Nothingman

Andy wiped away my tears and relieved me of my Jack Casady bass. 
 

To comfort me, he made me a mattress of crisp bank notes and left me to slumber. 
 

Great chap, great to do business with. 
 

Recommend 

Sold Ian a set of tuners. 
 

Quick payment, great coms, extremely smooth transaction. 
 

Happy days. 

A timely video for me. 
 

I have it in my head that I need to get a player/Mexican fender. However top brass Squier (modded over time) may be a better option. 
 

is it CV/VM that we top of the range? 

Bump.

Owning this bass can will make you sexier. 
 

This spec will retail at £435

Think I’ve sorted it….

Lets see how it behaves in the morrow 

I’m borrowing a Steinberg UR22 interface and using with Mac Book Pro.

However, playing anything back is all broken up. 
 

Logic, Spotify, you name it. Headphones and monitors. 
 

it sounds like something is struggling. 
 

Has anyone ever experienced similar? 
 

For Sale - Gotoh Machine heads. 

Quick Google would suggest these are GB707's but I am not 100% sure. 

Purchased about 15-20 years ago for a project that ended up abandoned. However they are unused. 

Unboxed, as seen. 

Price includes postage. 

Questions, just ask. 

For Sale - Pedals part of the clear out cull. 

BOSS LS-2 - £45  SOLD

EHX Bass Big Muff - £40

Mooer Baby Tuner - £25

Little Bear R.Attack - £20

Joyo (Harley Benton) British Pre-amp - £15  SOLD

Al prices subject to offers. 

All pedals are well used and sold as seen. 

They have been stuck velcro and been on a board so rubber backs and/or feet have been removed. LS2, Joyo and Baby Tuner all come with rubber backings. e 

Might have boxes for Big Muff and LM2 but no promises. Will send if they are found. 

Pedals all tested and working. 

I am guessing at £5 postage per pedal. 

Questions, just ask. 

The Beast. 

I have made the difficult decision that it is time to move this bass. 

This beautiful bass was purchased, secondhand, from The Bass Gallery in October 2018. 

The resonating sound and feel of these basses have really struck a chord with me. Plus, ebony is the best colour for these models. 😁

You know them well, I shouldn't need to tell you too much about them - I hope! 

So why am I selling it?

Quite simply I wanted to be a P-Bass owner again. This bass was ideal for the work I was doing when I purchased and has served me well. However, I have got to the point where I need 1 bass so have sold a bunch a gear (and more to come) and this will be a victim of a cull. 

A few notes:

• I have removed the scratch plate and disc that sits under the impedance dial. I feel it looks better naked, like this, but have kept both to be reapplied. Plus, the way I play means I wanted enough room to strum like a loon. 
• There is a small chip (pictured) on the top edge of the upper cutaway. 
• Small amount of buckle rash. Again, pictured but just ask for more pics. 
• Split in lacquer between neck and fretboard and stretches from nit to the dot on 3rd fret. This is quite common for JC basses and is purely superficial. 
• Strung with 105 gage Rotosounds. 

I don't have a hard case but will include the RockTIle bag. It is a great bag and good for bigger bodied basses like this. Here is a bit more about the case. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/18061328739913425178?q=rocktile+bass+case&prds=epd:5915013972872323700,eto:5915013972872323700_0,prmr:1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjn2qqhkpr0AhXBYMAKHZqZD4AQ9pwGCAU

I really don't want to post this, without a hard case, so looking for local pickup. 

Based outside Harrogate in North Yorkshire (HG5).

Now for trades. 

Like I said, I am looking for 4 string P-basses only. Looking for Black, white, natural (no sunburst) - something classic looking. Don't want P/J style, just straight forward Precession, MIM or similar I think is a fair starting point. Will accept a little project for a slightly better model. 

Let me know if you have any questions. 

P.S. Will be listed on eBay. 

£275 if it goes this in next fortnight with pickup. 
 

I’m in a bit of bind so could do with getting shot.

You will not find a better cab for the price. 

Price drop to £300. Offers welcome if you come and get it pronto. (Or a cheeky trade on a p bass) 
 

Needs to be gone. 

Hi everyone, 

New to drum plugins but I am looking for some recommendations for a free one to try out on some stuff I am working on. 

An all rounder would be good but this particular project needs some ambient/synth stuff. 

Any suggestions?

@Nothingman Any tips for stripping the sunburst finish - heat gun, sanding, pealing? I've a PB50 that I'm about to do similar things to. 

The sunburst was easy to get rid of. Apparently came straight off with heat gun. Black round edges needed sanding as that bit is painted.

Anyone near Shepperton... HB50 in Red... listed at £60... Gonna be half price with all the import tax bollox... If only it were closer...

https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/harley-benton-vt-series-bass/1395284593

I’d grab that if I wasn’t 200 miles away. Bargain.

If it's the ones sold by earlpilanz, they are the perfect fit.  I provided both types of scratchplate so he could make the templates 👍

yes! thats the one. Looks like you are the oracle, gonna need to tap you up for my HB50 addiction. 

Cheers @kodiakblair keep flipping between the 2. Completely undecided.

found some on eBay go HB so might get a couple and see them on in the flesh. 
 

Then I’d could get another bass to do up. 😏

Been slack on the updates. 
 

But got the ‘Slab’ back last night and gave it the best amateur set up I could. 😬

Don’t think the photos really bring out the colour but it’s a lovely vintage cream with a hint of yellow. 
 

Mate did a bit of a re-wire too, stripped a little off the neck, oiled it up etc. 
 

Now, as you can see from my amazing photoshop skills, it I need to make a decision on pick guard. Stuck between black and dark red tort, with the tort ahead by a nose at the mo. 
 

Was never going to be a high end refurbishment but a quick sprucing up. 
 

As mentioned earlier, I was hoping to shadow him and learn how to do this myself. COVID put that idea to bed. 
 

However, now I’ve got the bug to work on more projects and learn a bit about refurbishing basses. I’m pretty useless with stuff like this, but I do love a challenge! 
 

Best start searching the Market place for some cheap beat up bodies.
