This has hardly been used and it's in new condition. I still have the original packaging, which is an Aguilar-labelled box, polystyrene inserts which cradle the amp and of course the user manual. I look after my gear! For amplification, I've used Aguilar gear, big and small, since 2006, but tonally I want something different for small gigs. I'm spoiled by my DB750, and I think the TH500 represents this tone nicely only without the headroom of the DB750, so I guess I'm expecting too much from it. It's a great little amp that fits in the front pocket of most gig bags. No trades thanks. £475 delivered in the UK. Please PM me for shipping enquiries outside the UK.

Thanks to everyone who has expressed an interest in this bass. I'm withdrawing its availability pending payment

Replied... [quote name='Arabesque-bass' timestamp='1321603445' post='1441023'] Hi Lawrie, Please reply my PM. I am really interested in buying this bass. Thanks!! Regards, Frank [/quote]

Hi thanks for the offer, I'm sure it really is an incredible bass. I will eventually have to replace my bass with another, but that would need to be a 5 string, and since my sale is financially motivated, I think the bass I would accept trades for would have to be priced under £1000. I am considering a Lakland Darryl Jones 5. Lawrie [quote name='kasbridge' timestamp='1321341266' post='1437908'] Hi, not sure whether you would be interested in a trade with adjustment - the Suhr plays and sounds like a top end pre-cbs Jazz but is better built with none of the foibles.... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/159531-for-sale-suhr-classic-j/page__p__1431466__hl__suhr__fromsearch__1#entry1431466"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1431466[/url] I tried it alongside a £6.5k pre-cbs in the gallery and this played and sounded way better....

I'm positive it's the same as my maple neck 5, but I'll check for sure on Friday! [quote name='rodney72a' timestamp='1321327198' post='1437893'] Nice... Is this 1 7/8'' or 1 3/4'' at the nut? [/quote]

Hi all This is my main touring bass so although I'm based in Scotland, the bass lives in climate-controlled storage with the rest of our gear in Germany, and is taken to wherever we perform around mainland Europe. I absolutely adore these basses. They're the best all-rounder instruments I've ever owned. I used this bass exclusively on the latest Stiltskin album, recorded earlier this year. I'm in the UK right now so I haven't had a chance to capture some nice close-ups, so for any of you who are interested, please bear with me and tolerate these pictures of me with the bass. I've chosen these photos specifically because I believe the bass is represented well in them. I do plan on taking more detailed photos over the next few weekends leading up to the year's end, and I'd like to make it clear I intend to use this bass until the year's end as there will be no opportunity to bring it home for any reasonable length of time. I have owned this bass from new - 'made-to-order' in 2007, not 'in stock' and arrived January 2008. Specs: Sadowsky NYC 5 string. Vintage-Style J. Parchment (mint white) pickguard. Ice Blue Metallic finish. Matching headstock. Alder body. Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. Sadowsky 2-band preamp with VTC. Sadowsky humcancelling Pickups. Chrome hardware. Hipshot Ultralight Tuners. Hipshot D-Tuner on B string. Removable Pickup cover. 21 Frets. Dunlop Straplocks. Weighs around 8ibs. There are a couple of unconcerning bumps on the body, which I will display asap. Otherwise the bass is in incredible condition for being so well travelled and played. The 4-bolt neck joint is solid and with the help of the spokewheel truss rod adjuster, neck adjustments are quick and effortless. Tonally, this has more natural mids compared to my other 5 string, which has a Swamp Ash Body/Maple neck combination. Unlike the Will Lee model, the standard Sadowsky preamp has no midrange boost/cut, yet panning towards the bridge pickup even slightly is a pretty effective mid boost in my experience. The Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard is stunning. It's much darker than the woods more commonly selected for their fingerboards, and around the upper frets there is a gorgeous streak of red in the grain. The Ice Blue Metallic finish is not a standard option on the current Sadowsky pricelist, and I like that Buying this bass new with its featured specs would cost [b]4675 USD.[/b] I'm looking for [b]2400 GBP (£)[/b]. [i]Re - TRADES[/i], I would prefer to close the deal with my asking price, then consider a replacement instrument after, but I would consider a Lãkland Darryl Jones 5 string as a part-exchange with cash difference - preferably in black/maple. Presently, it is transported inside a Ritter gig bag, which is placed inside an SKB Bass Safe. I would provide a Hiscox hardcase in the sale, and also the superb and ultra-comfortable [i]Monostrap[/i] - in grey suede. Postage I will discuss with any potential buyers, and would be added to the asking price. This is also featured on my artist page at [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/pop/artists/macmillan.html"]http://www.sadowsky..../macmillan.html[/url] (from when I had long hair..) Here's some live clips of the bass in action. Apologies, I have no home or 'peaceful' footage to hand!

End of July Bump!

Have a bump Gilles I wish I had the money for this right now!!

With pics!

