Price drop - now £375 posted in the UK.

Thanks, I’ll do some digging, nothing wrong with a bit of comfort!

Too true, Woody - thanks!

Hi all. I'm selling my Terror Bass 500, latest version, as I have too many amps and I'm not gigging, so I need to make room for a small practice combo that's incoming. I've used this one for a few rehearsals and jams, but it's probably left the house fewer than half a dozen times in all. I think by now everyone knows what these do, and how well. They're very loud and also look very cool, as does the gigbag. They're also very adaptable, as you can use the gain to really drive the amp or you can switch to "clean" for a transparent, warm tone. Either way, you’ve got that lovely valve-driven pre-amp, with an ECC83 (12AX7) and an ECC81 (12AT7) – in fact it’s the same pre-amp as you get on the flagship AD200 (but you can lift this one!). In fact, while the weight may be a little more than an all-transistor head at 4.65 Kg (10.25lb), it’s no big deal and just feels “right” - nice and solid. I bought it new from the no-longer-with-us GAK for £549 in November 2023, so I think the price is fair, given age and excellent condition, as you can see from the photos. It comes with the very lovely gigbag and a kettle power lead, but I’ll throw in a Speakon cable if it goes at or very near the full price. I'm happy to include the cost of postage to the UK, but I'll knock £15 off if you prefer to collect (from Mapperley, in Nottingham). You can play through it, and tea and coffee are on tap. Otherwise, I’m up for a meet-up within an hour’s drive from Nottingham. Not looking for trades, I’m afraid. I need the cash, and I’ve got all the gear I need for the moment (though with my GAS, I’ll probably change my mind tomorrow!)

Bit of a digression - sorry, Andy - but that strap looks interesting. What is it? GLWTS - lovely bass (with or without the strap)!

Sorry to be pedantic, but did you mean 9 volt? GLWTS, by the way.

That is one handsome bass. GLWTS!

Sorry, Jon, but it's normal to post photos if you want to sell stuff on here. At the very least, you should provide a link if the photos are stored on a third party site, like Imgur or Flickr.

Step on you!

Nooo! Never! GLWTS anyway.

Knice knobs! Joking apart, itsa lovely-looking bass, and 7lb is not to be sniffed at. What’s the purpose of the (presumably) copper strip between the bridge and bridge pickup?

Very handsome OLP MM5 five-string natural-finish passive Stingray-alike (some dispute online as to whether these were licensed by Ernie Ball Music Man or simply that the headstock shape was). It’s in pretty good nick (see pix for some very minor dings and wear, especially top of headstock) and definitely does the Ray thing, from clank to warm P-bassish. These were generally considereed at least as good as - if not better than - the first Sterling S.U.B. entry-level Stingrays that were around five years ago. I bought it a couple of years ago to experiment with fivers and, though I had none of the common issues with the transition from four to five strings, I’ve really had no need for the B, so it seems to be a bit wasted on my wall. I’ve got a Sterling Joe Dart Signature one-knob to scratch my passive Stingray itch anyway (and I’m really loving it!). If I feel the need to drop from low E, I’ll possibly add a Drop D tuner. String spacing at the bridge is a rather tight, but still very playable, 17mm. Nut width is 44mm. The neck finish is shiny - I suppose it’s gloss, but not at all sticky. Weight is a comfortable, but not lightweight, 4.5 Kg (9lb 14oz), there’s no neck dive and it’s fine on strap or lap. Currently wearing Ernie Ball Slinky roundss (the bass – not me!). I'm not really after trades, but I might be tempted by a good quality preamp/di pedal, eg MXR or a Sansamp; or even a Radial Tonebone, with any financial adjustments either way. I have a range of suitable boxes, so I'm happy to post at buyer's cost. I might have a gigbag somewhere to throw in. If you'd prefer to collect, I'm in Mapperley, Nottingham, or I'm happy to meet up within 50 miles of here.

Get your Fearless Flyers on, with a guitar/bass support as used by Mark Lettieri, Cory Wong and Joe Dart. Or, if you a glass back, let this do the work for you - attaches to a mic stand at whatever angle you choose. Think of those long gigs and rehearsals! Comes with a rather tatty copy of fitting instructions. Otherwise in excellent nick. These are no longer made (someone's trying to flog one on Reverb for £250!). I will post at buyer's cost or collection from Mapperley, Nottingham.

What these guys can do with wood is absolutely amazing. GLWTS

May I add an extra lovely! Does this means you're hanging on to the Ashdown, Chris?

That is light, even for one of these! Certainly mine was about 3.4 Kg, if I remember rightly (unlikely), but it had a Hipshot drop D tuner. GLWTS

You might get a bit more interest in your new low price if you were to include it in your title, e.g. PRICE DROP £1000. Just click on the the three dots to the right of the original post and you should see "Edit". Then you'll be able to edit the title box. GLWTS - I agree this is a ridiculously low price for such a quality bass.

.Never been a fan of the look of a Mustang, but yours is really cool. GLWTS.

That finish and colour are so cool! GLWTS.

A very pretty J bass. Looking at the condition and the new price on their website, this seems to be a real bargain. GLWTS.

Amazed this is still here, so here’s a bump. GLWTS

Gorgeous! Is it me or are the pups further away from the bridge than usual? Or is that because it’s a Special? (I get a little bit lost with the range of variations over the years! GLWTS anyway.

Sounds lovely, Andy. The amp’s ridiculously cheap now - someone’s going to get an absolute bargain. Good luck, mate. I hope your circumstances change for the better very soon.
