  1. Sold my travel bass to Andy.  A quick and seamless transaction, prompt payment, good comms, all round a pleasure to deal with.  Thanks Andy and enjoy the bass!

  2. I'm the lucky new owner of Ead's Silver Series Precision, and what a very lovely bass it is too! A complete gent to deal with, kept me up to date with posting arrangements etc and it arrived supremely well packed. A pleasure to do business with. Many thanks Alain!

  3. My funky little travel bass is getting less use these days and looking for a new home. I commissioned this from Paul Rose (ProseBass) in 2011 to have something to noodle with on holidays and trips. It's been a loyal little companion over the years! Easy to throw in the overhead luggage on flights. I mostly used to wrap it in a towel and pack it into my suitcase. Here are the main details:

     

    Scale - 30"
    Overall length tip to toe - 89cm
    Weight - 2,596gm (5.7lbs)
    Body - Spanish cedar (natural oil finish0
    Neck - maple/rosewood
    Pickup - BelCat humbucker
    Controls - Vol/tone
    Bridge - licensed Steinberger type

     

    It's not the finest luthiery when it comes to finesse (it's a little rough round the edges in some places) but it was never intended to be. It was built to be solid and practical, to withstand the rigours of travel and possibly being thrown about a bit.

     

    It's a really handy bass to have around even when not travelling. I always had it somewhere easily to hand for working out songs or for incidental practicing and twiddling at home. A cool little bass.

     

    Comes with a RockBag which is a tight but snug fit. Price includes shipping in the UK.

  4. Thanks. From the shape of the pickguard it looks very like a 70s Telecaster with the pickup moved to the P position. Agree the headstock shape is a little pointier so maybe a custom build rather than a modded 70s Tele.

  5. Can anyone point me in the direction of a drive pedal with an adjustable frequency X-over which allows the lower freqs through unmolested and only applies drive to freqs above the X-over? I'm after a vintage/valve break-up type of sound (not heavy drive or fuzz) to add character and thicken up higher notes while keeping the punch and attack of 'dry' low notes intact. Thanks for any suggestions.
