Bump for reduced price before it's off to eBay at a higher price - I will not accept offers on this price, I really can't go any lower than this

Bump!!

Reluctantly I've decided to sell my 2006 MIM Fender Jazz which I bought earlier this year. I've hardly used it since I bought it & I've now switched to short scale basses so it's not going to get used. It's in very good condition with a few little marks here & there as you would expect. It has the 60th anniversary badge on the back of the headstock. It has newish d'Addarios fitted & has a nice low action. Sounds just like a Jazz should! I've been selling off some of my collection of basses recently & I've now run out of boxes so I would prefer collection if possible, either from my home address near Kettering (weekends) or from my work address in Leicester (weekdays). Please feel free to PM me with any questions.

Just a quick bump - it would make a lovely Xmas pressie for someone!!

Hi mate, I wouldn't put your personal details in a post. Most people on here are great but you never know who else is viewing. You would be better to PM lonestar with your details (if you hover over his name at the top left of his post it's one of the options "send message"). Good luck!

Now sold on eBay. After much thought I've reluctantly decided to sell most of my gear as it's not getting used & I have some major expenditure coming up. I've recently changed back to playing short scale basses & I looked for one of these for quite a while before finding a shop with stock left. It's a Limited Edition Epiphone EB0 in Pelham Blue (Epiphone Custom Shop sticker on the back of the headstock) that I bought about a month ago & I've only used it a couple of times at home since then so obviously it's in as new condition (if anyone wants pics taken I'll take some but it's as the stock photo's below). It's got a lovely deep tone as you would expect & is nice and easy to play so would make a great beginners bass or for a guitarist wanting to dabble with bass. My only reason for selling is that, unknown to me, my wife bought me a short scale Squier Jaguar for my birthday just after I [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]had[/font][/size] bought this. I'll box it up if you want to arrange a courier to collect. Can be collected from Leicester or Desborough depending on day/time. I'm looking for [s]£125[/s] [b]NOW £115[/b] (No offers at this price!!) which is a lot less than I paid for it a few weeks ago (sorry I've not got a case for it). Specs are:[list] [*][color=#000000]Limited edition Pelham Blue Finish[/color] [*][color=#000000]Sidewinder Humbucker pickup[/color] [*][color=#000000]Chrome Hardware[/color] [*][color=#000000]30.5" Scale[/color] [*][color=#000000]1.50" Nut Width[/color] [*][color=#000000]Rosewood Fretboard[/color] [*][color=#000000]Mahogany Neck (Bolt on)[/color] [*][color=#000000]Dot Inlays[/color] [*][color=#000000]Mahogany Body[/color] [/list] Any questions please feel free to PM me. Cheers

Last bump with pricedrop - now £150. It's going on eBay tomorrow!

Bump back to the top!

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Very reluctantly I'm putting my Retrovibe Aero 1 up for sale. It was bought for me by my wife earlier this year but I've only used it a couple of times at home & once at a practise where it sounded superb. Unfortunately due to the onset of rheumatism which is affecting my hand, shoulder & elbow I've had to switch to a lighter short scale bass in the hope that I can continue to play. Don't get me wrong - it's not an exceptionally heavy bass it's just that I'm suffering at the moment if I play for any length of time (the same applies to my MIM Fender Jazz which I may also sell shortly). As you can see from the pics (links below) it is a close Aerodyne copy. They are very well constructed basses with a decent range of sounds available. If you search basschat you will find some reviews. Specs are: [color=#000000]Body: Basswood, White with Black binding[/color] [color=#000000]Scratchplate: Black[/color] [color=#000000]Controls: 2 x Volume, 1 x Tone[/color] [color=#000000]Bridge: 4-string, chrome, top-load[/color] [color=#000000]Pickups: 1 x J-type, 1 x P-type[/color] [color=#000000]Neck: Maple, bolt-on, White with Black binding[/color] [color=#000000]Fretboard: Rosewood[/color] [color=#000000]Frets: 20[/color] [color=#000000]Overall length: 1160mm[/color] [color=#000000]Overall width: 349mm[/color] [color=#000000]Body thickness:36mm[/color] [color=#000000]Scale length:845mm (34 inches)[/color] [color=#000000]Width at nut: 38mm[/color] [color=#000000]Width at 12th fret: 56.3mm[/color] [color=#000000]Markers: Pearloid block markers[/color] [color=#000000]Tuners: Chromed open-gear type[/color] Unfortunately I don't have a spare case but it will be wrapped carefully in bubblewrap & boxed (or you can collect from my home near Kettering or from where I work in Leicester). These basses have received good reviews on here & it would make a great alternative to taking your expensive bass to those more dodgy gigs we get to do . It would also make a great beginners bass with it's thin Jazz spec neck. Thanks for looking. Please PM me with any questions. Links to pics:[/font][/size]

