  1. Yowza, that's a beauty, incredible price too. I'd wish you good luck with the sale but I suspect you won't need it, can't imagine this'll still be here come Monday.
  2. Have now got a mahoosive roll of large bubble wrap along with an old bike box, so I'd be willing to mummify this and make a double-walled coffin to post it in for an extra 20 notes if anyone fancies taking a punt on Parcelforce not jumping up and down on the neck in transit.
  3. Calm down, it's the solid state versions, no valves here I'm afraid. Early/mid 80's (not sure of the exact year, they were in production from 1983-1988 and the 'R' at the end of the serial number would suggest 1983 but can't be sure) Marshall 5520 bass combo plus the 1934 extension speaker that was made for it. According to drtube dot com: JCM800 5520 Bass, 160W 1×15″ bass combo This solid state bass combo was in production from 1983 upto 1988. It was fitted with a 15″ Celestion G15Z-200 T3629 8Ω 200W speaker. JCM800 1934, Bass 1×15″ 150W 8Ω cabinet. These cabinets were in production from 1983 up to 1986. It fitted with a “specially made Celestion” 15″ 8Ω 150W speaker. This cabinet was primarily meant as an extension cabinet for the 5520 Bass combo. Dual channel combo with a built-in compressor, 4-band EQ on channel A along with a pre-shaped "contour" EQ that does the whole boosted bass & treble / scooped mids thing, along with a 3-band EQ with a different mids frequency on channel B. Comes with a non-original PEDL10013 footswitch (they don't make the originals any more, alas, but any dual latching footswitch will work), without the footswitch connected it defaults to channel A with the compressor enabled, which is the most useful / verstile configuration in my opinon. On the back there are two speaker outputs for 4/8Ω speakers, along with a send/return loop and a 6.35mm DI. Both in fantastic nick, no marks or dings on the tolex and everything's in full working order. Last serviced by Marshall in January 2020 and mostly unused since then, I've seen the internals described as "big 'n' beefy and easy to service". Dimensions for both are 57cm wide x 62cm high x 34cm deep. They're pretty heavy so collection only, the combo weighs 33kg and the extension speaker is a further 25kg. I literally can't get these up and down the stairs any more since I slipped a disc so off they go. 225 notes collected from just outside Leeds.
  4. That's a fantastic price for an M89, surprised no-one's bitten your hand off for that.
  5. It's only a tiny issue, but on android the notifications sent by the app/site don't get dismissed when they're clicked on. They redirect to the correct page but stay active in the notification log and have to be manually dismissed. Can get confusing if you've got multiple conversations on the go but like I say, hardly a showstopper. I don't know if this is configurable server side, usually it just requires setting a metadata tag on the notification payload but I dunno how much of the internal workings Invision exposes in this regard. Tried on 2 different android phones and happens on both, not sure about iOS.
  6. These Player Mustangs are superb guitars, the balance on them is just right and the satin finish on the neck is lovely too. Great price as well, surprised this is still here.
  7. Traded a pedal with Brian, super helpful with great comms and the pedal turned up packed really well the next day.
  8. 20 watt Peavey Microbass practice amp, solid state combo with a 1x8" speaker, has controls for input gain and a 3-band EQ as well as a 6.35mm headphone jack for silent practice. Good condition, no crackling when turning the dials and no dings or scuffs to the tolex, only what look like paint/plaster scrapes on some of the bottom corners. Weighs 8.4kg / 18.5lbs, dimensions are 32cm wide x 36cm high x 24cm deep. Surprisingly capable little amp with tons of low end, perfect for bedroom or garage use. 35 notes posted, or you can knock a fiver off for collection.

  9. What's the weight of this, please?
  10. Pristine 2013 MIJ Jaguar bass, with the series/parallel switch and 2-band active EQ. No dings or marks of any kind, had a full service a couple of months ago with the pickups freshly refoamed. Fully shielded so doesn't suffer from the grounding problems that plagued these models. 4.4kg overall weight, only ever been played with flatwounds so has very little fret wear considering it's age. Currently fitted with a fresh set of standard gauge LaBella Deep Talking Bass flats, nowhere near broken in yet. It's got a lovely gurgling Jazz growl with plenty of scope for tonal modification. The only issue is a tiny gap at one side of skunk stripe down the middle of the neck. Asked about filling it in when it was being serviced and the tech just shrugged, they sometimes do that over time apparantly, it's not in danger of coming loose or falling out. It's not really noticeable when playing but you can feel it when you pick the guitar up. Edit: This has been filled, sanded and buffed out, it's still visible if you know to look for it and you can feel it if you run the soft pad of your thumb down the skunk stripe, but you can't notice it when playing any more. Replaced the strap buttons with outsized Gotoh ones, they're not the best lookers but are super secure, as long as your strap holes aren't gaping open there's no need for additional straplocks. Still have the original silver strap buttons, along with the original parchment pickguard. Love this axe but it's time to face the fact that my back can't support full scale guitars since I slipped a disc, every time I wear this for more than 20 minutes or so I'm in pain for days afterwards so it's time for someone else to enjoy it. Edit: and here's a couple of shots in the daylight, so you can see what it actually looks like:
  11. Plugged it in and had a noodle this afternoon, no-one's gonna mistake it for a top-end axe but it defo punches above it's weight quality-wise.
