It sure is Purdy! Pre holiday bump and I got a quote from courier that postage of the flightcased ampeg would wOrk out between 30-40 quid. Not bad so have a think then good people!

This bass has just been sold but... Ian I'd have to check its origins - I notice I didn't list that in the spec but yeah I'm sure they all come from the same place Webby The neck has a jazz profile so its much slimmer than my USA P bass but for my preference the USA is smoother, it's got rolled edges and feels instantly at home for me. I just prefer the dimensions to the VM plus going back to the P4 after the P5 is a wonderful slinky experience!! I believe the amp is a Vox VR? It belongs to one of the other bands that use the room and I rarely look at it. Its a nice amp though - looks the part eh! Sadly the bass has been sold but thank you for the interest. Gavin

Oh and I do have both the original name badges but I've removed them from the cabs. They will be fitted again for the new owner. G

Aguilar cab pictures added below. Some of the little tears to the tolex - all superficial - can be seen and naturally they do not affect tone. I've also shown the size of the cab in relation to an Ampeg 410 and an Ashdown 410. It's smaller then the Ampeg but Im guessing most other 410 cabs are! Any questions just drop me a PM Thanks for reading.

Hey guys and gals. Up for your viewing pleasure is a...... Fully flight cased USA SVT Classic 410 HLN (500w@4ohm) for the princely sum of £400 ovno. Standard rock (and everything else) cab. Its a beast and covers all your bases with ease. Handles a low B with ease and has full adjustable tweeter. There is some peeling to the tolex on the lower left corner (or right depending where you are standing) from where its been in and out of the flight case tray but thats purely cosmetic and could be stuck down with some glue - I might do that this w/e just for fun! Some more action on the covering beside the hadnle on the left side also but again purely cosmetic. Willing to sell the flight case on its own but its gonna have to be pick up only or meet within an hour of Edinburgh (assuming it will fit in my mates boot!) Aguilar DB410 (700w@8ohm) Im really liking this cab and currently it's 8ohm rating isn't a worry as I can really push it with my power amp at 8ohms. I A/b'd the two cabs yesterday and think that the Ampeg has a little more low end whereas the Aguilar has a little more 'clarity?' but you know how subjective these things can be. I recently played through a 215 rig and after hearing ao much about the DB112's as a pair I'd be keen to try out that set up plus its easier to shlep to gigs being smaller than the 410. As ever gimme a pm for more info and pic's of the Aguilar will follow soon as I get them updated on my phone - later today for sure as Im off to do that now! Thanks for reading

Hey Harry Welcome and Im guessing it was you bought the Aggie gear from via the bay. I did a deal recently with Harry via ebay Great guy and good comm's. Might be new here but defo reliable.

I've got to move on some stuff on as the end of the year approaches so up for grabs is my Vintage Modified P bass. The spec is below: Model Name Vintage Modified Precision Bass - Olympic White Body Agathis Neck Maple, C-Shape, Fingerboard Rosewood, 9.5” Radius (241 mm) No. of Frets 20 Medium Jumbo Bridge Standard 4-Saddle Pickguard 3-Ply Black/White/Black Scale Length 34” (864 mm) Width at Nut 1.625” (41.3 mm) The bass plays really nice and is ideally suited to those who favour a Jazz neck profile. Its slim and fast and my band mates prefer the feel of this to my USA P bass (but I love that neck profile Im more P than J myself) I've recently rewired the Squire with new, quality wire, fitted it with CTS pots and I took the p/u from my '08 P bass (which I replaced with a Nordstrand NP4)and whacked that in there too to complete the package. Finally I added a new Sprague 'orange drop' cap to replace the little lentil sized thing that was originally in there. The USA p/u sounds great and is slightly hotter than the NP4 - a great P sound with thump and clarity depending on the tone knob position which now sounds great through the whole range of it taper from bright and upfront to deep and thumpy. I'm asking for £225 which is a great deal but do feel free to make offers close to that. Im not after any trades as I have some stuff incoming that I need to gather cash for. Im happy to split the P+P with the buyer should that be a deal breaker! Ideally this bass would be great as a 'beginner+' bass - cheaper than a MIM and better feeling and sounding- but wouls equally be at home in the arsenal of the regular gigging player due to it's light weight, great tone and playability. I have a 4 string I love to play and a 5 due any day now so I need to sadly let this one go. Get in touch and I'll get pic's up tomorrow. Im happy to answer any other questions via PM. Cheers

Ordered this from Thomann and they had a few months wait so I cancelled the order - Thomann decided to go ahead and charge me and post this anyway. I now have two. I'd send it back but thought it would be easier to move on here. Im after the standard UK price £24.99 is what Im finding. I'll do it for that including postage. PM if interested. Cheers

Been informed its a light poly finish not nitro - same principle applies - a lighter layer for improved resonance.

For sale is an 08 USA P bass I can't really justify having more than one 4 string and my squire (which now has the original p/u from this) is probably adequate for my actual ability and I'm not kidding OK so the blurb - this is a USA 08 P Bass with the updated high mass bridge and nitro finish. I've added a Nordstrand NP4 which gives it a more of the vintage 'hollow grind' vibe which is what I was after in the tone of the bass - the new USA p/u's was a little hot for that sound IMHO but still a great tone. The bass comes with the excellent SKB Fender hard shell which is a great design for keeping the old girl safe. Overall the bass plays realy nice with a neck profile that feels familiar and inviting - satin finished which feels smooth and not sticky in the hand after longer sets. The maple neck has a lovely, aged tint to it and those ever so desirable rolled edges on the finger board give it a played in, comfortable as old slippers vibe. I was instantly at home on this bass and it has a some character, it's a Fender and carries on that tradition of classic, big tone. Im not a maple guy but this neck changed my opinion - it solid, stable and plays like a dream. The bass is available to try in Edinburgh. There are some very slight marks as you would expect from a bass that has been played pretty much daily but nitro finishes are thinner than lacquer which lets the wood resonate more for a far greater tone and sustain but at greater risk of 'war wounds'. The bass is by no means a 'relic' but does have some slight scratches but nothing major - its all pretty superficial. I've captured a dent in the finish in one of the photos and there is nothing else as visible as this. With the Nordstrand p/u upgrade (£100 new) I'll be looking for £770, which I may wiggle very slightly on, via bank transfer (which is saving a few hundred on the new price). I just lost money thanks to paypal and their fee's on a sale a few days ago so reluctant to go down that avenue but do please check my feedback thread as I'm not out to scam.. Oh and the bass has just had a new set of DR High Beams fitted about 5 weeks ago! Shipping will be paid by the buyer and I'm happy to take care of the details via courier on your behalf. If you prefer a black scratch plate I can send it instead as the tort would look nice on my oly white squire Thanks for looking and PM for details
