    I"m selling my mint condition PJB Flightcase 150 in stunning red. I've owned this for about 6 months and it's left the house once. In fact, I've barely played it because I also own an AER amp that suits my needs more (it's louder, but much much heavier). These are exceptional amps and this one is as new. I have all the original packaging, instructions etc. Looking for £500. Specs are: 150watt RMS amp Switchable Active / Passive input 5-band EQ Optical Limiter Headphone Output Tuner Output Pre-amp Line Output Balanced Line Output FX Send & Return Four Internal 5-inch Proprietary PJPS Speakers Dimensions: 13.6″ H x 12.6″ W x 15.75″ D (345x320x400 mm) Weighs only 24 lbs / 11kg AC Voltage: 100 – 240 Volt / 50 – 60Hz Slip on cover included Couple of images below, but let me know if you need any more. Not interested in trades and would prefer pickup (so you can test it), but can courier if necessary. This is a tough one, but a huge tax bill and Christmas expenditure means that something needs to give...

    I had a late 70s Fender in wine red and it weighed about twice what a normal bass should. Perhaps someone should develop a ‘Bass BMI’, giving is all a convenient shorthand for whether a bass is heat or not.

    Now £30

    They all sound the same to the audience, but they often sound different to us

    What a shame. I saw a serviceable Les Paul copy are a dump once but the guys wouldn’t let me salvage it.
  14. Burns-bass
    Some sold now. What you see in the top post is still available. If you want them let me know and ill do a great price for sale time.
  15. Burns-bass
    Still here. Any offers? These are beautiful strings just a little too thick for my thin fingers.
  16. Burns-bass
    I’ve been there too a few years ago and they were very friendly and helpful too. Nice guys and a nice shop.
  17. Burns-bass
    List updated. Come on guitarists, don't be shy!
  18. Burns-bass
    I'm really sorry, it's been sold.
  19. Burns-bass
    Bump!

    PJB stuff is great, but it can struggle for power. My Briefcase amp is great for jazz, but I"d not bother taking it to a rock gig, however small. I love my little 150 combo, but I got it in the Guitar Guitar sale. Had I paid full price I would have been disappointed. Personally, I'd stick with Aguilar unless you play small gigs, or go for bespoke handmade cabs (as Chris suggests).

    Apparently Keith Richards has 3000 guitars so that explains a good few years of global production! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Richards

    Many people have an emotional relationship with high-value vintage Fenders. You can’t have it both ways! Some people like new instruments, others old ones - there’s room for us all in the bass playing world. As for what happens with my basses when I die, I hope my children want them and if they don’t then they can sell them/

    Interestingly, many high-value classical instruments are owned by investment houses, but they loan them out to players to keep them in circulation and allowing us all to enjoy them.
  24. Burns-bass
    If you buy them and love them, then where’s the harm? If you’re speculating on collectibles (whether guitars, comics, records etc.) then there’s always a risk that fashions could change. Spare a thought for all those rich collectors who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for late 50s Les Pauls... They’ve not recovered in value and that’s over a decade now.

    Problem with that is that, unlike gold, there’s no real intrinsic value to a bass. My dad could never understand why my vintage Fender is worth thousands of pounds more with a battered finish and rusty screws. When confronted with this, it’s surprisingly difficult to argue. The value of an old Fender will wane as future generations see them for what they are, working instruments rather than investment pieces. There’s a small pool of people willing to pay £10k for a pre-CBS jazz, and that number will drop by at least a few every year until there’s nobody. These instruments aren’t particularly rare, but , they are scarce. Middle aged (and older) men are hoarding instruments. In the past, you’d have a bass, maybe two. Today, as people on here can attest, a lot of people have many more. When we shift off this planet they’ll come up for sale more often, reducing their prices. Add on to that the high likelihood of inter-generational conflict, a deep and damaging recession that economists forecast will make 2008 look like a mere statistical blip and prices could come down sooner than we think.
