Happypants

Bought some strings off Clarky, got back to me promptly and super swift postage. Many thanks, top banana!

Can now post this if that's of interest to anyone.

Will has got a really nice jazz elite in , I’ve already got one in ice blue and I don’t need any more basses, but it’s rather tempting 

edit, it’s sold already 

I was lusting over this, but on the fence. Only because I was after a white one with rosewood board and my repeated experience with GAS is as soon you buy something, the thing you were really after becomes available. Your comment pushed me over the edge, damn enablers! 

This will be my second purchase from Will, and he's sold three for me, all remotely and all of which have been positive experiences.

@BassAdder27 Looking good! Did the Fender HiMass bridge drop straight in to the existing holes? I've read the earlier (crafted in China) CV's had a different, non-Fender screw spacing, but the later ones are the standard Fender spacing? Struggling to find a schematic with measurements of hole spacing.

I've ordered one. Should make a great platform to do some mods and if there's any QC issues I can send it back. I've got an earlier Chinese CV 60's P which is a keeper so I'm hoping these haven't strayed too far from that formula. 

Will be interesting to see how light the Indian laurel fretboard is in person, I'm not a massive fan of the looks of pau ferro. 

Some lovely tones:
 

Sold John a Darkglass pedal. Prompt payment and comms, many thanks.

Some images of the neck pocket, as it's an expensive bass and it's not the cleanest I've seen:

Stingray Special 4H in speed blue. 

I bought this from Will at BassBros. I have got permission from him to use his photos from the sale as they are far better than anything I could take. Just to be clear, the bass is with me and not BassBros.

The original sale advert is here (with more pics):

https://bassbros.co.uk/sold-basses/2021-ernie-ball-music-man-stingray-special-4h/

Complete with original hard case but no case candy. Standard apart from drop D tuner, with original included.

I've just weighed on my electronic scales at 7.6lbs.

It came with a gloss black pickguard and spare white one. I contacted Strings and Things (official Ernie Ball UK distributor) to source an original white pearl one and they advised buying one from Pickguard Planet which would be the same, but cost less and produced with a quicker turnaround. So included is the Pickguard Planet white pearl (71USD) and both the black and white pickguards I got it with.

Excellent condition. The only marks are a minor graze to the headstock and a minor mark on the drop tuner. I will get some photos up of these in due course.

£1750 collected from Orpington BR6 or can meet up to an hour away. Have family in Henlow SG16, Beds so can also get the bass there fairly easily.

Sold Steve a bass. Prompt payment and comms, he came and collected and we had a good natter about basses. I now have some new bass lines to learn! A pleasure; top banana!

On hold

Phew!

Had some trade enquiries, not really looking for trades as trying to thin the herd, ta.

Photos below. Only real marks are to bottom edge and near jack, as pictured.

Just weighed on my digital scales at 8.2lbs (3.719 kg).

69 of 100
 

Bought this as the same time as a Stingray 5 and I’m favouring that (I think down to string spacing). 
 

I will get some pictures up on Wednesday but it’s in excellent condition as per the original advert and hasn’t left my little practice room.

I will also confirm weight with my scales (it’s certainly light). 

Original advert here:

Comes with all original accessories as per the original advert. Don’t have outer packaging at the moment so collection or meet up strongly preferred. Collection from Orpington BR6 or have family in Henlow, Beds SG16 so can get it there if that’s any better.

Happy to drive up to an hour from Orpington (possibly a little further depending on where you are). 

Happy to take payment in 3 parts monthly with bass handed over at completion of payments if that helps anyone. 

Just to note the finish has darkened due to sun exposure so if you take the pickguard off you can see the difference to the original.

Now £250 posted. 

Sold Tim a combo. Prompt payment and comms, a pleasure. Top banana!

£430 collected.

Yarp, will get you an accurate weight this evening. 

Hi - I can't seem to change the thumbnail in my items for sale in the classifieds. I am able to click the thumbnail from the root forum and change the image but once the page is refreshed it reverts back to the original. 

If I don't post any images in the advert but subsequently edit the post and add them in, the thumbnail is blank.

Any thoughts?

