I've always intended to sell a bass when my (stupendous) Zoot 32" Funkmeister P arrived. It was to be my 2008 MiM Jazz but I realise that I have bonded with it to the extent that something else would be offered for sale first. That's not to say that the BBPH isn't superb, it is and it's mint.

The BBPH is a proper limited edition, not just a cosmetic marketing exercise. I believe that 150 were made. It has a reverse P pickup and an effective 3EQ pre-amp voiced with Peter Hook's tone in mind. It has a passive mode by switch and the treble control doubles as a passive tone. Passive really works well on this bass. The body is a 3 piece sandwich and with the efficient neck joint sustain is remarkable.

It is, as hopefully the photos show, mint. Strung with new Newtone nickels. It comes with the original gig bag and all the bits. Weight wise it's certainly not a shocker.

I'm in Kendal, UK. Viewing and trying is welcome. I have a lot of good feedback over many years. I can ship but I don't have a hard case to use for that purpose. I'm travelling down to the Bristol/Chepstow way next Thursday and back on Saturday.

Sold pending....

Sold pending......

Seeing that Tony was looking for a strap and realising that I had one spare we had an easy and straightforward transaction with great communication and prompt payment. 
 

Thank you. 

My EBS Fafner is also in the For Sale section at the moment. An awesome amp that I think is also know as the TD 600.

Yes,but no,but...

 

Yes, in that if you play C and go up to G it's a 5th, but if you go down to the lower G it's a 4th.

 

No, because chords and scales are spelled and counted going up from the root. So in C, G is always classed as the 5th no matter which way you go.

Thank you 😊 

Your last comment is the way I used to understand it. But, as you say the descending interval is a 4th and a 4th sounds slightly different to a fifth. So in terms of the interval being smaller does that alter the overall feel? 
 

Perhaps a 5th to a 4th isn’t the best example. A major 3rd interval ascending would become a minor 6th interval descending. 

That’s close to what I have been doing thank you. I’ll have a play at my next loud outing  

Appreciated.

I’ve been working through the early chapters. One assumption that I’ve made for years has been dispelled. 
 

If I’m playing a fifth up I assumed that fifth down will do too. I suspect that is often the case but I didn’t realise that the intervals from the root are different. This applies to just about all intervals if you choose a different octave. 

I like the book. It’s thorough. I’ve got both her books and I’m learning while enjoying the process. 

It’s not just an amp, more a life experience……

In lieu of any sign of interest in this or my EBS HD350 I'd add, trades and offers considered. I presently have 4 amp heads and these 2 excellent EBS ones need a good home.

and “mad” because it’s a lovely mix of designs.

 

I had to research the Jag Stang bit

I hope that Mike doesn’t mind me jumping in early with his photos. It’s quite beautiful. Just a little setting up and she’ll be ready to come home.
 

Price reduction to £425

I accept that my post isn't the easiest to read but there's ways and there's ways.

Basically I'd like to trade for a Micro Thumpinator. I don't need the adjustment but some may have a use for it. I'm far from certain I'm getting the best out of it.

Your syntax is all over the shop. From the pic and general rambling it looks like you want shot of the Broughton for sumthin' simpler that isn't a Thumpinator?

 

Just blob up the knob on the Broughton with a lump of BluTac. Job done.

Thank you for your less than pleasant critique.

I would love the white one which a few on here passed around…

@GreeneKingand @Beedster

had it at various points in 2013/14

 

I had it from new. Should never have parted with it

What I'm looking for is a trade for a Micro Thumpinator. I'd prefer a non adjustable high pass filter. This post may not be allowed. I'm not sure. I'd rather trade for a simple hpf than sell for cash.

This unit functions perfectly as it should and I believe I have it's box hidden in the loft.

I've had issues with Micro Thumpinators not working from new (one was fixed by return and the other was eventually returned as it worked fine for Max but not for me???)

I'm looking for a simple solution.

Peter

These amplifier heads have a great reputation and for good reason. In good condition and functioning fully as it should. The blue light has been replaced with an LED bulb and it's been 100% reliable but I'll throw in a blue and red spare!

It's mounted in a SKB case as shown and can really be carried in one hand and I'm no beefcake!

It's available to view or try in Kendal NW England. I'd rather not commit to a courier but would be willing to meet up half way a reasonable distance.

See also my HD350 for sale.

Jim bought my MCR Bass Chorus Deluxe. An absolute pleasure to deal with. 
 

Peter

I've dropped the price for this great amp to £310.

A visit to try it out is welcome. 

Peter

I would Liam but I’d need to charge full courier charges that would include £300 insurance. A guess would be £40. 
 

Peter

It’s indeed sold thank you Jim

Yes indeed Lee. Superb cabs.
