Oh - Ive also had anothet delivery from Overseas which I forgot to put on here. See if you can spot it?

Another preamp from Master Effects in good ol Canada - 4 business days for delivery from shipping and no custom charges or fees at all! This is based on the GK RB800 and I think it’s a keeper, although I have said this many times before 😁 Also a NBD for me too! BBP35 fitted with Nordstrands came this morning 🔥 so a gratuitous shot of that is needed too I think! I’m about to go down to the shed and have a right old afternoon of it! Haha

Could you please post or send me some more pics mate? Particularly closer up on the body but just a few more in general, cheers man -
Sold a preamp pedal to Andy - super quick payer, no problems whatsoever. Great Basschatter 😊

Yes shipping isn’t a problem - it’s in a hard case and I’ve got cardboard boxes/padding etc - send me a PM -

It’s less than I can get for it selling to trade, I’ve been offered £800 to trade it in - and that’s what I’ll be doing if someone doesn’t buy it pretty quickly. I’m not leaving it up for ages, I genuinely thought I’d have had a lot of interest - I’ve got the exact same bass in sunburst with different electronics and I paid £1599 for it, these are up with Sadowsky Metroline etc in terms of build quality

For sale is a fantastic sounding & playing Mayones Jabba Classic 5 active super jazz with SD Bassline pickups and a Sadowsky VTC preamp. It comes in a semi hard case with a white and spare black Scratchplate, and spare black bridge and silver control plate as well as strap locks & Dimarzio strap. 24 frets, block inlays and 34.25” scale it’s an incredibly comfy bass to play with a nice slim neck. This bass sounds and plays fantastically well, like a bass that costs well over £2k new - a proper boutique jazz bass! These are the Good points, however it’s extremely cheap because it has its faults too.. Bad Points: The bad points or point is quite simply the body/finish is a bit rough. The worst of it as at the back - there’s some pretty heavy buckle rash, and then around the edges the finish has worn down to a matte, now it’s a trans black finish anyway and so you can’t see it too badlY around the edges/front but it’s there and the buckle rash you can definitely see, although it’s obviously not visible when you’re playing If this bass’s body/finish was in great nick then it would without a doubt sell for £1300-£1500+. There’s nothing wrong with the neck (it’s a 34.25” scale with a great low B), the hardware and electronics are premium, basically if you don’t mind the finish being a bit rough you can get this bass for half the price it’d be in Bass Direct etc. I really didn’t know how to price this, and I am sure it’s underpriced for what you’re getting - this is a top top end Boutique bass - you’ll barely find a Mayones anywhere for under £1700, but I have 2 now and honestly I need the money I’m afraid! This will make a fantastic gigging bass for someone, apart from the buckle rash and dulling of the finish in places there’s nothing wrong with it, most of it is hidden at the back anyway and you can’t really see it on stage anyway. I have priced this tho sell quickly - I feel like this is an absolute steal for somebody, the sound, neck, playability and electronics are all top drawer. Comes in a semi hard case, shipping can be arranged for £25

PM’d you mate -
Messaged you mate -
He’s on here now too @Celebrity Pedals -
Just Traded my Overwater with Keir for a Mayones Jabba that I had previously owned. Bass came back to me playing better than when it left & always a pleasure to deal with Keir
-
Got this through the post on Saturday - wow! Very impressed with it so far, really adds a little bit of magic to your tone - I had the mk1 a while ago but this is a pretty big upgrade on that - highly recommended

As said already a Tapered B string of the correct gauge (I used 135’s) worked great in making a B that sounded a bit flabby sound a whole lot better. I have a 35” Lakland jazz and the B is fantastic, and a 34.25” Mayones Jabba which again has a great B so I’m not sure scale length alone is everything, but I’ve had several Fender V’s and the B string has never really been “good” on any of them - tapered B string definitely fixed it somewhat, but I generally swerve Fender 5’s - they make fantastic passive 4 string basses, so they’re all I really look at from them now (unless I can play it first)

I’m giving it some serious thought! -
Don’t see many of the new Sansamp’s out in the wild - how do you rate it?

GMR Soundboard custom 4 - Trade for a 5 string
Paddy777 replied to Philly's topic in Basses For Sale
This might be worth a look if you’re after a 5st one - they’ll no doubt take that in Trade too Id have thought, although will probably cost you a bit of cash too, which might not be ideal! https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/gmr-soundboard-5-string-pre-owned/ I really like GMR basses - that’s a proper bargain for £550! -
Just wondering about the preamp/electronics on this - does it have a tone control and if so is it only in passive or whilst in active too? Cheers
-
I had a raspberry burst one of these, they’re much nicer than standard Stingrays, I prefer the preamp on the specials too, it felt like the high end was tamed a bit which I much preferred - I ended up punting it on tho cos I couldn’t live with the ‘slippy G’ string. It’s definitely a looker, I agree tho MusicMan seem to be concentrating on these higher end production basses, you can tell they’re an expensive bass when you’ve got it in your hands for sure 👌🏼
-
I didn’t know much about Phish or Mike Gordon prior to watching this, but he seems like he can play a bit and his pedalboard setup is massive and really interesting. Just thought I’d share it with some like minded effects nerds, as I can’t see it posted anywhere!

I think I’m going to give the FI v4 a go listening to those - there’s some excellent sounds there, at least I can get hold of one of these 😁 I like the Chaka Khan ones on the playlist especially. Tbf I have heard of multiple people that the tracking on the v4 is outstanding
-
Right someone needs to buy this I think 😁 £135 shipped - I’m taking an almost 50% loss from what I paid to import it, and this is a monster of a preamp if you’re an SVT head, this is an absolute steal! This video 👇 is a guy on TalkBass who gives it a good run thru and shows what it an do at fairly low gain (mostly 9-11 o’clock or less), into a cab, and running other drives into it, specifically how this preamp run fairly clean can make some pretty cheap drives sound good run into it. Anyway make your own mind up, I thought it sounded good -
Reduced to £160 - happy to look at trades
-
I’ve got an almost identical system and have the identical piece of silver gaffa tape over the LH hole on the back too 😁 made me chuckle haha. They’re absolutely solid systems - I mount the transmitter on my board most the time - but I’ve also had it rack mounted in an old tribute and it never missed a beat- 1 reply