[size=3]New condition with the exception of the velcro strips I stuck to the base, and a missing screw (as discovered when I went to take some pictures). It's a much more versatile octaver than my EBS Octabass, but I simply prefer the sound of the EBS. I agree with the common opinion that MXR is closer to the grittier, funkier sound of the original Boss OC2. The position markers are luminous and really are effective during brief and prolonged dark moments on stage. Includes original packaging and instructional booklet, with suggested user settings. Here's a link to the official product description.... [url="http://www.jimdunlop.com/product/m288-bass-octave-deluxe"]MXR 288 Bass Octave Deluxe specs[/url] £80 posted (in the UK). For international postage please sent PM. Cheques accepted but bank transfer preferred.[/size]

Monday bump

I used this for a few months when my DB750 was out of the shockmounted flightcase and helped make my rig look less overbearing, bringing an old-school look to the amp. Condition overall is very good, but there are a couple of scuffs at the rear. £85 including UK delivery. Solid construction with recessed rack rails. Durable tolex finish. Heavy duty carrying strap. Protective metal corners. Large rubber feet. Product Details. Will hold most amp heads but check dimentions just to be sure. I will include a black 1U rack spacer for anyone intending to use this with a 2U amp. Product Dimensions: 16 x 20.5 x 7.5 inches ; 19 pounds I'm located in Fife, Scotland so will knock a bit off the price if collected.

[font="Arial"]I've had this around a year, bought from an owner who bought it new and although I've never had it rackmounted, I have carried it in a dedicated Aguilar amp bag which I'll be including in the sale. Scratches are minimal and are mainly on the top panel. Front panel is like new. Overall condition very good. The amp is incredibly efficient, full of character and very clean without sounding transparent. For a lot of gigs where I'm DI'd into the PA, I can use the head with a single GS112 depending on the band set up, but even with the two 1x12 cabs it's a nice transportable rig that'll fit into the rear boot of most cars. Here's what the Aguilar website says....(essential reading).... The AG 500SC is a high-powered, lightweight head that combines an easy to use yet versatile EQ with 500 watts of power to create the perfect amp for the gigging bassist. Four bands of active EQ with bright and deep switches provide every tone from funk to rock to jazz. A flexible FX Loop and pure sounding D.I. are easily accessible on the front of this amp. Great features, tons of power and an affordable price make this amp a classic. Specs Power output: 500 watts @ 4 ohms, 250 watts @ 8 ohms Inputs: One ¼" Input jack with Active/Passive switch Tone controls: Bright: +5dB >4kHz shelving Treble: +/- 13dB @ 4kHz shelving High Mid: +/- 14dB @ 800Hz peaking Low Mid: +/- 14dB @ 400Hz peaking Bass: +/- 18dB @ 40Hz shelving Deep: +6dB <100Hz shelving FX Loop: Series/Parallel; Send pot is Push/Pull for Line or Instrument level; Return pot is Push/Pull for Parallel or Series operation. Outputs: Two Neutrik Speakon and two ¼" speaker outputs, XLR balanced D.I. out with Pre and Post EQ switch, Tuner output. Mute: Push button with LED (footswitch optional) Size: 2 rack spaces, 17" W X 3.5" H X 10" D Weight: 18 lbs. I never had rackears for this but the very fine Aguilar amp bag is included in the sale. I'm looking for [b]£580[/b] (thanks, but no trades) I'm located in Fife, Scotland. Collection would be ideal but I'll post the amp in the UK if required. Please message me with your location if interested.[/font]

[quote name='molan' post='854303' date='Jun 1 2010, 11:13 PM']There's this pic with three different Sadowsky 5 strings that seems to be something to do with gilbass as well? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=37636"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach...st&id=37636[/url][/quote] Have a bump on me Gil. I know you're never online! Gil is a mate of mine too and I can wholeheartedly vouch for his knowledge, sincerity and humour! He's been kind enough to allow me the use of his basses when mine haven't been to hand. I have performed and recorded with every Sadowsky bass he's owned. Out of the three basses, the blue quilt is no longer available. All basses are NYC, not Metro. The blue with matching headstock has a unique tone, which I think owes a lot to the ebony fingerboard. There's plenty of clarity and high end snap like a maple board, but the bass has more natural mids than the classic scooped-mid character often heard with Ash/Maple J-basses. An effective bridge between the tones of Sadowsky's 60s & 70s-inspired combinations of wood. This bass features the Vintage Tone Control. My first impression of the 24 fretter is how light it is. Anyone who has owned a Sadowsky NYC 5 strings will know how light they can be, especially compared to a Fender, but the lack of weight really is exceptional. Tonally, I think everyone would have their own comparisons away from the common [i]Jazz Bass[/i] sound. It's not unlike Sadowsky's take on a Jazz bass sound, but leans toward a more 'high-end' bass sound with it's rich low mids. The fingerboard is very pretty too

[quote name='largo' post='1172670' date='Mar 22 2011, 09:51 PM']that's me out too, didn't know what a Kinsman Case was but guessing it's not a hardcase [/quote] Me too! I have one of these in a natural finish and have been looking out for a spare since the day I knocked a hole in the back (since repaired). Great price for a great bass. As Nick said the B string is incredibly tight - did you mention it's a 35" scale? I guess that's where the name originates...
