  1. *Price includes UK postage* Now sold! An original that works…. This model has the LED.
  2. *PRICE INCLUDES UK POSTAGE* Well….this I’m taking a heavy knock as I bought this last year but not used…so in mint condition with original box (no power supply as none came with original purchase). I was impressed when I tried as it tracked beautifully but I now have two multi-effect units that fulfill my needs. *Description here: The SY-1 transforms any guitar or bass into a versatile synthesizer that’s fun, inspiring, and ready to play. Backed by advanced tech first developed for the SY-300, this super-cool pedal delivers a huge selection of analog-style synth sounds while occupying minimal space on your board. What’s more, all the sounds are polyphonic, allowing you to play both single notes and chords.
  3. *SOLD* Decent little thing this is!! Full of fun tones and super portable. It’s in good condition, works fine (signs of use),and comes with original power supply. Note: When I got it, it came with a useful mod, a push switch was added to go to bypass mode (without having to push the two original switches simultaneously. (See pics) Collection from Aylesbury or UK postage at buyer’s cost.

  5. The fretless Retro B! What a vibrant instrument!!
  6. You trying to change my mind??🫣 Testing my will power here!🤯 Cheers Lemmy👍🏾
  7. Aaaagreed!!!😎 Plays above its price range too!!!🏆
  8. Only used to ship a new bass to me…. So in mint condition! I have one already so this is spare. Specs online. Collection from Aylesbury or plus postage to buyer.
  9. Gotcha with thanks! I’ll attack again tomorrow 🤞🏾
  10. Wow! 😵‍💫 Jack sockets are in parallel. Fine! I triple checked all joints. Fine! Removed ground loop. Fine! Checked that the pickup coils work. Fine! Still three positions: but they are (from furthest anti-clockwise): NC(single)/dual/dual. * Could it be that I need to shift the wiring around? ie: Start pin 1 at a different point. On looking internally at the switch, the wipers combine pins correct? So maybe it stars at a different point?? 🤯🤯
  11. Ok great! Clockwise in playing position (looking from outside). Furthest anti-clockwise is loudest (but seems to be BC)?), then next two seem to be both coils). Confused.com😵‍💫 Ground: Ok I’ll check that…(could that stop extra position?) Jack: yes there is an extra Jack socket (one on plate and one on side)
  12. So….did as you said but now only getting three positions. Not getting furthest clockwise….arrrgggggggg🤯 Seems like I’m getting neck and two dual…. NC = neck coil BC = bridge coil
  13. Ah….about to run off to a gig. I’ll dive back in and update asap much thanks
  14. Thanks for the response👍🏾🤞🏾 So to explain (better) I hope: Volume is to the left (neckward), jack socket is to the right. pick-up front/neckward coil (pos/neg): red/blue pickup rear/bridgeward coil: (pos/neg): red/black Out to vol: orange Switch connectors: black Ground: green
  15. So from left to right: Vol, tone, switch, Jack. That is in playing position (so rotary clockwise from on top (anti viewed from below)1-4)
  16. Right! Hope I’m not being thick!!! Wired it as suggested but only getting two positions (that is: sound)?? Clockwise rotation: Positions 2 and 3. (1&4 silent). Me “Duh?? 😵‍💫” edit: sounds like parallel to series.
  17. That looks like it!! Much thanks. I’ll go for all four positions (greedy) and update.
  18. Gotcha! For me, series for finger style and parallel for slap (of course adjusting between the volume levels). Singles: front for slap/fingerstyle and rear for Jaco type (perhaps fretless l) sound.
  19. Yep. I hear you. On close monitoring I can hear the difference between the single options …not sure an audience would/could appreciate… I must say though that it’s very useful when using two dual coils. The single/single combinations (neck vs bridge singles) have different timbres especially for slap bass! Then in combination with series/parallel…..kid in a candy shop!!!!!
  20. Hi, maybe this has been covered but I could not find so thus my new post. I had a couple go bad on me so I wanted to replace. They looked different physically so I guess it’s a new wiring process. I’m trying to achieve 4 positions from a Music Man style pickup (in whatever order is best): single/single/series/parallel. The switch to be used is in the photo. Anyone with success on this?
