These are currently £30 new on the EMG website. Less than 4 years old this came from a custom wired EMG preamp in my bass so I know it is in perfect working order but the whole 5 pot system didn’t suit my taste so I’ve had it all replaced. I’ve included a photo of the pot within the 5 pot system so you can see it’s position between Vol Pot and the EQ board, but I have now sold the other 4 pots. Please NOTE : This pot is specifically for use with EMG Active X Series pickups. It’s a B106rD tone pot , 25k. I’ll add the EMG website link to it below. B106rD VLPF pot, Variable Low Pass Filter. https://www.emgpickups.com/active-tone-vlpf.html https://www.emgpickups.com/pub/media/Mageants/V/L/VLPF_0230-0168B.pdf Comes with usual brass inserted EMG knob and one push fit / solderless connecting dual wire , shown in photo , ready to compliment an existing system. £15 includes delivery. Cheers. Quent

These 5 pots have just come out of my Jackson Kelly Marie which has EMG 40DCX ACTIVE pickups. All upgraded before I bought it recently. Bass is 4 years old so this lot are less than that. The connections are all push fit Solderless. Can be a 4 pot (£35) Vol Vol Bass Treble if you do not use the Active Tone control which is for EMG X series pickups only. ( £35 without the Tone Pot) ( £15 for the Active Tone control on it’s own inc Del ). I’ve labelled the EMG pots in my photos but it’s for active pickups and VOL VOL ( B122rH right hand ) an EMG BTS Control of two pots BASS B100 has the board with two selector switches for altering the higher frequencies of the TREBLE pot B170 . There’s a final Active Tone Control B106 25K VLPF which is specifically ( according to the EMG parts site ) for EMGs X Series active pickups. Whoever chose this set up could have put a 5 pot BQS system in ( which I’ve just had Pro fitted ) but they chose bass treble tone for some reason. It didn’t do it for me, hence the change but it does work perfectly. 5 EMG knobs with brass inserts included , 6mm. I might have to sell the Active Tone pot B106rD VLPF ( Variable Low Pass Filter) separately but the £45 includes delivery in the UK and the 5 tall knobs. EMG info states The VLPF simply attenuates high frequencies to suit your required tone . I know the whole system works having played it. Couple of photos of it in the cavity before extraction for what it’s worth. On EMG site the BTS 2 pot is around £70 and the Active Tone VLPF B106 is £30 ( corrected ) and you’re getting yer Vols and the knobs are a rip off if you try to get them. Allen key provided. So the £60 inc delivery UK is very good value. EMG links below.

Great bass and value for this “As New “ inc postage. Well worth it. I got mine exactly the same from Andos except mine is a jet black Ebony fingerboard. Version 2 like this with the upgraded pickups I see ( easier to control than than version 1 pickups but they’re fun too - still got my Sire V7 Jazza ) rolled and bound edges look and feel good too. Pre amp gives you a massive range of tones and the Tone control works in Active mode too. Passive mode gives tons of scope too. PJs are so versatile. You can even wear them in bed......or down the pub. Good Luck Selling it !

Alternatively , for fun, you can now bid for my cabs elsewhere, Ends 1pm Tues. Cheers, Quent

1. Hey HAYZNUT I’ve PMd back to you. Sign in to see it. 👍 2. Thanks Wombat. Yeh , great all round cabs and fairly neutral speakers so they show off your bass’s character to the full. 3. Enjoy your Monday drinks you lot ! 🤪

