  1. Now reduced to £80 posted to mainland UK.
  2. For sale, an Electro-Harmonix Mini Q-Tron envelope filter, in very good condition and complete with the original wooden box it came in. For anyone who isn't familiar with these, they offer up an interesting array of funk sounds, very 1970s, including a kind of auto-wah if you set it up right. Bootsy Collins used the effect, I think with a MuTron rather than Electro Harmonix though. EH don't make these anymore and having tried the Micro Q-Tron, I think this is a better sound...but then I would say that, wouldn't I? Price includes courier to mainland UK, anywhere else I'm happy to discuss cost. Pedal will be well packed in original box and securely wrapped.
  3. I bought this last year, for a bit of project fun (I had an All Parts neck I was going to use, now sold) but time and work have been against me and now I need the space. These currently go for around £120 on Amazon at present. I've thrown in a couple of "Seymour Designed" PUs from my trusty old Squier VM Jazz (which is now sporting a mongrel mix of SD Quarterpounder (neck) and a Tonerider (bridge) which actually works really well) as I'm guessing the ones in the box are likely to be pretty average. I think the body is alder, it's certainly a decent weight, so I don't think it's basswood or poplar. The kit contains: 1 x fully routed Jazz body, the neck pocket will need a bit of fettling 1 x maple neck with some kind of darkwood board (it isn't rosewood) cleanly fretted and a working truss-rod but oddly trimmed on headstock 1 x neck plate + 4 x screws 1 x BBOT bridge 4 x tuners with bushes etc. 1 x Jazz control plate with Precision/Telecaster knobs 1 x white-black-white scratch plate 2 x kit pick ups 2 x SD designed Squier pick-ups 2 x strap posts 1 x bag of screws for all parts 1 x Ernie Ball strap in a fetching burgundy Price includes courier cost within mainland UK. It'll be bubble wrapped and inside the original sturdy delivery box. Anywhere else, I'm happy to have a chat about costs. Something to do if we get locked down again I guess!
  4. Stunning bit of kit Andy. I lusted after one these in the '70s, when a girlfriend of mine had an album by Taste of Honey with one of the ladies holding a black jazz with rosewood/blocks very similar to this one. Good luck with the sale and life in general.
  5. Bought some very nice Toneriders for my Mexican Jazz from Andy in January but been working away hence late feedback...sorry Andy 🙂 Great transaction and a thoroughly patient bloke, as I was nipping back and forth to Italy and France.
  6. Great basses these, I've got a 1994 4H and it's by far the best all-rounder I've ever owned, especially now I'm getting older and the back isn't what it was! This is a very good price for a 4HH. Good luck with the sale.
  7. Lovely bass. Mocha and Antigua grey burst with maple are my favourite Fender finishes from this era for Strats and P-basses. I'm thinning out my own collection but if this is still here when I've got some funds I'd definitely be interested, although I doubt it will be at that price and in that condition.
  8. This is mine. The white bear doesn't play.
  9. I have one in black, with black blocks and binding I bought on here years ago. I stuck a pair of SD quarter-pounders on it to start with but wasn't getting enough bite from the bridge, so swapped that out for a Tone-rider which gave me what I wanted, the output from the SD in the neck position and the Tone-rider is pretty balanced. I also swapped out the original BBOT bridge and tuners for some Wilko parts (the Wilko tuners are surprisingly good) in black and stuck a KioGon volume-blend-tone loom on it. I love it. Popped it into Hobgoblin in Southampton for a set up last autumn and they liked it a lot. Great value for money, hang on to it!
  10. Of course, must be tough to sell such a versatile bass. It's certainly a good price for what looks like a mint piece of kit.
  11. I have one of these, a 1998 model bought on this site actually, the best all rounder bass I've ever owned, does everything well. It would be the last bass I'd sell. GLWTS.
  12. A golden era for Ibanez basses in my opinion; great design, excellent build quality and essentially bulletproof. I have a 1982 Roadster RS900 which I use for practice/rehearsals mainly and the neck is straight as a dye and not even the smallest crackle from the controls. GLWTS.
  13. Just brought a Yamaha CO-10MII compressor pedal from Graeme. Package arrived safely yesterday, splendidly packaged and complete with it's original box and instructions. Top bloke to do business with and impressively patient with the (by now traditional with me) issue with the Paypal payment.
  14. Stunning bass. Looking at the controls reminded me of an old joke. Studio tech walks into a band rehearsal and says to the bass player: "Nice bass mate but what do all these knobs do?" The bass player pauses for a moment in deep thought.... "Well, one of them plays rhythm guitar, one of them plays drums and the two really big ones are the singer and the lead guitarist....." GLWTS
  15. Afternoon. Is the Big Muff still for sale?
  16. Just bought a Wilkinson bridge from Nick. Few problems on my side with comms and paypal payments as working away but Nick's patience does him credit. Bridge was well packaged and received safely. All good, you can deal with Nick with confidence.
  17. Stunning. Best finish Fender ever did in, my humble opinion. Works so well with the maple, blocks and binding too. If I win the lottery tonight I'm having it! But otherwise, good luck with the sale.
