Sharkfinger started following Helix HX Stomp XL - Footswitches Too Close Together , Aluminium flight case - gone , Ibanez SR640 purple sparkle - Fujigen 2001 MIJ - *SOLD* and 3 others

Originally made by Lemsford Cases n Hertfordshire. I slightly modified this one for my needs with internal compartments, including a lift up panel so that I can have long items on top. The compartments are made to measure for my pedal board and for various other items. Has Protex hardware. I tried to put edge casters on it but failed because I used rivets and apparently nuts and bolts is what you need to attach them. I’ll include them anyway. external dimensions 26 x 82 x 42 CM internal lower compartments All 15 cm high larger compartment is approximately 47 x 32 cm Smaller compartments are approximately 18 x 28 cm What is just over 5 kg in my estimation. All internal dividers can easily be removed by undoing the screws through the side. Collection only

Ibanez SR640 purple sparkle - Fujigen 2001 MIJ - *SOLD*
Sharkfinger replied to Sharkfinger's topic in Basses For Sale
clearly hadn’t been set up in quite some time, so everything was initially a bit stiff. As I mentioned, now strings have settled in, I’ve backed the truss rod and lowered the bridge saddles. everything working as it should. as for not drinking any more beer, that I cannot advise you on, as I’m a whisky drinker myself. -

High-quality made in Japan bass. pretty certain this is the SR 640 as it has the reverse P pick up and amazing purple sparkle paintwork. Only just bought this on eBay but unfortunately forgot to check the weight. Only 3.7 kg, but unfortunately that’s still too much for me. I’ve given this a thorough clean, new set of strings and a basic set up. Action is lower than it was and could probably go lower. As this is a 25-year-old bass I didn’t want to push the truss Rod too much, so stopped when I met resistance. EDIT: just to be clear, the neck is straight and truss rod works well both ways. Now neck has settled in to the new strings, I’ve backed off the truss rod to lessen the relief, lowered the saddles and got the action even lower. Plays really nicely. Currently has standard gauge Elites Player strings (45-105, I had a new set to hand). This has a few chips in the paintwork, but electrics works fine. If I were keeping it, I would probably change the tuners as I think they’ve reached the end of their life, especially the D and G ones. However, once set the bass stays in tune well. Included is a very high-quality hard case. £200 delivered or less if you collect or we meet up in Hertfordshire or Essex. would only trade with a lighter bass.

EDIT: I’m now including a very high-quality hard case. Made in Canada lots of padding inside and plush fur. Really nice Ray4. Low action and can go even lower. Really great feeling neck (satin). Currently strung with rounds. Weight is about 3.9 kg. In great condition; the only mark I can see is a small dink on the back. I’ve seen bases in shops in worse condition than this. Oddly, there are two screws missing from the control plate and no holes drilled. Must’ve come from the factory like that I was going to drill some and put screws in but never bothered as it's not the jack end. not sure how to price this, as prices seem to fluctuate but given the condition I’m gonna go for... £300 delivered or near offer less if collected and can meet somewhere in Hertfordshire or Essex

Made in Italy combo 500w into 4ohms so about 300w through the combo itself. This is my backup amp but I don’t need anything more this powerful and I could use the space and money. I’m its third owner and I’ve used it on around 20 gigs and never got the master above about 9 o’clock. Previous owner said he only gigged a few times at low volume and its first owner only used it for a few church gigs so it’s had a pretty easy life. Full specs here, although it’s the current version which may not be exactly the same. But looks identical to me. https://www.markbass.it/product/cmd-102p/ £475 delivered to the UK, but would prefer collection or meet up in or around Hertfordshire or Essex. Obviously would cost a little less if no couriers are involved.

Calling all graphite neck enthusiasts!
Sharkfinger replied to Kiwi's topic in Graphite neck - ordering
I'm guessing once the 'recipe' for the resin is finalised, every neck of a specific type will be an identical weight give or take a few grams? -
Helix HX Stomp XL - Footswitches Too Close Together
Sharkfinger replied to Sharkfinger's topic in Effects
I see what you're saying but it happens when I'm wearing trainers too. If I can easily look down, it greatly reduces the problem but I do a fair amount of BVs. -
Does anyone else have a problem with this? I frequently hit the wrong button or more that one together, especially when getting to the back row. Happens most often when I'm doing backing vocals and can't look down effectively. The only way round this I can see it to have my mic pointing so that I'm looking down when I sing, which would look weird IMO. I'm actually thinking of putting my Helix at the back of my board and putting my most frequently used (separate) pedals back on the board. Is there maybe an external footswitch that will work for it, that I can put at the front, so I can continue using to use the Helix for these effects?

Can it get the sounds the MXR can. Moog, etc?

Bought a HB bass body and neck from me. Smooth transaction, highly recommend basschatter.

Yet another positive comment, bought an MM pickup and preamp from me. Effortless transaction.

Bought a lovely vintage modified P from him. Effortless transaction, deal with confidence.
