  1. Made by the guru John East, this unit adds fantastic EQ to passive or active electric basses and I have even used it with my double basses with great results. The switching has EQ bypass and mid frequency in/out, plus a bright toggle. On this particular one, John upgraded the balanced output that it can also be used with phantom power (away with batteries:-) so that I can go straight to the PA or even record. (probably the only one with this). I have John’s pre-amps in my basses (fretted and fretless) and I have never looked back. However I have a couple of classic basses that I wanted to leave stock but still have my familiar sound...hence the external pedal. ‘A great way to experience the East UK sound without having to mod your bass or have another sound option and added flexibility’. In great condition, and I’ll include a power supply. Asking £175 plus p&p to the UK. Now £150
  2. SY-300 Guitar Synthesizer by Roland. In mint condition with box, manual, power supply. I’m selling on behalf of an old friend who bought it out of curiosity and did not use out of his house. I have one myself and I can tell you it does what is says on the box! Can be used with any analogue instrument with direct conversion with no latency!! I use it with bass guitar and I’m very pleased with the result. (Especially since I can now compete with my keyboard playing mates:-). Roland says: “Grab your favorite axe and dive into an extraordinary world of sound creation with the SY-300 Guitar Synthesizer. The SY-300 can be used with all your guitars right away, with no special pickup required—just plug into the standard 1/4-inch jack and play! Thanks to revolutionary new BOSS technology, you’re able to explore fat, analog-style polyphonic synth sounds with zero latency, seamlessly extending the natural expressiveness and familiar feel of your own instrument. In addition, you can shape your normal guitar with the synth’s filters, amps, and LFOs to create all sorts of cool sounds never heard before. From unique lead textures to rich, evocative soundscapes, the SY-300 brings untapped dimensions of inspiration and creativity to your music.” Collection is best as you can try or postage at buyer’s expense to UK only please.
  3. £1800. gets it! May even deliver if within reasonable distance (or on my way to a gig...)
  4. I'm with above guys.....can't see pic...?
  5. String spacing is 18mm To be frank, I do think this is the way! 🧐 I've been asked to sell 'cheaper' by returning it to stock...as I replied, it seems to be going backwards. My genuine belief is that this is now a much better instrument.
  6. Wired in parallel but can be in series...even single/dual coils I’m sure switches can be fitted (micro for sure...) I’ll get around to a cavity pic ASAP.
  7. Alesis micro series used to be the bomb!! Here is a nice vintage with a power supply included. Studio use intended but small enough to fit on a pedal board if that’s what you want.... Blurb: ‘This is “the other” vintage compressor from Alesis. The Micro Limiter is a 1/3U stereo limiter which is famous for smashing drums, nuking snares, mullering cymbals and squashing bass guitar Although Alesis call it a limiter, at low compression levels – when the green LEDs are lit – it uses a ratio between 2:1 and 8:1. With the yellow LEDs on CR is around 10:1 and, with the final red LEDs lit, 16:1. It uses a soft-knee approach, so there is always some compression going on, but higher input levels means more compression and a higher ratio There’s no Threshold control – just Input, Release & Output controls and an In/Out switch. The back panel is equally minimal with input & output jacks and a power socket Release time is the key here – with fast release times and lots of compression you get pumping & breathing but slowing up the release changes the character of the sound immensely. At long release times the Micro Limiter is in gain reduction all the time but the depth of compression is still driven by the input signal. It’s possible to use huge amounts of gain reduction but still maintain articulation on signals like bass guitar. In this respect it’s more flexible than one of my favourites, the dbx 160X The Micro Limiter has another big advantage over its competitors – it’s a stereo device. This means stereo drum ambience, parallel buses and backing vocals are all targets for some serious compression. It will do subtle compression as well as vicious but it excels at the nasty stuff.’ manual here: http://www.synthfool.com/docs/Alesis/MicroSeries_Manual.pdf Can post at cost...
  8. Hmmmmmm Still here and so bumping
  9. Thanks for the comments. It is a keeper but I'm bursting at the seams :-) so heavy compromises must be made....
  10. Sorry for the late reply. Gigs were demanding. It is nice isn’t it😉 This can be returned to stock yes, but the improvements are so good that I would ask why... I prefer to sell as is now simply because it’s better and obviously less hassle. My opinion is the stock setup is not as versatile, and lacked true ‘oomph’ and sizzle. ie: going from a p bass sound to a jazz bass sound. Layman terms but you would get the point if/when you hear it!
  11. Sorry for late reply. Gigs were a demanding. Slight widening of the holes to fit the East pots. Restoring is just swapping parts I believe. Yes, this one has a truss rod....
  12. Playing it today. So good, I may change my mind!!🤫
  13. Heads up.... Bass on it’s own: £4995
