  1. Hi all, Here we have my Fernandes Gravity 5x. Bought last year as a back up to my Warwick, but now being sold as I'm trying to move away from 5s and am looking for a different sound. There's not a lot of info out there about these, as they seem to be quite uncommon. It dates from 2008 and is made in China. Twin single coil pickups with vol, vol, tone. Simple as it gets. Tonally it's got a quite aggressive sound, the twin Jazz pickups are really high output, with a really punchy sound. You'll note the front pickup is moved towards the bridge compared to the usual J/J set ups, definitely gives it a funkier, mid-rangey sound. The tone pot is effective all the way round, giving a wide sweep of different tones (and a really funky rear pickup sound). B-string was the biggest surprise for me on this bass. It's very taught and defined, better than many other basses I've had at 4/5x the price. It's in 9/10 condition. It recently had a brand new input jack installed and plays very cleanly across all frets. A nice first foray into a 5 string for someone, or a great reliable, good sounding backup. Weight is a lovely 3.9 kg. Collection from Moreton in Marsh, which is located on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border. Will happily meet up within an hour's drive for handover, or a bit further for a small petrol contribution (purely due to the low cost of the bass). Thanks for looking!
  2. There are some really nice basses out there that I'd take off the owners hands in a heartbeat (one in particular that's graced these pages and Facebook Marketplace), but loads of people have seemingly been taking strong hallucinogenics when it comes to pricing these days. It has really accelerated/got worse since COVID, but pricing has not yet come back down to earth. The basses remain unsold for months, if not years, on end.
  3. Bloody lovely bass, I'm tempted - has this sold? The knobs on it look different to other Black finished Specials I've seen, they look flat topped rather than domed. Have they been switched out?
  4. Wonderful Bass! One of these was Nick Fyffe's weapon of choice for his time in Jamiroquai. Watch their 'Live in Verona' DVD - the tone is great.
  5. Slightly off topic, but, I sometimes feel like an outlier, as I'm just as happy on a 4 or 5. It seems to invoke some bizarre tribalism in people, but really, it's not that big of a difference, or a difficulty to swap between the two, IMO. Whatever gets the job done. Back on topic, never had an issue selling a 5er - price is everything!

    Sold Simon a Warwick Streamer! Not only does he have the best name anyone could possibly have (not that I have a vested interest) a nice guy, easy transaction and good comms. He came to meet me in classic Basschat fashion (motorway service station) to collect! A credit to Basschat! Enjoy the bass!
  7. Hi all! Here we have my Markbass Little Mark IV, purchased new from Andertons in August 2023. Still with box and bumf. 500w at 4 ohm and 300w at 8 ohm load. Features the revised 4-band EQ with a more usable frequency points than previous models. Bi-band limiter. 3 way switch for Flat, scooped, or foot switch setting. Old school filter (pretty much all I used). Head has a very sweet, clean and full range sound, with that trademark midrange (if required) -super refined tone IMO, and it paired very well with my MB cab. Is in excellent condition and unmarked apart from where I had some Markbass stickers on the top of the amp, which have *slightly* discoloured the black top, although this could just be glue and fade away. I've barely done that many gigs on this (probably 8-10 at most), as I reverted back to my TC head due to it having a tuner and adjustable compressor (and less bothered taking it to dodgy bars etc) so has been sat in a bag most of the time I've had it. Collection from Moreton in Marsh or happy to meet up/handover. Can post if required. Any questions, fire away! Thanks for looking!
  8. Hi all! Here we have my Markbass Pure 2x10 cab. Purchased from new from Thomann in August 2023. 8ohm 400w power handling 2x10 speakers Hi-Fi 'pure' tweeter - this is a bit snappier than the tweeter in the energy series. A scarcely believable 10.5kg in weight, which is the reason I purchased it. It's an easy one hand lift and a saviour for those of us with dodgy backs. Has that typical Markbass sound - fat, detailed with a very clear midrange. I've used this with my Little Mark IV and probably got the best live tone I've ever had from a cab. Easily loud enough for most venues up to mid-size. Selling because I'm moving over to DI through PA and a smaller (and far less fun) monitor. More or less unmarked and as new aside from some slight foot marks where my Little Mark sat on the carpet lining on top. Collection from Moreton in Marsh, or will drive a fairly sizeable distance for handover/meet up, as my feedback attests. No offers please. Any further questions, please ask! Thanks for looking! Simon
  9. Hi All, Here we have my 1995 Warwick Streamer Bolt-On. Selling as I want to move back to 4's. These were a higher end precursor to the LX series, that have the original, and much curvier body shape just like the Stage 2. It was built in May/June of 1995 in Germany. Has a French Cherry Wood body, 7-piece laminate neck of Maple and Bubinga stringers with a Wenge fingerboard replete with Bell Brass frets. Pickups are twin MEC Jazz pickups with a 2-Band MEC preamp with push/pull passive switching. Tonally it's got bags of that growl as you would expect, with a very focused/compressed tone - in short, the Warwick tone. The treble control acts to my ears more like a tone control, from piercingly hi-fi and trebly to the smoother punchier sound a la Stuart Zender. Condition is 8.5 out of 10. It's a 30 year old bass but has worn it's miles incredibly well, You'd struggle to find a Warwick of this age in equally as good condition. Only thing to report is some slight shrinkage of the maple in the neck which means the middle Bubinga stringer in the neck, near the headstock, sits about a half a MM proud - again, super common with Warwicks, all my others have had this. It's recently had £400 spent getting it road ready, with a brand new setup, brand new truss rod, fret work and new input jack. Weight is a superb 3.8kg Does not come with a case. Collection from Moreton in Marsh located on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border. Will happily drive wherever for a handover if required. My feedback attests to this! I won't post due to value and poor previous experiences in doing so. Any further questions please ask! Thanks for looking!
  10. I totally agree, but I love radical!
  11. For me, I've never owned one because they're still very much (in my mind) associated with heavier music, despite their more conventional offerings recently (and on that, the conventional offerings are really dull). This is not a comment on quality, which I'm sure is there, but more, they're just very 'meh' in terms of desirability.
  12. Stuart just bought the Zoom B6 I was selling. An absolute gent and zero fuss/prompt payment as always. Thanks Stuart! Enjoy!
  13. Petrol by Ash!
  14. These look kinda cool, but in true SBMM tradition, they're not electrically the same. These have a 2-band eq, with ceramic humbuckers, not neo, so it won't have quite the right flavour tonally.
  15. Hi all, Here we have my Zoom B6 multi-fx modeller. Owned for 12 months and is more or less 'as new' + boxed. Blurb from Zoom; "B6 Features 4 DI models: 2 tube and 2 solid state models Integrated A/B switcher for seamless instrument switching Ultimate Zoom FX processor technology with amp modeling Integrated pedal board with 9 stomp switches IR load function for speaker cabinet simulation 4.3˝ color LCD touch-screen interface Chain up to 6 effects (including amp emulation) Two variable-impedance inputs for electric and acoustic bass New Play Mode Footswitch provides instant access to different play modes Easy-to-see backlit panel with color-coded stomp effects Built-in USB audio interface (2-in / 2-out) Rhythm patterns and looper Compatible with Zoom Guitar Lab Wireless control via optional Bluetooth adapter (BTA-1) with Handy Guitar Lab for B6 app Accessibility functionality for the visually impaired with Handy Guitar Lab for B6 app" I don't have the materials to pack this securely, but will happily meet up within a fair radius for handover/collection. Located in Moreton in Marsh on the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire/Gloucestershire border. Any questions, please ask! Si
