its tempting russ that looks like a killer bass! Im really trying to stick to string basses though.....
Cheers Geoff

come on guys what basses have you got?!

just a thought,
if someone has a really serious instrument that require some cash at my end feel free to run a offer by me...

The bridge is a gotoh (or however you spell it).

I recived a lot of enquires about selling the bass but have been holding off as i havnt seen anything to replace it with yet. I have to have a bass lined up really, thats why a trade seemed like a good plan...
Thanks for all the intrest and i will try to be as quick as possible sorting sale out...
Have a good bank holiday.......

you know you want to own a piece of history!......

cheers for the pic russ, thats the one!

had a few questions about the bass. Its is passive but sounds huge, like a monster fender jazz. Its 34 1/2" scale so the b sounds great. Its been really played and i think sounds all the better for it...
Looking for a trade but would consider cash offers.....

Hi Guys,
due to recent hand problems ive decided to switch to playing 4 string basses. Im looking to trade this Fbass which was bought from the gallery, it apperently was owned by julian crampton from incognito. Its been played loads and is really worn, i think it looks better for it but this is not a mint bass. However it plays and sounds great and was set up last week (including fret dress) when i was up at overwater.
Its a passive 5 sting B-G made in 1995...
this really is an amazing bass and im sad to see it go, its quite unusal so really needs to be seen.

Im after a quality 4 string jazz bass but would also consider quality amps/speakers...

Anyone wants to try im in leeds,
cheers Geoff

these are dark times indeed!........what next the SVT! ahhhhhhhhh...dont do it!

this is a really cool bass though, ive played it several times and always loved the feel/sound....

i really like my Tom and Will double bass bag which has wheels......saying that i also have to carry a stool.......

hi guys,
ive been having serious hand problems and have been considering buying a torzal twist.

It seems like a great idea.....
cheers Geoff

owen bought a demeter preamp from me.....top bloke....

yeh it sounds great, if you are into recording or want a great PA sound then this is it. Dave holland and marcus miller both have them in their rig, so does UK's Geoff Gasgoine..........

Hi guys, im selling my retrospec juice box valve DI box, heres the stuff from the website:

ALL TUBE direct box
The Juice Box represents a major innovation and a radical departure from the way tubes have been traditionally utilized in audio equipment. retrospec's design uses no audio transformer, eliminating the problems associated with transformer based direct boxes.
The result? A remarkable unit with exceptional performance features:


Frequency Response 10hz to 100khz
Distortion 0.05%
Noise Better than 90db
Clipping +18dbm
Transient response > 1µSec (no ringing or overshoot)


The Juice Box's audio circuitry is class "A" from start to finish. That and the absence of a transformer explain the conspicuously low distortion spec. It also employs a low impedance high voltage power supply, and a D.C. filament circuit just to keep things nice and quiet.
Then retrospec took one significant step further and included enough gain and headroom to be able to drive a 10k input at professional line level. Now you can go from instrument to console channel line in or direct to tape machine in one sweet clean step! Don't take our word for it, ask the artists, engineers, producers and studio owners who have put it to the test!

i bought it from the US a couple of years ago, you can select the voltage 110 or 220, its currently got a uk plug on.
they dont make these things any more and you wont find a second hand one anywhere else!

This is off the web site:

The H Series Bass Preamp by James Demeter uses the same all tube front end found in his classic VTBP-201 Bass pre-amplifier and combines it with the revolutionary H Series circuitry found in his professional audio H Series line. This preamp provides the best of both the tube and solid state world. It features high voltage (250V) tube front end (providing all of the preamp gain and passive tone controls), a two band solid state fully Parametric Equalizer that is tuned for, bass, a fully adjustable active effects loop with controls up front, a tuner output, a full balanced output with switchable mic or line level, both a balanced TRS line level output and an unbalanced line level output for amplifier connections and a mute switch. As with all Demeter equipment it is meticulously hand wired, using the finest components and assembled in the U.S.A.

saying that there is one i can think of, Lincoln Goines has a 33" with low B. Its a fodera though!

danger,danger! ive never seen a 33" with a b, janeks 5 is E-C. I havnt seen his new 6 but ive seen loads of 34" basses with poor b strings. Id go 34" with 17mm string spacing...
good luck!
