  1. 12 String 16 series Martin guitar for sale. It was made in 2005 and I bought it in 2015 from Fellowship of Acoustics in the Netherlands. It’s a lovely guitar in both sound and to play. There are a few references to the guitar on the web people say how nice it is to play and I can confirm this. In the 10 years I have had it it’s been gigged twice and taken to less than half a dozen rehearsals. It developed a crack in the lower side of body of about 25mm quite early on. It did not increase in size as it was next to the cross bracing. I have had this repaired by a professional luthier a few months ago (details are available) and I have pictured this repair. He also set the guitar up and fitted Martin strings. There is also a ding on the bottom of the guitar. Six years ago I had an LR BAGGS Element VTC Micro Piezo fitted by a local guitar shop. It is an under saddle/preamp jack with volume and tone controls. It comes with the OHSC which is very clean. Specifications: Body Shape: Jumbo Finish: Natural Dimensions: Width: 407 mm - 16.02" Depth: 123 mm - 4.84" Body Material: Solid Mahogany Top Material: Solid Sitka Spruce Bracing: Scalloped Hybrid Bracing. Tortoise Pickguard, Black Binding, Herringbone Rosette Neck Material: Mahogany Neck Profile: Soft V Fingerboard Material: Richlite Fingerboard Radius: 16" Neck Details: Dot Inlay, Rosewood Headstock Overlay Nutwidth: 47,5 mm - 1.88" Scale Length: 645 mm - 25.4" String Spacing: 59 mm - 2.32" Bridge: Richlite Tuners. Price includes insured delivery although if you want to collect/meet up within 50 miles of Hull I can knock the delivery price off. You can see the actual guitar being demo’d by FOTA here:
  2. I’m Selling these a a job lot as it’s not worth splitting them. There is: Behringer Vintage Delay Behringer Compressor Behringer Chorus Donner Harmonic Square (octave) All three are in original boxes and have never been gigged. I will also sling in a power supply with a 5-way splitter. Includes shipping
  3. I’m reducing my gear at the moment and my Rumble 200 has to go. This has only been gigged about 10 times since I got it new in 2015. It’s got some scuffs on the right hand side but this is just paint residue from my door frames. I have 3 Rumbles (a 25w and a 100w) and am impressed with them all. Great sound, great weight and reasonable price. Specifications Electronics Wattage: 200 Watts at 4 ohms (with Extension Cabinet), 140 Watts at 8 ohms (Internal) Voltage: 230V EUR Controls: Gain, Bright On/Off, Contour On/Off, Vintage On/Off, Drive, Overdrive On/Off, Level, Bass, Low-Mid, High-Mid, Treble, Master Volume Inputs: One - 1/4" Line Out: One - (XLR with Ground Lift) Hardware Cabinet Material: Lightweight Plywood Amplifier Covering: Black Textured Vinyl Grille Cloth: Silver Amplifier Jewel: Red LED Front Panel: Painted Metal Handle: Molded Plastic Strap with Nickel-Plated Caps Speaker Speakers: One - 15" Eminence®-Designed Ceramic Magnet Speaker Total Impedance: 8 ohms I’d prefer collect/meet up within 50 miles of Hull although I can post for an extra £30
  4. A great fretless bass with a neck through body construction with double-cutaway mahogany body wings attached to a maple and bubinga neck with a fretless rosewood fingerboard with no inlays. Components include a pair of Bartolini MK-1 split coil passive pickups with independent volume controls channelled through an Ibanez custom preamp with a two-band EQ, a custom bridge with AeroSilk piezo pickups and 19mm string spacing, a plastic nut and Ibanez tuning machines. In addition to the controls on the front of the bass, there are a set of four trimpots on the rear cavity cover which allow you to dial in the piezo volume for each string individually. Strung with Chrome Flats. Weight 7.2lbs I’ve recently had a problem with the electronics (see my postings) but after a trip to a luthier in Leeds (BJ’s) it has been sorted with a new jack socket and overhaul of the electronics inside. It’s only been gigged once since I bought it in 2019. I can’t see any dings on it and I will supply this with a gig bag Price includes insured delivery although if you want to collect/meet up within 50 miles of Hull I can knock the delivery price off.

  5. I’m reducing my number of instruments and this one may be of interest to someone. The history of this one has been documented here . In a nutshell I acquired it in 1979 and used it throughout the 1980’s. I stopped playing and got a ‘proper’ job in 1988 and left it at a guitarist’s house. He had it until 2022. He’d moved 5 times with it. I picked it up and thought I’d have a project. I’m not really interested in doing anything with it now so it’s up for sale. I recently took it to a luthier who set it up and sorted out the electronics inside. It’s a neck through to bridge which should be removable but he couldn’t get it off even after removing the brass plate. It has its battle scars from the working men’s clubs of the north. It now plays great and has a set of rounds on it. The two P pickups give it a lot of power. I’ve pictured a close up of the truss rod adjustment, there is a bit of silver showing with is some masking on the electronics. There’s not a huge amount of adjustment left in the rod. Specs: Body is Walnut with maple inserts, neck is maple with walnut. pickups are Di Marzio, passive. Controls are Volume for each pickup and Tone with pickup selector. It's a 32" scale. It has a brass nut and Grover tuners. Currently strung with rounds. It weighs 9.8lbs. Let’s face it, the wood is so nice you could probably strip it, sell the hardware and make it into an attractive coffee table. Wafer thin gig bag included. I’ll even sling in a VOHALO double guitar stand with it. Price includes insured delivery although if you want to collect/meet up within 50 miles of Hull I can knock the delivery price off.
  6. Hi, If you have a look at the thread I started a few weeks back there's some great suggestions. I've had quite a lot of stands and the best one was my Ultimate which was nicked from a gig. The floor ones I don't trust as I had a bouzouki fall off on stage. Like a bass it has a long neck. I find the Hercules too bulky as with all of those with a grabber neck. The Ultimate was the best compromise between safety and folding compact. This one: https://amzn.eu/d/buVLt2S It shows the stand folded up
  7. Many thanks to everyone who has replied to this. A few months back I couldn't find an Ultimate stand but now I can. But you have given me food for thought with the alternatives. What a great place this is.
  8. What is the best bass stand? I've tried a few over the years. I like them to fold up, have a neck support (I had an instrument crash off one which just had the body support) and is light. The closest I got was called Ultimate although it was nicked from a gig.
  9. Many thanks for the useful replies to the previous posting. I managed to get a jack socket for my dead SRF700. I have given it to my local repair man and it seems that it may need a full preamp replacement. Whilst it does work now it crackles louder than the sound signal. Does anyone know where I can get one. Most of the sites I have been to don't stock them. I guess I'm looking for one of these or even the whole wiring loom. Or even if there is something I can replace it with. 😥
  10. I've still got the Jazz Dan and sadly it's taken over the P bass as my goto. This is despite much effort to keep the P. Just had it set up.
  11. Hello I have an ibanez sg 700bbf and it needs a new barrel jack. does anyone know where to get one or a substitute?
  12. Exactly. So anything by Coldplay should be consigned to the bin and Area 51 should invent an unlistening device
  13. I bought these last year as I was fed up with dragging folders of music around. This was for a folk band in which I played guitar. Before I got chance to use it live the band stopped playing. I used it for a few rehearsals but that’s about it. The clamp fits to a mic stand and holds most tablets. The footswitch is powered by a usb charged battery. It connects to tablets via Bluetooth. It has a number of functions but I just used the forward and backward pedals. The price includes postage to the UK I used it with Music Reader which is £14 per year. The full spec for both are here and here
