Let me check and I'll DM you. Pete

It's always a crime scene when I play!

Is that a monogrammed cable? Very cool!

Dead right! Owing to illness, I've only taken it out of the house a couple of times, but the tone is superb - off the scale - quite apart from the amazing oomph. I haven't used it with a fretless, but that's because I'm useless with them!

Yes Dan. Sorry for the slow reply. It cost me £70 including shipping at the end of March and hasn't been used, hence the price for the total package.

Here's my little One10. These are wonderful cabs. If you’ve never tried one, you will be shocked by how much volume they put out and by the crispness and clarity of their tone. This may be the baby of the Barefaced range, but it’s a serious contender, whether for small-scale gigs (or bigger ones when paired with another Barefaced cab), studio use or practice at home (it may be a bit loud for the latter, but it would be a shame to deny yourself the chance to hear one just because of that!). This is in near-mint condition – no tolex peel, just a few tiny marks that are very difficult to see either in person or in a photo. I also bought a Barefaced cover which I’m, well… not exactly throwing in, given it cost me 70-odd quid, but certainly offering at a much-reduced price. It is very cool, though. I can post this insured at your expense or you can try it out and enjoy tea and biccies by collecting from Mapperley in Nottingham.

That's very cool.

Man, you're getting rid of some great amps!

I recently upgraded to a proper Höfner hard case, so this very well-made and protective gigbag is now surplus to requirements. As you’ll see from the pix, it’s in mint condition (it’s been out of the house probably fewer than a dozen times) and is really well padded, perfect for any of the Höfner violin basses – the proper 500/1, the 500/1 HCT or the Chinese-made Ignition – or indeed for the 500/2 Club basses. The current Artist Line bags have a slightly different design, as they don’t offer the handy net pocket on top of the main storage pocket, which itself is big enough for a laptop, iPad or A4 sheet music, plus cables, tuner, etc. Thomann retail the current model at £48, so this is a bargain at £30, plus postage – I have a perfect box – or you can collect from Mapperley in Nottingham (tea and biscuits always available!).

I bought this awesome pedal from @Dons of this parish a few weeks ago (who I thoroughly recommend if you find yourself doing business with him), but I’m moving it on as it’s rather too big for use on my desk when cabled up, and bought a much smaller plastic Chinese one instead. The replacement would never withstand gigging use, but does the job in my home studio. The RC20XL, on the other hand, is built like a tank and can be used for looping vocals as well as your bass, because it has a manual anmicrophone input. It’s boxed and comes with all the bells and whistles, including the manual and a very useful library of backing tracks on CD. You can use it mono or stereo and also link it to up to three footswitches – very useful add-on - using the very popular/common FS-5U or the dual FS-6. Liran (Dons) has very kindly allowed me to use his original post and pix, as nothing has changed since I bought it from him, and I’m selling it on at the same price I paid, £70 plus postage. Collection from Mapperley in Nottingham also available, with free tea and biscuits! I can tuck in a spare FS-5U footswitch, if you want it, for an extra £15 (s/h ones usually go for about £20 on Fleabay). I’m afraid it didn’t come with a power supply, but it uses six (6!) AA batteries, which I’ll throw in for free.

Transparency alert: I bought this in an auction a few months ago, when I was on the lookout for a P to mod as a backup for my Shuker JJB, but I’m not going ahead with that project now, so it’s surplus to requirements. The pickup has never been used, as far as I can tell, and still has the clear plastic protecting the covers – see pix – and comes with fixing screws and wiring diagram, as shown. Judging by the YT video I’ve linked to, it creates a really warm, rich and deep tone, but as I’ve never used it, I can’t really provide direct observations. These are around £135 new. Get yourself a bargain for £70 collected (from Mapperley in Nottingham – free tea and biccies!) or £75 posted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4wgZIfZMFE&t=28s&ab_channel=Fender

Beautiful. I wonder where the “Duck Dunn” bass is now?

Your tolex repair looks great. But how does the 12 ohm thing work in practice? GLWTS, by the way.

Excuse my ignorance, Brian, but what is a 10/90 neck?

Intriguing!