  12. Boxed as new Pedaltrain Nano pedal board. Edit: M80 & Tick are gone, now just selling the board. Built to an extremely high standard, it has a reinforced exterior with a microfibre-lined padded interior and a reinforced rubber "boot" at the base, plus a rear sleeve, a deceptively capacious front compartment and a upper pocket as well. Reinforced carry handle on the side, as well as shoulder straps on the back that can be tucked into the rear sleeve when not in use. The case interior will fit most awkward-shaped basses, I don't have a Thunderbird to hand but it takes a Jag no problem: Also included, 2 artisinal, hand-crafted foam inserts for propping up short scale basses so their weight isn't pulling on the Headlock if you want to use them with it: The board hasn't been used, and comes with the original velcro and cable ties (although the velcro is allegedly prone to failure so you're probly best off binning that). And here's a rough idea of what you can expect to fit on a Nano: The bag with the tick & empty board only weighs 3.6kg (just shy of 8 pounds) so they're not heavy at all. Full specs are here: https://pedaltrain.com/collections/nano/products/pt-nano-sc 45 notes posted.
  13. You absolute star, I've been looking for basically this exact type of case for ages now. Using a Mono M80 at the minute (which this appears to be based on) with two foam blocks in the base so the weight isn't all on the internal velcro strap but this looks like a perfect replacement. Is this the G-ICONELECTRIC model, then? And does it have straps on the back as well or just the carry handle?
  14. Other way round, chief, updating the title locks the thread and leaves it where it is, I must have done it half a dozen times now. Quite a few people reply to their own threads with a "sold" post, however, which does bump it, and it's that behaviour I was (hilariously) suggesting be worthy of discipline. Just a joke tho, obvs it's not a joke ban them
  15. It's soooooooo annoying to see a listing get bumped to the top of the page just so the OP can let everyone know their thing is no longer available. Super useful, good to know! Ha ha ha only joking I'm not joking ban them

  17. Edit: Decimator's gone, NS-2 still available Couple o' noise gates/suppressors for your consideration, the straightforward in/threshold/out ISP Decimator: Little bit scuffed but in full working order, doesn't have a send/return loop but if you've got bit of buzzing or hiss you need taming this does a great job. Hard velcro on the back. Then we've got the (somewhat more scuffed, but fully working) old faithful workhorse Boss NS-2: Can be used as a simple in/out gate, or you can stash your noisy pedals in the send/return loop and tame them that way. Toggles between the footswitch activating the gate and the gate being always active with the footswitch acting as a mute, plus it allows you control over how hard the gate clamps down when it does kick in. And it's got a 9v pass-through. With the threshold set correctly they both sound transparent to me but there's a lot of chatter on the net about slight tone suck with the NS-2, my tinnitus-addled lugholes can't hear it tho. No boxes for either, 45 notes posted each.
  18. Almighty Bass fuzz by Daredevil for sale, a fierce and feral dirtbox that runs the whole gamut from chonky overdrive to balls-out squelching, gurgling filth. Based on a custom circuit that doesn't crib from any existing fuzz archetypes it's a unique sounding beast, with a super dirty and aggressive sound when cranked. No clean blend (it's not really that kind of pedal) but has a truckload of low end and a mid cut/boost to help it stand out in the mix. Full spec here: https://www.daredevilpedals.com/discontinued/p/almightybass And here's a YouTube demo: Pristine (pretty much as new) condition, no box tho. 65 notes posted.
  19. Darkglass clone from those cheeky copyright-infringing chappies at DemonFx, I'd normally call these counterfeits as they copy the decals as well but luckily for you this one's been given a facelift so no-one need know you're taking the food out of Doug's kids' mouths. Until you turn it on and the brighter-than-the-sun blue LED gives the game away at any road. Decent stab at a B3K clone, slightly darker character overall than the pedal it's based on and the mid boost is centred a little differently but it gets you most of the way there at a fraction of the price. Soft touch footswitch with a top mounting 9v adapter socket. Design by Finland indeed. No box, 25 notes posted.
