  1. Agreed! Sounds like a Mega Jazz bass I tell ya!!
  2. Nice ain't it? There is also a 5 string version... Not a lightweight. Solid but manageable. (I'm suspicious about light basses....I must be old school😎)
  3. As part of my clearing out, I'm selling this G Lab Bass Wah. (I have a Wah on my multieffect pedal so it's a luxury). Great piece of kit in very good condition (only a bit of glue residue below (where the Velcro was attached), and in original box. Works well for guitar-like wah but also for funky bass playing ! Very important😉 No power supply included but it uses standard 9v (or battery). Price includes UK postage but collection from Aylesbury possible.
  4. Now sold - please delete and cheers guys! I am going after something (thats a bit dear) so I've bitten the bullet and decided to move some of my basses and gear. [Note: ad updated with slightly better pics, so you can see the beauty😎] 1st up: Reluctant sale of one of the best and underrated 4 strings I have played. It has been highly and professionally modified for me (souped up) as a 'keeper' with: *East UK Uni pre - Active bass pre-amp that simply is world class. *East UK BLI - battery low indicator unit (tell you when your 9v is almost out of power) *Hot-Rods custom made pickups - Specially made for this bass. It is like having four Jazz style pickups in a two shell (EMG sized) package (switichable between the coils). The combination of this and the East UK has turned this instrument into a very versatile beast. From Marcus slap to Jaco jazz to Pino P-bass...it's all possible! (Come try and see for yourself). *Metal nut - Brings the open strings closer to the fretted notes timbre. (looks better too!) From Hot Rods: "Hi Mike, Glad that you like the pickups so far! Okay, wiring: they are wound and wired in a similar fashion to a normal humbucking pickup but of course with the exception that each coil is a true Jazz bass pickup. To wire them in series you will need to join the red and green wires together and cover the join with tape or shrink tubing. If you plan to coil split, then the joined red/green will go to your switch. White is live and black is earth. Some details on the pickups: the neck pickup is two Jazz bass pickups wound to vintage specs and placed side by side - both pickups use forbon flatwork and eight magnetised poles. Either could be used individually if desired for a 'true' singlecoil sound or in series (as supplied). The bridge pickup is slightly different - it uses a vintage spec wound Jazz bass pickup nearest to the neck but the coil nearest to the bridge uses identical flatwork and magnets but with a 'hotter' coil wind. When selected on its own this coil will have a thicker and warmer single coil tone than a traditional Jazz bass. I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any help wiring them up... : ) Cheers for now, Dave Walsh Eternal Guitars & Hot Rod Pickups ESP original specs: http://www.guitar.com.au/guitars/bass/esp/j.htm ESP J-1004 Features bolt-on construction 34" scale ash body w/quilted maple top maple neck w/dual graphite reinforcement rods rosewood fingerboard 38mm nut width abalone dot inlays w/model name at 12th fret EMG 35-J/P4 active pickups [NOW CUSTOM MADE HOT RODS] volume and balance controls w/EMG BTS active EQ [NOW EAST-UK UNI-PRE ACTIVE PREAMP] gold satin hardware Hipshot ultralite tuners Hipshot "A" style bridge w/string-thru-body 21 XJ frets Condition: Very good. No dings or major scratches (it has been played so maybe the odd show of that). I hope the photos can do it justice (always better to see of course). I will sell with a decent gig bag. Set up nicely and I may even toss in a set of strings..(I may have a new 4 string set lying around somewhere...no promise). Sound: Like I said above..."It does everything!" Plus you can load the strings via the bridge or through the body. It does make a difference I tell you. If I've missed anything (I'm sure someone here will tell me) feel free to contact me for more info/audition etc...