Markbass Minimark 802 combo. 
 

Bought from this fine parish but I need something even smaller for the living room so will be looking at PJB or an 801. 
 

Excellent condition with as-new HotCovers cover. Don’t have the original box so collection/meet up much preferred but can look at boxing/courier at buyer’s risk and cost. 
 

No tweeter hiss like with the CMD121P and fan noise is very reasonable/quiet.

Bought this off eBay recently but typically something I was after for a while became available immediately after I'd bought it! Original advert here. Simply don't have the room to keep.

Very good used condition with a few minor marks but nothing obviously noticeable - worst is the mark on the lower horn pictured (some of the wood figuring looks like scratches in the photos but isn't). There's a faded section on back of neck so guessing it's been on a stand for a while.

Comes with a Gear4Music hard case which doesn't look like it's been used much.

Original advert states recent service/setup including new strings and new pick guard. 3.9kg.

Collection from Orpington BR6 or can courier at buyer's cost and risk to UK.

This was advertised here recently but got it via Reverb (allows for PayPal payment). The distortion isn’t for me but like the headphone amp, cab sims and Bluetooth so going to pick up the Element and save some space.

Great demo here:

Specs: 

Compression

The Compression potentiometer is the one-knob solution for compression on the Alpha·Omega Photon. This controls the amount of input gain to the compressor and intelligently applies the correct amount of makeup gain so that your signal is always driven at the appropriate level, no matter how much compression is applied.

Drive

The Drive potentiometer adds distortion and drive to your signal. Crank this knob to apply the Alpha·Omega distortion to the distorted part of the signal chain.

Mod

The MOD potentiometer selects or mixes between the Alpha and Omega circuits. Alpha is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas Omega is simply brutal and raw.

Blend

The Blend potentiometer mixes between the distortion signal and the clean sidechain signal.

Level

The Level potentiometer controls the master volume of the Alpha·Omega Photon.

Touch Sensitive Sliders

Each slider has a -12 dB to 12 dB range. From left to right, the frequency bands for each slider correspond to a low shelf, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 3 kHz, and a high shelf.

Input

This is the primary instrument input on the Alpha·Omega Photon. Connect your instrument or output from your pedal board to the 1/4” mono jack.

Aux In

The stereo input of the Alpha·Omega Photon enables the playback of backing tracks while practicing or recording. Connect your mobile phone, laptop etc. to the 1/8” stereo jack.

Headphone Output

Headphone Outputmeter next to the jack.

Balanced Outputs

The two balanced outputs add routing versatility and the option of using the Alpha·Omega Photon as a fully equipped audio interface. Connect your studio monitors, amplifier or other effects to the 1/4” balanced jacks using a TRS connector (Tip +, Ring -, Sleeve GND). If you feed an unbalanced input from these outputs, use an instrument cable with a mono 1/4” plug.

Direct Output

An XLR output with a ground lift switch provides a reliable standard connection to a mixing desk or an external audio interface for a guaranteed low-noise signal.

MIDI In

A standard 1/8” TRS (Type B) jack allows connecting an external MIDI controller to the Alpha·Omega Photon for even more flexibility.

USB

The USB-C port unlocks the Alpha·Omega Photon’s USB audio interface capabilities and enables interaction with the Darkglass Suite desktop app, allowing for software updates and access to the Darkglass IR library, containing hundreds of cabinet simulations. USB MIDI is also supported.

Sterling by Music Man Cutlass CT50 HSS, Rose Gold.

Bought this new in March this year from PMT. I think I've played it for about two hours in total. 

As such generally excellent condition.

Bad bits:
There's a small nick out of the neck pickup plastic.

Small neck pocket finish cracks both sides although quite hard to see due to finish.

There's a minor paint finish flaw on the front: a crease under the bridge and a small ripple in the paint finish but under the clear coat. Can't be felt and can only be seen when light hits it at a certain angle (can't seem to photograph either!).

Collection preferred from Orpington BR6 but can look at postage if needed.

Did you buy this new? (It looks very very shiny! 😁)

Nope, bought it used. I gave it a quick wipe over with a micro fibre cloth!
