Our 5 piece run 3 x Mackie SRM350 Mk3 cabs. 2 go front of house, 1 is the singers wedge monitor and a backup in case of any issues with the other 2 (had no issues to date)

Mixer is a Mackie DL1608 which has more inputs than we’ll ever need but more importantly,  4 monitor outputs and we run the little Beringher 150 watt monitors as well as the wedge.

Vocals, backing vocals, Roland drums and one of the guitarists Helix output go through the PA. It does us fine for pub/club gigs

For sale or trade this one of a kind Maruszczyk Jazzus 4a custom.

Light weight bass with great balance weighing in at just 8 lbs

It has a Lace Sensor pickup in the Stingray position, amazing amount of output, active/passive switch and a 3 band EQ. The tuners are Hipshot ultralights.

The bass is in excellent condition with no scratches or dings and comes it it’s original gigbag

Comes with a set of fresh rounwounds or I can fit the pyramid gold flats it came with.
 

Straight sale price is £750  £795 collected from Wakefield or I’ll meet up within an hour or so.

Trade value is £850

A sale is preferred but I will look at trades for another 4 string bass

Here’s a video of the actual bass in action

If it wasn’t for the post Brexit 20% vat I’d probably be all over this - GLWTS

Quick update 

@karlfer has kindly offered to courier this cab back up to Darlington to facilitate anyone in the North East who might be interested in it.

Ex miltary? I wonder what was originally in it.

Might be an idea to run a geiger counter over it before getting too close.

I did wonder what weapon of mass destruction was in there 😂

To be fair, it’s protecting £600 plus worth of kit.

I’m still scarred from dropping a pedaltrain soft case and doing damage to the contents 😊

Mine arrived today - trimmed a little foam of each end and it fits great.

You could probably drive a tank over it. Given its ex MOD kit I guess that’s a possibility 😊

Seller's username seems familiar...

BC member??

Nothing coming up on a BC search.

Looks a bit dodgy to me

I’m jealous, I’ve been looking for a P bass of this exact age 😀

I should have gone for the mint condition one at £1700 a few days back

Seller sounds a bit of an derrière too. But hey it’s an investment opportunity 🙄

Only a bit of an derrière ?

I assume he doesn’t know it’s already been butchered

But I’ll not be buying this one 😊

Polytune 2 mini noir In good used condition, just a few light scratches on the display screen.

Doesn’t take up much room on your pedal board but is now redundant now I’ve gone to Helix

£45 includes mainland Uk postage.

DiMarzio DP123 Model J Bass Pickup Set Black, used but in full working order and very  good cosmetic condition.

Currently fitted in my 62 reissue bitsa as pictured which show the adjustable pole pieces which are great for fine tuning
 

Please note that these pickups are not the same length. The neck pup is shorter than the bridge pup as you would expect for a set of jazz pickups

£65 posted within mainland UK

I got it from Si (Geddys Nose) from somewhere near Chorley

What is the weight of this bass, please.

Sorry, should have included in my post.

9lb 4oz or 4.2kg

I have a USA Sterling 4H for sale or trade.

It’s got a lovely maple fretboard and a Metallic Teal finish.

Weighs in at 9lb 4oz or 4.2kg in new money.

Generally in very good condition with 2 blemishes on the rear as shown in pics. The headstock front edge has a scuff.

The battery holder catch has broken but it doesn’t cause an issue and I have a spare battery holder anyway.

Took this in a trade about a year back but it’s not getting played as much as some of my other basses.

It comes with a semi-rigid gear4music case.

Sale is preferred but I will look at trades for a nice jazz style bass (or a P or PJ with a slimmer neck) but no more then 9lb in weight and no sunburst please.

Covid secure collection from Wakefield or I can safely meet you within a reasonable distance as and when restrictions are relaxed.

Buyers are also welcome to arrange a courier of their choice.

Makes sense... good luck with ya Jazz quest.

Already closing in on a couple, a 2012 and a 2015, neither have spent much time outside their case

Thanks all for the input - as always, basschatters are happy to share their experiences an opinions.

Much as I like the bass, its going back tomorrow. I could end up putting a lot of pennies into making it nearly right but it would still bug me.

A good learning experience if nothing else 😀

Just off topic, we used to own the same sofa.  Tetrad Eastwood.

As you were.

Got 2 of them, bought them 2nd hand 10 years back so they owe us nothing.

Goona get Tetrad Oskar leather sofas when we move 😊