[quote name='Adrenochrome' timestamp='1320790767' post='1431587'] Cheers, I'm very interested - no need to check the weight though, I was just after a rough idea . [/quote] I tried overdriving this tonight, it was a bit difficult in my garage (where it is now residing) because everything in there was resonating with the volume! but you can get a nice overdriven sound by turning up the gain & selecting the Hi & Low boost buttons. Obviously I don't know what exact sound you are looking for or whether your bass is active or passive. Hope this helps. Cheers

Hi Jon I think it is 22kgs but I'll check for you - it is a solid well built piece of kit. I've never tried overdriving it but I would think that with the valve pre-amp section it should do that well. I'll have a play with it tomorrow & let you know. Thanks for your interest Cheers Steve

Bump for pics now added (not the best pics I've ever taken but the light at the rehearsal room was poor - that's my excuse anyway!!)

ON HOLD PENDING PAYMENT ETC. Hi, [attachment=92824:WHB200Combo.jpg] [attachment=92825:PICT0045.JPG] [attachment=92826:PICT0046.JPG] This is a real bargain - a virtually new good quality 2 x 10 combo for £140!! I'm sure you all know the reputation Wharfedale has for high quality speakers. In 2009 they launched this range of quality guitar & bass amp heads, speaker cabs & combo's. I've had this for just over 12 months but just after I bought it I hurt my back so I've now moved onto a lightweight head & cab so this is not getting used. If anyone wants pics I'll take some next time I'm at the rehearsal room. Basically it is rated at 200 watts with 2 x 12AX7/ECC83 valves in the pre-amp stage & so many sound shaping options that you could probably spend a week trying different sounds out! It's fairly loud for 200 watts & I'm sure would quite easily hold it's own for small to medium sized gigs. It is built entirely in house by Wharfedale including the 2 x 10" speakers & horn. Specs are below but I would have a look at the manual (link below) because there's more detail there: 200 watt hybrid amplifier 2x10" + horn Bass combo - special angled cabinet for session and club use where good directional sound is required. Mixed technology 200 watt Bass Combo 2 x 10" Wharfedale Bass Technology speakers + Titanium Angled Compression driven Horn Angled cabinet design for close sound projection All tube preamp section for signal processing and Treble, Bass and preset EQ functions High Voltage solid state Middle circuit High Definition 200 watt/8ohm Solid state power amplifier Thermostatically Fan Cooled with oversize heatsink for continuous heavy duty use Input section - Jack input, -10dB pad switch, Gain Boost switch, Tuner Mute switch, Rotary Gain control EQ section - push switches for Low Cut, Low Boost, High Boost & Mid Depth coupled with Bass control with 3 position Range switch, Mid control with 3 position Range switch, Treble control with 3 position Range switch Master Output Level control Power ON/OFF and Standby switches Series FX loop with Bypass and Level switches DI output with Ground Lift switch It also has an in built 300hz crossover linked to a jack socket so that you can add an 8ohm cab as a passive sub woofer - I've tried this & it sounds awesome! It's in great condition because it's only been used a couple of times for rehearsals & never been gigged, they are extremely well built & still retail at £469 at Electromusic. I may be interested in a trade for a bass but I would prefer cash. Due to the weight this would need to be collected from either Desborough in Northants or from where I work in Leicester.
