  1. @Oldman : Maybe you should state in your title or ad that it's the GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon Combo 800 version, and not the previous iteration. 😉
  2. Whatever I was selling I always started my eBay sales at 1 €/£/$ or whatever currency, so nothing weird here. Keeping an eye on it too, thanks @eubassix !
  3. I know you'd prefer a standalone version, but when I started learning piano I was looking for a flashing metronome that I couldn't miss as I can't stand a noise making one (it really hurts my ears). After trying a lot, I found this app version of what seems to be a more than complete model: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eumlab.android.prometronome I put it on my tablet and it was just perfect. It even has a polyrhythmic mode and you can set the light almost wherever you want. Worth giving it a try.
  4. Love everything about this bass. 😍 Congratulations!
  5. Why didn't he clean the tuners?!? Nice way to cheat a potentiometer... This 1974 P-Bass has now lost a least 1000 bucks. 🤦🏻‍♂️
  6. And don't forget the Wal twin neck bass that Jonas Hellborg used to play (don't think it was this very one)...
  7. I guess it was this Washburn Bantam B-62, @ped: https://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/305448842369
  8. Or this one off Leduc...
  9. There's this one in France @ped and since you were a Pedulla fan, hence your pseudo, maybe you could afford it if you sell that BMW. 🤣 https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/annonce-1049141
  10. This is NOT a Fodera Yin Yang Standard, but a luthier made almost new excellent copy that cost me €2750 Euros: sounds and look as good as the original, very lightweight without neck diving. TRADES ARE WELCOME, BUT NO SHORT OR MEDIUM SCALE BASSES PLEASE! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €1500 Euros (£1300 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible and included in my asking price, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. Here are the specifications : Body: 2 pieces lightly flamed elm (very resonant and lightweight) Thick top: wenge Yin and flamed maple Yang with an ebony veneer underneath and Yin circle in ebony (all CNC cut) Neck: one piece flamed maple Fingerboard: rosewood (12" radius) with perloid Yang circle, white front and side dots Positions: 24 stainless steel frets (fitted with an Invisible Fretwork Technology) Headstock: 2 + 2 wenge Yin and maple Yang veneer plus butterfly Tuners: original Gotoh Res-O-Lite GB350 Pickups: original EMG PX and EMG JVX in 60's Fender Jazz Bass position (for the bridge pickup) Controls (all EMG): stacked volume/VLPF tone (always on), active ABCX blend, stacked bass/treble, stacked mid/sweep, kill switch, with Sadowsky-like knobs Preamp: original EMG BQC (with modified stacked volume/VLPF tone) Bridge: original last generation Fodera 3D Strings spacing at bridge: 21 mm (can go down to 19 mm, as it previously was) Nut: brass Strings spacing at nut: 11 mm Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: black Truss rod: one, double action, 100% functional Finish: gloss nitro cellulosic Country of origin: Luxembourg Serial number: YYS65820 Year: 2022 Weight: 3.630 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the E string at 12th position (can even go way lower, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a brand new original Fodera case. Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally and is totally copper shielded (absolutely dead silent instrument). It has received a set of Fodera ultra light nickel round wound round core strings (40 - 55 - 75 - 95), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is almost new. Here is the link to 38 photos in high resolution: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dFqoAoBIB22OoUMy1GTKVgbxjAdTqIyB?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more.
  11. If you insist on putting EMG's then you'll have to use the passive ones, unless you can use a soldering iron and change the volume and blend for 25 kOhms pots to work with active EMG's and the Sadowsky preamp (which is the same, except the MEC pots, on the MetroExpress series as on the high end iterations sold by Warwick/Sadowsky joint venture). And EMG's don't come with a free EQ, but a tone control...
  12. The pickups on the MetroExpress series are already excellent, there's no need to upgrade them, as well as upgrading the preamp is useless unless you want the VTC (funny name for a simple tone control). I changed the pickups and the preamp on mine for the very expensive high end Sadowsky versions, and there's only a very tiny difference. In fact, I even ended up putting an old real American Sadowsky preamp (the epoxied one) and here there's a noticeable difference. But, as there's a but, you can simply improve the non existing shielding in the pickups cavity : it will be a great improvement over the original design.
  13. Just try the Dogal Hellborg flatwounds and you'll change your mind about flats missing that mwah... Very expensive, but worth every penny.

    Quick Russ, put some frets on it or your boy will be doomed.
  15. Warmoth Velocity Single Cut Medium Scale 32" Fretless (a similar bass will cost you way more than twice my asking price, check Warmoth website and hardware prices). This bass has received a fingerboard dressing and is in really good condition with some playing marks, dings and dongs. It is really lightweight at only 3.605 kilos as photographed and totally balanced (see photos in the link), but I'm so used to 34 inches scale basses that I barely play it, even if it sounds amazing. TRADES ARE WELCOME, BUT NO SHORT OR MEDIUM SCALE BASSES PLEASE! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE ! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €900 Euros (£777 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible and included in my asking price, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. Here are the specifications : Body: 2 pieces alder (Velocity shape, not proposed anymore for bass) Top: book matched black limba (or korina as Warmoth is calling it) thick top with a walnut layer underneath Neck: 3 pieces wenge with tilt back headstock (Super Bass construction without stiffening bars) Fingerboard: Macassar ebony Positions: 21 (fretless) with front and side dots Headstock: 2 + 2 wenge Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite USA Pickups: 2 x Bartolini Original BC4C in equivalent 60's Fender Jazz Bass position Controls: stacked volume/tone, blend, bass (push-pull active/passive), treble (the side mounted barrel jack is brand new) Preamp: original Sadowsky VTC (modified for stacked volume/tone as I prefer it) Bridge: Warmoth/Gotoh (not proposed anymore), through body stringing is, of course, possible Strings spacing at bridge: 19 mm Nut: white corian Strings spacing at nut: 11 mm Scale: 32 inches Hardware colour: black Truss rod: one, double action, 100% functional Finish: oil and wax Country of origin: USA Serial number: none Year: unknown Weight: 3.605 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the E string at 12th position (can even go lower, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a brand new guitar (yes it fits in it perfectly) Thomann Premium BR (top of the line) gigbag. Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has received a broken in set of Fender 9050L stainless steel flatwound strings (45 - 60 - 80 - 100), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is really good with usual wear.

  16. Lonnie, the guy behind LHZ said to me that Bass Direct will be selling the LHZ preamp and their pedal in April, just ask them. 😉 Lonnie has finished their first batch.
  17. https://lhzpreamps.com/ The mythical HazLabs tone of the original Spector basses.
  18. The Watch My Belly Deluxe Edition.
  19. But I'm sure you could modify this bridge to accommodate the twin piezo on each side of it.
