These seem to be getting a bit rarer but despite chasing one of these for years after selling my first i think i need to acknowledge my back needs some lighter weight gear. Here we have a USA made SVT III which preceded the current 3pro's. This one has the much famed SVT IIP preamp couples with a big old led sled solid state power amp. 3 x 12AX7's give it a nice throaty growl but there is no full on valve distortion here just a nice old school type roar. Is missing one slider cap but can still be changed with a plectrum - not that i use the graphic EQ anyway. A few of the pots could do with a blast of deoxit as the amp has been set at my fave EQ and never really changed. I dont have a rack case or anything so ideally its collection from Bolton only but could meet within reason. Possibly consider a part ex for an Ashdown Little Bastard/CTM30 Pics to follow asap-

Morning all. Dont suppose anyone knows the size of screw used by orange for their Bass Terror at all? Its the screws that hole the main cage/lid onto the amp. The OG ones are seemingly made of cheese and strip at the sight of a screw driver. Looking to upgrade them to something a bit stronger

Lovely looking bass that!

Anyone recommended an attenuator for the DI on an Orange Bass Terror? I believe the one i need is -40db to fix the 'Hot DI' isues?

P.S - as you can see ive fitted a bridge cover. The thumbrocker thumb rest will be removed before sale and will leave no trace as this is a drop in mod. Very sunny here so anything other than the aforementioned dent will sun sun glare. More pics to follow once ive cleared space

I bought this as a B-Stock item from Guitar Village as i desperately wanted to have a P bass back in my arsenal. However, with slight arthritis in my hands i really do pick up my jazz bass for anything other than a bit of house noodling and as such i want to cash it in to fund a backup jazz I've seen. These are MIM but to vintage specs including slab rosewood fingerboard, alder body, reverse kluson type tuners and threaded saddle bridge. Even the tort guard has a slight celluloid look to it with indentations where the tugbar is a really nice depth to the tort. I've fitted tonerider pickups as i do to all my basses but the originals come with the bass. Ive also whacked on some GHS Precision Flats for the old-school tone. Pics including the dent near the forearm (reason it was B stock) to follow asap. I have since slightly filled the chip with black nail varnish which makes it much less noticeable. For me, my favourite precision colours are the 50's style burst/gold/maple and then this burst/tort/rosewood - just a classic look. Part ex wise/trade wise id consider something valvey - Ashdown Little Bastard/CTM30 or my ideal amp an EBS T90. Bass wise im pretty sorted but i am partial to MIJ fender basses. Sale muchly preferred. No case for this as i use a dual gig bag for my gigs so it would be collection from Bolton or could potentially arrange meets. Pics to follow asap

For some reason my Gen 1 Barefaced compact doesn't have feet and there are no holes to suggest it ever did. I have thought about adding some as one regular place we play has a laminate floor that doesn't appear to be particularly level and the cab rocks slightly on that surface

To quote one of my favourite movies Snatch - you could land a fackin jumbo jet in that!

lovely looking Jazzer has come up at Richtone:- https://richtonemusic.co.uk/fender-1977-jazz-bass-black-2nd-hand/ Bit on the weighty side mind and not much details about the originality of the guts also the pic of the E side neck pocket seems to show a huge gap?

Bought a B stock Vintera II P bass recently in a lovely burst/tort/slab rosewood but after being a Jazz bass player for so long I'm really struggling with the neck. Maybe time to sell and go for a Hama Okomoto P Bass!

So ive had a Ric itch for quite a while now and been looking at this particular one for some time:- https://richtonemusic.co.uk/rickenbacker-4001-1978-autumn-glo-hard-case-2nd-hand/ It seems to have sold once and been returned a few months back (ive watched it for a while). Obviously i have concerns it has been returned although it may just have not suited the buyer. From what i can see there is a reasonable tail lift that i would absolutely want more pictures of before travelling to Sheffield to see it fully. Love the colour and the 'mojo' but is there anything else obvious from the photos that i should ask for more in depth pics of before travelling to actually try the bass. This will be (potentially) my first ric being mainly a J and P player so me knowledge here is very limited. Cheers in advance..

Are we allowed to discuss rickenbackers on this forum now? Ive seen a used vintage one but have a few concerns id like to run by someone more experienced than me

Lacks quite a bit of low end. I know Mark Stroemer or however you spell it who played bass on the track used a modified Boss Blues Driver for a lot of the Hot Fuss album and had that kind of tome on a lot of the songs

As above, ive always had great experiences with Elites, nice and cheap too. Unfortunately for me there seems to be a current shortage of their flatwounds!
