Head provisionally sold. One cab provisionally sold. Thank you to everyone who has been in touch. Gavin

Tru dat!

Okay First Mike Dirnt P bass with two custom made pick guards in black and tort (original white included). This has had extensive work to the neck (£100+) and plays like a custom shop bass. Fender Custom Shop '59 pick u which is one of the better P bass pick up's I've heard in a long time. Bass is black with r/w neck and bad ass bridge. £450 Second is Matt Freeman with upgrades. Seymour 1/4lb'er and a badass bridge fitted along with wiring upgrade kit. ******* Same body wood as USA precisions********** I've learned otherwise the body wood is basswood and apologies fro the misinformation. Build quality is high - Black w/ black pick guard and all maple neck.£400 The MF is light and spritely in tone. The wiring kit really adds versatility and the bass can do modern and vintage. Nice tone with flat wounds which nicely compensate for the mid scoop the 1/4lb'ers are famed for. High output bass and worth every penny! The Dirnt is heavier than the MF and overall more vintage in character, a darker sounding bass. This is likely in part to the basswood body and rosewood neck. Much more pronounced in mids and I can't say enough about the pick up which really is fantastic. It's a shame Fender don't make this available in more basses/to the general public. I like this with round wounds as the tone rolled back to abt 30% -40% gets nice and dark and again classic P tone. The bad ass bridge adds a little brightness but thats easily tamed with the tone control. Sale only on each bass. Needs must unfortunately. They are both available to demo in Edinburgh. Thanks

Head and cab now sold. Thanks for all the interest.

Hmmmmm all black and maple bump!

Bump for the 'Roger Waters on a budget' bass but with a nicer neck and outstanding bridge Sounds really nice with flat wound strings as I discovered this morning

The bass has since had a Dimarzio Will Power fitted with all black pick up covers but this will give you an idea

Bought this recently for a P/J project but a change in circumstances means I've got to shift a few bits and pieces. This is the VTC kit which includes: all you can see in the bottom right picture in the attached link. http://www.sadowsky.com/pop/vintage_tone/vintage_tone.html Video demo courtesy of BCC - Jump yo about 2:15 for audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGmhcfWiIGA This passive tone control works in both active and passive modes and really helps take some of the top end off your tone allowing you keep the active punch but with a more vintage vibe. It's a very useful control which I first discovered in GuitarGuitar while noodling on a Sadowsky and loving the added level of control it afforded. I was gonna combine with an Aguilar OBP-1 but needs must. The bass is up for sale in another thread. So to recap this is for the VTC kit a concentric bass/treble boost only pot (25k) for use within an active circuit and a passive tone control with pull /push active circuit on/off switch built in. It also contains the relevant caps and the original wiring diagram. A firm £65 posted thanks.

I've just been playing a bass which has had this kit installed. The tone knob is usable across its range and you can really dial it in to the sound you want. It's tamed the hell out of a Seymour 1/4lb'er to a point where its has enough punch without that clacky top end i.e. it sounds like a bass not a collander falling down some steps- Yes a generation of punk bassists I mean you!

Bump-ed

Bump for an incredibly rare pre - these are the proverbial hens teeth. They WILL complete your studio rig, live rig etc etc.

I posted on Beedsters original thread. This is my old pre and its superb! I put the Mullards in it and if you Pm me about swapping for the ones I currently use I gladly sawp you for them Owen ! This is a killer pre and indeed the same front end as in the DB750. Its got a Jensen Di out as used by Radial in their JDI (and reatils for abt £180!!) and a really clever series /parellel effects loop accessible from the front panel. The tone stack while not givng any extremes is just tasteful and useable across its full range. I describe it as you might not like a particular tone this thing makes but that doesn't make it a bad tone! Its still gonna have that valve warmth to it. FYI i dont think there are any 'bad' tones in this thing. I moved it on to downsize but went back to using a valve pre & power amp. Hard to beat that warmth!
