PRICE REDUCTION - now selling for £1000 because I have to pay for this Linnstrument I just got 🙂 - please see my other ad also. I'm selling both of these basses because health reasons mean I just can't play them any more. Electric upright 34” scale bass from NS Design. Includes the bass itself, tuned to BEADG, a spare (used) set of tape wound strings, which I think are LaBella, heavyweight tripod stand, padded gig bag, the original boomerang strap system, end pin stand with conversion kit, and frame strap system. This bass has been well used by the previous owner, and it has a few dings as you can see in the photos. However it still works perfectly, and sounds great for live and recording. All items in this listing are 100% NS Design branded products.

Please check my other ad - I’m selling two NS Design basses with various accessories. It could be possible to negotiate a different combination of bass and accessories. These are large and expensive objects, so buyer collects from my place in SW London.

Is this still available?

Hey, nope, sorry, it's sold this morning on ebay. I just came here to update the ad. Thanks for your interest, though.

Selling this Tech 21 VT Bass DI pedal. Excellent condition as you can see in the photos, it's only been used at home a couple of times. Fully functioning. Includes original printed manual. It'll run from mains, 48v phantom, or battery, power. Excellent pedal, just not my thing.

Quote from the website:

"For the pro on the go, the VT Bass DI covers a lot of ground in a small footprint. This multi-function, multi-application format features three different outputs. You can complement your current rig, record direct, drive power amps and go direct to the PA. Just throw it in your gig bag and you’re ready at a moment’s notice.

Like its sibling, the original VT Bass, you can get the same legendary tower of power tone pumping through a stack of 10-inchers. This is for players who enjoy being heard. From chunky funk with the ubiquitous flip top, to the higher gain growl of indie rock. Want more? Lean on the Character control for the fat distortion of Crimson and King’s X.

The VT Bass DI incorporates a Blend control to adjust the ratio of direct signal and SansAmp circuitry, and a Bite switch to engage a presence boost and a subsonic filter.

With the VT Bass DI, you can go from clean SVT®-style thump to dirty earthquaking rump. No matter which way you dial it in, it all sounds massive.

Phantom power operable, or with 9V alkaline battery (not included) or optional DC power supply." Buyer collects from me in SW London.

This one was always my favourite. 

I got my NXT 5A not long ago. If you haven't already done so, think about changing the stock strings. The 'traditional' set of strings will make it sound a bit more 'authentic', and then there are the various other brands of double bass strings that will move further in that direction. Also @TheG is right, it doesn't move on the stand so feel free to move more in relation to the the bass itself. ALSO there is the endpin stand accessory, which is expensive. I have one but haven't particularly bonded with it, and I've gone back to the tripod for now. 

I haven't got a WAV but I do have the NXT5a EUB and the NXT5a Omni. They are both beautifully put together and I'd urge you to go for the NXT if you can afford it!

UFO at Hammersmith Odeon, years ago. I was at the front, and as the main set ended, Phil Mogg said off-mic, 'see you in a minute'. I liked the honesty of that.

I tried one of these, four string Synapse, had a great tone and a fast neck, nice bass and the price is spot on for a genuine Steinberger.  GLWTS

Hey, thank you! It's sold - that was fast 🙂

Selling this Steinberger Synapse headless, fretless, bass. Originally a fully fretted 5-string, it’s been converted to a fretless by Pedro Martins in Brighton. The original frets have been ground down to create a fretless sound with a little bit of a metal tone.

This bass plays well, balances well, and records well. It’s in excellent physical condition and includes the original gig bag and tool kit. It’s fitted with D’Addario flat wound strings, which suit it very well.

This is a good chance to get a beautiful bass at a good price. Shipping to UK ONLY, via insured Parcelforce, for £30. Buyers are of course welcome to pick up in person, with social distancing in place - and yes I've had my shots! In fact I’d prefer that rather than risk it going in the post!

Here’s the original Steinberger product information:

Carbon/maple hybrid delivers the warmth of wood and clarity of graphite.

Designed by Ned Steinberger himself, it features the unique U-channel graphite core in a rock maple neck and maple body. Combo head accommodates double-ball and single-ball strings while the unique direct-drive double-ball bridge adds super-fast string changes and tune-it-once tuning stability.

While other guitar manufacturers have been resting on their laurels, Steinberger's been thinking. Witness the strap hook, recessed tool holder and output jack, fold-down leg rest, and phenolic fingerboard that's slick as butter and fast as lightning.

Low-impedance EMG USA bass pickup with internal low-impedance preamp and piezo bridge extends the range on both ends for earth-moving lows and phenomenal transients from slap-style playing.
