I got my first real six string from Russ - but it was yesterday not the Summer of '69! Top man, great comms, beautifully looked after instrument and we had a proper bass nerd chat to boot 😁 A credit to the BC community, buy with confidence!

Beautiful classic bass in great condition. Bought from Jay-Syncro of this parish last year, superb instrument but my dream bass arrived shortly after so this is not getting much playtime and time to pass it on to someone who will give it the attention it deserves. Here's what Jay wrote: "A lovely 80's made in Japan Ibanez Musican bass complete with a Hiscox flight case. This bass is extremely well built and features neck through construction, 24 fret ebony board, lightweight hardware and active electronics. It plays wonderfully with a recent set of Ernie Ball flats and a med/low action. It sounds great! Bad points are it has some superficial lacquer checking/dings/missing finish etc but nothing out of the ordinary for an instrument that has been used for 40 years or so! Also the bridge pickup seems to have a lower output than the neck for some reason. With the pickup pan pot balanced or favouring the neck you'd never notice it, but mentioning for clarity. I have considered modernising the pickups/preamp but IMO it sounds great as it is. A wonderful instrument." The bass is as above, photos attached show the condition and some zooms on the dings. Weight on my bathroom scales is 4.25kg. Happy to arrange shipping at buyer's cost or arrange a meetup within reasonable range.

Cute little combo which I bought to have a missus-acceptable practice amp in the living quarters. Change in circumstances means it's no longer needed! Good working order and overall condition apart from a split in the oak facing which looks like a thermal crack - doesn't affect the sound and could be glued to make less visible. Open back design with space for mains cable stowage. Dimensions (cm) H35 x W43 x D26. Weight 10.2kg. Happy to pack up and post at buyer's cost - I do also get around the country a certain amount as well and might be able to arrange a meetup. Cheers!

** The 15th South East Bass Bash - Sunday 12 November 2023 **
tomthebass replied to Hamster's topic in Events
Super day, thanks to everyone who organised and participated. Really enjoyed meeting everyone, appreciated the chance to try out some exotic basses, and loved Guy's interview and the chance to play the sublime Betsy 🥰 Afterwards I messaged my boys to tell them I'd had a go on the bass used by the bassist from Oink Floyd. It was a typo but I'm bagging it as a tribute band name 🐷 -

Cute but muscly little combo which I've decided to move on due to change of circumstances. Features a beefy 10" speaker (8 ohm) and tweeter in tiltable cabinet, with a 500(watts)@ 4 ohm /250(watts) @ 8 ohms class D fully detachable head. 6 band graphic eq, bass, treble and vintage tone controls, speakon & 1/4 inch jack speaker outputs, xlr out, headphone out, tuner out, foot switch in. All working well and overall great clean condition, a few scuffs on the corners especially bottom front (see pics) where a previous owner relocated the feet. Weight is 12.7kg (bathroom scales) and the whole thing slides neatly into a funky cubic gig bag. Basschat review here:

Happy Friday everyone! Hesitating a lot about this one but new bass incoming and I need to be ruthless 🫣 Lovely and unusual all original Ken Smith from 1997, super comfy to play, usual Ken Smith punchy tone and feel. Bolt on 3-piece maple neck with morado fingerboard, oiled body with walnut core and ash wings. Usual 3-band Ken Smith preamp and standard knobs. Great condition throughout with a little wear under the G-string and above the neck pickup, see pics. Weight is 3.8kg on my bathroom scales. Bought from a US talkbasser in 2020, I can share the original ad and YouTube walk around video of the bass plus customs receipts on request. Comes with a lovely old Ken Smith hard case - new pics added. Open to sensible offers but not looking to trade. Go on, you know you want to!
