Fantastic little cabs these - we all know that you just can’t beat them for size versus output with incredible fidelity even down to the low B. Hugely portable with a massive sound. I’ve only had it for a short while (gigged once) and loved it so much that I started to plan for a second one when along came a Barefaced cab at a price that I couldn’t refuse. As new condition with PJB cover, paperwork and original box. Will courier at cost, happy to provide local ish delivery.

OK - thanks for getting back!

Nobody likes a nice pair more than I ... finances dictate a singleton though I’m afraid. Understand if it can’t be done.
-
Either of the cabs still available perchance??
-
A fantastic power amp with loads of headroom - recently purchased and used with a fly rig pre - used a couple of times ... change of circumstances and now it’s way too much for my modest needs! Great condition, with thrown-in Speakon bridged cable (for 1500w into 4ohms)

NOW SOLD. Open to offers! So here is my Phil Jones rig - I lusted after something like this for years, only to eventually find that it’s waaaay more than I can actually use. If you know bass amplification, you’ll know about PJ ... it’s all true, this rig is amazing with potential for 1200 watts of pure, transparent power and it’s easy to transport - well, easier than an SVT 8x10 anyways. Condition is great, each cab comes with a cover. Sorry, really don’t want to split them up. Based in Bournemouth, happy to travel a reasonable distance to hand over.

Price drop - now £550 for the pair. I have two of these brilliant cabs - one with Eminence Delta drivers and one with Legend CA1059’s. These are built like the proverbial and are both hugely loud (600w) and fairly heavy, but modified (by me) to vertical standing with wheels and a handle for easier transportation and tilting on stage. One (Legends) is in good condition, the other has a few scuffs and tears. Reluctant sale but moving to 12’s.

Still have one available???

So here (again) is my beautiful Broadkaster bass. I have owned it since new - maybe 10 years, and have gigged with it just once. (Looks great on stage!) Other than the odd photo session, it has been sitting in it’s case, so I would give the condition a 9.99/10.
I have just realised that the scratchplate is missing - I took it off as soon as I bought it. I know it is in storage, I still have it and it will take a while to locate it.... will need a little patience on behalf of the successful bidder!
Following is the Gretsch blurb ...
For the Discriminating Bassist
The G6119B Broadkaster hollowbody electric bass is modeled after several successful Gretsch basses of the 1960's, for bassists who demand instruments to match the sound and quality of the Gretsch electric guitars.
Gretsch G6119B Broadkaster Bass at a Glance:
Single cutaway hollowbody, based on the Tennessee Rose.
2 bass Filtertron pickps.
Extremely fast, responsive neck.
Broadkaster Bass-ics
Styled after the Tennessee Rose, the Broadkaster has two FilterTron bass series pickups and full round tone that comes from a hollowbody instrument. With an extremely fast, responsive neck, this bass is a favorite among discriminating bassists.
In original Gretsch fitted case. Shipping UK only - as ever, happy to quickly answer any questions and/or take specific pics, just ask!

Hi - the scale length is a very comfortable 34”.

I know, right? And it plays even better than it looks ...

Here we have my Squier bass V. Very little play time on this one - I bought it new 18 months ago to see how I would get on with a V. I get on great as it goes and invested in a Fender V, so as lovely as this guitar is, it’s time to move on.
I have to say that this bass plays REALLY well, the pups are amazing - loads of power with authentic Jazz tone. The electrics are smooth and crackle-free. The only downside (for me) is that it’s a little heavy, I would guess 10lbs or so. The Fender is a little lighter. Also, there is a chip in the paint finish on the lower neck pocket - not visible when playing - I’ve included a pic. I added a custom scratchplate, sorry the original black one is gone. Will come with a non-Fender hard case.
Here’s some blurb on the Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass:
Squier's five-string Vintage Modified Jazz Bass® V has a handsome white gloss finish, a soft maple body and one-piece maple neck with sharp-looking, elegant black binding and block inlays. Offering flexibility for today's modern styles that demand a deep low end, this bass offers superior sound and feel for the five-string bassist, with excellent Squier performance and value.Featuring a Soft maple body, Vintage-tint maple neck with “C”-shaped profile, 20-fret fingerboard with black binding and black block inlays, Dual Fender®-designed single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, Black pickguard, Five-string standard vintage-style bridge with single-groove saddles.The neck on this model sports a vintage-tinted gloss finish for a highly desirable aged look.This model has a slightly thinner "C"-shaped neck profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) than most models, providing a fast, smooth and comfortable fret-hand feel.These Fender-designed pickups are full of growling, authentic Fender tone.
Body Shape: Jazz Bass
Body: Soft Maple
Body Finish: Polyester sharp-looking black binding and block inlays
Body Shape: Jazz Bass®
Neck: Maple, "C" Shape
As ever - happy to quickly answer any questions or add more pics.

From one of the best luthiers in the US (there is always a waiting list for his instruments) all hand-made with love and attention to detail. This is one of his MB2 four string basses and with the built-in piezo pickup it is as close as you’ll get to a natural sound with an electric. The addition of the active Bartolini really expands the tonal range that you can get with this guitar. And at a shade under 7 lbs, it’s also ridiculously light.
Materials: Birdseye Maple Neck, Cocobolo fretboard, Alder Body with a figured Maple top made in 2007. Unlined, but there are dots up the side of the neck making it very easy to play!
The added pickup is on it's own Bartolini Fretless voiced preamp that was kept entirely separate from the stock piezo. It's wired to work based on using a cable (not supplied, but easy to make up) that has the ring/tip wires reversed. So, you plug in a regular cable at it's a Rob Allen through and through, you plug in a "switched" cable and you have a mag pup with Volume (active/passive push/pull), Mid push/pull, and stacked bass/treble. Work was done professionally by another top US luthier Mike Lull.
As I’m writing this I’m wondering why on earth I’m selling it - it’s a fantastic guitar and I was SO excited, not to mention priveleged when I got it. I only ever used it on studio sessions where it got nothing but compliments. The truth is that I have defected to 5 string basses and can’t seem to find my way back.
There are a couple of scuffs here and there and a ding on the top of the body which I have tried to photograph, but nothing that affects the beauty and sheer tone of this wonderful instrument.
Will come well-packed in a lightweight but strong Gator case.
Shipping at cost, UK only. As usual, very happy to quickly answer any specific question or supply more pics. Thanks for looking.

**SOLD** Phil Jones D200
in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Posted · Edited by Grewster
This is my Phil Jones D200 micro bass amp. It’s an amazing little class D amp, weighs nothing yet packs a real 150W into anything up to, I think, 16 ohms. Featuring an industry-leading limiter, the sound (like all PJB) is very natural and transparent. In great condition (gigged once only). Comes with padded carry bag and original box. Happy to deliver locally.
