  1. Pictures to come later but up for sale is my superb Staccato '51 amp plus RC4 footswitch, cables, manual and TC gig bag. All in Great condition. Some details below. Asking for[b] £SOLD[/b] inc shipping to mainland UK. I have reduced the price to reflect the fact that the mute button has a hairline crack. I have dropped a little Superglue onto the button and all works perfectly well. The buttons cost £1 so I'm informed and are fairly straightforward to replace. Everything else is superb!

Based upon TC's best-selling RH450 head, the Staccato 51, and as such has all the unique features of the 450 such as Tubetone Technology, Spectra Comp per-string compression and integrated fast-tracking chromatic tuner. The Staccato however is voiced for Rocco's unique "Finger Style Funk" playing with accentuated highs and lows and fast, accurate response.[/size][/font][/color] [b] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Here's what TC Electronic say about the Staccato 51[/font][/color][/b] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]The bass world's response to our introduction of award winning RH450 and Classic450 has been overwhelming. Now, with the help of a true world-class bass legend, we introduce our third amp to deliver instant world-class bass tone - we are proud to present our cooperation with, Tower Of Power's Rocco Prestia on Staccato'51[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]Think of legendary bass players and Francis Rocco Prestia features on every list. For over 40 years now Rocco's bass has been underpinning the groove for Californian funk legends Tower of Power. In that time Rocco has defined his own style and become synonymous with the much-imitated 'Finger Style Funk' that he pioneered back in the '60s and '70s.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]Now TC and Rocco have joined forces to make Staccato'51 - a custom-tuned version of the RH450 that's been made to Rocco's exact specification and ear. It may look like the RH450 bass head, but the sound design is completely different and meets the demands of a legend like Rocco Prestia - both on stage and in the studio.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]Rocco's sound design on Staccato'51 fits his legendary finger-muting technique like a glove. The full-bodied tone with plenty of highs and lows as well as the ultra fast precision response enhances the percussive elements of Rocco's playing to perfection.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]In addition to the sheer tone shaping, Rocco has added a touch of our SpectraComp per-string compression to tighten the sound even more. And finally a touch of TubeTone brings out the growl of Staccato'51 when really digging into those low-end notes with his powerful right hand technique.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1]To achieve perfect tone, Rocco pairs his Staccato'51 with a stack of our RS cabinets - An RS410 and two RS212s - giving him both punch and enough low end to stand out on stage with the 10-piece Tower of Power band.[/size][/font][/color]
  2. Completed a successful trade of basses with Graham. A bass gent and pleasure to deal with. Thanks.
  3. Excellent bass trade with Peter. A great guy and a thoroughly nice bloke. Cheers.
  4. Looking to sell my POD HD300. An amazing piece of kit but it never leaves the house and isn't really getting mush use so... It is in great condition and comes with the power supply and shipped in its original box. [size=4][color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Line 6 POD HD300 and HD400 come with a multi EU power supply so no matter where you are in the UK or Europe this comes with the power supply you need![/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]The new POD HD300 is the latest in a long line of innovations in modeling technology from Line 6. The POD HD300 boasts that it is the closest yet in terms of tonal authenticity to the amps and effects it is modeling. For the modern guitarist - flexibility of tone is important, and the POD HD300 is now as close as it has ever been to the perfect compromise between having all the tones you need, and unloading a van full of amps and pedals every time you gig![/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Versatility Is Key[/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]From high gain metal machines to clean sounds that could satisfy country players the HD300 can be used in nearly any situation. The HD300 works just as good in the studio as it does live on stage.[/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Plug it in to your amplifier to use it as a pedal board with overdrive, reverb, delay, compression and more available at your feet. You can also plug it directly into your audio interface or mixer and this pedal board suddenly becomes your amp as well.

