Sold - Line 6 Studio 110 - £80 Collected

Hi - another instrument up for grabs. This is a De Armond Jetstar Special guitar in cherry red. The SG meets Jazzmaster look isn't something you see every day! This is the budget version of the De Armond that I think was made in Indonesia in the late '90s. Bolt on neck & two (surprisingly crunchy) humbuckers - pretty good condition & plays really well with a nice low action. Selling it as I don't really play guitar & I think this deserves to be played... [attachment=104529:IMGP2953.JPG] [attachment=104530:IMGP2954.JPG] I'm looking for £80 cash collected from Newcastle upon Tyne. Cheers, B.

Hi - I'm not using my Line 6 Studio 110 any more so I'm looking to sell it for £80 collected from Newcastle upon Tyne. I bought it on here a while ago & it's been a really useful amp for in the house, but I recently bought another amp so it's not being used. They tend to retail for just under £200 new & they allow you to model the following: - [b]Clean[/b] Inspired by* the Eden Traveler, this model is all about clean, funk and fusion bass tone. It’ll give you all the warm lows and punchy highs you need [b]R&B[/b] Inspired by* a 1968 B-15 Flip Top, this model is a tribute to those late 60’s and early 70’s clean fat bass tones. It is the kind of tone you hear on most Motown recordings, as played by a pioneering young James Jamerson. [b]Rock[/b] This model is inspired by* the ’74 Ampeg® SVT®. This workhorse has appeared on innumerable recordings and arena stages worldwide. And now all the tone of the 300-pound behemoth 8X10 and head is available in your combo! [b]Grind[/b] As the name would suggest, this is for modern rock lovers, Alice in Chains to Mudvayne and Rage Against The Machine. Based on* a distorted SansAmp PSA-1 into an SVT® in addition to a direct clean bass signal mixed in, this model gives you that angry, clear and punchy aggression that takes your sound to DEFCON 1. Spec. etc. is at [url="http://line6.com/lowdownstudio110/"]http://line6.com/lowdownstudio110/[/url] Cheers, B.

Hi - another one of my basses up for grabs. This one's an Aria Pro II CSB-300 Cardinal bass that has been defretted. I bought it off here a while ago & since I've had it I had the board professionally re-radiused & set up. It's currently strung with Status halfwound / groundwound strings & plays really well. No major issues, although the pots are a little bit crackly. It comes with a hard case & the original guarantee card - it was bought in 1981 in San Francisco. I'm looking for £120 collected from Newcastle upon Tyne - might be able to sort out a postal deal on this one if you're interested...

Hi - having a bit of a clearout so my Jetstar Bass is up for grabs. I think these were made in Korea in the late '90s. It's a short scale (approx. 31") set neck copy of the Guild Jetstar from the '60s & has a gorgeous metallic blue finish that doesn't seem to be very common. Mahogany construction, set neck & a couple of De Armond single coil pickups with a surprising range of tones available. Condition is pretty good for it's age - a few dings here & there, but nothing major. I've given it a set up since I've had it, but not gigged it - plays fine & sounds great! I'm looking to get back the £125 it cost me (RRP was £449 when it came out). Collection only from Newcastle upon Tyne - no case & I'm not too keen on sending anything with a set neck though the post without one...

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1333133306' post='1597996'] Gotta say I`m surprised. Maybe their on-line/telephone sales business is more important to them, as they`ve always been 100% great with whatever I`ve bought/returned. [/quote] Me too - Sounds Live have always been great with me when dealing face-to-face in the shop & I've been going in there for a few years now... B.

Have you seen this old sunburst Jazz up for auction? Looks good!

[quote name='2x18' timestamp='1331911176' post='1580822'] I used to own the twin of this one--Really nice Bass [/quote] And I bought it - lovely neck! If you're ever up in the North East then you could maybe pop round to try it out... B.

