In the ongoing saga of my gear clearing I'm selling my 2nd amp. I'm keeping my older LMII 'just in case' but my mint LM Tube is for sale. I bought it new and it hasn't been gigged. It's performed admirably for many band practices and it's in mint condition. It comes with the original packaging and manual. Made in Italy it is presently in Kendal and viewing is fine - good coffee too. Peter

I'm not sure if this is allowed but I'm sure that the moderators will step in if it's not. It's definitely not an auction and I own 'em all, no dodgy mates gear here As I said in my Bongo sale thread, I've a host of basses (and other gear) and I'm pretty sure that my playing days, while not over have changed to a bit of quiet therapeutic noodling with my little combo every now and again. So it's time for a savage and brutal downsize - it isn't easy. I've two 'jazz' (as in 2 x single coil) basses and I only want to keep one. I can't really decide which one to keep so it's down to which one someone might want to buy first. So up first is my ACG Jazz 5. I'm biased but it's awesome and I've owned it of a few years now, from new. Here is the bass from Alan's site noting that Alan changed the hardware to black for the sale: [url="http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0103-acg-j-type-5-string/"]http://archive.acgui...-type-5-string/[/url] The bass has an alder body and a 3 piece maple neck with Alan's asymmetric profile. The fretboard is a lovely birdseye maple and it's now fitted with a pair of single coil ACG pickups (as made by Aaron Armstrong). It came with humbuckers but I prefer the single coil tone (in a Jazz bass anyway). The humbuckers are included in the sale and they aren't cheap to buy by any means. There are a few light scuffs and marks that photographs only make look 10 x worse but I've photographed them anyway. The pre-amp is a John East U-Retro with sweepable mids, volume, balance, treble and bass. As those eagle eyed can see, it's got a strange lump on it. It's currently fitted with a Roland V-Bass rig. The latest pickup with a flight cased V-Bass unit, power lead and two (very expensive) instrument leads. The pickup is stuck on with double sided tape so can easily be removed. Shipped I'm looking at £800 for the bass with gig bag or £1050 for the bass plus V-Bass rig, both delivered to the UK (the Roland V-Bass is a hefty piece of gear). That's one huge sound package for the same cost as a couple of FX pedal. If needs be I'll sell the Roland V-Bass separately. My second bass that I'm considering selling is my GMR 5. This is an older GMR with I guess a bubinga body and a wenge fretboard. It carries Warwick hardware and passive MEC's and has that Warwick growl to a tee. 3 piece neck and it's in very good used condition. It's got a John East Uni pre fitted which allows full passive operation with a passive tone control and passive pickup blend as well as the usual active 3 EQ with sweepable mids. John's latest pre is nothing short of groundbreaking imo. £800 UK delivered with gig bag Both basses are reasonable in terms of weight and come with Dunlop strap locks.

Provisionally sold. Peter

An update. I'm pretty sure that the bass originates in 2004. It's a rare bird, quite collectible by accounts. It's in lovely condition. Played but looked after. There a couple of minor dings on the body that are barely noticeable and the standard headstock knocks but still nothing extreme. Peter

Over some years I've got to the position where I own 7 wonderful 5 string basses. I'm no longer in a band and it looks like my band days are over to be honest. I can't really justify tying up this much money when 3, or 4 would still be too many. So the first of 3 or 4 to go up for sale is my Bongo. According to Sterling Ball there aren't many radiance red Bongo's around so it sort of makes it a limited run. I think less than 5 were his words? The black headstock is unusual I believe. I'll get a couple of photo's up to start and can add some more if requested. Comes with Hiscox hard case. Located in Kendal, UK. Visits welcomed. Includes UK delivery. I've got a good record on here for selling and buying oodles of gear over many years. Trades not considered, straight sale only. Now to decide what else needs to go - this aint easy.