They feel, behave, and interact with previously unachievable realism.[/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Creating these new HD amp models was no small feat. We mixed 15 years of amp modeling experience with 3 years of new research and development to build an entirely new amp modeling technology from the ground up. During that time, we hunted down 16 incredible amplifiers and - with the help of LA's top tube amp experts - restored each one back to peak condition. The new modeling technology uses 10-times more amplifier information than before, including single-ended class A tube stages, class AB push/pull interactions, power supply behavior, and more. The result is unprecedented, warmth, feel, sustain, and articulation for you to fall in love with.[/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=open_sans, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Tube amp fanatics have long enthused that their favorite stacks and combos aren't merely "amps," but instruments themselves, with playability equal to that of the guitar plugged into them.

  5. Overwater Perception 5 with a beautiful figured maple top, matching headstock on a lightweight swamp ash body! The top nut is 46mm, adjustable string spacing currently at 18mm, shallow neck profile and is a 35" scale. The B is so well defined, one of the best I've ever heard! Overwater active electronics, which gives you so much tonal variation without ever resorting to harshness or boominess! Very musical eq.

Overwater active electronics, which gives you so much tonal variation without ever resorting to harshness or boominess! Very musical eq. The OW comes with a new Hiscox hard case. The bass has never been gigged and was originally bought by me from Overwater about three and a half years ago. There are a couple of slight blemishes on the rear of the body near the jack socket, which I can only imagine came from sitting on a stand and there are two slight lacquer marks on the front above the pick-ups (see picture). I haven't a clue how this happened and it does not actually break through the lacquer and, obviously does not affect the playability A superb instrument but having not been gigged by me I am a little concerned the bass might be slightly agoraphobic so, please help... Prefer a straight sale for a bass but will consider trades for a quality 4 or 5 string. Looking for [b]£1395[/b] plus shipping.
  7. [size=4]I'm just considering whether to part with this amazing instrument. It is a virtually mint 10 string Chapman Stick. It is the ultra rare XG graphite Stick with [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]PASV-4 passive Vilex quad pickup module [/color][/font][/size]
  8. Another super transaction with Carlos. As always, great communication and a high quality bass. Muchas grascias, Carlos!
  9. Paul bought my Warwick Thumb. Excellent communication and a great guy to deal with. Highly recommended.
  10. [color=#141414][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I withdrew this beautiful bass a while back but now considering letting it go to a home where it will get more use than staying with me.

  11. [color=#444444]The Mesa Engineering Subway D-800 bass amplifier head is a high-powered, lightweight option for bass players who need quality tone that's easy to transport. The power section offers 800 watts to push any cabinet you choose, and the Class D design keeps the weight down to only 5.5 lbs. With its active 4-band EQ, voicing control, and deep switch, the D-800 more than makes up for its diminutive size with huge tone-shaping possibilities. Getting to the gig with great tone has never been easier than with the Subway D-800.[/color] [color=#444444]Easy to transport and protect[/color] Sweetwater bassists know how difficult it can be to lug a full bass rig to the show. At only 5.5 lbs., the Mesa Subway D-800 takes the problems of bulky and heavy bass amplifier rigs out of the equation, allowing you to focus on your performance and tone. The Subway D-800 is built small enough to fit in the pocket of some bass guitar gig bags. And it comes with its very own gig bag, giving you protection that's custom built for the Subway D-800. This ultra-lightweight bass amplifier is the gigging bassist's best friend. [color=#444444][size=4]Plenty of juice for any rig or gig[/size][/color] The power section of the Mesa Subway D-800 bass amplifier can push 800 watts, ensuring you have enough juice for any gig out there.

And all of that horsepower comes in the form of an exceptionally lightweight Class D power section. [color=#444444][size=4]Total tonal control[/size][/color] Mesa Engineering has a long legacy of iconic bass amplifiers.

The 4-band EQ is complemented by the D-800's variable voicing control, letting you preset your EQ curve anywhere from flat to a vintage-scoop. And you have plenty of setup options with a pre/post EQ and mic/line level on the balanced XLR output. The Subway D-800 makes dialing in your bass tone quick and easy.

