Beedster

Selling a load of gear to pay for some over-running building work! Pics will follow tomorrow (Wednesday). No trades thanks, I need to raise an extra £5k or so over the next week so am listing these for sale only an at bloody competitive prices to ensure they well quickly (so no offers either!). There's be afew basses and guitars up soon also Demeter VTBP-201 rack mount tube preamp £300 + P&P. NOW SOLD Makes even my bass playing sound professional. Bought from Jack here Mesa Boogie M-Pulse 360 head in rack case plus foot pedal £400 + P&P SOLD Details at Boogie site here http://www.mesaboogie.com/support/out-of-production/m-pulse-360.html (I've just replaced this and the Ampeg below with a Boogie Big Block; risky move but needs must.....) Ampeg SVT-CL in custom flight case £800 (USA made in 2008). Collection only Withdrawn temporarily until I get my mesa head fixed! Very good condition, flight cased all it's life and little use in real terms. Details here http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/svtcl/ although as this is current model (I assume far east made) some spec may differ. Weighs slightly less than Germany, so will require collection. I may also be able to meet up somewhere over the Easter break. Line 6 Pod Pro rackmount FX/modeller £200 + P&P Details and manuals here https://line6.com/legacy/basspodpro/. A rather better than expected unit, but one I have no real need for (Avalon not for sale, sorry). Please no trade offers, I really do need to raise the cash to pay the builders Chris

Sorry folks, now sold

Thanks Nik i was kinda hanging on to it to be honest, but building work Chez Beedster is taking its toll on my offshore accounts so now need to sell this rather lovely little rig (which I gigged once only and which sound massive, despite its diminutive weight and small footprint). Lots more coming up for sale also over the next few week Cheers Chris

Bloody lovely bass bought recently from Karl (thread and pics below). I'd love to keep it but frankly we've a load of building work that's over-running at Beedster Towers, and apparently 'overrunning' means over budget, so I'm going to have to offload a load of gear over the next few weeks to help cover the costs (there's an SVT and a Boogie head, a Precision or two, Ovation and Gibson acoustics, possibly even a Strat, oh and an Essex Blonde......). Frankly it's no bad thing given I currently appear to have nine basses, five three rigs, three acoustics, two Strats, and god knows what else out there! Irony is once I've sold it all I'll probably realise we didn't need the space afforded by the new building after all. Anyway, this was last in so is first out. EBMM are looking like they might be closing down the web support for these things, but frankly, even with factory settings alone it's an extraordinarily versatile instrument, albeit one centred largely around classic EBMM tones. It is also extraordinarily well engineered and finished, and on both bases is an extremely playable bass (butter, wool, whatever is the latest metaphor). It's not a Variax, all the tonal options are analogue not digital, based essentially on PUP circuitry as opposed to modelling. OHSC included so happy to post, or collection from Canterbury. No trades thanks. .

That was my impression also. Having done a lot of homework on this bass - mostly because I was seriously interested in buying it - the previous owner/dealer in the USA clearly identified it as having been 'converted to fretless'. It's possible they were wrong, but it would be a very odd thing to say if it weren't true given they were trying to sell the bass at the time. I doubt it makes any real difference if it was professionally done, and I'd still love this bass alongside my '77 Ray

Hi mate, have you resolved the originality issue, factory fretless or defret? I am interested and have the funds, but most sources I’ve read since seeing your original listing suggest this is the latter? It may not be a deal breaker but some info would be useful. Cheers Chris

Hello mate, I’m in Canterbury Kent Chris
