    Glockenklang 3-band onboard preamp *SOLD*

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Satrugar

    Hi everyone,

    I decided to sell my Glockenklang 3-band preamp, 5-pots-version. Controls are volume (active/passive push-pull), balance, bass, mids, highs (acts as passive tone control in passive mode).
    It's as good as new, never used it. Everything pre-wired and ready to go.
    Bought it from a friend (who bought it new and only tested it for a day or so) to fit it into my old Streamer, but I simply don't have the heart to drill another hole in the body....

    Pricewise I'm looking for 90£ incl. shipping - SOLD.

    If you got any questions, feel free to ask. :)

    Cheers
    Janis

    Since I had some great transactions here over the last 2 years or so, I thought it may be time for my own feedback thread. :)

    So feel free to write about your experience if you bought/sold something from/to me.

    Cheers

    May I ask what happened? I remember this beauty being flawless when the guy from Spain sold it...problems with the shipping?
    Is the problem deep or is it just the surface?

    I was very tempted to buy this bass when it was for sale last time, so I'd also be interested in an answer to those questions... :)

    That SR7005 is truly stunning! I've not seen the maple wings before, so maybe what I thought was a 7005 was actually the old 5005 - I think that had mahogany wings. Either way, I agree that these 'custom made' basses from the mid-90s were probably the pinnacle of the SR range.

    Those old MIJ SR's are definitely worth a shot if you can find any.

    Yes, definitely. Those basses are really undervalued these days.
    I believe there were different versions of the 7005, so you could be right about the mahogany wings....but I don't really know as there are so few of them around. Also the main difference to the 5005 seem to be the upgraded custom bartolini pickups and electronics, while the bodys/wings came in different woods.

    Satrugar, thats a VERY nice SR, maybe the finest I've seen. I pulled back in the last second today, sat and played the 5 stringed version and could never feel well with the position the right hand "gets" on it naturally. Unbalanced in a strange way because it really shouldn't! But it is...strange design.

    Thanks, I also quite like it (although mine has a bit more wear...). :)
    Well, if you didn't feel comfortable with the premium SR then it can't really be helped.
    Although maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it....
    For example I normally play basses with 19mm stringspacing and at first it felt weird to play the SR with 16,5mm, but after a week or so I started to adapt to it and now I don't have any problems with that any more. Actually it's pretty comfortable now...

    An SR7005? The one with the walnut tone block? Those are really rare. In fact, I thought that was a custom shop model? Certainly that and the original SR5005 (not the Wenge faced ones that came out in 2009) were always the holy grail of Soundgear basses.
    [/quote]

    Exactly, walnut toneblock with maple wings and wenge/bubinga neck with wenge fingerboard.
    Custom Bartolinis and 3 band Bartolini NTCT electronics with 3x switchable mids module, i believe it's called MCT-3MC.

    It's exactly this model, those are the only pics I could find on the net:



    And you're right, those instruments seem to be extremely rare....when I bought it I was told it was a custom endorser model made for the bass player of Melanie Thornton sometime in the 90s...
    And I have to agree once more, I found the newer wenge-faced SR5005s to feel and look quite a bit....hm, "cheaper" compared to the older series.

    Anyway, I'm very happy with my SR7005. :)

    I also find the premium SRs pretty nice...
    But just as geilerbass said, I'd be on the lookout for a used Ibanez Prestige.
    They are greatly undervalued on today's used market.

    For example: A few months ago I found a extremely nice SR 7005 MP from the mid-90s for a pretty good price.
    It's a fantastic instrument, I definitely like it better than the premium instruments. :)

    FS: Warwick Star Bass II (on hold)

    Amazing instrument!
    I just came back from a 2-day factory tour at the Warwick plant and got to try pretty much every Warwick there is.
    The Starbass was one of the most impressive instruments I played there.
    Absolutely amazing tone and great playability!

    Btw: It's an Ovangkol-neck, not Wenge. Only the fretboard is made out of Wenge. :)

    GONE: 1990 Warwick Thumb NT6 Custom finish

    in Basses For Sale

    Very, very nice instrument!

    I believe the 4-string from the set was mine for quite a while, or at least one with the same finish. It was from '89 and had gold hardware instead of black.
    Unfortunately I had to sell it a few months ago.... :(
    It now resides in the UK.

    The finish on yours should be fantastic, if it's the same as mine was. I made a few pics under strong lighting to show the real nature of the finish:

    [url="http://s1133.photobucket.com/albums/m586/Satrugar/WW%20Thumb%2089/"]Pics[/url]

    The more light fell onto it, the more it changed from black to some kind of translucent blue and the better you could see the wood grain. Is it the same effect on yours?

    I can also confirm that Thumbs from that era have far less neck dive than more recent ones. I believe it's because of the way thinner neck and because they used a VERY heavy solid brass bridge back then instead of the newer one made from a much lighter alloy. Made the bass heavier overall but greatly improved balance.

    Good luck with the sale!
