Platypus

<<<NOW SOLD>>> Make in Japan 1990/91 this bass plays really well with a fast slim neck and great tone. There are some cosmetic marks & scuffing, though I would consider them to be superficial and two dings, not on front. There is some light pitting on the tuners. Frets and board are both in excellent condition. The bass weighs around 8 lbs. This is an excellent jazz bass to play and I believe it would put many far more expensive basses to shame I'm looking for what I paid, £375 delivered Anyone is welcome to come over and try it at Harrow, Middx. Edit: I had listed this as made between 1984- 1987, based on the information provided on Basschatad when i bought it. Though, having checked the seriel number it was made in 1990/91 [url="http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2104/dscf1613q.jpg"]http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2104/dscf1613q.jpg[/url] [url="http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/1238/dscf1610l.jpg"]http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/1238/dscf1610l.jpg[/url] [url="http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/2609/dscf1609g.jpg"]http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/2609/dscf1609g.jpg[/url] [url="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/570/dscf1608b.jpg"]http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/570/dscf1608b.jpg[/url]

[quote name='molan' post='1334908' date='Aug 10 2011, 01:00 PM']Blimey P - have you been hoarding a secret collection of small micro amps to test them all against each other [/quote] Ha, you're not far wrong! I was running an Mark Bass F1, Streamliner 600 & the Shuttle 9. The Streamliner was great generally, though didn't do my Celinder Update justice. The Celinder was great with the other two. The Shuttle was the most versatile of all and made everything sound good. Well, I should have stopped there tbh! I, by chance, tried a Mesa all valve beastie and thought that's the one for me. So, my quest for the perfect micro amp ended with a no longer in production 58lb mofo. Couldn't be happier.

[quote name='bigevilman' post='1334630' date='Aug 10 2011, 10:16 AM']Does it come with the case?[/quote] I don't have a Genz bag for the Shuttle, though I do have a basic shoulder bag which fits well and will be included.

<<<SOLD>>> I'm selling my mint condition Genz Benz Shuttle 9 amp Unmarked with instruction manual, will get some photos up tomorrow £480 I'm based in Harrow Middx, though work in Central London Add £10 for p&p, if required

Thats a very good price for what is a great 6 string. I played a Bongo 6 at the London Music Show a few years ago and it was very impressive

[quote name='Beedster' post='1313084' date='Jul 22 2011, 06:53 PM']Own up then, who's the b*****d who beat me to it [/quote] Not me, though I did sneak a Mesa Buster all valve head, from here last Sunday!

[quote name='olivetti' post='1306716' date='Jul 17 2011, 02:44 PM']my good wife,at that same moment discovered an indescression in my marriage,[/quote] love that quote - good luck with whatever you decide to do

Hi Dave, its a great head for sure and as you say build quality and finish are both excellent. Its just a case that I find the Shuttle 9 suits me a bit better. Not much in it tbh - I just miss the extra bit of top end thAt I get from the Shuttle. This head is on hold for a couple of days for a potential buyer

[quote name='gillento' post='1278049' date='Jun 22 2011, 06:46 AM']great little amp![/quote] Can't argue with that!

'fraid not mate- you just reminded me that I have a fretless of my own to sell!
