  1. Hi, I took these tuners off my 2016 Spector NT4 and replaced with Gotoh Gold GB707 , hence photo to show Drop In compatibility. Just home use by myself for a few months ( I bought bass new in 2018) before putting the gold set on. So excellent condition and very little use. They’ve cleaned up as well as the other same size set I’m now selling (£45) on here , just no Spector Logo on these. The diagram dimensions are accurate in the photo. I have digital calipers. Just had to change a couple of dimensions on a Wilkinson open gear diagram. £40 includes UK postage. 2L-2R Weight 238g Cheers. Quent
  2. Hi, I replaced the black tuners on my Spector Pulse II with a Gold Gotoh GB707 set. The Gold are a drop in replacement. See dimensions diagram which happens to be for Wilkinson Open gear tuners but I checked dims with my Digital Calipers so the diagram is accurate. Spector Logos are painted/printed , not a sticker. £45 includes UK postage and these were only my bass for a few days. Weigh 240g, see photo. Also selling exactly same dimension set from an older Spector NT4 but they are in excellent condition too ( £40 ). Cheers. Quent
  3. Many thanks to Doctor J who just bought my pair of G&L bass Humbuckers. Great comms and lots of patience as I updated him on delivery to Ireland from UK with Customs fees involved. Friendly throughout the deal so I can recommend Doctor J very highly. Quent
  4. Hi everybody and I hope all’s well where you are. Got misenn a nice Lakland Skyline 44-02 ( 2011 ). For variety ( got a 55-02) and to have a tone control when in passive mode I’ve had the pre swapped out by Steve at guitarlodge.co.uk ( for a 3 band Glock) so he’s checked over the LH3 and replaced the old dodgy 3 Way toggle switch with a new one for the humbucker coils ( Either or Both). Tested by Steve, this is good to go. Labelled up. The jack socket is fine and didn’t need replacing. Push Pull Vol for active/passive, pickup blend, Bass Mids Treb. He adjusted the small Gain screw ( see photo) on the Pre board to match active and passive volumes. The board’s mid frequency adjustment dip switches are set to 550 Hz but suit yourself with the options , see photo below. Really useful adjustment this. ( I nicked the photo highlighting the Gain screw so that shows the dips set at 500Hz ) Pot shafts are 6mm split and the soft touch rubbery ( with plastic inserts ) Lakland knobs are included and look hardly used. Thanks for looking. Quent
  5. Hi everyone. This is Revision 1.1 Pre Amp + Pots and switches - Still available for £40 ( Pickups now sold - hence £150 Originally) I got a G&L USA L2000 (2002 ) recently and have had it refreshed with a new preamp and pickups by local excellent bass and guitar technician Steve Barratt at guitarlodge.co.uk in Felixstowe. He’s prepared the old preamp for me to resell, replaced one faulty switch and bought a new jack socket and made all connections good. Then Tested by himself. Steve labelled the parts ( Blend is the neck/both/bridge switch ). The board is Rev 1.1 as you’ll see in the photos along with Paul Gagon’s ( Ex G&L electronics top guy) low down on the Revisions 1997 and 2011 ? but see what I extracted from Basstalk site. Very minor revisions ,he writes, and the latest (2011) Rev 1.3 has some filter to cut out possible radio interference which some players’s set ups or location can occasionally pick up. Must be rare that, because the Rev was only introduced after donkeys years from first edition preamp. £40 includes UK delivery. No knobs ( on my bass ) but Armstrong sell beauties to fit ( see photo ) aluminium, super shiny chrome finish and knurled nicely rather than pointy-style like some. Thanks for looking. Quent
  6. Meanwhile, ahead in the future by 14+ years ! WD40 just work fine this afternoon ( Put yer Marigolds on!) for meon a 3 ply plastic Tort Fender Jazz pickguard. Bought a used bass but the film had been on this guard for years I think. Wrinkled and a fiddle to pull off the film in several pieces. The whole guard had seemingly most of the adhesive left all over it. A clean cotton rag I used. Sprayed plenty WD40 on one half and rotated the rag after wiping off towards one end. Then a new rag to do the other half , working towards the other end. 2nd spray to finish it all off. Then paper kitchen towel rub down followed by warm water and washing up liquid front and back. Rinse. Looks nice n shiny. No damage to the shiny surface at all. So, +1 WD40 in Jan 2024. From total mess to shiny with 5 mins of work ( Once I got the chuffin film off - 45 really ! ) Cheers all. Quent.
  7. I just bought Gerry’s Squier Mini P and I can’t recommend him high enough to do a deal with. Great communication, packaging, price and loads of patience when the collection from him was delayed by the courier. Friendly and helpful with advice too. Thanks Gerry!
