Awesome, thanks!

Thanks guys!

Hi everyone, 

I am reluctantly selling my go-to rig that has served me incredibly well for around 12 years. Selling due to a house move and other purchases. Looking for a quick sale, so if you are interested and want to make an offer or want to ask any questions please get in touch.

The cabinets are in excellent condition as they have been protected by the leather cases. Everything is in perfect working order.

Included:

Mark Bass Little Mark Tube 800 Amp (https://www.markbass.it/product/little-mark-tube-800/)

Mark Bass Traveller 102p Cab (https://www.markbass.it/product/traveler-102p/)

Mark Bass Traveller 151p Cab (https://www.markbass.it/product/6638/)

2x Bespoke Grey Leather Cases for each Cab (these are a little road worn but still protect the cabs fabulously)

1x Mark Bass Amp Carry Case (Also a little road worn, one broken zip, but still protects the amp as intended)

1x IEC Power Leads

1x Speakon Lead*

* I only currently have 1 speakon lead as I've only used one cab for most of my work recently.

Thanks for looking!

Hi all, I'm looking for a new home for my beloved Fender Fretless Jazz. Serial Number US13086482.

I purchased this a couple years ago when looking for a fretless, and the previous owner didn't have much information about its heritage. The serial number is just for an American neck so its safe to assume this is a replacement neck. It has a number of scuffs and paint chips where it looks like the previous owner tried to give it a bit of a road worn look.

Still, plays great with a lovely low action and sounds warm with the flat wounds. Selling due to a house move amongst other things and I just don't get the time on it that it deserves.

Comes with a Tweed Hard Case that is in great condition (not fender).

Looking for a quick sale so if you are interested please do get in touch and make me an offer or to ask any other questions, I've already knocked a bit off what I believe would have been a fair price

Also selling a number of other basses too including an American Standard Jazz V and a Fender Mexican 50s Reissue Pass, message me if interested.

Thanks for looking!

Hi all, I'm looking for a new home for my beloved Fender Mexican 50s Reissue P-Bass. Serial Number MX14502101

I do love this bass and will be sad to see it go, but needs must to fund another purchase and a house move. 

There are a couple of knocks and paint has chipped off a couple of places on the bottom edge where I didn't realise the gig bag I occasionally used had failed to protect the bottom edge, please see images.

Comes with the original tweed hard case that is in great condition. It even still has the foam on the handle!

Hi all, I'm hoping to send my beloved Fender Jazz V to a new home to help fund another purchase. Serial Number US12187508.

This bass has served me very well, it sounds as good as you would expect to hear from an American Jazz!

There are a couple of knocks and paint has chipped off a couple of places, one place in particular, please see images.

Comes with the original hard case but that is very travel worn, with some snapped support feet, but it still protects the bass well enough, case interior is in great condition  .

Looking for a quick sale so if you are interested please do get in touch and make me an offer or to ask any other questions, I've knocked a bit off what I believe would have been a fair price for the condition of the finish and the case.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for all your comments! The bass has been sold as is currently winging its way to be loved by its new owner.

I really will miss it. Paul Everson is indeed a great luthier.

what is the wood used for the body, to be so light?

 

I'm not certain but I think its swamp ash and walnut on the body and a 3 piece maple and walnut neck.

@tom1946 here's a really light bass for you.

You're welcome to come and try it out!

I'm very sad to be putting this up for sale. 

I purchased this only 5 months ago and now I find myself parting ways in order to fund a new custom build. In those 5 months I've loved playing this super light and fluid playing bass on a few gigs and at home, a lot!

If like me you have shoulder-issues the this super light bass can alleviate them.

Features:

4-string

Super-light, a touch over 3kg!

Active circuitry EMG pickups-  Humbucker and single coil options

3 pc bolt on neck

3 pc bodu and walnut

Wood pickup covers

Wood Vol/eq knobs

34" Scale

Strap locks

Comes with a decent 'hard' soft case and a hand-written note from Paul Everson (luthier) to the original owner - doesn't mean much but its a cool bit of legacy to pass on.

Happy to accommodate viewings/test plays in Newton Le Willows (Warrington), or arrange courier if required (at buyer's expense)

Thanks for viewing, any questions drop me a line

I was recently contacted by Action Fraud to confirm whether I was repaid or not. (I was) they gave no details as to what is going on, but they must be still working on it to some extent.

