  1. [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1393619818' post='2382771'] How about you marking the title "sold" then? [/quote] Because circumstances occurred which made going online impossible. No offence taken and thanks for all of your interest
  2. From a Sting signature Fender P-Bass. Not the highest output but has a great top-end which is ideal for pick work and recording [url="http://s1342.photobucket.com/user/lawriemacmillan/library/Sting%20Sig%201950s%20Fender%20P-Bass%20pickup?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1342.photobu...p?sort=3&page=1[/url]
  3. [b]£100[/b] posted in UK. [color=#2C2B2B]Humcancelling J/J for 5-string (pair)[/color] from my 2006 NYC Standard 5, which were recently replaced by singlecoils. They have a great crisp tone, with a slight mid-scoop. Perfect working order but the covers have obvious signs of play, which I think I've reflected in the price! This bass has been my main workhorse since I bought it straight from the Brooklyn shop. [color=#2C2B2B]Note: Sadowsky J-Bass 5-string pickups are both the same size as a bridge position 4-string pickup. They are intended for 3/4" (19mm) string spacing at the bridge. They DO NOT fit Fender 5-string basses .[/color]
  4. Fantastic bass and at an incredible price! It's like a brother to my own....good luck with the sale!

  5. Hi These are currently in storage in Poznan, Poland after being retired from my regular touring equipment. They were bought new in 2010 and are in great condition. It's just too expensive to ship them back to the UK. If any UK buyers are interested, please feel welcome to contact me and I'll look into the costs of bringing them over here. Roqsolid fitted padded covers included.

I have a DB750 amp head available in storage (not for sale) for any interested buyer who wishes to try them.

  6. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1391340419' post='2355884'] I cant get that link to work. [/quote] Right enough. I'm looking into it...thanks for the heads up!
  7. Mull away, I'm in no rush! I have however retired it from gigging until someone does buy it
  8. I bought this collectable 4-Bolt neckplate shortly before finding an original 3-Bolt plate which I favoured. Here's the eBay listing from a reputable vintage parts seller in the USA, which I bought for [i]£90[/i] not including shipping or import charges which were added upon checkout: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350969688895?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1438.l2649[/url] Original Musicman parts are hard to find and this could be a tasteful decorative addition to add a [i]classic[/i] look to Ernie Ball models. Based on the markings, the general consensus is that it is dated between 1979-1984. Dimensions are 2.5"x 2" I'm looking for [b]£80[/b] including UK delivery.

  9. [quote name='bassbluestew' timestamp='1389261297' post='2331945'] Only once - it's a very recent acquisition. Loved the sound, just what I'm after, a bit more modern than the TH500 which is what I wanted. Now thinking of changing cabs :-( [/quote] I urge you to try the 4x8" New York 804!!!!!!
  10. [quote name='bassbluestew' timestamp='1389214922' post='2331562'] Just got one of these last week. Great amp, clean but warm and extremely powerful, and surprisingly modern sounding to my old cloth ears :-) GLWTS Lawrie. [/quote] Thank you Stewart! :-) Have you played it live yet? Even though I'm selling this one, I still have the TTE 800 amp over in the continent. They sound gorgeous!
  11. I've never opened it to check the brand. It wouldn't surprise me if they were JJs, because they had them in the older Classic 300 heads
  12. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1388952768' post='2328116'] Lovely heads, these. Half tempted to sell my Tonehammer and buy this one! [/quote] I'm sure you would have no trouble selling the ToneHammer...if it really came to that!
  13. Asking price now [b]£600.[/b] I've owned this since new from the first shipment batch to the UK from the factory in Italy. Condition is as near to new as I can describe. I look after my gear! The DI box that sits atop the amp when I'm gigging has rubber pads which haven't affected the surface or the factory sticker in any way. Included in the sale is the dedicated Markbass TTE holdall (£75), which has a side pocket capable of storing a power cable, speaker cable and a velcro-fixing Markbass 'Bass Keeper' (£20), which I'll also include. It attaches nicely to the right side handle of the amp and secures a bass nicely, as I've shown in one of the photos in the link below. The weight of this amp is LIGHT given it's size and power. 6kg/13lbs. I never ran out of headroom with the amp either, and even with the input in 'passive' mode, my active basses never clipped at gig volumes. [b]Preamp: [/b]Tube [b]Tube: [/b]3x ECC83 + 1x ECC81 (compressor) [b]Power Amp: [/b]Analog (TTE: “Tube Technology Emulator”) [b]Power Supply:[/b]Special Markbass Digital Power Supply [b]Power:[/b] 500W @ 4 ohms / 300W @ 8ohms [b]EQ[/b] (passive) - BASS - MIDDLE - HIGH [b]Controls: [/b]compressor - colour (tube-driven VLE) [b]Outputs: [/b]Speakers (2 speakon combo) - Line Out (XLR) Tonally, it's very valve-y (or tube-y, depending on your location!). I feel it leans towards more of an all-valve Ampeg B-15 than say a modern hybrid amp, such as the Aguilar DB750, especially with the Compressor and the Colour (VLE) control in use . However, it can be kept very clean and fast-sounding with minimal adjustment. I've used this with Traveler 1x12 and New York 804 cabs - both with impressive results. There are orange LEDs around the circuitry that give a subtle valve-like glow through the mesh on darkened stages. The new price of these amps range approximately from £700-900 from reputable suppliers in the UK. [b]£615[/b] including TTE amp bag, Bass Keeper and UK delivery. Photobucket link. I've included a stock photo from the official website to show how black the finish is when not under purple/red stage lights which seem to have affected the amp's appearance in the photos I took: [url="http://s1342.photobucket.com/user/lawriemacmillan/library/Markbass%20TTE%20500?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1342.photobu...0?sort=3&page=1[/url]
