It's simpler than lugging an 8x10 to a recording session 😁

Crews Maniac Sound DPA-2B in excellent condition complete with original box, instructions (handy if you're Japanese) and power supply. The is an excellent sounding twin channel preamp complete with a switchable effects loop, switchable EQ, Mute and a built in headphone amp.

DSM & Humboldt Simplifier Bass Station in great condition. Excellent for recording and live use straight into the PA. "The Ultimate Bass Platform The new DSM & Humboldt SIMPLIFIER BASS STATION is everything you ever needed to go direct to the FOH or recording amazing bass tones without sacrificing anything. It includes a Bass Preamp with gain, level, and a 3 band EQ with semi-parametric mid control. A parallel signal routing with a selectable LPF, dual FX loop (for preamp and parallel signal), and an amazing analog cabinet simulation, based on the acclaimed Omnicabsim ® by DSM Noisemaker."

It's not high by any means, possibly a trick of the light? The neck is straight and there's room on the saddles to reduce the string hight right down if desired.

A lot of bass for the money.

Here's a pretty comprehensive review of the bass 👇

*Now £160* Laney Nexus N210 cab in fantastic condition. These are loaded with a pair of high quality Sica neo drivers that sound great and ensure its an easy one hand lift. It has a switchable tweeter (high, low, off) and is 300w, 8ohm. It's a very capable standalone cab, looks great and build quality is excellent. *Badge now reattached*

They are single coils. I've had three Atelier Z basses and they all had single coil pickups 👍

Sounds like this 👌

This is a great sounding preamp/DI with a really nice headphone amp built in. It also has a distortion channel, switchable IR cab sims and is fully programmable via the Nux software. It's in great condition and comes with the box and instructions. Here's a link to the manufacturers website for more info https://www.nuxefx.com/melvin-lee-davis.html £85 posted

Pair of Atelier Z Jazz bass pickups, made in Japan. Standard jazz bass dimensions with the slightly longer bridge pickup. £50 posted.

It works really well ergonomically and has the added benefit of sitting up straight on a guitar stand!

I totally agree. These are extremely high quality handmade basses for Mexican Fender money..

Just under 9lbs. The lightweight tuners ensure it balances perfectly, too.

Now £675 Lovely Markbass JP4 up for grabs. This is essentially an active 70's Jazz with a Precision body, hand made to a very high standard in Italy. The finish is exceptionally nice (the photos don't really do it justice) and the blocks and binding are done perfectly. The Markbass preamp is a great addition, as it allows for standard Volume, Volume, Tone control in passive or active modes, as well as a 3 band EQ when in active mode. It sounds great and the slap tone is unreal! It's in fantastic condition and comes with the mint Markbass gigbag and case candy.

The string spacing is fixed at 19mm on this.

I know the feeling 😁

Just to confirm this is essentially a jazz style bass in terms of dimensions but with the guts of a Stingray. Much like Fenders active Flea bass but nicer! And browner!

A what? A Crews Maniac Sound Uncle! AKA a lovely hand-made in Japan Stingray killer. Crews Maniac Sound are a Japanese custom shop (think Atelier Z, Sadowsky Japan (RIP), Moon etc) that make a host of high-end instruments with strange names. This one is a very high quality build in a natural oil finish complete with SD Basslines pickup & preamp, Badass II bridge, lightweight tuners and a stunning Pau Ferro fretboard. As is often the case with oiled finishes, the bass is showing a fair bit of honest play wear. I had intended to get it refinished at some point but now need to move some basses on to pay for boring house stuff... If you like a genuine road-worn look, you're in luck! The bass comes with the original Crews branded flight case, tools, instructions and the never-fitted transparent pickguard and screws.

Thanks chaps. They record pretty nicely too..

My awesome sounding Acinonyx is up for grabs. It's in great condition, very light at 3kg and plays beautifully with the Slinky flatwound strings fitted. The neck and dark rosewood fretboard are exceptionally nice.. Some manufacturers blurb for the uninitiated - A short scale, plus the added fun of the tone control switches. Tone choices are available with a push of a button. Go “All In” by punching all of the buttons at once, which isputs the pickups in series mode resulting in a a loud, thick, and punchy tone. The 1 over 3 headstock may seem unusual, but it provides straight string pull while honouring the original aesthetic of the Goya Panther. •780mm scale (about 30.7”) •17mm spacing at bridge •1.4” wide nut •Alder body with Indian Rosewood fingerboard •Parchment and Tortoise pick guard options •2 propriety (of course - it’s what we do) single coil chrome cover pickups •4 push button pickup selector switches (including “all in” series mode) •4 tone selections including flat, traditional tone roll off, heavy tone roll of, and mid notch •Very light weight - averaging 6.5 pounds •2 way spoke wheel truss rod •Classic color options: Lake Placid Blue, Olympic White, Surf Green, Black, Dakota Red •Compound radius for excellent playability •Proprietary custom US Hipshot bridge •Proprietary custom licensed Hipshot oval tuning machines •All basses are inspected and set up in our Redlands, CA shop •Weight: 3kg/7lb History: Inspired by Juan Alderete, reimagined by Carey Nordstrand, the Acinonyx (genus for Cheetah) is a well thought out, modern reinterpretation of the Goya Panther. Carey sorted out the design flaws of the Goya with the problem solving prowess for which he is known. String pull, switch assignments sorted out, Carey developed this bass with ease of tone selection and overall playability in mind, but the ultimate goal is for the bass to be as fun to play as driving a race car.