Didn't think jokes were allowed on this thread... 

Nothing's going to happen about this. There's been absolutely zero movement from any of the relevant law or legal services and he's gone off the grid. His tribute bands are booking gigs, his band members are aware of what he's been going and don't care. It'll end up with him getting off scott-free apart from the small punishment of being banned from a handful of Facebook groups. 

I've had a few emails and spoken to an agent. And now communication from the police. I'd say things are indeed moving, somewhere at least.

His reputation in this community is ruined and I know of a few musicians who have now cut ties with him. We are all aware and vigilant. If that's the best we can do, then its something.

I've just received an email from the Economic Crime Unit at Leicestershire Police asking if I'd be willing to support the investigation on MM.

Things are moving!

I've received an update from my Action Fraud report. Let's see if Leicestershire police will do anything

I am posting this PDF here for anyone's reference/entertainment, my entire Messenger conversation with Mr Mason regarding Sans-gate.

A few things to note:

When I mentioned that he had reposted the ad is where I began to get suspicious. 

Some of you will note the same tracking proof screenshot that you may have received and the same obvious lies and excuses.

Some of you may also think I was too polite. When, I began to be suspicious of his intentions and discovered this thread through the FB conversation; I opted for a polite, ignorant, persistent and non-confrontational approach. I hoped this would make it more likely to get my money back. Seems to have worked eventually.

You may also notice I called him Mike twice, and Mark at another point. Maybe that's why he kept my money 🤣

You may also enjoy the moment when he agrees it is "unacceptable". 

Finally you surely will enjoy my genuinely accidental and ironic typo at the end of my penultimate message. 

ENJOY

Also, if he ever sent anyone a postal/courier tracking number. Let me know those details too and I'll collate.

I now have a collection of 6 Action Fraud Reference numbers and 2 police report numbers from numerous people.

I'm happy to collate an open document with this information in to share with others and to add to as things develop and if other people get ripped off. Names will only be included if I am given permission.

Quote me and send me your reference numbers.

I am still trying to find details on his businesses. Seems difficult..... not suspicious at all

I couldn't find him on Companies House and Funktion Junction Entertainment isn't a company. I am keen to track him down and see to what extent he can be banned from being a company director (if he is one).

I hear he owns'/runs a Robbie Tribute and a Carpenters Tribute, among others. But without a production company name its difficult to track.

It doesn’t quite add up that the entertainment tycoon is grubbing around ripping people off for £100 pedals on FB Marketplace. 

EXACTLY!

It's great that he's refunding people, but don't let that be an end to it. He's ONLY refunding people because he's been caught and the sh*tshow is being shared all across social media. He wouldn't have done so otherwise. Don't let this situation go. Contact the Fraud people, push the Police on it and make sure he NEVER does this again....

Agreed. Do we know the names of all of his companies? I want to put the word out to my network to be wary.

Also, this was his final message to me after I called him out.

I said this on FB and will say it here: Thank you to you all for your help and support, I feel it really counted in getting my money back. You bunch of legends.

I was one of the idiots who bought what I have come to regard as the mythical Timeshare Sansamp off this scammer.  The thread I created is still active on Facebook ''Bass Market’ page.

im happy to report that after many many emails back and forth between myself and Mick Mason, I eventually had a refund from him yesterday. 

It looks like another  at least another two folks (who had also bought a Timeshare in this pedal) have eventually had refunds.  There's one guy who hasn't yet but he's receiving help and support from those of us who've somehow successfully persuaded him to do the right thing.

I am one who has now received my refund from Mick for the now, what must be legendary - Sans Amp pedal. 

It took nearly a month of too-ing and fro-ing, 2 bounced PayPal e-cheques but I got there. Sans-Gate is over.....for me at least

Now, what can I spend the £105 on......?

Has anyone been given an NFRC number by Action Fraud? In order to ensure my information is linked to the ongoing case(s) I need an existing reference number, thanks.

I have literally joined this forum because of this thread, shared on the Facebook group. Sorry I haven't been here before! You bunch of legends!

I have also fallen to this scammer for the classic Sans Amp caper.

I have created a file with Leicestershire police (ref: 291220211) and with Action Fraud: NFRC201204132835

Can I please urge anyone who has been scammed by him to create a report with Action Fraud and quote this number. So far I've managed to link mine to 4 other cases. 

Perhaps we need a centralised place for all our reference numbers that we can all refer to?