  21. Finally got a chance to update! So….i got some longer grub screws and with a combination of healthy suggestions from the helpful BC guys (you all), and the longer screws, I have a happy bass pal and a great playing bass! It does seem that the original barrel saddles sit a bit higher than the Hipshot saddles but the issue was also with the neck. I left the shim out, tightened the truss rod, then by feel/measurements checked the standard things like: nut height, relief, intonation, string spacing. Seems to be hold as the owner was gigging with much satisfaction. Cheers guys Topic closed!! (For now)
  22. *READY TO GIG* (set up nicely!) *CAN DELIVER WITH A REASONABLE DISTANCE FROM AYLESBURY EN ROUTE TO WORK* This was built using Warmoth parts. Not by myself but I will give as much info as I know/can. The ‘branding’ is lacquered in but easy enough to remove and replace with your own. Set up nicely, sounds great, balances well and definitely would be quite expensive to do now using Warmoth (or any decent quality as parts/shipping costly). So here’s a chance to have a bargain and a great instrument in one go!!…Hopefully I can add clear and helpful photos (or pm me for private emails) *Neck: 35” neck 5 piece bolt on (6 bolts) maple/?(looks like Purpleheart) with 24 large frets and black Gotoh tuners in a 3/2 position, bone nut, single truss rod (headstock accessible) and Ebony fingerboard. There are also side markers in ‘between frets’ position. *Body: Solid maple with stringers that match the neck. (Stringers look like Purpleheart) to me, but correct me if I’m wrong). Deep neck pocket holds the neck securely (6 bolts) with no movement at all!! *Electronics: Passive with Volume/Tone (switchable)/4 way rotary switch (single/single/series/parallel) with side mounted Jack socket (even this has Purpleheart). The controls are recessed into the body and there is no back cavity (don’t bask as I don’t know how he did it). Single MM style pickup with dual coils (switchable). Marleaux branded ETS (German) bridge with quick release slots and lockable/adjustable saddles. (For string spacing/height/intonation). The overall condition is good with signs of use but no major damages. Collection/trials in Aylesbury. Shipping can be buyer arranged or paid by buyer. Orderly queue please😇 edit: Well…I did weigh it (albeit) on a dodgy luggage scale. It’s just over 10lbs. Solid!! I also looked at the controls a bit more and it’s really clever if you’re into that sort of thing. The Tone control is actually a rotary switch that dials in tone in or completely out. The pickup switch is also a rotary switch with 4 positions: Rear coil/Front coil/Both coils parallel/Both coils series. All positions sounds great and makes it quite a versatile instrument. (The pot is a bit scratchy but maybe from lack of use).
  23. *READY TO GIG* *CAN DELIVER WITH A REASONABLE DISTANCE FROM AYLESBURY EN ROUTE TO WORK* Bought this last year as a temporary until I got my new ACG bass. I got the new bass but still held on to the Aria as a back up and a travel instrument. I also now have an travel bass🫣 So something must give…….. Now it’s time for someone else to put this to playing duties and enjoy😊 Still in very good condition (look at the pics…only one obvious blemish) Now with professional mods read below.👇 Description: *It was a passive bass but I was missing my East UK. active uni-preamp sound and flexibility so I decided to upgrade the electronics and so added an East mid stack and Bass/Treble stack. Quality!! *I also changed the tuners to the better Schallers for more stable tuning. Quality!! *Better quality & longer string tree/post added to cover all the strings. *Shielded the cavity to make it more resistant to hum/buzz. *Japanese high mass brass bridge replaced the lighter original. This tightened up the high end, notably the slap sound (especially with the active electronics). Quality!! * New Overwater brand strings! *A decent gig bag is also included in the sale. So now it owes me a bit more than the asking price, which I will not cover but at least get close hopefully. Really good sounding, plays easily, looks great and can be used in most situations! **Collection from Aylesbury unless the buyer willing to cover courier arrangement/cost.** I’m willing to deliver if it coincides with a gig journey or otherwise reasonable. Ask away for any further information…..
