I used the 20 quid behringer whammy clone pedal for years... I only needed the effect for about 20 seconds of the set so was a bit reluctant to spend a fortune. Done the job perfectly! 

Don't get me wrong, it didn't feel premium in in shape or form, but didn't feel like it would fall to bits! 

Ive had loads of behringer stuff over the years, bass amps, guitar amps, mixers etc... I wouldn't have a problem buying behringer in the future!

Absolute bargain.

Ok... £1000.

Happy to move on price on this by the way.  I'm happy for this to go to someone who will use it, rather than it sit in a box in my house.

Would consider partial trade on small headphone amp (Behringer p1 type thing)

Sold! 

Well gigged but in perfect working order. Absolutely rock solid too. Comes boxed with the 9v adapter. 

Happy to post for £13. Otherwise, collection from Glasgow.  Happy to meet within a reasonable distance.

Lovely bass. From the Bacchus 'cheap' line but still a mighty fine bass. Only selling because I'm, putting my money towards something different. This comes with a lovely gig bag and pick up cover. The neck pickup is epoxy resin filled, however this is entirely reversible by just buying a £3 pickup cover. Cant see any major dents but of course has the normal age related marks.  The bridge pickup cover is a replacement and not a direct match to the neck pickup cover, 

only willing to offer as collection, however happy to meet up an hour or so from central Scotland.

Price drop: £900

I'm gutted about this but this one needs to go. The

easiest bass to play that I think I've ever played. I'm only selling because I'm needing something more conventional. If I could afford to have this along with another premium bass, I would. 

Anyone who's tried an ACG will tell you how good they are. This ones currently stringed with Ernie Ball P02832 Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Bass Set, .050 - .105, which are very nice. 

There's a few playing scuffs here and there, but no dents. 

I'm only happy for collection on this, central Scotland, but I'm happy to travel an hour or so each direction, if a deal can be struck.

Sale only. 

Edit: will consider trade for yamaha 2024x (money your way)

I started wearing war protectors pretty any where where the loud noise.. Even at gigs I'm there to watch! Might not be cool but it's not worth the risk! Plus, things just sound better when the sound is controlled a bit! 

For those hunting down a case for the Stomp, I've picked this up off amazon for £11.99 and it's perfect.

It's obviously quite lightweight but more than adequate to ensure the unit doesn't get knocked about when popped into the front pocket of my bass case along with loose cables and all the other random bits and bobs.  Enough space for the stomp, power supply, and a few other bits and bobs.  

My mate got one so I've had a go. Loved it. And with more bands going towards iems I think there's a definite growing market for it. Too expensive for me, but as others have said, if it was more around 150, then I'd definitely consider it. 

I must admit, I had some initial concerns over the complexity of it. Butnow I've got it set up how I like it.. With the 3 pedals being assigned to 3 individual blocks within one preset, that's my live bass rig sorted and it's pretty easy to navigate. 

I still canr get over how good the guitar stuff sounds. Quite astonishing! 

Picked up a helix stomp yesterday. First impressions is that it's brilliant. particularly the reverbs sound lush and rich! Not really delved too much into it yet but I'm very excited to gig it. Bass wise I don't do much with effects, so it's mainly going to be used for its preamp options, so I think I'm more excited for the guitar side if thing. 

I think the knobs and buttons feel a bit flimsy though. I have a slight worry somethings going to fall off!

It does include all materials, if you want specific things there may be additional cost.

Wow, that seems excellent!

The course I went on - a class of three costing a grand - is restricted to doing a Fender style bass or guitar (Strat, Tele, P or J). One bloke built a strat with a pair of humbuckers, so there is a bit of flexibility. There's also a 1:1 course, which I think costs from £1700 and you can basically do what you like.

He's a very accomodating bloke - definitely worth dropping him a call or email.

George

I'd assume materials are not included in that price as that seems stupidly cheap? 

Love this! 700 quid in early 70s? Couldn't you buy a house for that? 😂😂

One more thing - did you pay by credit card? Is so, then the credit card company is jointly and severally liable under S75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. You can raise it with them. This protection doesn’t apply to debit card payments unfortunately. It’s always worth using a credit card in these situations even if you intend to pay the credit card in full immediately. 

Well only if there's a breach or misrep. Your bank (whether its a cc or a debit card) will do a charge back if they believe there's a good prospect of success first. 

Did you get a receipt at the time? 

Not 6 string, but I strung a 5 string EADGC. didn't like it though as ultimately most of the playing gets played on the E and A strings and I found the stretch to the E where the B would normally be too much like hard work. 

If youre a soloist and the majority of you're playing will be in the higher strings then it makes more sense. Not for my style of play though

A good common sense approach. And very very true! I think it would be impossible to not nick ideas from other people... Knowingly or unknowingly! It's just the way the world of music works! 

This might be a bit controversial but I think sets go on just a bit too long! Im almost akways ready to go up the road before the encore! I know we pay alot for tickets these days so we probably want more for the money, but personally I'd rather it to be slightly short, rather than going on too long! 

Slightly amusing anecdote. 

My band Wrap Party did a video during lockdown of God gave rocknroll. We did the whole get millions of people to sing the chorus and overlay the video with all their videos kinda thing.... We did it before everyone started to do it.... Anyway... It was then when someone told me it was a cover.. My mind was blown. 

Few weeks later we were contacted by the editor of the newsletter for russ ballard asking if we'd want included in the next newsletter cos russ thought it was great! Probably distributed to about 60 people but still quite cool! 

Aye, he's talking stinky poo. You're due your money back anyway whether or not it's true. 

My acg medium scale! Bought just before lockdown when I had plenty of gigs in the diary! Can't wait to give it a proper run out! 

Can I rejoin the BB club please? With this wee number:

BBG4sII in white.

Theres a story to this. My Dad and I visited sound control in glasgow around 96 looking for my first proper bass. I had been playing a cheap p bass copy which was OK but i wanted something a bit special. I picked this out, and my mum and dad got it for my christmas. Regrettably, around 6 years later, i thought it would be cool to put a bass trem on it,  strip the paint, then defret it! I also painted a red stripe on it. I then sold it on ebay. 

Anyways, I've been hunting another one down for years for nostalgia sake, but it seems they mostly came in different colours other than white. This one came up on Facebook marketplace so had to go for it! 

Getting this in my hands make me regret mutilating the original even more! It's actually a very capable bass! feels great to play, and the hardware is solid. Sound-wise lets it down slightly. possibly because I'm used to having a mid EQ, but because it only has bass treble you're kinda limited - but it's easily giggable, which hopefully i will soon!

I love it. brings back some seriously nice memories of jamming to tunes in my bedroom, through my hifi, with my big earphones. I wonder if theres some muscle memory going on which makes this feel better than it actually is, because I played this ALOT! haha

Headphones arrived... had a quick look... one of the cable reliefs to one of the ear cups was loose and required pulling down to secure. No QR Code on the box... mmm i wonder if they are genuine? I've messaged the seller and sent a pic, so waiting on a response before contacting eBay etc.

Gave em a quick try and they work, but gonna give em a proper try on the MP3 player...

Just thought i'd post - as ever - buyer beware.

That's ashame. Post a photo if you can be arsed il compare them to mine to see if they're fake or not 

I used to have one of these. Brilliant bass. Loved the neck.