  12. Quite unexpectedly, a bass has become available here on Basschat that I've desired for ever! So, for a couple of days - or until the other bass is sold - the Thumb is available for a Cash price of £1200. No offers please as this is a bargain for a superb instrument.
  13. Reduced to £100 plus shipping. This great unit needs to be used so a cheap price for such a quality bit of kit
  14. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1456928116' post='2993632'] My comments were based on experience and not watching a video (the Thumb I bought off you years ago, as it happens!) Out of curiosity then, what work was required to get the stuck old rod removed? [/quote] Cheers, Kev. I've heard of too many horror stories of people attacking a truss rod simply because they've seen or been told it should be a piece of cake and then wondered why they were having so much hassle. In this instance a trip to a luthier was well worth the effort and saved me a lot of sweat with a lump hammer
  15. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1456859917' post='2993004'] Just a quick bit of general info, these basses have removable truss rods. No tech needed, simply remove the cover, loosen the rod all he way and pull right out. To replace simply grease up and slide the new one in. Easy peasy, not as menacing as most truss rod repairs/replacements! [/quote] In an ideal world, and after watching a Warwick video on truss rod removal, yes, all a doddle. However, this truss rod was well and truly 'stuck'. A very common occurrence which requires skilled, Techie help! Totally foolhardy to try and remove a stubborn truss rod yourself. No amount of video tuition can replace years of experience built up by a skilled luthier. Anyway, at an approximate 4.7kg according to my luggage scales, here are some more pics...
  16. Trades would include Chapman Stick, Skjold basses or Rick Turner bass...
  17. Super bit of kit that just isn't getting used. Great condition (couple of light scratches on the underside), comes with Boss power supply and will be packed securely.

