Currently strung with "Galli" nickel strings of 105/85/65/45 gauge. HISTORY: I've sold few basses over the years, usually to order. This one (of 3) was made for a friends' shop that was branching into guitar sales. After some success in the lower end market he asked about custom basses. However, 18 months ago after I had started the bass, the shop's business took a bit of a dive so no possibility of selling them there. I am a pro bass player and play fretless bass 99% of the time which due to the lack of decent fretless instruments in the past, is how I started building fretless basses. I was introduced to bass design/building some years ago by way of a conversation with Melvin Hiscox. Melvin is a builder/repairer and has written a book on the subject of guitar building. I have since used my fretless basses for 15 years now for concert touring/gigs/recording and I also occasionally build to order for other players. They usually sell at £1150-£1250 depending on hardware/pickup specs. The bass is set up and played in a little at home and re-setup before handing over. This bass has been set up for over a year now. As the bass is UNLINED, side dots denote where the frets would normally lie. I have previously cleared with Basschat moderators on selling "new" basses and I do donate from any proceeds. The instrument can be seen in NE Hants/Bordon/Farnham/Hindhead area.[/quote] BUMP

[quote name='fryer' post='1092680' date='Jan 17 2011, 04:21 PM']I've had this since the 60's. Condition, well, umm, used. It hasn't been used for at least 40 years. It has the original Goodmans 18", Audiom 91 speaker, which still works. I know I should state a price, but I've no idea what it is worth. Any ideas ?[/quote] Maybe call these people, they seem to have a load of old stuff, some for sale. Hiwatt 4x12 for over a grand.

[quote name='djc63' post='1050316' date='Dec 7 2010, 10:55 AM']Having recently upgraded to an amplifier with an in-built compressor, I have decided to sell my EBS multi-comp compressor pedal. It is in good condition and everything works perfectly. There are a couple of 'tiny' chips in the paint here and there, but these in no way affect the performance of this great compressor. I no longer have the box for it, but I will pack it up well for posting or you can collect from my home in Chatham, Kent. I am asking £75 for it, with free postage within the UK. Thanks for looking.
