  1. Bought this without reading the description, it's meant for a six string with narrower string spacing or possibly a four with a big pickup. Won't work with a 5 as it has two blades of equal length so the middle string will sit between them if that makes any sense. Anyway here's the link to EMG which should tell you all you need to know. EMG 40P All the bits are there, unopened and the pickup hasn't even been fitted to a bass. All yours for £75 posted to your door. Cheers Andrew
  2. Thanks all, saves me having to find my tape measure!
  3. Pretty sure it’s 34” I can measure it tonight.
  4. I shall be heading up north (Lancs, Cumbria, Durham and Yorks) next week if that's any use to anyone?
  5. True, it’s not a pointy headstock or a BC Rich so it’s as metal as the next bass!
  6. I've no idea what 'Taranis' means but apparently this was a bass designed for metal. Not that I used it for that and it sounded great for the more mellow stuff i've been using it for of late, very woody! EDIT Just found that Taranis is a Celtic god of thunder. The four string variant was tuned BEAD.
  7. This is really rather lovely but we just haven't clicked. It's a Warwick Corvette Taranis 5 string in Burgundy Red. The swamp ash body has a sand blasted finish exposing the grain which may or may not be to your liking! The neck is laminated from some beautiful ovangkol. It's very manageable 8.8ilbs/3.99kg. Usual Warwick build quality all round. Large pole piece MEC pickups, jazz at the neck and MM at the bridge. the bridge pickup has a series/single(neck coil)/parallel switch so combined with a pick up pan control and two band eq you get a lovely range of sounds. The Volume control has a push pull active/passive switch. A few scars on the body and one small ding on the back of the neck by the octave on the low side. There's a reasonable gig bag with it. I can't post so a meet or collect is best. I travel about a fair bit with my work so we may be able to sort out something.
  8. Price dropped to £900, fed up of bashing my shins on the flight case in the hall!
  9. I've had this a few years but barely used it. It's always lived in a flight case when not in use and is pretty much good as new. 16 mic/line inputs, loads of outputs and fx built in, more routing options than you can shake a stick at. Comes with an Apple Airport Express wifi router to give you remote operation with tablet or mobile. A big old lump so collection or meet up only please.
  10. This is my contribution. A Patrick Eggle I bought a couple of years ago in a bit of a state. Very beaten up and preamp was u/s. Fitted a Glockenklang preamp and got it up and running. then decided that I didn't like my Yamaha fretless 5 anymore so I defretted this. Stripped all the finish off apart from the headstock. I filled th fret slots with maple veneer and oil finished the back of the neck. The scruffy black finish was stripped to reveal a nice piece of ash. Sanded back to bare wood, stained into a nice teal burst and finished with gunstock oil. It plays beautifully and sounds fantastic!
  11. I bought this recently to control a few Source Audio pedals from a midi foot controller. In the end as I was using other midi devices on the board (and my amp) it was easier to just sit down and programme the controller manually with a pc. It's all there, all 5 trrs cables, psu and usb cable. I'll take £50 posted.

  12. Price dropped for the bank holiday weekend. Now £500. Five strings of glorious fretlessness for a monkey!
  13. Price dropped to £550 to shift it!
  14. My Yamaha TRB1005 fretless in natural. A very well made and finished instrument, two single coil with phantom noise cancelling coils and three band eq. Beautiful quilted maple (?) top and three piece neck. Just under 9lb 3oz in weight. 35" Scale length so the low B is very convincing! In very good condition, just a few nicks to the body and a couple of very shallow dings in the back of the neck, hardly noticeable really. It's in the East Mids so not too far from most places. I can chuck in a basic gig bag but I wouldn't be happy to post this. So a meet up or collection please.
  15. Still work in progress but then it's always work in progress.
  16. Never has the old adage "measure twice, cut once" been more appropriate. I bought this to replace the bridge on my Eggle Milan as it was a bit worn and grotty. I've put these on four strings before and it made a huge difference and improvement to the sound and feel of the bass. It did that and no mistake, however the string spacing (19mm on the Babicz) is just a gnat's too wide for the Eggle. I could almost get away with it and I played one gig with it on but just occasionally it felt like the strings were going to slip off the end of the frets. It's just as it came out of the packing with just a few finger marks and a bit of dust. Good as new. Two sets of mounting screws included, one set never used. https://www.fullcontacthardware.com/fch-5-string-bass-bridge if you're not familiar with them. Ah well, my gain your loss? I'll take £90 for it, posted to you.
