I got this about 3 years ago because I wanted a ‘non-Fender’ style bass as a counterpoint in looks and tone to my other stuff, and looked at a Guild B301, an Ovation Magnum and a Gibson Ripper. I ended up choosing this Jack Casady. This may be the sexiest bass ever…it just looks so cool. It plays great as well. [attachment=82268:DSC03333.JPG] There is something about the gold top, half 335/half Les Paul body shape and the ‘varitone’ that I find really appealing. Tonally, it is full, but clanky (in a good way!), and remarkably flexible. That said, I now realise that my life will be incomplete and fundamentally disappointed without a Ricky 4001. Hence the sale. I have it strung with D’Addario Flats, and it has an amazingly low action. It has a couple of scratches by the bridge (see photo) [attachment=82269:DSC03336.JPG] It comes with a FREESTYLE rectangular Hard Case. You are very welcome to collect in Kent or I will post at your cost. Shaker

Sold, pending the usual, to David

I got this when I was getting involved in a 'Prog Rock' project. That project has come to an end, and it is time to move this on. The 8 string bass will probably follow:) They are EKO K2 bass pedals from, I would guess, around the 1970's. If you look in You-tube there is a video of the K3, which has a longer 'keyboard'. Trust me one octave, and one note at a time, is more that enough:) They have been well used but function properly, and when I got them I replaced all the foot-switches, and put chicken head knobs on, as they are easier to read when standing up. If this was a bass it wold be described as having 'mojo' Reading the control panel from left to right and top to bottom. [attachment=81125:ekopedals.JPG] Logo and model name Knobs for Tuning, Sustain & Percussion. A (slightly temperamental - I keep it on) On\Off switch and powerlight 16',8' & 4' switches, and indicator lights (You can select all footages at the same time) Sustain on/off. When on, the knob above operates, when off, it decays quickly. Percussion switched for Guitar & Bass. These do something with the attack - but is quite subtle. Volume control It then just plugs into an amp or PA (no midi). On its own it sound big, deep and smooth, and can do 'Hammond -style' bass very well. I used it with a multiFX box and a microsynth to give it movement, and some 'Moog-ness'. Through a PA it sounds immense; it is great to set up a 'drone' with your feet then play over the top of that with your hands. A Moog Taurus 'homage' for next to nothing;) My preference would be collection (in Kent), as it is large (25"wide, 21" deep (front to back) and 7" tall). That said, we can probably sort something else out, depending where you are and if you cover the costs. Shaker

Behringer BDI21 - no issues....great value. See stock picture.[attachment=78137:BDI21.jpg] I have used this for a couple of years as the pre-amp for my DB. It performs very well, but I have now got a Fishman Pro-Plat. I have also used it as to 'warm up' an electric bass into a tranny amp- again it works extraordinarily well for the price. I have a SABDDI as well, and it is quite hard to hear the difference. To be fair, build quality is another issue when comparing those two, but the BDI21 has never been on the floor (always on top of the amp). I was going to keep it as a 'spare' DI, but I have got the Fishman, the SABBDI and all my amps have one:) The downsides? The battery compartment is a pain to open. Beyond that, probably nothing. It will be well packed! Shaker

Bump Very open to offers Shaker

These are the Helicore Hybrid Bass 3/4 Scale Medium Tension Set. They were on my bass for about 2 months so are in great condition, with loads of life...the silks at both ends are tidy, but not perfect. No box, but well packed. Shaker
