  1. Hi, Up for sale here is a very decent heavily padded Proel guitar gig bag, can also fit super short scale basses! All zips work fine, no issues or tears anywhere. £25 collected from Wickford, Essex or £35 posted.
  2. Hi all, Up for sale is this perfectly respectable Voyager branded semi-hard case. It's in good condition, no zip issues or breaks anywhere, it's lightweight and good and sturdy. It'll house most basses, happy check a specific bass if you give me the details. £35 posted or £25 collected from Wickford, Essex. Bass not included! Dirt cheap for a decent case... Russ.
  3. Hi, I have a massive surplus of straps! So this one (and probably others) needs a new home. This is a Canadian Made strap (a Steph OT-901 to be specific), it's suede with a leather insert, fully adjustable from 35"-ish to 50"-ish. It's used but in good condition. The 3.5" width and padded suede underside make it really very comfortable. £20 collected from Wickford, Essex or £25 posted. Any questions, please ask!
  4. Hi, Up for sale here is my Ibanez RX40, it's a Korean made HSS strat in white, I've just restrung it today and given it a decent set up as it has sat unused for some years! The action is really nice and low, it plays and feels great. The white has discoloured a bit over time to a slightly off-white cream, as have the plastics, but to my eyes it looks better not being bright white! Subjective of course... The Proel gig bag is great quality, these are near £50 on their own. I am happy to post it, but this is at the buyers risk and uninsured. Collection from Wickford, Essex for £90 or posted for £100. Any questions, please ask!
  5. Hi all, Up for sale here is my Vintage V900 bass (pretty sure it's a V900!) It's an active bass, small body, nice and lightweight too. I've just put some 'nearly new' strings on it as the ones that were on it probably hadn't been changed in a decade! I've given it a bit of a set up and a battery change as it has sat unused for some years so now the action is nice and low (probably could go lower if you wanted) and it sounds and feels great! I'd say condition wise it's a very solid 8/10 with a few minor zings here and there but all very minor! It'll come with a Voyager branded semi-hard case as seen in the photos. Collection from Essex for £90 or posted (uninsured and at your risk!) for £100. Any questions, please ask.
  6. If I didn't have a UL610 I'd snap this up... Sounds immaculate paired with a UL901!
  7. I'll lob Binky in the mix...
  8. I've already edited my post to remove that comment. I'd understood your comment to be suggesting just that one single line you quoted was the entire description.
  9. Why did you have to post this? I don't have a grand to spare!
  10. My guitarist uses an all valve UK made Series One 100w head and 410 cab that he keeps in my practice space and that I 'occasionally' use. Made by the same chaps that made Marshall amps. It sounds excellent and is absolutely a quality product. Never personally used their bass amps though.
  11. Go used, buy both. Solved.
  12. That neck looks awesome, but I have to say the knob spacing looks quite odd! Was that a custom request? Still, a stunner of a bass.
  13. Just gives everyone a fair chance to be at the top of the pile! These Aliens are miles apart from the thinline ones available at the moment. Great build quality and tone!
  14. Etiquette is to not bump within 36 hours. Lovely bass, it have an Alien 6. Fantastic preamps.
  15. Bought a set of 6 Hipshot tuners from Nick for a great price on Friday, he posted them on Monday and they arrived on Tuesday and we're fitted 10 minutes later! A great transaction all round, really pleased with now having my Warwick LX6 back up and running with much better quality machine heads than the stock ones... @castlemaine22 is another credit to BassChat! Cheers sir. 👍 Russ.
  16. Of course announced AFTER tickets have sold out... I mean it was fairly obvious his appearance would be very limited, and tickets would have sold out even if they said this before hand, but doing so directly after tickets have sold out feels very underhanded.
  17. I have 5 ACGs at the moment, I think I've owned another 5 or 6 over the years. I have two 33" 6ers, a 34" 9 string, a 24" 6 string and a 7 string headless guitar. All are fantastic beasts. The 34" 9 is absolutely crystal clear across the strings - the glassy clarity of the treble strings really makes for a writers instrument. The two 33" 6ers are both Salace E-Type basses - my personal favourite body shape by far for looks and ergonomics. The Bs are perfectly useable, I'd suggest buying the ACG specific 33" Newtone Strings. The 24" 6er does suffer a little bit when played unplugged in terms of feel and sound because of the much shorter scale, but still sounds massive plugged in. For context, I've owned at least one of almost all known bass brands over the years from the cheap to the highest end boutique basses money can buy and ACG (as well as Conklin, BeeBasses and Warwick) are the ones I always come back to and certainly the ones I have owned the most of! It helps that Alan is a great guy to order a custom bass from, plenty of regular communication, questions answered very quickly and photos sent all along the journey. Sound wise, the below song was recorded with a 33" ACG Salace E-Type 6 string. https://open.spotify.com/track/3PQ5cf4uIpFgrZJojwHbMH?si=z0oZY-F7SgeW0ZoWP-tL0A&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A3rKKrxENJGOLArJ4sxEFpq This is the 9 string (when I was 7 stone heavier!) This is a Salace 6 33" (a very quick demo): And this is the 7 string guitar a few years ago with me just noodling about: Hope that helps! Happy to answer and questions should you have any. Russ.
  18. This used to be mine, bought it brand new from GuitarGuitar during a ridiculous sale they had a couple of years ago. It's a monster... Nearly bought it back from Bunion a few weeks back but it wasn't quite the right timing. Wish I did given the 'circumstances' of the discussed sale!
  19. I think you'll find that's a futon sir! But yes, screams dodgy to me...
  20. Picked up this on Thursday. LX basses are genuinely excellent things... I've had a few top end masterbuilt Warwicks over the years and the LXs are really just as good.
  21. To chime in, I've bought a few things over the years, some dirt cheap, some well over a grand. Never had a bad experience yet, found the team easy to speak to and quick to get back to me. Can't really fault them.
  22. Ahh man, I was in Blackburn on business on Wednesday just gone! I'd have had this if I'd seen it earlier... not making the journey back up from Essex for at least another 3 months.
  23. Hi all, I'm going to sell my very recently acquired Squier Affinity Jazz Bass VI as A: as genuinely good as it is, I really miss 24 frets and B: Something else has unexpectedly come along that I 'must have'. It is absolutely brand new, touched by me for all of 5 minutes. I have all the original packaging etc. It is totally unmarked with zero playtime except for me giving it the briefest of test runs. These are £330 from most places and yes Thomann do them for £235 BUT there is a 12 week wait, so what I am asking is that same price plus postage without the 4 month wait. I won't reduce the price as I'd rather just keep it and I'm not after trades. So £250 posted to you or £235 collect. It's mint, it's genuinely exceptionally good for the price and it's all boxed!

  24. Definitely a fan of @Cosmicrains work. Love that 6er too... If you could kindly turn that picture into the actual bass and send it to me, I'd be much obliged.
