Yamaha JX40 £45.00
Stompbox replied to essexbasscat's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
I've got one of these - it's very good - clear sound, three slightly variable voicings on it, decent output too...... Have a bump on me. -
Well I give up - I've been waiting for over a year now & there were only a few names in front of me - I've ordered & paid for a copy of the book - that will probably guarantee it appears now !!!! LOL. Take me off the list thanks, Regards, Stompbox.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I've tried the "Open in New Tab" - that does it - and yes, I get the "Googleads" thing if i hover over the back button - not going to reformat my PC though to sort it - LOL. Cheers, Stompbox

Good evening, Since the site has changed, I constantly have a problem getting back out of say looking at a particular item for sale to the general "for sale" listings. I used to use one click of the mouse on the "back" arrow - but now it takes tow or three (or more) and then you go back two or three pages or to the "Hom" section. I'm probably doing it incorrectly - but how ARE you supposed to navigate around please?

Did a magazine swap with Neil - he kept in touch/good communications. He's a top bloke, Geoff

Following my "Outrageous Magazine Prices" post in the general discussion zone of this site here are two sets of three magazines on offer. First is two Guitarist July 2011 & Feb 2011& one Guitar & Bass July 2010. Next is Guitar & Bass for April, June & July 2011. They may be out of date but the interviews & equipment reviews are still all relevant & readable. How about I post a set of three mags to you & you send me three mags - bass, acoustic, classic cars - whatever. Will only cost a pound or two postage & we each may get some interesting reads from stuff we wouldn't normally have bought. Cheers, Stompbox. -

Well I could develop this into a rant, but I'll try to keep calm! I thought I would treat myself to a Guitar or Bass magazine the other day and went for a mooch on the magazine racks - I picked up one that was a "Special Issue" from one of the big publishers and related specially to Gibson guitars....... "Hey - this looks good" I thought. Took it to the counter "Seven Pounds 99p please" said the guy on the till. Er - well NO...... EIGHT QUID - I Think not. So it's interesting to see the iBass magazine concept. The thing is, I still like to have a physical magazine to hold & flip the pages on though, but hey at £5 and £4 for most mags then it's a toss up between a magazine or strings/batteries/plecs etc. How about us developing a "MagSwap" on this site? For starters I've got a load of old(er) Guuitarist, Guitar Buyer and Guitar & Bass mags I can put up for swaps. The deal could be "I'll send you mine if you'll send me yours".... - yes I know, it's not for this section of the site, but I might put some on the Recycle Your Stuff section & see if there is any interest. The thing I find especially annoying is the price of "Blokes" magazines - be it Guitar, Motorcycles, Model Making, Fishing etc. compared with the price of (many) magazines for women. Is it more expensive to publish mags for us guys, or is it simply that women are more sensible & won't pay the crazy prices? Grr....

[attachment=98678:Aria (3).JPG][attachment=98678:Aria (3).JPG]Here is my top Aria FA-70 full depth hollowbody archtop, based on the superb Gibson L5/L7 guitars - it is one of the Aria “Pro 2” series. It's in great condition with no bad dings or knocks.They originally sold for just under £500 - I'm looking for £245. It was made by the Samick factory in Korea in 2001 (they make instruments for Gretsch, Epiphone, & Aria as well as their own brand). It's a fully hollow bodied, full depth guitar with a spruce top, maple back & sides and a floating rosewood bridge. It has good quality gold tailpiece & gold Gotoh machine heads, vintage cream binding on the front & rear of the body, headstock, neck & "F" holes. This is a link to Aria – the current model the FA-71, (which is only a single pickup model) but construction details are, I believe, the same. [url="http://www.ariausa.com/guitars/fa71.html"]http://www.ariausa.c...itars/fa71.html[/url] The previous owner had the (usually lower quality) Korean humbuckers replaced with""vintage friendly" P90s which he said were from GFS. He advised that the job was done professionally in Denmark St, London and uses custom pickup surrounds. The guitar sounds really great, but I really need to free up some cash, so it has to go. I’ll pack it carefully in a cardboard guitar box from the local music shop & send by 48 hour courier for £12, unless you want to come over to Morecambe to try it & buy it. (Transit insurance would be extra). I could deliver within a reasonable distance by arrangement, and I do go over to Oldham & Manchester every couple of weeks.

New Year Bump

Post Christmas bump...

Good evening - I've an NS WAV4 upright electric that I'm now learing to play with a bow (although I mainly play pizzicato) - but when I've finished playing there is a lot of the white powdered rosin left on the strings. What's the best thing to clean it off please? Meths? White spirit? Water & a bit of washing up liquid? I'm concerned that if I use the wrong thing it will a) Not clean it off properly & It may make the core of the strings rot/rust - I'm using the NS steel tape flatwounds that were supplied. Whilst I'm asking - would there be a "Better" string type to use? (The WAV4 uses a piezo electric pickup so there is no need for magnetic considerations for the strings.) Thanks for any help you can give, Geoff

Yamaha BB615 Raspberry Red Active 5-String - SOLD
Stompbox replied to meatbingo's topic in Basses For Sale
Hi - I see you say no trades, but I Pm'd you anyway. See what you think. -
Here is my great Yamaha RBX374 bass guitar with active electronics. I'm looking for £150, plus postage, or may trade against a bass amp. head, or an Epiphone Dot or "Jazz" style semi acoustic guitar. It’s finished in gloss black, with a satin finish in black on the back of the neck & headstock. The fittings are all in “Black Chrome” which looks really great- It also comes with a basic black canvas gig bag. The bass has active tone controls, so there is an overall volume, a treble cut/boost, a bass cut/boost, and a mix control so you can go from one pickup to another or have a mix of different proportions of both pickups. The fingerboard is rosewood and it has a 34” scale length. The bass balances really well when you’re playing it as the long upper horn keeps it from being neck heavy when you use a shoulder strap. The pickups are humbuckers, so there is no buzzing or humming even when you are on top of an amplifier with its volume right up – really good on stage! The active electronics mean that you also get a very even string balance across all the strings – with a passive bass, you tend to get a very loud low E string, getting quieter as you go up to the G. Here’s a link to the Yamaha site:- [url="http://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/rbx/rbx374/?mode=model"]http://usa.yamaha.co...374/?mode=model[/url] - and here’s one for Chappells music – a good large picture on this as if you click on it, as well as a typical price new. [url="http://www.chappellofbondstreet.co.uk/P~YAM-RBX374-BLK~Yamaha-RBX374-4-String-Electric-Bass-Guitar-in-Black?attributes"]http://www.chappello...lack?attributes[/url]= It’s in great condition with only a few marks on it from being played – there is a tiny mark on the front - less than the size of a match head - it’s hard to see but I’ve tried to show it in the photo of the lower front of the body. I’m in Morecambe so if you're local & want to come over to try it please let me know so that can arrange for you to call. I'm happy to pack the bass & send it off - or you could call, pay cash & save the postage charges which are getting more and more expensive, or I will come out to meet you within a reasonable distance.
