  1. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1334255887' post='1613411'] City Link...in Newcastle. [/quote] Their 'Newcastle' depot is in Wardley (halfway to Sunderland) & seems to be very short-staffed. Went there once to pick up a parcel & the queue was out the door for the half hour I waited - there only seemed to be one young lad in the place who looked stressed to bits trying to deal with everything. Obviously it's a competitive game, but looks like they've tried to cut costs a bit too much recently & service has gone down the pan. Hope they sort it out for you... Cheers, B.
  2. Amp now [s]on hold[/s] sold - thanks for the interest. Cheers, B.
  3. Hi Tom - had quite a bit of interest, but haven't done a deal yet... Cheers, B.
  4. Thanks for the interest - now [s]on hold[/s] sold. Cheers, B.
  5. Thanks for the interest - [s]on hold pending payment[/s] now sold. Cheers, B.
  6. Hi Andy - it is a lovely bass & I'm sure it'll appreciate in time, but I have too many & they need to be played! Although it came out of the same factory as the SBs, the Cardinal isn't as sought after, so I've priced it to sell - you're right that it's a bargain to someone out there... Cheers, B.
  7. Cheers Cosmo! Know what you mean - never understood why they bothered with the synth preset & hid the Marshall Superbass away...
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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...

  11. 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... [attachment=104519:IMGP2957.JPG] [attachment=104518:IMGP2956.JPG] [attachment=104520:IMGP2958.JPG] Cheers, B.
  12. [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.
  13. Thirteen by Big Star - musically beautiful, but listen to the lyrics... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pte3Jg-2Ax4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pte3Jg-2Ax4[/url]
  14. Have you seen this old sunburst Jazz up for auction? Looks good! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Japan-Jazz-Bass-Medium-Scale-Old-Used-Japanese-Electric-Bass-N040-/260977210025"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Japan-Jazz-Bass-Medium-Scale-Old-Used-Japanese-Electric-Bass-N040-/260977210025[/url] B.
  15. [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.
  16. [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.
  17. [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.
  18. 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.
  19. [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.
  20. 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.
  22. Leo Fender's test bed bass was a plank & it worked OK for him!
  23. 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]