Now SOLD elsewhere . Third Price drop , NOW £240. WILL NOW SELL £120 EACH . New rig photo at end. ( Cabs only for sale ) Both cabs in excellent working and physical condition , never gigged and haven’t left the house for the 4 years since I got them. You can see from the photos they are tip top and super clean. 2 as new Neutrik Speakon to Speakon cables. I can drive an hour from Ipswich to meet for hand over or you collect from here provided paid for in advance only , in both cases. So Cambridge or Brentwood meet up for example. I won’t post these. If both sold together I’ll drive as far as A1 Peterborough Servs or M25 South Mimms Servs but £250 in advance to do that. Alternatively I’m happy to deliver to you once you’ve paid by Paypal within an hour or so of Ipswich. Social distancing of course and at £250 for my fuel. Great value for such top condition and very little use compared to battered and hard driven ones around for £100 each. Here’s the TC site specification 2x12 inch and 2X10 inch with Tweeter in both. https://www.tcelectronic.com/product.html?modelCode=HE017 Please let me know if the link doesn’t work for whatever reason. 👍 Both 8 ohm 250W with Eminence speakers and a Tweeter. Just 15.5kg each ( as spec sheet last photo ) and has superb large metal inset handles. No damage to the tough Tolex coverings or metal corners and feet all perfect and have only sat on carpet or another cab.Only very minimal bruising of the Tolex covering here and there but no tears from trying different combos and vertical arrangements in my room. Hardly used as I have another BC210 which I’ll keep and that’s enough for home. I’m keeping my BH500 TC Head because it’s so versatile, as are the cabs responding for all sorts of music. Very responsive for gentle playing as well as hard rock. No tweeter control, just adjust highs at your amp. ( TC BH500 amp has it’s own Tweeter control where you just turn it off.) First photos BC210 with the yellow card in pic. Then BC212. Cheers and hope you’re all looking forward to some freedom and a beer at the pub YES!! 😃. Quent.

You get 4 pots with this Tone Pump too. I sold one without pots for £70 early in March and as these are very sort after ( by some ) I think £100 is a fair starting price. Good luck.

Ah, hard luck BC, another will come along soon enough. Sold in under 2 hours. Good luck and keep well. Quent

Bugger. Sold it.

So am I EJ ! I might keep it ! ( 😄 ) You guys are right of course ( thanks ) these are terrific basses for build and the sheer excellence of tone and with the punch too. I’m a big fan of active EQs but when the tone pot is this effective it brings out the best from the Yamaha passive pups which have more than enough output.

Tiz indeed Tom, thanks and only 9lb 1oz. Ideal for old gits like us!

Hi all. Up for grabs is my near perfect Yamaha BB1024 in a sweet glossy finish which shows off the beautiful grain on it’s body. Only weighs 4.1kg 9lbs 1oz. Selling to make room for an incoming heavier ........BB1024! Different colour. You only live once. Everyone should have one or at least try one of these outstanding passive basses which have very powerful clear PJ pickups with Vol , 3 way pickup switch and a tone pot which gives a huge range of tones. Loads of good demos on Youtube. Serial No HQM193022 so it was made in June 2010 but has obviously not had much play (see close ups of frets ). I’ve owned it since 2017 and taken good care of it so it’s super clean and set up ready to play and had a full fretboard oil last year and a lesser oiling/ clean last week when I gave the frets a farewell polish. The photos make the board look a bit dry in places but it isn’t. Lovely subtle striped rosewood, see pics. 40mm nickel silver nut , as per fret material. Has a set of DR Lo Beams from last summer strung through body ( see 45 deg loading and special shaped / reversible brass saddles on the steel plate ). No case with this but don’t worry I’ll pack and pad very well in a coffin type bass box and pad that inside a large outer bass box. Super comfortable satin finish neck but a nice gloss on the headstock face. The only superficial imperfections are just that, there’s no damage at all to the bass and all electronics work perfectly. One tiny dink rear of body shown with Biro but it’s on a darker grain line , not even worth a drop fill. Headstock edge on shoulder near E tuner has two small dark spots within the grain by the looks. Not photographable ( I tried) are very faint signs from playing ( not swirls, more like squiggles ) below G string , twixt P pup and neck, just below, still a full gloss finish. That’s all. She’s a beauty. Good luck trying to get it and I can include a black pickguard I got from Yamaha in London which looks great to me just stuck on with those gummy removable sticker dots ( can include a few) so let me know if you want that too. ( see one pic ). All the best and enjoy the Great Jail Break on April 12th ! 🍻 😃 Yamaha BB1024 Specs Construction Bolt-On Scale Length 34'' (863.6mm) Fingerboard Rosewood Radius 10" (250mm) Frets 21 Medium - Nickel Silver Nut 40mm - Nickel Silver Neck 56.3mm at 12th fret. Body Alder 3 piece with Maple Spline Joints. Neck - 5 piece Maple/ Nato ( mahogany) Bridge Vintage Plus ( Steel plate, Angled Brass Saddles for point string contact but reversible for normal saddle top contact if preferred.) 45 degree Through Body stringing. String spacing at bridge 19mm. Pickups Neck: Split Blade (Alnico V), Bridge: Single Blade (Ceramic) Pickup Switch 3 position Toggle Switch, Bridge / Both / Neck Controls Master Volume, Powerful Master Tone. Spline Jointed 3-Piece Body: Three-piece bodies are joined together using spline joints between the center and side slabs. Made of hard maple the splines deliver richer body resonance that comes close to that of a one-piece body.

