  1. I will be there too Probably with some different basses to what I first imagined.
  2. Definitely not a skater Walking in a straight line is tricky enough.
  3. ATM these are not being made to order but as and when Alan can. But a nudge here and there...
  4. For those who like the TT I would heartily recommend an ACG Graft J Type. About £300 cheaper than the Sandberg and beautifully built and finished in the UK. Here's mine:
  5. SOLD ELSEWHERE Here is my Pete Wentz signature Stingray, a passive Stingray bass. Bought last year and made in March 2022 according to SBMM to whom I sent the serial number for verification. It's like the weirdly/confusingly named new SB14 (Joe Dart-a-like) but in black and without the weird white knob. The roasted maple neck is glorious to get around on with its satin finish. The tone is natural and very rich. Output across the strings is very constant (no weak G string here). I understand that the pickup is wired in series. The bass weighs just over 4.2kgs (9.2lbs) by my scales. The bass is all original and comes with a good quality padded gig bag. Any questions please just ask. Equally if you would like some more pics of any detail let me know what you would like to see. Here is some blurb from the SBMM site: The Sterling by Music Man Pete Wentz Signature Bass is a high-performance powerhouse designed and built for the Fall Out Boy bassist. Pete's signature model features the StingRay shape with an ergonomic contour, black hardware with contrasting gold pickguard, and a super-stable roasted maple neck. Powering the tones is a single alnico V humbucker, ready to thrash thick and punchy voicings. For focus and simplicity, it's paired with passive electronics and volume and tone controls to make on-the-fly sculpting effortless. Coupled with open-gear tuners in a 3+1 headstock and a SBMM-designed bridge, you can expect a faultless tuning stability and gigging reliability from Pete's signature bass. Not only does it look good and perform with reliability, but it's finished with the signature Wentz Loon inlay for a stylish, yet understated class Pete Wentz, the Fall Out Boy co-founder and bassist, is an enduring icon, having shaped the sound of punk rock, pop punk and beyond. His new Artist Series StingRay pays homage to these roots while embracing modern playability. As Sterling by Music Man’s first full-scale passive bass, this workhorse StingRay is powered by an Alnico V humbucker for vintage-style warmth and punch, along with dual controls for seamless performance.

Here are some pics, I find black shiny basses hard to capture so apologies for the many stray reflections. I can assure your that the bass is in excellent condition. Any trials welcome with beverages and biscuits as required. If you are not too far away I’d rather deliver the bass to you in exchange for some petrol money rather than send by courier. Or I’d be happy to meet up somewhere too. If none of this is possible then a courier would be the last resort.
  6. Andy just acquired a ZeroMods rest from me. Very easy transaction, great comms and super quick payment. Deal in confidence folks.
  7. Mark at Classic & Cool is super good and I acquired my Sandbergs that way including weird spec requests that were easily dealt with.
  8. Kevin just acquired a mute from my spares draw. The easiest of easy transactions. Top banana, deal in confidence folks.
  9. I like the fretelss Pino stuff he did with Paul Young. Especially "Wherever I Lay My Hat..." or "Love of the Common Peeps".
  10. I think this would be the case for most of us
  11. @vincbt asking for a friend; can you confirm that you are indeed a bass player and should you be on this forum with radical ideas like this?
  12. Now sold thanks. Another unused thing from the spares box. Jaguar mute that can easily be used on a bass. In fact there is a tread about fitting on on here: These are about £45 on-line. Grab this for just Pics below:
  13. Now sold thanks For sale is this thumb rest for Stingray type basses. I had it on my SBMM Pete Wentz Stingray without any problem; the key dimension is the distance between the two relevant pickguard screws. Please see the diagram below. More information can be found here: https://www.zero-mod.com/models.html These cost about £50 from the USA.
  14. I do like my Japanese Geddy Lee J bass (one of the first run they made). Not because I'm a big Rush/Geddy fan (I am), but because it's the best Fender I've owned, and I've been through a few looking for one I liked and could stick with.
  15. Folks, this has been lurking around in my spares draw for too long without a purpose and needs to find a loving home. Absolutely unused. £30 including P&P to UK mainland. Thanks for looking.
  16. Yes! I can now look at the picture without twitching (very much my issue).
  17. Aesthetically I feel that the red one should be in the middle flanked by the two white ones, moving the 3rd from the right one space further to the right.
  18. I feel to split this up would be gross misconduct. It looks amazing and the fretless P-bass I used to own was great.
  19. Any firm that advertises on TV during rugby matches.
  20. Aidan very kindly sent me a spare Hipshot tuner to try on a bass to check for fit as there was some doubt about whether it really was a drop in. Turned out that it wasn't and he has saved me a lot of grief so thanks very much. What a top bloke.
  21. NOW SOLD ELSEWHERE 2011 Ibanez G104 Grooveline 4-string bass in Deep Expresso, with hard soft-case This is a genuinely rare bass being produced between 2011 and 2015 by the Ibanez custom shop in Japan (FujiGen) as part of the upmarket Prestige line of basses. These instruments retailed for over $2,500 when launched, and the attention to detail is exactly what you would expect from a Japanese custom shop that produce such high-quality instruments. This particular example is in excellent condition having been well looked after. One of the best features of the bass is the way it balances both seated and standing. This was one of the key design parameters and the slightly playful body shape contributes massively to this. The neck is delightful to get around on and the Gotoh hardware is top notch too. I have used some professional pics of this very bass as my skills in this area are very limited. I can assure you that it is the same instrument and will happily provide my lame efforts if you would like some additional images of any aspect of the instrument. There is plenty of positive comment on the internet about these basses (and also about the marmite body shape to be fair, but I absolutely contest the odd comment about having a thin tone; not the case at all). I am happy to answer any questions you may have, and if you want to come and try the bass that is perfectly fine too. Specifications · Body: Ash Top & Back with an Alder body · Neck: Wenge/Bubinga 5-pc with Titanium reinforcement rods and 6 bolts to the body · Fretboard: Rosewood, side dot position markers and 22 frets · Scale Length: 34” (864mm) · Frets: Medium Stainless Steel · Nut: GraphTech Black TUSQ XL (38mm) · Neck Pickup: Ibanez CAP Sonic Arch passive · Bridge Pickup: Ibanez CAP Sonic Arch passive · Preamp: Ibanez E4 with 3-band EQ (and EQ bypass switch) · Controls: Master volume / balancer / EQ toggle / 3-way EQ cut or boost: treble, mid, bass · Bridge: Tight-End Bass 4 with 19mm string spacing · Hardware: Cosmo Black · Included: High quality hard soft-case I would really prefer collection if you are close by, but if you are not too far away I’d rather deliver the bass to you in exchange for some petrol money than send my courier. Or happy to meet up somewhere too. I've borrowed the BassBros pics from when I bought it as they are so much better than mine. I have also included a pic of the bass at ead towers to prove that I really do own it!
  22. To be fair, mine was a pretty new listing.
