2007 iMac 300 GB 3GB SD ram OSX El Capitan Comes with Logic Studio and upgrade discs boxed. Sold it once, thought I needed it but didn’t. Reinstalled OS all working fine. Collection from Bath. £30

Ibanez jazz box. I got this with no pickup or electrics. So installed a nice bucker and solderless harness. Only thing was the wiring didn’t stretch to the hole for tone pot, so I made a new hole and fitted a switch in the old hole. It looks better than a hole or tape across the hole. The switch isn’t connected to the pickups or the controls. *But when switched to the right it unleashes Wes Montgomery style thumb playing, and to the left you will be able to play solos like Joe Pass.* I just haven’t gotten round to using it. It’s got new semi flatwounds on and it sounds and plays great with good tonal range, including proper nice rolled off jazz tone. Comes with basic gig bag. £90 I can access some packing now, so add £15 for a very playable guitar for little money that does the jazz tone and more very nicely. It’s just sitting here not being used. Collect from Bath or do a hand over within reasonable pre agreed distance. *The switch works, but only if you are actually Wes Montgomery or Joe Pass*

Superb basses. Massive regret over selling my MIJ B3 (twice). GLWTS

When’s it ever stopped us Stew!

Yeah they are. I probably should hold on to it. But it needs to be seen slung round some cool bassists shoulder.

Pretty rare old beast this. Bought recently elsewhere as I love the look of the DanElectro Lonhorns but can’t get on with short scale. This baby has lived a life and it came to me with plenty of dings and scratches, but nothing terrible, but don’t expect immaculate. The electrics were scratchy and itchy with intermittent cutting out. However, that’s all sorted now. The pickup is a Dimarzio with switching from big P to huge P (series/parallel?) and the tone control has a wide range. It’s got new set of D’Addario nickel 45-105’s and is set up nicely now with a low action and bob on intonation. The colour looks brown, but it’s a kind of purple brown sparkle which is very subtle. Happy to put up some sound clips. Weighs about 9lbs It was a purchase based on “that looks cool” before trying (I know, shallow right?) plus I do like a Dimarzio P. Well it didn’t disappoint on either of those criteria and I’ve recorded with it and gigged this Saturday gone. Roger Glover use to use one….heres a link to an old article where he praises the bass: https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/the-bass-behind-rainbow/12028 And that’s where I’ve come unstuck. The same reason that I’ve bought and sold Spectors, I love the tone and playability but I can’t get over the top horn placement. It needs to be over the 12th fret for me, like boring old Fs. Its balance is fairly horizontal as opposed to headstock pointing to floor. But even with my extra wide and grippy strap it won’t stay where I want and the headstock seems far away. I have rotator cuff problems with both shoulders, but particularly my left one, so it’s uncomfortable and not helping my physio recovery. I’m disappointed, but it’s back to my Fs for me. At some point someone has attempted to reposition the strap pins. Once to the rear of the upper horn and one about 2 inches above the rear pin, presumably to try re balancing? So if you want something that will destroy brick walls and gets lots of “oooh that’s an interesting bass” and “is it a harp”, or “man alive you’re a SMF playing that baby” then this is for you. Had a lot of queries about condition and dings etc. So have uploaded more pictures circling. I cleaned the neck when I got it and it’s in lovely condition (see pics). It’s an old bass that’s seen action. But plays great all the way up the 24 frets. Pick up from my gaff in Bath or meet up within reasonable agreed distance. Can post but will now need to source a box and packaging material. £20 pp.

I’d imagine 2 volume, 1 tone. When both pups are on (toggle in the middle position) you can control the volume of each pup?

I was visiting in-laws near St Ives this weekend doh!
