    MarkBass rig for sale. I pretty much stopped band bass a few years ago - so it has been sitting around waiting to be used.

    * MarkBass SA450

    * MarkBass traveler 102P (Indonesia)

    * MarkBass 102HF (Italy)

    I live in Essex if anyone would like to try it out. Pretty much my all time favourite rig - but just not getting used any more.

  2. - I am moving from bass to acoustic guitar - so starting to sell some gear that is not being used.

    My Yamaha SLB100 is up for sale

    I bought it about three years ago from a lovely guy on Basschat - but never got to use in anger as the band split 

    It will be pick up from Rayleigh in Essex

    Not sure on price  = the last one on here sold for £1200 - but that had a case - so £1000 seems fair  - happy to take bids if it seems the price is too high

    Cheers

  3. Black Fender Jazz Fretless

    Made  in Japan

    Bought it a few years ago   but never used it- no idea of the value - but have taken a punt at £500

    Based in Essex

    Serial number is J 031947   - so seems like a 1989-1990 bass

    Has a slight ding on the side  - can be seen in the picture

  4. I got this a few months ago from Hoggoblin in Brighton for a project that didnt work out - and have decided to move it on to make way for a new project.

    I live in Rayleigh Essex as it will need to be a pick up as too large to post

    To quote wiki:

    [color=#252525][font=sans-serif]The [b]guitarrón mexicano[/b] (the [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language"]Spanish[/url] name of a "big Mexican guitar", the suffix "-ón" being a Spanish[url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmentative"]augmentative[/url]) or [b]Mexican guitarron[/b] is a very large, deep-bodied Mexican six-string acoustic bass played traditionally in [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariachi"]mariachi[/url] groups. Although similar to the guitar, it is not a derivative of that instrument, but was independently developed from the sixteenth-century Spanish [i]bajo de uña[/i] ("fingernail[-plucked] bass"). Because its great size gives it volume, it does not require electric amplification for performances in small venues. The guitarrón is fretless with heavy gauge strings, most commonly nylon for the high three and wound metal for the low three. The guitarrón is usually played by doubling notes at the octave, a practice facilitated by the standard guitarrón tuning [b]A1 D2 G2 C3 E3 A3[/b]. Sometimes the high [b]A[/b] is [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reentrant_tuning"]lowered an octave[/url], putting it just one octave above the low[b]A[/b].[sup][url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitarr%C3%B3n_mexicano#cite_note-1"][1][/url][/sup][/font][/color]
    [color=#252525][font=sans-serif]The guitarrón was the inspiration behind [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Ball"]Ernie Ball[/url]'s development of the first modern [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_bass_guitar"]acoustic bass guitar[/url], released on the market in 1972.[sup][url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitarr%C3%B3n_mexicano#cite_note-2"][2][/url][/sup][/font][/color]

  5. After a year of learning upright and buying a couple of low cost basses. I am ready to make the leap and get myself a nice bass. Can anyone point me to a decent store in the South east where I can play with lots of basses. So that I can find one that feels right
