider reasonable offers. No trades though thanks. I am based in South East London and work in central London and north east Kent and also Suffolk so if you're near by I'm happy to arrange a viewing somewhere convenient. I could potentially post it but it does not have a case so could be a bit tricky but if you're interested then do ask. If you would like any more information then please feel free to get in touch. Thanks!
  7. I had one of these as my first "proper" bass. Really easy to play and solid sound. I don't have the 4 string any more but got hold of a 5 string and use it regularly.
  8. Thank you for the advice, much appreciated! I have poked and prodded it all afternoon and cannot get it to go wrong so I'm leaving it for sale.
  9. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For sale is a GK MBE-III combo. It was purchased direct from GK in 2008 by myself. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Unfortunately it has an intermittent problem where it can distort and drop in volume from time to time. It is not a regular issue and comes and goes but obviously makes the amp unreliable. I have tried to get this fixed at several places including at the distributors but the problem never happens when they have the amp and I have no idea what triggers it. They have all cleaned the inputs and checked the obvious things like the pots. A long time ago the tip of a jack lead came off and got stuck in the input which was difficult to remove so perhaps that has something to do with it.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am not sure about what price to put this up for so please do get in touch with offers. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Ideally this would be a bargain for someone who knows a bit about amps who could take it apart etc. I don't have that knowledge and paying a professional to find the problem would become so expensive as to be not worth it.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Eveything else is in good condition and cosmetically there are very few marks etc. When it works it sounds fantastic! It also has the manual.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I spend my time in South East London and Suffolk so collection or reasonable delivery in either of those locations or anywhere in between would be ideal. But I am happy to post if required.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.[/font][/color] [attachment=171962:DSC_0567.JPG] [attachment=171963:DSC_0568.JPG] [attachment=171964:DSC_0570.JPG] [attachment=171965:DSC_0571.JPG]
