    FS: Eden WT 300 head and 210XLT cab WITHDRAWN

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Brother Jones

    Mint condition WT300, with a beautiful semi-flight case of its own and spare preamp valve. Famous valve preamp section which is so well voiced I've hardly ever needed to change it from flat. 300 watt sold state power section. Manufactured in Montrose MN, USA in March 2000.

    Slightly less-than-mint 210XLT. Other than a bit of denting to the Eden logo, it's vgc and sounds excellent. Slightly obviously this is a 2 x 10" cab with an adjustable tweeter.

    I bought the head about six years ago from fellow BC'er BassBod (who had the case made), and the cab secondhand from the Bass Gallery in Camden. At the time I was bowled over by the night and day difference between this rig and its Gallien Krueger predecessor.

    This is a superb rehearsal/small gig setup for anyone looking to get into high end amplification for a very reasonable price.

    Speaking of which, I'll sell the head for £300 and the cab for £250, or together for £500. Buyer will have to collect please - I'm in Kingston in Surrey/SW London. You're very welcome to come and have a listen and a cuppa.

    FS: Fender US Jazz Deluxe 5

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Brother Jones

    Near mint, sunburst, with choice of either tort or white flake pickguards. It looks fabulous with either :) .

    It's a very late model of the original series, with the extra string tree on the E and B strings, through-body stringing, graphite reinforced neck, and three band actives.

    The fitted p/ups are Nordstrands (which I prefer for their extra punch), but the original Fender p/ups are included in the sale. The strings run as near as dammit exactly through the centre of the polepieces.

    Also included are the original hardshell case and casecandy, allen key, tags, etc.

    I've owned a few Jazz 5s (eg Sadowsky Metros) and this is the one I want to part with least, but I hardly play anymore and I'm selling everything off. I acquired this bass in a deal with a fellow BC'er about three years ago. It's never been gigged or even taken out of the house - just used for noodling.

    I would prefer buyer to collect. I'm in Kingston, Surrey, but can also meet in central London if necessary.

    Summary: near mint, excellent example, with OHSC and choice of guards and pickups.This is priced to sell and that price is firm.

    Photos (of varying quality I'm afraid) here:

    Great to do business with - and it helped that he lived around the corner.

    To avoid Ted having to make another journey, for the first time, I trusted someone enough to take my bass and do the bank transfer when he got home. This was a bit iffy, and I had some slight heebies about it after he'd left.

    Needless to say he made the transfer within an hour or two. Which was nice. :D

    Thanks - that's very gracious of you (and I don't mean that facetiously...).

    One thing's for sure - there are probably quite a lot of people labouring under the misapprehension that they own an 'SB Elite II'...

    Still great basses though!

    Sorry Noel - are you accusing me of deliberately misleading people?

    This bass was sold to me as an SB Elite II. The other listings I set out (which you ignore) describe absolutely identical basses as SB Elite IIs. One goes so far as to say it's a 1984. The other, which remains for sale, has gone uncommented upon by you. What's your game here? You could have PM'd me.

    If I have misled, then I apologise, but it certainly wasn't deliberate. I'll amend my post accordingly, but please watch the attitude when it's not deserved.

    It's neither an SB Elite II nor a Matsumoku product. It's an SB-ELT, first models of which date to '88. If you're lucky the code sticker may still be there - between/below the 1st and 4th tuners.

    According to Clarky's ad from 2010, this is an SB Elite II: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/114092-1984-matsumoku-aria-pro-ii-sb-elite-ii-now-sold-please-delete/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/114092-1984-matsumoku-aria-pro-ii-sb-elite-ii-now-sold-please-delete/[/url]

    This bass, currently on sale elsewhere on BC, is also advertised as an SB Elite II: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210703-aria-pro-2-sb-elite-2-paduak-red/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210703-aria-pro-2-sb-elite-2-paduak-red/[/url]

    Apart from the colour of Clarky's, and the mod to the second example, both are identical to mine, down to the pots and the headstock lettering. Presumably these are both SB-ELTs as well?

    A slice of serious Aria Pro II goodness bought from fellow BC'er in 2006. Through-neck, Paduak Red.

    It's VGC but not perfect. The pots are a bit scratchy, and it could definitely do with a new jack plug. Finish wise, the only problem is that someone has put a screw in the top horn strap button that's very slightly too long and has pushed through the other side of the horn by about 1mm or so - although this is not visible.

    They don't look it, but these basses are passive, with probably the most versatile passive set up I've ever player. Two volumes, coil tap for each P/U and a tone control that seems to have far more range than any I've ever used. It's more like a kind of Q-control.

    The 24 fret through-neck is a joy. The whole thing is a kind of poor man's Alembic, and I'm very sad to see it go.

    Buyer collects please - I'm in Kingston, Surrey. Very welcome to have a try and a cuppa. Could meet in central London.

    Price is firm at £300. No trades please.

    EDIT: This was previously listed as an SB Elite II. I have relisted this as an SB-ELT and repriced, based on observations from a connoiseur...

    Thanks

    Fender Jap '62 Precision, SB/Tort/RW...SOLD.

    Near mint. Bought new by me four years ago. I was thinking of buying an original 72 US P-Bass, but tried this for comparison in the shop and it was just the better bass.

    Never gigged, dropped, or any other nasties. Solely used by me to figure out Watt-Roy and Stevie Wonder lines. Excellent working order.

    Two piece alder body (so pretty light for a P), lovely neck, set up for 45-105s and a low action (though it could do with a new set of strings). No case, but I do have the Fender gigbag it came in.

    Buyer will need to collect please. Very welcome to have a noodle and a cuppa, and see what you think.I'm in Kingston, Surrey (though can meet in central London if that helps).

    Price is very firm at £325 - no trades please.
