Chris went above and beyond. I bought his Sub n Up and it arrived next day. 
 

Great communication and an all round star. 
 

Thank you.

I used mine for the first time yesterday. A simple switch in the dirty loop and an Xotic RC boost in the clean. 
I fail to understand why this is still for sale at this price.

I'll have the second if I may

This is a real bargain. If I didn’t already have one……

Ben bought my Thunderstorm pedal. The whole experience was easy and the communication pleasurable. 
 

Thank you Ben

I love mine 

An analogue ‘vintage style’ bucket-brigade circuit flanger. Does that ‘Thin Lizzy’ sound really well. 
 

In most excellent condition.

Is this still available?

This looks absolutely stunning. My Cort/Elrick NSJ5 has seriously made me appreciate Cort basses.

Such a lot of bass for the money.

GLWTS.

I’ve had a rethink over the price. Reduced to £800. A seriously sorted bass. Offers or trade suggestions welcome, not necessarily bass.
 

Here's is my MTD Lynn Keller Kingston 5 string. It has several upgrades.

The bass has a 32" scale with a zero fret. 16.5mm string spacing and an asymmetric neck. It is lightweight at 8lb. It has Newtone Platinum strings fitted with little use on them.

The bass cavities have been shielded with copper tape. A US Bartolini HR-5.3AP/918 3EQ preamp has been fitted. The bass has Volume(Active/Passive)/Volume/Bass/Middle/Treble with a 'High Middle Low' mid 3 way selector. There is an added 9v battery in the main cavity giving 18v total supply. It also has an upgraded Switchcraft jack.

The original pickups had a very low output that seriously compromised the bass. They are also an unusual size. I had Mike Walsh of Zoot Bass remanufacture the pickups in the original cases and the result is stunning. Mike may be best known for making fine basses but his own pickups benefit from his depth of knowledge and attention to detail. The pickups now have a solid output comparable to vintage Fender pickups.

Finally, the bass has US Ultralite Hipshot tuners, better quality black coated brass knobs and Dunlop strap locks.

In excellent condition with no discernible  wear orchids/damage, as can be seen from the photos.

It will come with a good quality gig bag and I will ship at cost.

It is a tone monster

Inspection and trying the bass out is welcome. I can take more photos at a higher quality.

I have the original Bartolini pre-amp (Chinese version?), tuners, jack socket, strap buttons and knobs that I will include in the sale.

This is a great bass for those who favour a shorter scale and still want an effective 5 string bass. The zero fret, asymmetric neck and light weight make it a pleasure to play. It also has the Buzz Feiten tuning system.

This bass looks lovely. I know Alan's work well and it pushes all my buttons except the finances one.

Just had half-hour blast with  my G1 and have no problem with any of the strings on any of my basses.

 

Sorry but don't know what to suggest.  Perhaps you have a rogue unit.

Thank you Dave, I've returned it.

Peter

I received a 2nd hand Backbeat G1 today.

On trying it out on an active 5 string bass I can't feel anything from the D and G strings and little from the A string. Both the unit's and bass volume are wide open. 

Am I expecting too much or is it defective do you think?

Thanks in anticipation.

Peter

Excellent thing. I’ve had mine for many years. Playing with mp3s changing speed and key. Awesome. GLWTS

Gah, if only you'd put this up a month ago before I bought a full-size Muff I'd have bitten your hand off! 😢 GLWTS!

And I've been sitting thinking of selling it for a few months too.

Hello all

I'm selling my Nano Bass Big Muff. Totally mint except for velcro on rear. Box and manual included.

Never been used in anger. It didn't do what I was looking for. A Creation Audio Labs Grizzly did!

That looks lovely Paul. 
 

Peter

Thank you 😊 

I do wish you would have thought to pm me before posting, contradicting me
 

As I’ve already stated, this is the Epiphone version. The Gibson version is readily available. 
 

It was purchased to upgrade my Jack Casady that is now sold due to my requirements changing. 
 

I originally ordered one through Bass Direct but months passed with no indication of availability. After a delay I discovered that Thomann sold the Epi version. It still took many months to come into stock.

They aren’t painted. Anodised I suspect. 

Indeed, as per the photo but I’ll include.