  5. Bought a couple of months ago...got too busy to really get into it ....decided to stick with my few separate pedals. My opinion: does a lot...really good..too much for me...keeps up with the modern times with the bluetooth capability, sound, set-up, Boss build quality etc....Great tool for the bass player who wants it all in one package as it has a built in pedal, various bass amps and all the Boss effects. Comes with original box, manuals, power supply and great quality gig bag. Taking a 'rental knock' so treating it like an ex-display one in the price..plus the added gig bag. Grab yerself a bargain! Collection from Aylesbury preferred but can ship if buyer arranges the courier. regards
  6. Hmmmm, I’ll have a look. Maybe it says don’t feed the animals😬
  7. Yep! Easily done. It is a practise amp. (more of a cheeky monkey than a Gorilla...but serves the purpose well:-)
  8. Wow......and you're counting the days.... Buy it or go practise....🤫
  9. Not in a van yet, but blinfolded and tied up! Might swap for a ransom of 5 string Jazz pups!!
  10. Not at the moment....clearing some space (let's say keeping the GAS at bay)
  11. Totally agreed! Shame it has become surplus to me now...I'm even having second thoughts....😱
  12. Schertler quality and sound. Flexible and can be used with various instruments (I used with electric and double basses) and also voice. It comes with a padded bag for transportation and protection. Serviced and all works as it should. Note: The original colour was grey but that started to look a bit faded so it was finished in black. Looks better I say.... Also I added a sprung handle below for ‘tilt’ purposes to use as a monitor with a better listening angle. Professional gear with a lovely warm acoustic sound. More info can be found on line.... Collection from Aylesbury.
  13. The clearout continues..... Sonata Bb trumpet with standard mouthpiece and lovely case. In beautiful condition and sounds lovely. My son used this but has now upgraded as a reward for passing his grade! Collection from Aylesbury (but could drop off on route to work within a reasonable distance.... if that helps).
  14. The clearout continues...... Small/portable/light etc.... Combo amp that can be used with various electric instruments. Serviced, so in good condition and does what it is intended to do. (ie: cannot do a full on gig!!:-). Good for beginners or even for pros to practice at home or for light jams etc.... Collection from Aylesbury (or can be delivered if on route to work within a reasonable distance).
  15. Love the good comments😉keep 'em coming😇. It's a good instrument but I'm playing a 4 string fretless ABG at the moment...and happy.....so this fella is not seeing daylight (or nightlight) sadly.
  16. Ahem...back to the topic at hand....... MB1, there is an Ovation waiting on ya...
  17. Edit: SOLD. Much thanks👍🏽 I must be mad but...here goes..! This is a rare 90’s round-back, fretted 5 string, acoustic/electric model, with multi sound-holes. Black finish, with the traditional Ovation leaf design, gold tuners, OP24+ pre-amp, bound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. In gorgeous condition but not being played much hence the reluctant sale. It does not come with a proper case/gig bag but I may have a soft case somewhere that I would give. (Note: now found! Yea!!!) Collection preferred from Aylesbury for safety, and that way you can actually hear how great it sounds...., but I can deliver (after payment) to a reasonable distance en route to a gig etc.....or you can take the chance. Professional set-up with round wounds, nice low action at the nut and bridge. If you decide to change strings, you may have to adjust accordingly. I’ll put a fresh 9v battery in with the sale. Thanks for looking.
  18. Decided to sell this as a project with various package options. If you’re handy with a soldering iron, you can have some fun and a great sounding jazz bass. I have one that I’ve already done up with great results so this is surplus. The bass is Squier Deluxe Jazz V in a Sunburst finish. It is not new and so not pristine but in pretty good condition with a few marks. Small repair in the back of the neck (Doesn’t affect playing or quality of the neck and can only be seen from the back..hopefully all shown in pics). Also the battery box tab is broken but it still works. The options include pickups from Jim Cairnes (look up this guy!) and stuff from a Yamaha BB605 bass (they do everything properly!!) Series: Deluxe Series Body: Basswood Neck: Maple, C-Shape, Fingerboard: Ebonol, 12” Radius (305 mm) No. of Frets: 20 Medium Jumbo Bridge: Standard 5-Saddle Machine Heads: Standard Open-Gear Tuners, (4-Over / 1-Under) Hardware: Chrome Pickguard: None Scale Length: 34” (864 mm) Width at Nut: 2.008" (51 mm) 1) Bass without pickups or electronics £125 (collected or postage arranged by buyer) 2) Bass plus Jim Cairnes B505 pickups (not installed) £195 (above conditions) 3) Bass plus Yamaha BB605 pickups and electronics (not installed) £225 (above conditions) 4) Any of the above options with Fender gig bag, plus £20.
