  1. Feels like a guitar in your hands. Sounds like a bass should. Love the pickup and the ACG pre. Gives you so much tone versatility.
  2. Recently bought this from Grant on here. I really wanted to love it, because its size would mean less shoulder pain on the heavier weekends of gigging i have. But after trying to get my head (and hands ) around it for 4 days, i am not gelling with it. "Why not take more time to get used to it". I just don't have that luxury tbh. I need a bass i can potentially gig with straight away, and this one will take me too long to be "gig ready". So this is your chance to own a custom made bass guitar from one of UKs top luthiers. The ACG is a 26.5" scale bass, with standard tuning. Unbelievable work from Alan at ACG. The work is absolutely top notch. Which is another reason i wanted to give this a try. I know the standards of Alans work. The ACG pre amp filter on board gives you all the tonal variety you could possibly need. And it has a passive/active switch too. At £1250 this is a massive saving on buying one brand new. And it is in A1 condition. Here is the exact spec: Top Wood: Fractal Walnut Body Wood: White Limba Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck Wood: 5 piece Maple/Mahogany Finger Board: Wenge Scale: 26.5″ Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Pickups: ACG RFB humbucker Hardware: Hipshot Type B Bridge 17mm spacing Gotoh GB350 Resolite tuners Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks Custom Newtone strings Pre-amp: ACG/East P-Retro with Active/Passive Trials are welcome. I can send it via courier, but its at the buyers expense and risk. Any questions, give me a shout Pictures are from Grants post, but its obviously in the exact same condition
  3. Would now look at combos and cash adjustments my way. Top quality bass cabinet from Bergantino. If you want the official spec and spiel, its here: Bergantino Audio Systems HD Series HD212 Speaker Cabinet For Bergantino Audio it all starts with the High-Definition HD series of bass guitar speaker cabinets. The cabinetry on the HD series employ a precision tuned cabinet architecture and the enclosures are built with the finest 100% Baltic birch plywood available. The HD series are covered in traditional tolex for durability (no more carpet fuzz for your cat to claw) and they all employ a rigid black grille to protect the drivers. The internal components used are extremely high quality and they are of Bergantino design. No ‘off-the-shelf’ parts are used. Woofers have ceramic magnets w/ vented pole pieces and the low-end on this series of cabinets is full and round – they can handle high power output from your amplifier. The HD series have remained a favorite of finger style and pick players because of the tight-creamy low end found with these cabinets. Each of the HD series cabinets has a high intelligibility tweeter mated to the woofers through a custom designed phase-coherent crossover with a tweeter control. Bergantino HD series cabinets are not as heavy as some of the other cabinets available, but will produce a more accurate, full-bodied and authentic representation of your bass guitar in live and studio settings. Woofers: 2-12” Ceramic Magnet Woofers w/ Vented Pole Pieces Tweeter: High Intelligibility HD Series Tweeter Cabinet Design: Ported Cabinet Material: Baltic Birch Plywood Cabinet Covering: Black Tolex Impedance: 4-ohms Power Handling: 700W RMS Crossover: Custom Phase-Coherent Crossover w/ Tweeter Control Frequency Response: 40hZ – 15KhZ Sensitivity: 104db @ 2.83v / 1-meter Dimensions: 31”H x 18-1/2”W x 15”D Weight: 79 Lbs. ProNet Price: $1089.00 It's in great condition as its been protected by the cover. One of the corners has got marks, which i've included in the photos. Sounds immense in a band setting. Can be couriered at your cost. Will be well packaged. Ideally would prefer a trade for something smaller and lighter with a cash adjustment my way. Trials welcomed. Any other questions give me a shout.
  4. These are quality cabs, in excellent condition
  5. Ive just been told on a different selling platform, by the original owner, that it is a Highway One. She changed the bridge herself. Just for clarity I dont know if thats better or worse for me 🤣
  6. Yup, apparently so. I can only say, it was like this when i got it.
  7. About 20 mins east away, near Junction 36 of the M4
  8. Yeh we have started doing the same. It ended up like we were only rehearsing to learn 1 song we would never play again.
  9. If we are in a busy period (April - September) when we are gigging most weeks, we very rarely practice. In the quieter periods we will usually do two a month at a push. I think its been mentioned above, but the key is when everyone agrees to learn a song, post the version of the song you intend to learn in the forum of communicating you use (FB, whats app , slack etc), then you have to learn it. Its really that simple. It is for us anyway. Guess it means relying on everyone in the band pulling their weight and having trust in each others musical abilities.
  10. This is a Fender precision USA Highway One Made in 2008. Thanks for the info on that Karl. It's in great condition as you can see from the photos. Couple of light blemishes, but really nothing too bad at all. Sounds exactly like you'd expect a P bass to sound! Currently strung with flats. Comes with spare torte pick guard, that I quite like too. Apparently these are meant to come with a different bridge. I don't have the original, only this one. Neck is pretty slim. Definitely not like a baseball bat. Happy for you to come try it out. Can courier, but at the risk of the buyer! Any questions, give me a shout.
  11. It says it is on everything I can find about it too 👍
  12. @triplebass @greenolive If youre both keen do you want to set up a group thread?
  13. Maybe message some of the guys further up who initially showed an interest in one
  14. Hi If you can organise someone to buy the second one. Ive had a few people say they want one, then drop out, so i'm not going to chase that. Would prefer to sell both together. If you can get another buyer though, ill do it. And postage to Brussels is fine if you're happy to pay for that Kert
  15. Ill weight it for you later. Regarding the fingerboard, im not sure. Id have to guess, and i dont want to do that. Can anyone help?
  16. Yes. This bass is going onto eBay on the weekend
  17. This bass looks awesome. Very unique too. Very impressive to someone like me who doesnt have a clue!
  18. Not being able to tune by ear anymore after becoming reliant on a tuner. Not the end of the world, but the battery went on my tuner a couple of gigs ago and i realised how utterly useless at it i'd become!
  19. There is the tiniest dink in the lacquer at around the 12th fret. Its bizarrely in the shape of an 8, and about 8mm in length and 3 mm wide. Its so feint, i cant capture it in a photo. Other than that its great. Certainly not loads of dings.
  20. Fender MIJ Jazz, according to serial number made 1984-1987. Pretty sought after period of Jazz basses if you do your research. I took this in a trade. I wanted a jazz bass because i've wanted to like jazz basses. Really wanted to! But i dont. So maybe this is for you? For a 30ish year old bass its in great condition. Ive tried to highlight the marks that are on it by including them in some photos as best as i can. But generally as i said, its in great condition. Plenty of life left in the truss rod. It comes with an old and used hard Gewa case. Still perfectly functional. Also comes with original (i assume) pickguard. And the original pickups. I dont know if they work. I was told they do, but ive never tried them, as the Fender noiseless in them work fine! Youd be welcome to come to my house and try it through mine or your rig. I will post it, but it is at your own risk! Any questions, just ask. I dont know how to put photos in my post. But they are all in this IMGUR folder: https://imgur.com/gallery/mLtAkie
