  1. Thanks mate 👍 Just to confirm, this isn't one of the RSD Metro Express basses! This is a pre-warwick made in Japan bass..
  2. Well, I've read that three times and am none the wiser 😁
  3. Thanks, has a great smooth feel to it too. I may trade for a guitar if anyone has one gathering dust?
  4. Correction, it's not a flamed maple top and back, it's a solid flamed Alder body! OP updated.
  5. Vigier Excess in the trans black with beautiful solid flamed Alder body. Maple neck with carbon rod (90% maple, 10% carbon) means no truss rod is required and it's solid as a rock. It's easy to get a very low action if desired (currently set up pretty low), and the neck is an absolute joy to play. The 18v Vigier preamp has bass and treble cut/boost and is a great match for the single coil hum cancelling pickups. Modern articulate tones are easily achievable but boost the bass and cut the treble and it's an absolute beast. These are often described as an updated Rickenbacker tone-wise and I can see why. It has been gigged and has the odd small ding but is in great condition overall. Comes with the Vigier/Hiscox case and user manual, tools etc
  6. Bass Monkey P Bass made by @Walshy. This is a very lightweight (3.75kg), resonant, high quality Precision made with some excellent parts. The neck is an old Fender Allparts "B" width neck made of quarter-sawn maple with a lovely ebony fretboard. It has a bone nut and Gotoh Resolite reverse tuners. The body is lightweight swamp ash and is fitted with a Badass II bridge, Kent Armstrong vintage pickups, CTS pots and Switchcraft jack. The nitro Lake Placid Blue finish was done by Dave Wilson to a high standard, very special indeed. It's in excellent condition, but being nitro it does have some light swirls here and there as it's been played. It'll age and wear very well over time no doubt. The bass sounds great, really punchy and full sounding. It's very loud acoustically too which is always a good thing in my book. I'm attempting to stick to one bass at the moment (stop laughing at the back!), hence the sale. Collection from Margate or I can package it up if you'd like to arrange a courier to collect. It comes with the flight case pictured.
  7. As-new Markbass STU amp complete with rack ears, manual and original packaging. SOLID STATE AND TUBE PREAMPS The two MB STU AMP 1000 preamps with separate controls for the solid state and tube, offer a wide range of tone from clean to crunchy overdrive and distortion and everything in between. You can rock your sound from old-school to hard rock or make your own alternative rock tone! 7-BAND GRAPHIC EQ The seven-band graphic EQ is very useful and easy to use to modify your instrument tone. The seven frequencies were chosen to give you total control of your bass tone, even on 5 and 6-string basses. Each band can be boosted or cut over a +/-16dB range. 1000W HIGH-POWER / MPT - MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY This high-power head gets amplified by a poweful 1000W MPT power amp, boasting massive supply of power and serious headroom. About all the bass amps on the market use the same power amp from different manufacturers, which are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested a lot on R&D to create a proprietary power amp technology, specifically designed to respect and glorify the tone of your instrument. £485 collected from Margate or feel free to organise your own courier.
  8. Here's said video. I'm sure that guy could get a decent sound out of an old broom but, even so.. Sounds great.
  9. It's essentially the same bass. The one Scott reviewed has a Spruce body (this one is Alder) and a "battered" finish.
  10. It's a very tactile satin finish. Reminds me of my MacBook Air..
  11. We agreed not to mention that again 😁 The cab is now sold, mate.