[quote name='NickSpector' timestamp='1328964717' post='1535342'] So, if you are the owner, or know where it is, please get in touch! [/quote] That'll be me! I've replied to your PM. Cheers, B.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1328816812' post='1533232'] Howard the Bass Doc has some new tort in stock which looks remarkably similar to what's on my 70s Ps & Js. Drop him a PM. [/quote] +1 - Definitely worth asking the Bass Doc about making one to match the one you have already if you're not sure about an off-the-shelf one lining up. That's what I did last week! Cheers, B. -
I've found there's a big tension difference between the 100s & 105s - love the 100s, but couldn't get along with the 105s. Great strings for the price & cheap too! Cheers, B.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1325770212' post='1487366'] I recommend the Status Hotwire line to everyone, they are fantastic... oh and they are made by Status themselves btw. [/quote] Didn't know that - have edited my my original post. Still hasn't stopped me buying loads of sets though - they're one of the few companies who make 32" scale strings that I like & a lot less than the big names too! B.

I have a Session 60 & love it - great value for money! There are a few threads on here that are worth reading & I'd also recommend watching Dood's review - that swung it for me to buy one mail order as he really shows what the amp can do. Cheers, B.

Did my second deal with Will today on a lovely old Squier & it was another smooth transaction. Will's great to deal with - he managed to combine a trip up north with a face-to-face meet to do the deal then generously threw in a few extra bits & bobs to help me out. Thanks again - it's been a pleasure! Cheers, B.

Leo Fender's test bed bass was a plank & it worked OK for him!

Lovely bass - it'll look great with one of Howard's tort plates on. The pickups remind me of this Jazz Bass prototype: - [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/news/index.php/?display_article=503"]http://www.fender.com/en-GB/news/index.php/?display_article=503[/url]

[quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1324652523' post='1476714'] Thanks for all your answers some good info there. Benebass I am from Newcastle Upon -Tyne also [/quote] Small world! Unfortunately I had a clear out a while ago, so don't have any spare flats sitting around at the mo. I think you'll find some on here soon though & I've found stuff on [url="http://www.gumtree.com/newcastle"]http://www.gumtree.com/newcastle[/url] or [url="http://uk.freecycle.org/"]http://uk.freecycle.org/[/url] in the past...

Status flats are really good value, but are pretty old school & thumpy. Might not be what you're looking for if you're new to flats, but I like them. La Bella or Thomastik tend to be the best all-rounders I've used. Chromes are much brighter - they sound like roundwounds at first, but they mellow with age. Unfortunately, all of these sets cost a lot more than rounds - I've found it an expensive business trying out flats! Cheers, B.

[quote name='Chlo_treacher' timestamp='1324249161' post='1472313'] Ahhh I know Andrew well, thats so cool! Rob's family are some of the nicest people I've ever met, total sweethearts. I remember doing that show! I think it was on the first tour I did with them, supporting a god awful girl band if I remember correctly no? Dont worry if this farewell tour does actually happen there will definitely be a date up t'north. Most likely to be Barnard Castle for obvious reasons but its going to take a while to organize and get everything running smoothly. So keep you updated. x [/quote] I remember that girl band - there was a guy near us in the crowd who kept saying it was a travesty that you went on before them! Andrew's a great guy - he put together a band for our wedding last year with my bro guesting on vocals & did a great job. Hope to catch you if you make it up here - always happy to have an excuse to go back to the dale. If it takes a while to organise then it'll give you a chance to take your new Overwater out too! Cheers, B.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1324218660' post='1471901'] Bit late to the party, but I've got a video in the BC review section of the EBS session combo [/quote] I think your review was the thing that made me buy one actually - you should be on commission! Cheers, B.

[quote name='Chlo_treacher' timestamp='1324210166' post='1471766'] Yes, that was me!! Where did you know us from? [/quote] Small world - my brother & Rob the drummer's brother were in the same class at school! Came to see the band at the Head of Steam up here in Newcastle a while back - great gig! Hope you'll be back up north on your farewell tour - Newcastle's not far from Overwater HQ... Cheers, B.
