  1. I have a GCB-95 Model Cry Baby Wah for sale. Perfect working order in excellent hardly used condition still with the original box. These retail at around £55 but I'll let this one go for £40 inc postage to mainland UK. Bit of a bargain for all you Wakka Chakka's out there!!
  2. Price drop to.......£875.......an absolute bargain for a unique beautifully built instrument. I'll even bung a new set of strings on it.
  3. Thanks for the kind comments guys... Bumpy Bump
  4. Thanks Guys. Sounds as good as it looks too...
  5. So I have finally decided to sell my custom built Bass as I've moved back to the dark side..(Guitar) for good and I would like to put the money towards a new Guitar amp I have my eye on. The story behind the Bass. A few years ago I decided the only way I'd ever get a Bass I really wanted was to have it built. The Basses that I most lusted after were Celinder and Fodera. Love the Celinder shape and Fodera's use of exotic woods.....but how to combine the two? After some initial talks with the Forum's own 'Chopthebass' (Ian, very nice guy now in Canada) and looking at some of his other creations (several Sei inspired headless beauties) he was duely commisioned. I still have all the build pics for anyone interested. The design. Body shape is the Celinders' take on Fenders' Jazz. Fully scuplted forearm and gutaway with a Sei inspired relieved neck joint for better access up the dusty end. The neck dimensions were taken from my Ibanez SR1000 prestige. The headstock is angled back a few degrees to obviate string tree's. Timbers. Body. Mahogany core, Burr Maple front and Flame Maple back with Black Ash veneers to highlight the join. The control cavity is cut from the same Flame Maple and matches beautifully. Neck. Three pieces of Maple, two outers are Flame and the centre is Hard Rock. The facing on the headstock matches the body with the trussrod cover matching perfectly. Trussrod is two way. Fingerboard is Macasser Ebony with side dots only. Hardware. Pickups are EMG PJ set Active powered by an Aguilar pre amp. The control cavity is copper lined. Hipshot Bridge and Machine heads (ultralites). Marvel locking straplocks. Complete with hardcase. The attention to detail and build quality of this instrument is second to none and if I hadn't rediscovered my love for the guitar coupled with the desire for a new amp I wouldn't be selling it. My loss is your gain. You can probably guess that the best quality timbers, hardware and build doesn't come cheap but its also not unreasonably expensive (although I appreciate these things are subjective). So I'm asking a very reasonable £875. If you'd like to try before commiting to buy thats fine as I'm confident that anyone seriously interested will have it. Ah yes......some pics? Go on then...
  6. Sold, pending the usual. Thanks Doug (and Mark).
  7. Cheers Bud Yes if you can find a Bad Cat I'd recommend trying one out. Expensive but hand wired point to point all valve and built like the proverbial battle ship don't come cheap. If I had to some up the Bad Cat in one word it would be dynamic. I've been playing guitar and Bass for 35 years odd and I've never played or heard an amp that responds to touch so much. Its a keeper.
  8. That would be a very long way from Dorset m8. Norfolk.
  9. LOL, certainly my friend no problem. For home recording, band practice or the small intimate pub/club gig it would seem to be the ideal amp. The clean channel is....well very clean. Lots of headroom and despite just a tone and volume its quite versatile. The drive channel I'd say is where this amp really shines. It has a very good valve driven sound indeed. I was quite taken abback. I wasn't expecting such a big sound for such a small amp and the isf control gives a nice sweep between American and British drive sounds with all points in between (kind of Boogie to Marshall). It has a nicely voiced digital reverb as well. Channels are footswitchable. Not much more to say really. If I didn't have my newly aquired Bad Cat Classic Cat I'd be keeping this amp but 'she who must be obeyed' has decreed that one amp is quite sufficient for any man............I know I know but there's still a few bits and bobs that I'd like so...........I'm being.....er.......accomodating Hope this helps.
  10. As new Blackstar HT20 combo. These are great all valve combo's with digital reverb and footswitchable channel changing. 12" Celestion speaker. I took this combo as part exchange on my Fender amp but I already have a Bad Cat Classic so this is surplus to requirements. These cost around £450 new, I'm looking for £300 (firm) and its worth every penny. So save yourself £150 on the price of a new one! The pics don't do the amp justice, its hardly been played and still has the tags on. Here's a link to Blackstars' webby.... [url="http://www.blackstaramps.co.uk/products/ht-amps/ht-20.html"]http://www.blackstaramps.co.uk/products/ht-amps/ht-20.html[/url] You're more than welcome to come over and give it a try with no obligation and might even put the kettle on.....
  11. Special Easter price reduction. Just £500 will buy this excellent immaculate amp!
  12. Just for you Moos3h Not a great pic but you get the idea. Its a Custom Shop Custom Deluxe......I love it!
  13. This is an immaculate Pro Tube Pro Reverb combo thats had very little use which is why I'm selling it. This amp is way too good to be sitting around. These amps weren't made for very long but are amazingly spec'd as follows.... Two channels, reverb, tremolo, effects loop, all valve (pre, power, reverb and tremelo), 50 watt-1/4 power switch to 12.5 watt, 1 x 12 Jensen C12N, tilt back legs, 4 way footswitch, genuine fender cover, uk model. Incredible clean Fender tone on channel 1 with drive from crunch to mayhem on channel 2. At 50 watts this amp is very loud and even at 12.5 watts its loud enough to aggravate the missus.....although that could just be my playing . So if you're looking for the classic Fender tone/reverb/tremolo look no further. When new they were around £1100 (mid nineties) and they're pretty rare over here (The Pro Tube series are built in Corona, USA). NOW £500!!. I'd prefer cash on collection. Anyone wanting to try before they buy are most welcome.....might even put the kettle on. So come to sunny Norfolk and grab a bargain.....you know you want to. Now sold.
  14. Hello m8 I'm in Kings Lynn, Norfolk.
  15. For sale is my mates G&L ASAT special in transparent blue burst. Immaculate ungigged condition complete with a USA spec gigbag (they cost around £100 on their own). Great meaty Tele tones from the G&L style P90's. Really nice satin finish neck with negligable fret wear. He wants £250 which is a real bargin for this guitar as they are over £400 without a gigbag.
  16. Frightfully sorry old chap.......been away for a few days. ITS SOLD!!!!!!!
