This is a 1972 Gibson EB3L, the long scale version of the gibson bass made famous by Jack Bruce.. The body is mahogany and the neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard, the frets are in great condition, neck straight with no issues and no neck breaks or repairs anywhere.. The bass is in great condition with only one noticable ding on the bottom of the bass... This thing play like a demon and sounds amazing, really deep with loads of clarity, i think the slightly further back positioning of the big pickup helps eliminate the muddiness that was often associated with EB basses, the bridge pickpup certainly helps aswell as there are a great range of sounds on offer.. I had this bass checked out by Vintage and Rare Guitars in Bath recently and they confirmed that the bass was all original except a refinished body, they valued it at £1200 The pickguard has been signed by Mike Watt (The Stooges, fIREHOSE, minutemen) although the signature can be easily removed if that is not your kind of thing... My friends are all saying i am stupid to sell this but i need to thin things out and im going to regret it but... Heres some pics anyway.. SOLD

This is a fully original 1976 Fender Precision Pickup, fully working, no issues.. Had a Bit of trouble photographing it but here goes! Looking for £120 OVNO

This is an amazing reliced RS Guitarworks P Bass, Lindy Fran Pickup, made from aged wood with an amazing tone.. I know relics split people down the middle but this one is good, the neck felt just as comfortable as a '64 precision i was playing in denmark street, it is also than nice in-between profile.. Just cant afford to keep it, last in first out and all that! There is a load of info and pics of this exact bass at the RS Guitarworks website.. Hopefully this link will work...

That thing is mental...

I have a bass with a Fralin, the bass is amazing to play, feels great but there is just something i dont like about the fralin sound, i keep going back to an old fender p with a cheep kent armstrong hot p pickuo..

Finally up for sale is my beloved Gibson EB3L this is a 1971 model, its longscale rather than the usual shortscale EB thing, recently set up and checked over.. The next is straight and true and there has been no headstock breakage. There is only one ding of any consequence on the back of the bass about the size of a new 5p, otherwise the bass is in great condition! (Minutemen, Firehose, the Stooges) signed the scratchplate at a solo gig he did in Brighton a couple of years back (mentions it in his blog) the signature is easily removable if you want to preserve vintage value. Soundwise the bass really roars, the two pickups give plenty of tones, really fat bass but not at all muddy like the EB0 This is a great bass, i am going to get it in the neck from all my friends for letting it go but i need to slim things down a bit. This is a fairly old picture, im going to take some more in the sunlight tomorow and post them up ASAP.

A reluctant sale due to an ever increasing gear mountain that has to be addressed!! This is the Line6 Lowdown LD150 amp with a 12" speaker, 6 amp models, 3 effects, Built in tuner, deep switch, DI-out.. The sounds are great, the SVT really roars, the clean is great for a more modern sound, also the synth sound is amazing! I got this for smaller gigs and for use with my Double Bass but have ended up with a Phil Jones Briefcase as i needed something battery powered.. its been gigged a few times only and is in really good condition, the tilt-back design is incredibly useful for practice / onstage looking for £170

Blimey..........

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='67488' date='Sep 29 2007, 08:17 PM']As an FYI the old green ones have completely different components than the new ones (well a lot of components are different) either way they sound different and in most peoples opinions better, they are also better built and long since discontinued. No new EHX muff you can buy will sound like an old green one so you have to get boutique clones of them like Way Huge, Skreddy and Euthymia and as those pedals are expensive they've driven the original ones up in price. So there is a big difference between the Green ones and the Black ones.[/quote] +1 on the components, just try A/B-ing these against the black and us models... I used an E/H muff for years until doing some recording with a producer who handed me a green pedal, the sound is totally different, more extreme and more bottom end.. The early runs were made with old radio components i heard, but anyway, they use different ones to the other muffs as they let more of the bass signal through.. Common muffs let only a small band of the bass frequency through at the input stage, hence why they are so weedy unless cranked.. After borrowing the one in the studio i looked into the new russian muffs, expecting them to have some similarity in tone but the ones i tried were even thinner sounding than the US model.. Many people (including me) say this is the only muff for bass, and this was the only run that sounded that way.. There are some pedal sites that show you mods to make newer muffs have the same expanded range as the greener.. Also, speaking as someone who has destroyed two American muffs through on stage antics (one literally collapsed in on itself under my foot!) you cant knock the solid construction! My 2p on the going for a bargain thing is that yeah, of course we all do that and everyone wants a bargain, but this is not the place for harcore "buyer beware" tactics, i see this as a much more supportive community than say.. ebay, you want to take advantage of a missinfomed seller, go over there where everyone wants everything for £100 less than a reasonable price otherwise you are obviously trying to rip them off... ever done a "buy it now / offers" sale? You do see some funny things!

Weekend bump.. Also now definitely up for selling the Lowdown Combo, i am recording this weekend but will try and put up price and pics etc ASAP..

The EB3L is in the guitar fixing shop at the moment getting a set-up, Its coming back at the end of the week but here is a pic.. Need to do some research for price.. I have not sealed the signature so it could still be removed if you don't want it..

Thanks for all the interest in the Sovtek Pedal, im just waiting to hear back from my ever indecisive guitarist on whether he wants it, i will post up pics and price next week if it is!

weekend bump!

Im selling off some stuff to help ease the demon tax bill!! I prefer papal payments and buyer pays postage. [b]Bareknuckle Jazz Pickup - Bridge...SOLD[/b] Excellent condition, used briefly in a project bass.. Sounds great really smooth and punchy, has a 10% overwind so plenty of power. [b] Fishman PRO-EQ II.[/b] Good condition, used with my double bass but is a good all-round pre-amp for any acoustic instrument, the phase switch is especially usefull for feedback.. Missing battery cover. £65 plus postage.. [b] Roland GK2B. Midi Pickup.[/b] Got this while trying out midi, tracks great both with the Roland and Axon systems, sound like squarepusher!!! This is the pickup only.. couple of scratches but works perfectly, you will need a couple of screws and springs to mount it on the bass.. £50 plus postage [b]Electro Harmonix BassBalls Pedal[/b] Nice old one this, not original issue due to LED but early enough re-issue to have NOS parts £50 plus postage [b]LOOOPER True Bypass Strip.[/b] These excellent hand-made true bypass strips are no longer avalable due to the builder getting RSI but they are really high quality and had built.. It allows your bass signal to remain true and unaltered while using any amount of tone-sucking non-true bypass pedals.. These are custom made to order and this one features 3 true-bypass effects loops as well as a tuner out with its own separate mute button..Two of the effects loops have a switchable setting that make the effect come on only while the footswitch is down and when released the effect turns off.. This is great for envelope filters, delay, or little stabs of distortion, stuttering effect stabs, especially good with a whammy pedal! £60 plus postage Im also putting the [b]feelers[/b] out on the following that may be up next week... -Line6 Lowdown 150 combo -1976 Fender Precision Pickup -1971 Gibson EB3-L bass signed by mike watt!! -Sovtek Bigmuff (original big green version) Any interest then PM me!
