    I really like the addition of middle solo, and bridge and middle in parallel, so it was a good swap for me.

    I have swapped to a white scratchplate though.

    I have one of the limited edition JT4 basses and also a JT5 which I added the six way rotary to. It’s made a fantastic sounding bass even better. I actually run my basses passive a lot of the time, but the Neve preamp really is very good when you kick it in. My 5 is pretty light, balances very well and sustains for days too. It’s become my main bass for gigging. My JT5 My JT4 (18 of only 82 worldwide) Pickup settings for the six way. It really expands the range of sounds. Last Friday’s setup with my beloved Franz bass and the quite incredible GR Bass rig.

    Welcome! I've lived in the locality most of my life, and went to college in Guildford many years ago. I used to avoid Andertons as I found them condescending and unhelpful, but they are now absolutely top notch for service. I wouldn't hesitate to shop there.

    I've had these a while, using them in various amps with valve preamp stages, but my move away from such amps means they are now surplus: Mullard ECC83 - code B6B3 means made in Blackburn, third week of February in either 1956, 1966 or 1976 = £50 Mullard ECC83 - (code backward3)91 means made in Chelmsford for Mullard by Marconi, but not sure how to date the rest = £50 Mullard ECC81 - no code that I can see = £25 Caveat Emptor: I have tested them in my Demeter amp and they are all working fine at time of writing, but as always with old valves be aware they can fail at any time. Please do bear that in mind before you buy.

    Amazing cabs. The perfect balance between power, punch and portability.
  11. franzbassist
    Straight swap for my Franz Dave?

    Just the PSU left now. No box but I will include a mains plug USB adaptor plus a short micro USB cable to charge the PSU with. Here we have a used but not abused Rockboard Tres 3.0 pedalboard setup that, with the addition of the power supply and patchbay, means you are set up and ready to go. No need for mains power to the board, you just charge the power supply before the gig and you can enjoy hum-free pedals all night! I've never had any issues with this setup. The battery can do a two set gig with no issue. New, all of this would have been £200, so I think £125 posted is fair. Thanks for looking EDIT: Forgot to add proof of ownership to the pictures, but hopefully pages and pages of feedback (see link in signature) will confirm I am a legit seller!

    Oh my, Stealthy Status. A lovely example Dave.

    I think I posted the very same clip a while back with the very same reaction. It really is very good.
  15. franzbassist
    And sold
  16. franzbassist
    I will entertain sensible offers.
  17. franzbassist
    This will shortly be going up as a commission sale, so if you are interested please do get in touch with me soon.

    Okay, so yes, a new nut may well be in order. You could wrap fine gauge sandpaper around each string and then run them up and down the nut slots to file open the existing nut (put a little pen mark right at the bottom of each slot so you don't take it lower!), but I appreciate you may not be comfortable with that!
  19. franzbassist
    Are you going to a much heavier gauge? You may not need to make any changes if it's just the next gauge up. As @bassbiscuits says, you may need to adjust the intonation and relief, but you may not! Also, I've never had to drill out a strap lock hole to allow for a bigger screw (and I have fitted Dunlop locks to loads of basses); I just put a little bit of wax on the new screw and they always go in easily enough. As to cost, these are the kind of tweaks I've made on my basses for years, so I'm afraid I have no idea. Sorry

    A smooth as usual sale to Martin. Great comms, instant payment, you know the drill

    I have one of these and they are rock solid reliable. This is a very good price for a simple yet effective piece of kit.
  22. franzbassist
    Thanks Mick. Yes, it's an odd one. I can only put it down to the brand being so small and "boutique".

    1210UL sold

    Just chipping in to say this is a great cab. A real one cab does it all solution for small and medium sized venues. And Freddie is a most excellent person to deal with too

    I did a very similar gig. Rain was so heavy it was pooling in the canopy right over the PA mixer and amps 🥶