  20. Ashdown Bass Drive Plus for sale, it's obviously been in the wars but these behemoth pedals are built like literal tanks and it's no worse the wear for it functionally, despite missing its insignia and the battery compartment cover. This is a lovely, warm, low(ish) gain true bypass overdrive with a tube-y character to its sound. No clean blend, but it does allow you to saturate the high and low ends of the signal separately, along with a bias control to affect the overall tone of the output. Input gain and output volume dials complete the controls. With the input gain and both drives fully cranked you're venturing into mid-gain territory but a B3K this is not, it's a relatively subtle low gain drive for the most part. Only getting shot because of the size and weight of the thing; it weighs a full kilogram and realistically I'm not going to give up the amount of board space it requires (roughly a six inch square footprint) for a low-to-mid gain drive that I have very little practical use for. Not gonna lie tho, I'll miss it when it's gone, there's something really aesthetically pleasing about these daft monster bricks that Ashdown put out, silly backlit input gain meter, chonky rollbars and all. Here's one of the only YouTube demos I could find where you can actually hear the thing, they appear to be using an active bass running into the pedal fully cranked so bear that in mind, it doesn't sound this full-on with a passive bass. WARNING: contains Rob "ugly-ass cheapo 6-string" Chapman, so if your tolerance for smug, self-satisfied gurning is low I'd give this one a miss. Review starts at 2:20: No box, obvs. 45 notes posted. ...and just for completeness sake, here's a pic off eBay of a complete one; not my picture but you can see what's missing on the bottom, it's just the metal from the aperture offset by a few millimetres and held in place by a screw:

    EHX POG 3

    Does it still have the horrible warbly "chiming" organ tone of the other POGs +5th is nice, wish that was on the POG2 but other than that it looks like horrendous feature bloat. Hopefully there will be a stripped down, more sensibly priced version in the future.
  22. Tanglewood Warrior 4-string for sale, natural wood finish (not sure of the body material, I believe it's a rosewood fretboard), Warwick knock-off in The Jazz Style. Medium / low action with the odd bit of attendant fret buzz, barely notice it when playing with fingers. Could do with a proper setup but plays and sounds great given its age. Tuners, pickups and electronics all in full working order. Relatively light too, weighing only 3.6kg (just shy of 8 pounds). Fantastic condition given the amount of use it's seen, there's a couple of very minor scuffs on the back surface and the rear of the top horn: Plus an almost invisible graze on the front surface above the neck pickup: Fitted with standard gauge rotosound roundwound strings (I think - red silks at both ends, they've been on it a good long while so can't be 100%), got a set of standard gauge Adagio flats I can throw in with it as I'm unlikely to play a full scale again in the future. Edit: Have found a RokSak (ahem) gigbag I can include with it, and have a Peavey 20W Microbass amp I can let go for another 30 notes which would make a half decent bass starter kit. 100 notes collected from outside Leeds, or I've got a cardboard case an old full scale came in that I can repackage it in and send via the courier of your choice.
  23. Ashdown NM2 Double Drive pedal, stereo pedal with two independant drive signals that can be blended together into a single three-stage mono output for use with a single amp. Each footswitch controls one of the drive signals, one lower gain and the other more ferocious, each with their own dedicated output socket. In "bridge" mode both channels can be stacked together to create a single high gain drive tone for use with a single amp (both output channels send the combined signal in this case). Each channel has it's own drive and volume controls with a master input gain control, as well as switches for the bridge output and a 10db boost for use with passive basses. Nice warm tube-y sound to the drives. Built like a tank and weighing about half as much as one this is a hefty and durable drive, approximately twice the size of a standard Boss pedal. True bypass with a quick access battery compartment on the base or powered by a standard 9v centre negative adapter. It's got some roll bars on top if you need to padlock your bike to something as well. From the manufacturer: NM2 - Nate Mendel Double Drive Pedal Designed from the ground up for Nate Mendel of the Foo Fighters, the NM2 is a unique professional dual distortion pedal capable of driving a stereo rig for huge walls of bass sound. Stereo Sound Sculpting Taking the signal from a bass, the NM2 splits internally to two Outputs. Each output provides the original signal (at the input level) plus their own individual mix of two separate and very different distortion types (one for each output). Because unaltered bass signal is fed from input to the output and the distortion effects are added to it, the resulting sound is always full and dynamic, with the effects adding rich overtones to the core sound of your bass. For use with a stereo rig, each output can be fed to a separate amplifier and the individually adjustable bass overdrive effects switched IN or OUT for Output 1, Output 2 or both together. For use with a single amp, using the 1+2 switch means both effects can be routed to Output 2. Setting the level Whether you're using an active or passive bass, the Ashdown VU meter in combination with the Input level knob let's you easily find the sweet spot, ensuring you get the best possible tone in and out - whatever instrument you're using. Built for the road We know the rigours of the live gigging, that's why we build our pedals tough enough for whatever the road throws at them. Metal casings, premium controls and switches, recessed knobs and kickguards to protect screens and VU meters – bring it on! True Bypass Switching We don't mess with your tone. Ashdown Pedals feature genuine 'true bypass' switching for zero-colouration of your input signal when the pedal isn't in use. The Output level control lets you dial in the perfect balance between the effect and the true bypass level. YouTube demo: 55 notes posted
  24. 100 watt bass combo from Ashdown featuring a 15 inch speaker, 3-band EQ with controls for input gain and output volume, along with a "deep" switch that applies a pre-shaped effect emphasising low frequencies and smoothing out higher ones (kinda like a mid scoop). Single channel input along with 6.35mm jacks for aux input, headphones and an additional speaker out. Tight & punchy tone with clean and precise definition, perfect for practice or gigs in smaller rooms. The rubber seal at the end of the carry strap has degraded and exposed the metal underneath, which in turn has caused some damage to the tolex around the strap mounts. Have taped the damaged parts down and wrapped the ends so as to prevent further damage, the carry handle itself still works as normal. 80 notes collected.
