  1. Up for sale is my Harley Benton HBO - 850

     

    Bought this a couple of years ago, they compete pretty well with most acoustic basses at a fraction of the price and rightly have a decent rep.

     

    Comes with the Labella black nylons in very good condition and the Sadowsky neotech strap which works with this bigger bodied instrument. I did lightly sand the back of the neck as the finish was a bit rough and blocky when it arrived, now nice and smooth but you can see where the original finish colour has been removed (lighter streaks). Tuner and pre all functioning.

     

    Collection only on this or close meet (further by arrangement for the price of fuel).

  2. Having some problems with an active passive switch - crackle's and intermittent output.

     

    Tried Deoxit D5 a couple of times but made little difference so think it needs replacing.

     

    Anyone able to tell me the type of switch/part I should be ordering and any recommendations on suppliers of the part? It's the one on the left in the picture (although it looks to be the same component for the active/passive and the mid switch). 

     

    Any help appreciated.

  3. Up for sale a stunning Sei NJH 5 string.

     

    Top - Claro Walnut

    Body - Ash with Bubinga tone block

    Neck - Flamed Maple and purpleheart

    Fretboard - Curly Bubinga

    Pickups - Kent Armstrong

    Preamp - Noll 3 band Active

    24 Fret

    34" Scale

    18mm String Spacing at the bridge

    47mm at the nut

    Weight between 4 and 4.2 Kg

    Hiscox hard case (one bent latch) older but functional

     

     

    A lovely bass to play, powerful pickups and a very responsive pre amp gives lots of scope. For me it's not a turn it all up to max and let rip sort of bass but one to give a bit of attention to dialling in and then it will sing with an articulate and clear sound. Condition is very good with a few small cosmetic marks in the finish on the body and end of headstock shown in the pics. Finished in gloss but the neck is satin. Balance (seated or on a strap) and fretboard access is as good as it gets, great weight and ergonomics make it very comfortable to play. Currently strung with LaBella black Nylon but happy to swap for some nickel rounds if preferred.

  4. Up for sale is Ped's Celinder J-Update   £2500

     

    Please see his advert (with his kind permission) for good photos and sound samples. I will get some more pics at the weekend, condition is unchanged. I've raised the action a fraction at the bridge and changed the strings. Only used by me in home studio. 

     

    It is a beautiful instrument but hasn't usurped my go to 5's. It's too much bass not to be getting used and I'm trying to avoid getting a collection (again!). 

     

    Happy to listen to trades. Amp wise only a Hellborg Warwick Pre would tempt. For me to add funds it would be for a Smith BSR 5 or Lefay 5. Part trades just let me know what you have got.

     

    I'm based either near Bury St Edmunds or Oundle/Peterborough. Happy to meet for hand over, comes with hard case but courier would be at your cost and risk (I'd need to sort a box too).
