Obvs not a real band then To be fair my band/our band is the same. All very grown up, mind you we are in our late 50's early 60s for the most part so can't really be arsed to argue. Most debate is about who's turn it is to bring the beer.

Hi folks Another lovely bass sadly having to go. This is a great active modern J bass with some stand-out features. The bass has a zero fret (like Sandbergs), a bone nut, 24-fert neck with deep cut away in body for easy access and a very nice "heelless" joint for even better access, a tilted back headstock and noiseless pickups. The bass is in excellent condition and comes with the original high-quality Cort gig bag. I have also added some soft-touch control knobs with tell tales as the original fit items are fine but you can't tell at a glance where the settings are. The controls are: Volume (pull for preamp bypass) Blend Treble Mids (pull for mid frequency shift) Bass The full spec is here: Specifications · Code: NJS-4 WHT · Body: Alder · Construction: Bolt-On · Neck: Hard Maple 3pcs · Fretboard: Hard Maple · Radius: 12" (305mm) · Frets: 24 w/ Zero Fret · Scale: 34" (864mm) · Inlay: White Pearloid Block · Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite · Bridge: MetalCraft M4 · Pickups: Cort Voiced Tone VTB-ST · Electronics: Bartolini® Elrick NJS Special Preamp · Hardware: Chrome · Strings: D'Addario EXL165 · Special: Bone Nut Pickups The new Voiced Tone VTB-ST single-coil pickups perfectly complement the big robust sound of the bass with modern clarity, transparency and vintage warmth while eliminating noise with its hum-cancelling design. VTB-ST Specification · Magnet: Ceramic 8 Bar · Coil: AWG43 · Turns: 5,200 / 4,800 · Resistance: 6.5k ohm · Inductance: 3.9H Description · Character of the legendary J-style pickup with total elimination of the noise · Ferrite Ceramic 8 magnet provides the legendary clear and transparent J-style sound · AWG43 insulation, classic and time-proven materials and winding methods · Different amount of turns on first/second strings and on third/fourth/(fifth) strings for specific emphasis on high-end and low-end sonic character of the bass £550 OVNO please. Collection or meet up preferred, but may be able to post if I can find a box. Here are some pics.

F/S Limelight '64 Jazz Bass - Olympic White with hardcase - *SOLD*

NOW SOLD For sale is my Limelight copy of a real ’64 Jazz Bass. The last picture being the original real item. This is a real wrench as I love this bass, but increasing arthritis in my hands means my playing is getting severely restricted these days. The bass has been aged to look like the original but was made last year and has some lovely checking. It has never been taken out of the house. Specs are: Alder Body Maple neck with Rosewood board (vintage radius) Aged Olympic White finish with nitrocellulose varnish Aged hardware with period-correct reverse tuners Classic volume/volume/tone electronics using high quality components Limelight custom pickups In addition the bass comes with a good quality hard case. The bass weighs 4.2kgs or 9lbs 3oz in old money; so pretty light for a jazz bass. Collection or a half-way meet-up is preferred as at the moment I don’t have any suitable packaging to courier the bass. I will try to find something if needs be. I’d be happy to answer any questions or take more pictures if there is a detail you would like to see more of.

SOLD ELSEWHERE The sell off continues; arthritis in my fingers Next up is my rig, Genz Benz Streamliner 600 and Barefaced 210S. This listing is for the Streamliner amp. Happy to talk about a deal if you want both items. It's in very good condition as I hope the pics testify, and in full working order. It has been used as my back line for a few years but you really wouldn't guess that from the overall great condition. I had a full service carried out a couple of years ago and the sticker for the place that did it is on the side of the amp as you can see in the pics. It will come with a kettle lead and a Gator carry case. If you ask me nicely I could add a Speakon cable too. All of this for £400 or very near offer please. Collection or meet up preferred. Slightly nervous about posting due to valves inside, but if you are happy to accept the risk this could be arranged at cost.

I don't anymore sadly. With my arthritis problems I am slowly selling off pretty much all my basses. I may keep one or two and something to play through but that will be about it.

Ref the OP, I did the same thing myself a few years ago. Only minor difference was at the break I made my position clear that if they didn't turn down then I was on my way. They did, thankfully, but I still left the band the next day.

Fellow sufferer. I can often tune it out, but I find that if I'm in a room with a lot of folks talking I find it really hard to tune into the conversation I'm having. Quite frustrating as a part of my job is to do events/public speaking etc.

Well, I never thought the day would come that I’d be selling this bass because of arthritis. When I ordered this bass I was attempting to create my perfect version of a Gibson EB3 style bass without the things that frustrate me about Gibson basses in general. I have to say that I was, and still am, very pleased with the result. A great gigging bass with a good variety of tones to hand, from deep and rich to very punchy. Weight is just over 4kgs. The bass is in excellent condition having been cherished all its life. It will come with a gig bag. AGH is a small one-man builder in Leek (when I picked this up, Alex said that was pausing new builds, but that may be old info now). I also have some pics of the build process if anyone would like to see them. Spec.: · Body - Cherry with Indian Rosewood top and radiussed body edges (not beveled) · Finish - Natural satin · Scale length - 32” with 21 vintage-style frets + zero fret · Neck - 5-pc Maple/Wenge (neck through with angled 2 over 2 with Gibson-esque headstock · Nut width – 43mm · Fretboard - Rosewood with 20" radius · Side dots - Luminlay · Bridge - BadAss II · Electronics - Passive: Volume, Blend, Tone, Series/Parallel mini switch for Artec EBC4 · Pickups Neck - Artec EBC4 Mudbucker (placement per early 70s EB-0 / EB-3) · Bridge – Thunderbird-style · Strap locks - Dunlop Dual Design · Tuners - Lightweight Gotoh keys · Hardware colour - Chrome · Strings - D’Addario EX170BT I would probably prefer a meet up to hand over the bass if at all possible or collection from me if you’re nearby. I might consider a courier if either of the preferred options is not possible. Clearly there would be some additional cost involved. There’s an NBD thread here: Here are some pics. Happy to answer any questions, do more pics and for anyone to try the bass out here. Thanks for looking.

Community Fundraiser for our very own Lee650
ead replied to AndyTravis's topic in General Discussion
Done. Lee is a top banana. -
Pictures to follow later today. For sale is my barely used Valeton Bass Dapper in the original box with PSU and mini manual. I've used it maybe 3 to 4 times at home only and it was originally purchased to use as a DI into the PA. Now that I'm winding down and getting rid of stuff, this is up for grabs. It has several components, most of which are clones of well known gear: - Tuner - Compressor/boost - Envelope filter - Drive - Octaver - Chorus - XLR DI output and an effects loop £60 including UK postage.
