Always need a good back story! 

1990’s we plugged into back line with what we had, mostly guitar cables 😯,  ohm’s, never heard of them, internet comes along, now I use the correct cable and make sure my valve heads are matched to the correct cab/cabs. 
I never had a bad gig in the 90’s…

That 63 is something else, just pause before you do sell. Would take a lot of getting back.

I’ve thought long and hard about the 63 for months, it’s a once in a lifetime bass, but for noodling at home it’s just not right. 
My recording days are over or I’d keep it, it’s such a nice tone, the pickups are still hot but so mellow and rich. 
It should be out with someone who can get the most out of it. 

Maybe the placebo effect, but I can’t put it down! 

So I have a 1963 precision which I love to bits, however I was concerned about taking her to gigs, not that’s its irreplaceable but I’d hate to see her sprayed Matt black and sold for £250 at cash converters if it ever got stolen.

I had a Tony Franklin fretless precision a while ago, and it was a superb bass, played extremely well and the build was top notch. I just had no need for it. 

I’d seen the fretted model in pictures but they seem to be like rocking horse sh!t, so when I saw one pop up at Bass Bros I got myself down there sharpish. 

I’m playing in a psych rock band now and the precision is a great fit, but occasionally I wanted a little more growl and bite so the three way toggle switch and jazz pick up (I know this sound from the fretless) would be ideal. 

I wasn’t disappointed. 
For those that have owned/played a Franklin signature you know where I’m coming from, they easily match the stuff coming from the custom shop. 
For those that haven’t, I’d highly recommend you find someone who has one and try it, it will start your search. 

The action is low, I play in drop D and it handles it well, I was disappointed there wasn’t a dtuner on it like the fretless, but I can fix this. 
Anyway it has surpassed my expectations so much the 63 will be up for sale soon, this meets all my requirements. 

2016 Ernie Ball Musicman ‘old smoothie’ in smoothie burst.

This plays like a dream and sounds amazing. 
currently strung with flats.

comes with the Musicman hard case.

I love this bass but since needing more of a precision sound it really hasn’t been played. 

I'm willing to drive 50 miles from Birmingham to deliver, further for a petrol cost. 
I can’t post this at this moment in time. 
weighs 9Ib on my non digital scales. 

there’s one just sold at Bass Bros for over £1900 so I think this is a fair price for a bass that doesn’t come up that often. 

Always a pleasure Peter!

All pedals on hold- pending 

thank you 

Haven’t been on in awhile as real life took over my passion for bass. 
I’m going to be selling on a lot of gear over the next month or so but I’ll start with these beauties, took me a long time to get them together. 
I'm not going to go into long descriptions of them you all know what they do. 
 

1st up is the GR2 envelope filter (my personal favourite) 

2nd is the octabvre, fantastic octave with sub and “Tim” switch

3rd up Doom 2 great range of fuzz/distortion sounds

4th is The Enabler which is a great EQ/DI

5th is the WonderLove another highly desirable envelope filter with a good following

6th the PWNZOR optical compressor, I took my big box Cali off the board for this. 
 

7th The Proton LE. Another envelope filter (I do like a good filter) again has a following of die hards they all bring something to the table. 

 

The GR2, Doom, proton and Octabvre have the original boxes the other 3 do not. 
 

I’m looking for £300 each incl p&p or if someone wants to buy the lot I’ll let them go for £2000 including delivery up to 50miles or p&p included. 
 

bank transfer or PayPal F&F accepted.

Purchased a pedal from Chris, great to deal with, highly recommenced.

Cheers 🍻 

An introduction to Rob Allen may be in order, also welcome 

I think @walshy would be the man for advice he does love a good Ripper

Olympic white sounds 26% better than sunburst. Candy apple red is 42% better!

Was having my usual male grooming routine and usually mix an oil and mosurizer then apply liberally after bath. Recently started using Palmers cocoa oil just as general moisturiser on my hands. Tried to play after fingers hadn't dried out yet and I have to admit it did help me move around on the fretboard alot and slides were effortless. Anybody tried it? 

I use palmers coconut hand cream and it dulls new flats down like a dream 😄

Great bass, great finish, I’d be tempted to edit the title to confirm thus is the USA sterling not the cheaper model 

Met up with Chris and purchased a lovely Tudor Black Bay, lovely guy

cheers 🍻 

I’ll try again… 

I have 16 of these all identical 

Only if I’m driving at the same time 🤓