Spector Tonepump 9v preamp with built in Gain Trim Pot. Vol Vol Bass Treble . Bass and Treble pots included and original Spector knobs x4 if you want them. Very little use as it was removed from the 2017 Spector Euro LX I bought recently on this site and replaced after about a year by the previous owner who included it with my bass. It’s in Excellent condition as a result but , for clarity ,as I haven’t seen it in action I’ll be happy for you to return it if you have any problems whatsoever and at my cost to return it. Works with Active or Passive pickups but read the diagram for the different Volume Pot K values required for each. £70 includes UK signed for Delivery. The Tonepump ( from all I have read) Gain Trim Pot can be adjusted ( rotated ) to a massive gain level but consensus shows that the central 50% setting is the best starting point. The Treb and Bass are both Cut and Boost. No centre detent on the pots. Treb takes the black and yellow pair of wires, 100K (A) pot. Bass pot 10K (C) takes the green and purple with black to back of pot. Please see my photos which agree with other photos with this combo of wire colours. The black and white pair at the end of the preamp are for the nearest pickup. You can see from the diagram that the first 3 wires at the other end of the unit go to Battery , Jack and Ring. No other diagrams available with this exact wire colour combo that I can find. The smudgy mark on the unit casing is just the remains of the adhesive pad it was originally secured with in the rear cavity. Thought best to leave it as it didn’t want to be peeled off easily. If you have any questions ( Non Technical! ) please ask. A quick Google search ( then click Images Tab at the Top) will bring up lots of other images of the wiring. The 7 photos on piece of card are of my Tonepump. I’ve added a couple of others from Google with the same wire colours in case it assures you. Meanwhile I hope you are well there. Best of luck.

Up for grabs are these excellent Audio Technica ATH-M50X Gun Metal Silver/Grey colour (GM) finish headies which are great for bass giving a neutral in my opinion and coping fine when your EQ is cranked up whether Bass Mids or Treble. I have very big ears , not wanting to blow my own trumpet of course! My flappers don’t quite snuggle easily into the ear pads and although the pads are comfy you need to get things just right. Fine as on ear if you like that. At GAK going at £115 now and all the Specs are there if you quick search , sorry, tried to copy and paste just now but it’s not pasting for some reason? . My £75 includes UK delivery. I’ll pad around the good box shown too. Also Search on audio-technica.com for “ ATH-M50X headphones “ , for some reason I my Copy Paste of the link isn’t working on here. Note the two adapters, one screw fit one push in and that fact the one cable end to the phones is a twist lock secure design so you need to get that right when you first use them. From Earole center to earole centre my noggin measures 17 inch , 43cm over the top with a tape and there’s an inch or two more adjustment with the band so these will fit a massive nut. They’d fit me if I wasn’t picky about the over ear factor. Maybe cos I wear specs, pressure points and all that. Anyway, I got these 2 years ago , they haven’t seen the light of day since apart from a couple of test sessions so they are Brand Spanking, if you like that kind of thing. 🤭 Thought of giving as a gift or selling locally but never got round to it. As I said, these are in Perfect Condition so you’re saving £45/50 quid on gak price as I’m paying for delivery. Better PM me quick then ! Hope you guys are well and not too troubled by Covid situation but I know a lot are. All the best to you and yours. Cheers. Quent

Hi Andy, that’s fine to use my Sire V7 description, no probs. Great price here with delivery you guys and it’s in really great nick as per photos and a beautiful bass. I was so impressed I got a P7 as couldn’t justify having 2 fretted Sires. (Though I do have a white V7 fretless fiver ! Gorgeous too.) Cheers, Quent

Thanks Ebenezer geezer. Yep, priced to sell and can’t lose anymore. Free UK Delivery. Stonking bass and very versatile. Cheers.