  18. [size=4]‘[i]Esoteric[/i]’ is an apt name for this delightful bass amp from ATS (Advanced Telecommunications Systems) which may be of interest to only a small number of people, but many of you will appreciate the classy design of the amp and certianly appreciate its character when you hear it! Built by Enrico and Maurizio Santagati and their family in Italy, this piece of audio wizardry has a lot going on inside the diminutive chassis. Firstly, let me introduce you properly. [font=Avenir-Light]The amp’s size is small, I mean small at 23.5cm wide, 24cm deep and just 9cm high and weighs in at a mere 2kg. It’s metal body is reassuringly solid with two convenient grab handles at the front, which also serve to protect the controls from accidental knocks or inadvertant tweaks! [/font] [font=Avenir-Light]The front face, with its black and pale grey livery, forms the background for two input channels. The top channel - labelled Input 2 - is a straiightforward three control affair of [i]Gain, Level and Frequency.[/i] Basically, this channel is your no frills, flat EQ with a very subtle tonal shade provided by the Freq control. Although you can use this input alongside the main input and have two instruments - or instrument and voice, playing at once, it is most useful for those times you have two basses on the go (fretted and fretless?) making any changes quick and seamless. Here is the offical description of this channel:[/font][font=Arial][i] '[/i][/font][font=Avenir-BookOblique][i]Channel # 2 of the LBA-5 MKIII is a ultra-linear channel and is a true reference channel, perfectly linear in frequency response and phase.'[/i][/font] [font=Avenir-Light]The main input has the advantage of keeping you twiddling and tweaking into the small hours - almost the most fun you can have when wearing just your dressign gown! Along with the Gain control, you have a [i]Contour[/i], [i]Bass[/i] and [i]Treble[/i] control. Firstly, a word of caution, these controls are very sensitive and the slightest of tweaks makes a huge difference - you have been warned! The [i]Bass[/i] and [i]Treble[/i] controls are self explanatory but each offer the most amazing amount of range I have ever found on an amp. The [i]Contour[/i] control is the magic button here and I would suggest leaving it set flat (centre) while you get the EQ set as you prefer. When turned clockwise, the [/font][i]Contour [/i][font=Avenir-Light]control[/font][font=Avenir-Light] [/font][font=Avenir-Light]intensifies the lows and highs while cutting the mids (yes, the ’[/font][i]smiley’ [/i][font=Avenir-Light]face[/font][i]) [/i][font=Avenir-Light]but this is a very musical sounding control and allows you to achieve some lovely jazz/fusion tones and[/font][i], yes, [/i][font=Avenir-Light]it does make you want to slap too! Counter-clockwise, the mids are enhanced while slightly reducing the lows and highs. Some might say it’s a [/font][i]Precision[/i][font=Avenir-Light] to [/font][i]Jazz[/i][font=Avenir-Light] control but it’s far more than that and, again, slight movement makes a big difference - handle with care.[/font] [font=Avenir-Light]Finally, on the right you have a master volume, a limiter light and a vibrant blue light to indicate that you have power via the small on/off switch. There is also a [i]Phones[/i] socket for those late night meanderings. [/font] [font=Avenir-Light]On the reverse of the amp you have the mains socket and amp holder, the fan - which is extremely quiet - Speakon socket, DI and level control, Ground lift switch, Tuner input and effects send/return. Underneath the amp you have four sturdy, removal feet should you wish to use the available rack kit.[/font] [font=Avenir]Sounds[/font] [font=Avenir-Light]Using a bass, with a flat EQ, and the new ATS S112 cab, Input 2 produced a neutral sound that left virtually everything to your bass guitar EQ settings. A great idea if you simply love the sound of your bass (although you may never have really heard it before given some of the colouration provided by many amp manufacturers) or a really useful input for electro-acoustic instruments.[/font] [font=Avenir-Light]The main Input is where the fun begins and never ends. As previously mentioned, slight adjustments make big differences and it will take you a good while of tweaking to find that sound you can hear in your head. But, and this is where this amp excels, the sound that you have always wanted but never quite found is in there, it’s just going to take you some twists and turns, dead ends and various rouites to find it. This is by no means a detrimental comment but, let’s face it, if you could nail that sound immediately with any amp you’d have done it by now! Think of this as one of those computer games that requires you to go through several levels of learning and adventure before you reach the goal!![/font] [font=Avenir-Light]Once the EQ is to your preferred sound then play with the [/font][i]Contour[/i][font=Avenir-Light] control and you’ll be amazed at what a vast range of tonal variation there is at hand. In fact, this amp could get away with just a [/font][i]Contour[/i][font=Avenir-Light] and [/font][i]Volume[/i][font=Avenir-Light] control - providing you can get the EQ on your bass and/or effects as you want them. Although, to be honest, you can throw away all those tweaky effect units and EQ boxes and simply enjoy the range of control provided by the amp. Keep it simple, it works![/font] [font=Avenir-Light]Overall, the range of sounds can go from your reggae, dub thump through to your blues, jazz and, dare I say it, metallic crunch! At this point, I should say that the variable tweeter on the cab is amazing and never brittle or glassy.[/font] [font=Avenir]Reliability[/font] [font=Avenir-Light]Apart from being built to a very high standard and feeling extremely robust, the amp has no flimsy controls or switches that are too apparent on amps these days. Everything feels solid and capable of withstanding years of musical endurance. [/font] [font=Avenir]Overall[/font] [font=Avenir-Light]The old adage of “[/font][i]You get what you pay for”[/i] [font=Avenir-Light]firmly applies here. The LBA-5 is in a similar price bracket to quite a few other, top quality manufacturers. The difference here is the attention to detail, everything being built by a small company who care passionately about their products and who have gone way beyond the basics to provide an amp that is not only built to last but built to entertain - both your ears and those of the general public who have become indifferent to the booming wooliness or raucous glassiness of far too many bass amps. [/font] [font=Avenir-Light]The ATS LBA-5 (give it a pet name, it’s easier to remember) is a top quality, top notch product. It has been developed not only by a technical genius but by people who care about how you and the audience hear music. Highly recommended. [/font][/size]