  8. Thanks for the GLWTS you guys. Yes, we’re talking Twangtastic here! Please read my Feedback. I wouldn’t say Mint of it wasn’t and without fret wear you’re really saving your money on a new one here. 3k ? Quent
  9. Hi everyone. My Stingray is in perfect condition having first been owned 2012-16 by a collector in Scotland who didn’t play. I bought it from Tom Mulraney of Hoffnine Custom Cabinets in Aidrie in April 2016. It’s had home play only with me since then and my own collection means it hasn’t been played much by me so there is no visible wear of the frets and the the body is swirl and damage free. Strung with a set of Elixir nanoweb coated nickel plated strings with plenty of life in them still. The original pick guard had minimal swirls so I’ve bought an identical 3 ply BWB guard. The original case is Mint too so opening this up you’ll see what the original purchaser saw back in 2012. The bass is currently at The Gallery , Camden, London and has been Bass of the Week there from 18th Dec until 8th Jan. I can call it back from there any time I need to and post on to you UK insured (£2000) delivery or within Europe if you pay the extra postage. (The Gallery won’t entertain anyone trying it there then buying from me.) Weight 4.2kg , 9lbs 4oz Swamp Ash Body 34 inch Scale, 41.3mm nut, Neck Radius 11 inch. Matching Headstock Neck finish Gunstock Oil and Hand-rubbed wax blend Super clean of course and I gave the dark rosewood fretboard an oil clean and fret polish recently. I took the photos in a low sun so a few reflections that look like grubby marks and a little dust looks like slight swirling but there are in fact none. Others phots at thebassgallery.com. White guard is included and the truss rod bar tool and saddles allen key. I’m lucky to have owned this beauty and it’s wonderful to play but after a few years my curiosity to try other basses needs funding. Cheers and please ask if you need more information. Quent
  10. Mark just bought my Lakland Tribute Custom PJ 44-64 and he was a pleasure to sort the deal out with. Spanning before Xmas to early Jan 24 it was easy as he paid a good deposit promptly before the balance in January as we had agreed. Thanks again for an easy sale Mark. Quent
  11. FINAL drop to £385 inc UK delivery ( £425 if you want the gigbag and D Tuner included ). Will withdraw mid January if not sold. Cheers.
  12. The Tape Measure doesn’t lie. I think it keeps getting my waste size wrong though! 🤓
  13. Big DROP to £485 now and to clarify, the bass is here with me in Suffolk ( was at The Gallery in the summer ). Some old Replies above , from summer sale, are not relevant. Make me a sensible offer. Thanks.
  14. Can you tell me the precise weight ? As in to nearest ounce please. You imply earlier that it’s heavy. What year was it made and serial number too thanks. Cheers
  15. I just bought Wellsyboy’s Yamaha BBP34 and it was as easy and friendly a purchase as I’ve had in quite a few deals! Excellent comms and help throughout. Deal with confidence! Cheers Steve and thanks again. Quent
  16. No trades at this point thank you as I need to pay off another bass. I’ll keep trying to sell it for the time being. Cheers.
  17. Hi everyone. I bought this great passive bass ( Vol Vol Tone ) new from GuitarGuitar in Feb 2017. Serial Number 160304485 - see headstock edge photo. Only occasional playing at home so no noticeable wear apart from very slight signs on some frets under the E string frets 3 to 7 ish. Only noticed this when packing and polishing the frets, oiling the board. It still has the Lakland ST/ST 45 65 85 105 round wound strings on and they’re still lively and seem to suit these powerful pickups. I don’t use st/st on my other basses but I’d stick with them on this bass. Superb P pickup and a great tone control for lots of very useable tones. I had the 3 pots upgraded to the more durable CTS pots on the advice of Steve Barratt at guitarlodge.co.uk nearby in Felixstowe. CTS are 1/4 inch shafts so Steve drilled out and shimmed the original knobs, just this year so this bass is ready to rock. It’s a dense Ash body so 10lb 5oz / 4.6kg but nicely balanced and you get the advantage of super clear tones and sustain. These earlier years of the 44-64 have the lovely white neck binding and full white pearl blocks on a super dark rosewood board in this case. The more recent years version don’t have the binding , just a dark abalone corner to each block. The pickups and hardware are the same as on Lakland’s USA models. They’re shipped back to Chicago for checking and Pleking of the fretboard ( computer aided machine levelling process using sensors to eliminate even the slightest high spots of the frets ). See photo of Plek Tag 25 May 2016. I’ve packed it up already in inner cardboard coffin type box, then packed well in usual large outer box. Please see my feedback - when 8 say MINT I mean No blemishes or swirls or tiny marks or dinks etc. Thought I was going to send it off for commission sale but decided not to, hence packed already and hence less than tip top photos but I think they show what you need. There are some pics in a low sun from last week and the bright ones were taken by GGuitar in Birmingham for me to verify it was a pukker example I was buying ( I sent two back.) Make me a sensible offer and it’s yours. You will not be disappointed! ( UK delivery only , on me.) Only selling as I’ve enjoyed it for nearly 7 years and have recently splashed out on other basses which need funding. Specs then photos.
  18. Thanks Misdee. I did resolve this ( well, WE did , after consultations above ). Easy enough to turn the small Gain screw 1/4 turn at a time, then check change in Gain. The Passive mode is just quiet. The Active mode is healthily loud, any more gain and it distorts. I’ll run it in Active anyway, which is my preference for my Active with Passive option basses. Cheers. Quent.
