Keith's brother Mike drove all the way from Norfolk to Hertford to buy my alto sax. A quick, friendly transaction and I hope both Mike and Keith enjoy playing the sax.

Believe the hype. The ABM600 Evo IV is my favourite ever ABM. However, I haven't tried the latest UK built Evo V which I'm sure will be just as good, maybe better.

SOLD - Excellent condition 13 hole P bass tortoiseshell, mint, black, mint pickguard imported from Stewmac USA. https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware/all-hardware-and-parts-by-instrument/electric-bass-parts/electric-bass-pickguards/p-bass-pickguard/ Also includes free of charge thumb rest with screws and black P and bridge J pickup covers. The mint is intended to achieve an aged vintage colour and I have photographed a section next to brilliant white paper to demonstrate.

SOLD - Excellent condition Fender 70s design machinehead. This is a genuine Fender new part, not from the 1970s. I bought this to replace the E string detuner on my Reggie Hamilton jazz bass but have now put the detuner back on so this is redundant. This was supplied by Fender without the bush or screws. Price is £28 including UK postage or £25 collected from Hertford. Thanks for looking.

Class AB heads that use switched-mode power supplies can be small and light too. The Markbass LM2 is an example which although a couple of pounds heavier than the class D LM3 is definitely not old school heavy.

I've lost count of the bass necks I've broken...

SOLD - Silver alto saxophone with Selmer mouthpiece, Rico reeds, cork grease and straps and case. I've had this for at least 30 years and it's never been played. I'm not a sax player so cannot attest to its playability but hopefully it can be used again. One teenie tiny ding on the bell circled on final photo. I can provide more photos on request. Price is £85 by bank transfer/cash on collection from or local delivery/meet near to Hertford. Thanks for looking.

1970’s Fender Mustang Bass. Best strings for through body?
Sparky Mark replied to MungoBass's topic in Bass Guitars
TI are the only flats I've ever really enjoyed playing. I think it's because of the lower tension. -
I'm assuming that fan noise is a major issue when playing at lowish volumes? In that scenario massive power isn't a requirement so I'd recommend fanless Trace Elliot AH200 and SMX250 heads. Used with sufficient speakers (2×210, 2x12, 410, 2x15 for instance) they are perfectly giggable too as the output ratings seem to be quite conservative.

1970’s Fender Mustang Bass. Best strings for through body?
Sparky Mark replied to MungoBass's topic in Bass Guitars
Fender® 5250XL Nickel Plated Steel Roundwound, Short Scale, (.040-.095 Gauges), PN 0735250402 These are what Fender USA fit to the current through body Performer Mustang basses. I've got one and these strings feel perfect and sound good to me. -

Sold - Excellent condition Ampeg Micro VR head with matching SVT210AV cabinet, Ampeg padded covers, speaker/mains cables, owner's manuals and original packaging. Don't be fooled by the small size of this class AB power section head as it can output 259 watts into a 4 ohm load or 160 watts into the matching 8 ohm SVT210AV cabinet. All working as it should. Price is £450 the lot. Payment by cash/bank transfer collected or meet up close-ish to Hertford. Thanks for looking.

It's a pity no one came onboard and learnt the skills to continue the marque. Maybe the demand just isn't there any longer?

SOLD - Excellent condition Blackstar Fly 3 Bass mini combo. Not for gigging but for practicing. Comes with original box and instructions. It's black and grey as shown in the final photo; somehow my phone camera thinks it's blue-grey. £35 inclusive of UK shipping or £30 collected from Hertford. Thanks for looking.
