    Gibson 359 for sale

    :) me too mate.

    Ok as promised a few piccies. You'll have to forgive the overly bright image it the flash on the camera. The actual colour is pretty much identical the the first example image from 'Guitar Village'.

    I would consider a trade with a nice Telecaster and cash my way if it helps to complete a transaction.

    Gibson 359 for sale

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    I've decided to sell my lovely immaculate Gibbo 359 because I simply don't play it enough to justify keeping it. I have a Custom Shop Strat that I play much more so this needs to go to someone that will give it the attention it deserves.

    The Guitar comes complete with its Gibson case and certificate of authenticity. I'm adding a link so that you can see what it looks like but I will add some pics of the actual guitar when I get my camera back! Mine is identical to the one in the link with a couple of exceptions. I've added gold locking Sperzel tuners as the Grovers were not as stable as they should have been. I've also added control knobs with 'volume' and 'tone' written over a pale gold insert rather than the plain black because I think they look nicer. I still have the originals though. Finally mine has the 30/60 neck not the 'slim' neck on the one pictured.

    This Guitar plays like a dream with a low fast action and tone to die for. These 57 Classic HB have tone in spades and will drive any valve amp in to hysteria if you want them to. Anyone seriously interested is more than welcome to give it a try through my 65 Deluxe Reverb RI, but be warned......If you do......you'll buy it!! :)

    There aren't that many of these around and new cost around the two and a half grand mark, which for a guitar out of the Gibson Custom Shop isn't bad I suppose. I'm only looking for £1400 which is a bit of a steal so if you're in the market for a Gibson Semi do yourself a favour and check this out. Its more comfortable and easier to handle than a 335 with no sacrifice to quality or tone.......and its cheaper.

    I went to a Robben Ford clinic last year and the man himself took time to admire this Guitar........well he has good taste, lol.

    G2D Cream Tone Overdrive *Final Price reduction*

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted · Edited by zapp

    Please ignore the other ad for this pedal.......don't really understand what happened....


    This is an excellent Overdrive for Guitar only. Very transparent so all your original tone just more drive with the advantage of a second button for a jump in volume for solo's. I'd describe this pedal as a medium drive pedal and not one for the metal shredders out there. This is more your Blues/Classic rock fraternity. I'll add a link so you can see and hear what it does.

    The pedal is in excellent condition and will be boxed properly. I'm asking £75 but that includes postage so a bit of a bargain as they're around £160 if you can find a new one.

    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!! :)

    Custom built Celinder inspired Bass *Price drop*

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by zapp

    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...









    Blackstar HT20 Combo*SOLD*

    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.

    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.

    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....

    You're more than welcome to come over and give it a try with no obligation and might even put the kettle on.....:)
