    Just met with Charlie to sell him my 5 string Jabba bass. Communication, meet up and payment all absolutely hassle free and he's a really nice guy to boot. Great to meet you today Charlie, I hope you enjoy the bass!
  2. Thanks for all the interest today guys, bass is now on hold pending collection tomorrow.
  3. Hi Guys, I'll get some quotes on delivery for France later this evening! Thanks
  4. OK Guys, I really want to move this bass on so new pricing. £825 - collected without hardcase £890 - delivered in the UK with hardcase
  5. Brand new, never fitted - bought these for my custom bass but ended up going for standard Jazz pickups. 1x DC4n-par 1x DC4b-par Bart BC cover size, 19mm spacing £210 including insured delivery to a UK mainland address.
  6. Basschat is a real f**ker for the stirring those feelings of discontent and fuelling the need for more, better shiny new gear!! I think I've hit a (probably short lived) feeling of zen around my current bass gear. I've concluded that I don't need more than 2 basses, that I don't want an electric guitar anymore and that my bass amp is perfectly adequate for my current needs. The Helix has also solved all my pedal needs so I'm not even thinking about drive and fuzz pedals! Everything else is for sale. In the unlikely event I join a new band playing large outdoor gigs then I may get a new DI pedal and upgrade the amp to something more capable but for rehearsals, playing at home and local pub gigs the 30w tube amp is plenty. It's a great feeling, I hope it lasts!!
  7. Dude, come on! How often do basses come up literally just round the corner - they're always up North some where or right down in south east London. 3.3kg P style bass just 20 mins down the round. Surely worth popping over to take a look and perhaps a noodle in the back yard through a headphone amp.
  8. Your Shuker is beautiful, I've had a look at it many times and I'm surprised it hasn't gone.
  9. Gretsch G5620T-CB Excellent condition No trades I'm afraid. Collection or meet up within reasonable distance of WD17 please as I dont have a hard case. I will provide a rather old a rockbag acoustic case for this guitar. Levy's neoprene strap included.
  10. ⁹ No trades I'm afraid. Collection or meet up within reasonable distance of WD17 please as I dont have a hard case.
  11. Fender Standard Stratocaster Plus Top Guitar is in really good condition, the only thing to note is that towards the top of the rosewood strip on the back of the neck it doesn't feel quite flush with the rest of the neck.

  12. Just weighed it on the digital scales. Came in at around 3.35kg
  13. I'm selling my Sandberg VS4 to consolidate my bass collection - I bought this last year as a backup bass for my VT4 but I don't play it very often and not being in a band I don't have a need for a backup. Condition is very good - I changed the stock pickup to a Nordstrand NPJ4V for a more vintage vibe, to me it improved the tone massively - if you don't want this let me know and I'll take it out and swap it for the Delano pickup from the VT4. When I initially replaced the pickup it was quite noisy which ended up being a shielding issue. I had to use a fair amount copper tape to resolve this, not my best work but it was effective. Picture included if what's going on underneath the pickguard. Currently strung with La Bella Low Tension flats. I believe this is the relevant specification Body: alder Bolt-on neck: maple Fretboard: Rosewood Nut width: 39.5 mm Scale: 34" 22 Frets 2-Band active / passive EQ Master volume-, treble- and bass controls Treble control is Tone control in passive mode Chrome hardware Tortoise pickguard Sandberg lightweight machine heads Colour: 3-Tone Sunburst Schaller S Locks Includes Sandberg gig bag Made in Germany No trades I'm afraid. Collection or meet up within reasonable distance of WD17 please as I dont have a hard case.
  14. I'm looking for a new acoustic guitar, if you have a Faith Neptune Legacy on offer I might be tempted.
  15. Good Morning BC folks. I've decided this bass has to go - the puppy chewed up the original Mayones softcase so I need to get a new one and it may as well be a hard case. Therefore I will now offer shipping to a UK address at buyer's expense (booked via Interparcel).
  16. Cheers for the advice Dave. I can comfortably get down to two basses but when it came to it this morning I couldn't contemplate parting with the Sandberg VT4 - so I guess that one is a keeper. The 2 electric guitars I have never play and they aren't expensive instruments, a mexican strat and fairly cheap Gretsch hollowbody - easily replacable if I ever missed them. I want to keep an acoustic 6 string though and upgrade my current one, funded by the bass cull perhaps.
  17. I stumbled across this thread this evening just as I was thinking about my modest collection of 4x basses, 2x amps, 3x guitars etc. contemplating what to do with them. I received my custom J bass earlier this year, quit my band in 2019 and have no intention of joining anything serious again in the near future. So I ask myself why do I need more than the one custom instrument? I really like the idea of just focusing on the Shuker and letting go of all my GAS to spend more time playing and less time browsing the for sale section for a Sadowsky I can't afford and don't need. Experimenting with different pickups, string choices etc. Is more than enough to keep me occupied. The Shuker plays as well, if not better, than the other basses in my collection and it really covers a lot of ground tonally with the passive tone control and active bass / treble onboard EQ. I don't play metal and I can't see a Jazz style bass, even one with an elaborate wood finish and tweaked body styling, being out of place in any funk, jazz, blues or rock setting. I believe I've just talked myself into selling off all my other gear.
  18. Me too, love these strings on my P. I've tried loads of different brands and gauge of flat wound string, including some other La Bella offerings, but these have been my favourite for that old school sound. My second favourite were Ernie Ball Group III's in 45-100. For my more modern sounding PJ it was Ernie Ball Cobalt flats 45-100, however I've switched back to rounds and La Bella RX in the same gauge. I've tried 105's a few times and I didn't get on with them, just too stiff under the fingers for me.
  19. I exclusively use my VS4 in passive mode and swapped the stock large pole pick up out for a vintage voiced nordstrand - absolutely love how it it sounds now. thinking of doing the same with my vt4
  20. Evening Chaps, rather than start a new band name thread I figured I'd jack this one that Bubinga5 started last year. I've been missing playing with a band in recent months and earlier this week I had an idea for a new project I'm really excited about. I came up with a name for it this evening that I really like and think works well for this thing but when researching it I found a band up north formed last year with the same name. What are the collective thoughts on just going with it anyway? After all they are up North and I'm in the South East, musically we'dbbe reasonably different and I'm not looking to start the next big thing touring the UK and Europe, low key and local is really all I'm looking for.
  21. Apparently my local studio has reopening in the last week, with appropriate social distancing and cleaning routines introduced. Maybe some where near you is doing the same! Out of interest where are you looking for guitarists, JoinMyBand or some where else?
  22. I'm still in, though sadly that's because I've barely touched the bass or logged on to basschat in the past few months. Lockdown seems to have dulled my enthusiam
  23. My first bass amp was an Eden EC10 combo. I really loved it, well made and sounded great but I found it lacked power and features for jamming with a band so moved it on to fund a GK MB500. Now I have a few proper gigging rigs I kind of wish i still had it as a living room practice amp. Rather than the GK head I'd rather have got the Eden WTX 500 but it was a little out of my price range at the time. For some reason the Terra Nova range never really appealed to me (looked bulky and heavy), I don't know much about World Tour Pro range.
