Just bought a MarkBass CMB121 combo from Pete. Absolute bargain and he kindly included the MB Super Booster pedal in the sale. Bombproof packaging, exactly as described (effectively brand new) and delivered the next day. Great, friendly communications. What a top guy. Thanks again Pete!

NOW SOLD -
Also taken from my 2023 Ray 34 are the pickup and pickguard (replaced by a Nordy and new guard). SBMM have created a nice thumb rest on these pickups, so the guard is shaped accordingly. Should fit most MM type 4H applications. Will package carefully and cover postage costs.

3 EQ preamp taken from my 2023 SBMM Ray 34 which has been replaced by a John East version. These aren't the cheaper and quite aggressive Chinese version fitted to the SUB Ray 4 and sound wise are virtually indistinguishable from the Music Man version. Quality seems really good. As I'm pretty ham-fisted with a soldering iron this was swapped out by a professional guitar tech. Will cover postage and package it in the East preamp box which will include the chrome knobs in the picture. -
Hello mate Is this still for sale and would you be willing to send by courier? I may be interested. Cheers Paul -

RD missing! Nice family group shot though. 😂

Spot on. Nice flame maple top too! 😁

They're the same as those on my RD Artist Andy. Look like they're exactly the right ones.

Welcome! Just down the road from you near Selby. Doesn't matter what gear you use or what you play as long as you enjoy it.

Bass: Martin Turner Sting Macca Kenny Passarelli - loved the simplicity of his playing but his tone on fretless P is awesome. Dee Murray Could add John Taylor, Pino and loads more. Guitar: Joe Walsh Nils Lofgren Chris Rea (slide) Mark Knopfler Gary Rossington

Glad you got it sorted. Sometimes the solution is far simpler than you think!

I have a SUB and a Sterling Ray 34 and have swapped out the pickups on both. The SUB just sounded muddy and the Ray 34 a bit too shrill. Managed to get a Delano for the SUB and it sounds brilliant. Versatile and no distortion at all. Put a Nordstrand in the Ray 34 at that sounds lovely too. I now have two great sounding and playing basses for less than the cost of a battered used Stingray. OK, the SUB finish is a bit basic, but it plays well. The preamp in the SUB is very hot, but I think the issue is with the pickup rather than the preamp in both, based on personal experience. Might try a different preamp in one of them to see if it makes a big difference, but generally happy now the pickups have been switched over.

I also have a Gibson RD Artist. Had it from new. Always loved Explorers and this was nearest I could get when I was 17. Strange how so many people hate Gibson basses. I'm a big fan of Martin Turner of Wishbone Ash and he is a great player IMHO, and his Gibsons sounded pretty good to me. He also had a Hamer Explorer with Thunderbird pickups., Drop tuned it to D if I recall correctly Hope the gig with the Epi goes well neepheid.

Install some pockets and you have a snooker table. 😁
