Me And My Bass

Hey guys,

I’m about to post up a wanted ad for a micro amp, looking at the usual Warwick Gnome, TE Elf, MB200 etc 

Am I right in thinking the only micro amp with a AUX in for playing along with tracks etc is the GK MB200? Does anyone else have any micro suggestions to consider?

Thanks, Chris

Awesome jazz bass from G&L, bought for £437 from dv247.com and only used twice. Bought to take to a festival gig in Spain.
Great sounding bass for the money, and a cool colour too. Added a couple of stock pictures as well to show colour in different light.

G&L Blurb -

Bassists who are fond of the old adage "if it ain’t broke, don't fix it" clearly haven’t played a G&L JB-2! This rock-solid workhorse instrument from G&L's affordable Tribute Series is all about refinement — taking the iconic J-bass formula and refining it by blending "holy grail" Alnico single-coil tone with modern Leo Fender-designed innovations.

For starters, the JB-2 has a more contemporary "vibe" with its comfortable body shape inspired by G&L's L Series models. The slim Maple neck features a smooth satin finish, while the relatively flat 12" radius and medium-jumbo nickel frets deliver modern playability. What's more, the JB-2 boasts G&L 's acclaimed 'Saddle-Lock' bridge that transfers string energy right into the body for incredible resonance!

Have you looked inside to see how the selector works ? Looks like it's passive so guessing just different caps and/or resistors ?

Bought this a few weeks back, got my eye on a Flea bass or the ACG posted now, this is up for grabs.

Sentinel short scale bass number 39626.

Produces some amazing P bass sounds!

Strung with Fender flatwound strings. nearly new Ritter standard size gig bag. Original D'addario round wounds also included.

See notes on condition of the bass - there is a chip in the rear if the bass that's approx 1.5 cm long. Ive sealed it with super glue to stop it spreading. Apart from that it’s in great condition.

Pickup preferred, but can post at buyers expense.

Tech spec -

The Reverend Sentinel is a thick sounding, professional-grade short-scale bass. A raised center ridge provides more mass, while the Reverend P-Blade pickup extends the low-end. The innovative Joe Naylor designed 3-way voicing switch offers three distinct tonal variations: bright, normal, and deep in an elegantly simple control layout, The Reverend Sentinel is versatile and multifaceted – unexpected in a single-pickup bass. This bass thumps!

Replied to your PM dude. Bass got played once since bringing it home from the shop new. Cheers 

Bought this new for £360, was going to replace the pickup & preamp with a Nordstrand and John East prep but never got round to it, the bass has sat unused. 

A now discontinued colour it seems. £300 please, based in Glasgow. Happy to deliver to city centre. 

Courier also possible within the U.K.

The Music Man Sterling Sub Ray 4 String is an affordable StingRay style bass at a more affordable price than it's American counterpart.

It's got the classic design of a fat humbucker pickup in the bridge position with active electronics for a clear, punchy bass sound. This bass is simple and uncluttered and that's what makes it such an easy beast to tame. The neck is comfortable in the hand and the Rosewood fretboard adds a warmth to the tone.

The hardware is rock solid, and made to take a beating on stage and with a single colume control. The other control knobs will handle your EQ with a hi frequency cut/boost and a low frequency cut/boost.
