  1. Looks like a great bass. You have done aan awesome job fixing it up.
  2. TecAmp Puma 500. NOW SOLD Tiny, lightweight amp in good condition. Really easy to get a great hi-fi tone and the taste knob is also really useful. Selling as I have bought a HB R400 so now surplus to requirements. Comes with gig bag. £280 including shipping.
  3. Thats fair enough. I'm not much of an EQ tweaker at the best of times so between the bright switch, contour knob and the tone knob on my basses there aren't really many other sounds I need.
  4. Mine has also arrived and it is outstanding! Surprised how versatile the EQ is with so few knobs (apart from one operating it!).
  5. Packed and on its way... There are many like it, but this one is mine 😛
  6. Items for sale section. Keep scrolling down and there is a wanted forum there.
  7. @dudewheresmybass Yes thank you. I really like it, although I've just bought a Handbox R400 so got more tubey goodness coming soon!
  8. In all honesty I haven't used it much yet but the settings sound good and has been quite fun to use. I'll message when I've had more chance to play with it.
  9. Bit the bullet and ordered an R400 after reading the reviews and watching wateroftyne's videos on YouTube. Shipping on Tuesday so looking forward to it getting here. Have to say Leszek's communication is excellent. Replied within 30 minutes on Facebook to my questions and had bought one shortly after that. Will post a pic when it arrives... Bizarrely I seem to have ended up with a near identical rig to @wateroftyne as well, although not intentionally... HB R400 into 2x TKS 112!

  11. Bought a pedal from him. Excellent communication and arrived very well packed. Thank you for an easy transaction.
  12. Darren purchased my Xotic XJ-1T. Great communication, fast payment and he even drove to collect the same day. Thank you for a really easy transaction!
  13. NBD! American Original 50s Precision
  14. Yes. 34" scale. Original post amended.
  15. I bought this bass about 3 weeks ago on here from kevsy71 and it is really is excellent; however, I recently received some inheritance money. I have promised my wife a 1 in, 1 out rule on my basses and have my eye on something vintage so sadly this has to go. Versatile EQ and incredibly easy to play. Was bought as my first 5 string and with 19mm spacing it was an easy switch. If the bass I am after sells then I will probably withdraw this sale. £1300 including shipping to the UK (comes in an old Cort hardcase which will be very well packed) Ad details stolen from previous sale here: Specs Weight: 4.7 kg Scale: 34" Nut: 47mm String spacing: 19mm, adjustable Xotic A-type bridge 22 frets with luminlay fret markets - activate with a torch or other light source, and they glow on a dark stage. Controls: Chrome pots: Volume - Blend - Passive tone Black pots: Active bass/mid/treble Switches for mid and treble centre frequencies Push/Pull Volume for active/passive Push/pull passive tone for Hum Reduction Inducter (a $150 add-on option which works brilliantly!) For other details see here: http://xotic.jp/instruments/basses/xj-series/index_e.html (this explains the bass was designed in California, built in Japan, and finished in California!) "The production of each high quality Xotic bass guitars begins in our Los Angeles, CA shop where the wood, shape, color, hardware, pickups and all other features are precisely designed for each instrument. Every model goes through an extensive process of R&D to determine which wood, construction and electronics will best serve its envisioned use. These exact specifications are then sent to T’s Guitars in Japan. T’s Guitars has an enduring reputation of producing exceptional hand quality instruments in Japan and Xotic has a long and ongoing relationship with them. Great attention is paid to picking the finest woods for our bodies and necks and each piece is hand selected. Seasoned builders blend old world craftsmanship with modern CNC technology in building each instrument with each step in the process supervised up to Xotic’s meticulous specs. Guitars are then shipped to our California shop where our Master Luthier will inspect each instrument. Fretwork is finalized with a fret dress that addresses every facet of the fret surface. Additional setup includes string height, truss rod adjustments and fine-tuning of pickups and electronics. Particular attention is giving to the instruments playability, tone, fit and finish." Also see the spec sheet in the photos. Cosmetics: Excellent condition, I can't find any body marks that would show up on a photo. A few minor scuffs and dings on the headstock.
  16. This. Especially for your first bass so you can get used to the different tones and more importantly neck profiles/weight! If you don't enjoy playing it and find it uncomfortable you are less likely to stick with it. Even if you go there to try things out then buy used from here it would help you immensely.
  17. Bought a pedal from AxelF. Well packaged and arrived quickly. Thank you for an easy transaction.
  18. Very nice... You won't regret it!
  19. Couldn't do it in the end so holding on to my Will Lee. Still the best 4 string I've ever played and would regret it if I sold it! I'll bring it to a south east/London bash some time!
  20. That is stunning. Congratulations and enjoy your "afternoon at work"!
  21. Xotic XJ-1T. Really easy to play, sounds great and the EQ is excellent so that covers me for jazz sounds.
