Mint Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass - Daphne Blue. Price £1500 including UK postage Bought a few months ago, 2023 model. Played a few times only and in as new condition. Weight: 8.6lbs Posted insured with UPS. The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone. The late '50s to the early '60s was a watershed period in the development of the Precision Bass®, a time of transition that would see the introduction of many new appointments that would become synonymous with the P-Bass®. By 1960, the design of the P-bass had eclipsed the earlier cues culled from the Telecaster® - now the P-bass had a Strat®-style headstock shape, comfort-contours, pickguard mounted electronics and 4-saddle bridge. Adorned in 3-Color Sunburst and topped with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, the 1960 Precision Bass represented a more refined, enduring aesthetic for the model. Featuring a premium alder body, Pure Vintage '60 Split-Coil P-Bass pickup and a substantial "C" shape hard rock maple neck mated with a 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.

Broughton Audio Messenger Jr preamp, eq, HPF, LPF and DI (https://www.broughtonaudio.com/product-page/messenger-jr) £300 including postage to UK address. withdrawn The Messenger Jr captures the high quality features of its predecessors in the smallest format yet. The Messenger Jr is a high fidelity instrument preamplifier that is perfect for the studio and live performances. The preamp offers a wide array of features in a compact, easy to use format. Up to 20 dB of clean gain Shelving bass and treble EQ Variable low pass and high pass filters Middle EQ with adjustable frequency Unbalanced line out and balanced XLR out with ground lift Volume control for the balanced out signal Foot switch function can be assigned to either bypass the EQ or mute the signal Input The 1/4" unbalanced input can accept instrument level signals from various sources, such as electric bass, guitar, acoustic guitar, and keys/synth. If you wish to use a line level signal, it is recommended to use a higher supply voltage (up to 24V) to provide adequate headroom. The input impedance is 1MΩ. Low Noise Gain The Gain knob provides clean, low noise gain ranging from unity to +20 dB. Equalizer (EQ) The EQ is a boost/cut type, providing +/-15 dB of range, and is flat with the knobs at noon. The Bass is a shelving type EQ, affecting frequencies below 80Hz The Treble is a shelving type EQ, affecting frequencies above 3kHz The Middle EQ affects the frequency set by the associated Middle Freq knob The Low Pass and High Pass filters are 12dB per octave active filters with a smooth response in the pass band Outputs The 1/4" output is an unbalanced instrument level output, capable of driving other pedals, amplifiers, or preamps The balanced out can drive long XLR cable lengths, and includes a ground lift switch. The Messenger will safely block phantom power applied from a mixing board. The balanced out volume can be set with the DI Level knob. The Volume and EQ settings affect both the unbalanced and balanced out signals. Foot Switch The foot switch can be set to either bypass the EQ, or mute your signal via the toggle switch. The foot switch function affects both the line out and balanced out signals. The EQ bypass does not affect the Gain, DI Level, or HPF settings. One use of the EQ Bypass is to compare your affected and unaffected signals, helping you to determine if you have made the right EQ changes. Another use is to switch in an EQ setting for a part of a song, such as for a solo, or a song that requires a different tone than normal. Power Requirement The Messenger Jr requires a DC supply (not included). The supply must be at least 9V, but no greater than 24V. The Messenger Jr draws 25mA. The connector must be a boss style, 2.1mm barrel, center negative polarity. A 24 volt power supply may be purchased separately. The Messenger Jr does not accept a battery. Phantom power will not power the pedal, but no damage will occur if applied. Dimensions: 4.77" long x 2.6" wide

For sale, mint condition Fodera Emperor 4-string 33” scale. Price drop, now £6000 including insured shipping to UK address. This was supposed to be my dream bass but I’m not 100% in love with it and it’s an expensive bass to keep when you’re not fully committed. I ordered it in December 2021 and it arrived in April this year. I was determined to keep it but alas, we’re not to be…. No fault of Fodera’s, they surpassed my expectations (particularly with the weight), it sounds superb and plays like you’d expect from a Fodera. I’ll doubt I’ll ever own a better bass. It’s in 'as new' condition; I've barely played it. I’ll post it with UPS fully insured to a UK address; contact me for delivery overseas. If you're near to Edinburgh, you're welcome to try her out (Demeter amp & Barefaced cab). Anyway, the specs are: 4 string Emperor Bolt-on. Semi-hollow (chambered) Alder body 33” scale, 24 frets (large) Buckeye/Holly F on headstock MOP side dots Alder body Walnut curly top 3-peice maple hard rock Ebony board Classic 2+2 headstock, matching Satin finish Hipshot ultralite tuners 17.5 mm bridge spacing, Fodera custom bridge 60’s spacing Fodera/Duncan dual coils, plastic covers Electronics, Emperor 3-band Black straplocks Weight 3.7kg / 8.2 lbs

Effectrode PC-2A Tube Compressor: £210 - sold I’m selling this (again…) as I have four compressors and I really don’t need that many…. 🙄 It sounds lovely. Not much more to add than that really other than it has picky power requirements (12VDC @ 600mA - Centre positive) but comes with a power supply and it can also be powered by most Cioks pedals (with the red centre positive flex cable they provide). https://www.effectrode.com/products/effects-pedals/pc-2a-tube-compressor/ Any questions please just ask. Postage will be insured using Royal Mail.

Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS tube preamp; SolidGoldFX Beta-V preamp & overdrive; Effectrode PC-2A tube compressor. All three in excellent condition, never gigged. Price for all three includes postage to UK address. Photos for all three below the text. Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS: £395 (sold) First up, the Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS tube preamp. Lovely tube sound which can get gnarly with the gan turned up. I love it with a dirty boost running before it (Spaceman Saturn VI) and a compressor in the loop (the Cali76 was the perfect combo here but honourably mentions for the Empress Compressor and the PC-2A below if you really want a pillowy sound). I powered it with a Cioks with two outputs doubled to provide the requisite current (650mA). It comes with an unused power supply too though. There’s a tiny nick on the back highlighted in the photo with the arrow. More info here https://shift-line.com/olympic SolidGoldFX Beta-V preamp & overdrive: £145 (sold!) For me a huge improvement on the older Beta versions, certainly more versatile and allows you to find a less dark OD sound too. Only selling as I prefer the Saturn VI and OE DCX Boost in my current set-up). https://solidgoldfx.com/products/beta-v Effectrode PC-2A Tube Compressor: £210 I’m selling this (again…) as I have four compressors and I really don’t need that many…. 🙄 It sounds lovely.

Sushi Box Finally DI tube pedal Mint condition tube DI pedal with Lightning Boy Audio transformer. £225 including postage to UK address. Sold Barely used and I'm selling off a bunch of stuff. Check out the website: https://www.sushiboxfx.com/product/finally/ Finally a my basic take on a tube D.I. It takes your unbalanced guitar input and feeds it through a high-voltage tube preamp then out through a high-end DI transformer and out into a balanced XLR output. You also have a 1/4″ output up top, and you can switch between dry passthrough from the input or affected output from the preamp for the 1/4″ output. Controls: 1/4" Out Dry/Pre, Gain, Ground/Lift, Level Enclosure Size: 4.7 in x 3.7 in x 1.34 in (119 mm x 94 mm x 34 mm) Milliamp Draw: 500mA @ 9vdc Warmup, 250mA @ 9vdc After Warmup Polarity: Center-negative, like most guitar pedals Tubes: 1x 12AX7 Voltage: 9-12vdc

Mensinger Cazpar 4-String medium Scale (32’’) bass. £800 (postage included to UK address) Built by Adrian Kuban-Maruszczyk and his team in Germany. Includes insured postage with UPS to UK address. I bought this last year as a complement to a fretless version of the same bass (which I’m keeping). My aim was to go for a custom, lightweight medium-scale sort of(ish) Stingray. It originally came with a Delano MC 4 HE/S pickup but a local guitar tech swapped it with the MC 4 AL in the fretless. It’s superb condition apart from two small scuff marks underneath (see photo). Comes with an unworn t-shirt too! Specifications: Weight: 6.7lbs (3.0kg). 22 Frets, Solidbody (Alder with Eye poplar top), natural matt finish. Bolt on neck, 3-piece hard rock maple neck with ‘modern C’ profile. 40mm (1.57 inches) nut width. East Indian rosewood fingerboard with side dots and 14” fingerboard radius. I ordered it with the Joker headstock which I much prefer to the standard skinny Cazpar headstock. Delano MC 4 AL humbucker in the bridge position; Delano Active 3-band Sonar 3MS preamp. Humbucker switch (series, single, parallel). Hipshot Vintage (Steel) bridge, 18mm bridge spacing; Standard Y-Style tuners; Dunlop Flush Mount Straplok security locks. Flatwound strings; Nylon Gigbag. Any questions please fire away. If you’re near Edinburgh you’re welcome to try it.

Three great effects for sale (photos below), all prices include postage. Source Audio Zio Front End + Boost £155 Neat little preamp pedal which also serves as a boost and a tuner mute.

More details here: https://www.sourceaudio.net/zio-analog-front-end-boost.html Empress Nebulus £SOLD High quality chorus, flanger and vibrato effects in a really compact 4.5 by 3.5 inch pedal.

Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe filter pedal. £275 inc postage - sold I bought this last June direct from Iron Ether. It cost me £295 (pedal, shipping, duty, VAT and Royal Mail fee); it would now cost £378 in the UK (assuming his shipping fee is the same). It’s a superb filter, and gets a lot of love on talkbass. More details here: https://ironether.com/pedals/xerograph-deluxe/ I’m selling this for £275 with insured postage included.

A Rupert Neve RNDI in excellent condition. It's just been used at home but I have too many DIs/preamps now. I'll post it fully bubble wrapped with Royal Mail. £200 all in. Sold

Two great pedalboards I no longer need. Rockboard Duo 2.1 (soft case) - £40 (SOLD) All the details here https://www.rockboard.de/en/pedalboards/rockboard-duo-21-pedalboard-with-gig-bag-rbo-b-21-duo-b Neat little board which will take 4 to 7 pedals. This one is in great condition with no drill holes (I use 3M Low Profile Dual Lock velcro now which is amazing, this is what you can see under the board - held a Cioks DC7 and a HPF pedal; it's easy to find on amazon). I'll post it using EVRI T-Rex Tonetrunk Minor (soft case) - £35 (sold) These aren't made any more but it's been one of my favourite boards in the last few years (I have two and will keep one). It's bigger than the rockboard duo and is also deeper which is great for talker pedals (see last pic with the Cali76 on it - pedals are not for sale). This one has drill wholes for a Cioks DC5 but also the 3M Low Profile Dual Lock velcro). The bag is in great shape and it's a very solid board (more rigid than the Rockboard). The I spent ages cutting out the velcro to fit this board.... 🤪 Dimensions shown in a few photos. I'll also post via EVRI. T-Rex board
