  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]
  10. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1409930562' post='2544726'] This is not a pre-amp, surely..? It quite clearly shows '500 Watt Bass Amplifier' on the front panel, and has a pair of speaker out jacks on the back. What's up, Doc..? [/quote] Yes.... *red face*.... Was in a rush when I put it up. Updated! Thanks
  11. For sale is a Hartke LH500 Amp. It is rack mounted into a Stagg flight case. I bought this second hand a couple of years ago to use as a spare but have never used it. All in excellent condition. 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. If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.
  12. I am a Double Bass/Bass Guitar professional and teacher based in South East London and happy to cover the whole London area and some of Kent too. I am happy to teach any style, including people looking to move from bass guitar to upright or who need help with arco playing. I teach at a couple of schools, offer good rates and am gigging regularly. Please get in touch if you are interested or have any questions. Nick
  13. Apologies for not updating this post but I'm afraid the bass has gone now. Cheers
  14. Bought this bass on eBay for £200 when I was a student and have never really found good time to use it. It has a very dark green/grey front with a black moulded back. The thread has gone in the A string tuner but that will not cost much to repair. There is also a scratch on the fingerboard. I am looking for £100ono to move this on to someone who will appreciate it more. At the moment I don't have the facility to post so collection or meeting half way would be preferable. I'm based in Ipswich but will be in South London a bit this week and in Cardiff next week, so anywhere in between would work well! I will get some pictures up soon but if anyone would like to meet to view it or needs any more information please get in touch. Nick
  15. Lovely Spector NS2004 with thru-neck design in amber. It looks and plays great and is a bargain at £200! I bought it last year from Basschat for that price and i have put new strings on it and kept it clean. It has not really been used since then as I only really play 5 strings now. At the moment I don't have the facility to post so collection or meeting half way would be preferable. I'm based in Ipswich but will be in South London a bit this week and in Cardiff next week, so anywhere in between would work well! Here's some pictures, and if you need any more information please get in touch. Nick
  16. I just sold my NS-5XL to a mate for very similar reasons. I know I did the right thing but it still hurts a lot! Good luck with the sale, I've actually played this particular bass and it's incredible.
  17. Thank you for the PM's. Have been away for the weekend and will endeavour to reply today and tomorrow.
