  1. Lightly used 51 P back pickup, made by Retrovibe. Installed for a few hours then removed. Nice tone but I'm not into the single coil thing, put in a humbucker instead. Wires not cut or soldered, as I have a Kiogon wiring loom. I bought this because I could see that it's a drop-in replacement for the strat pickup that's in the Squier Bronco bass. I used the screws that were in the bronco, which self-tapped into the base-board for a nice snug fit. I will include the screws that came with it, so it will still go into a 'traditional' P Bass: the screws holes are still small enough for the original screws to be effective. Note: the provide screws are to mount to the bass body, not the pickguard like they do for the Bronco. £20 delivered in the UK
  2. Bought these to try out on my short scale. Liked them but needed slightly heavier gauge to have more tension on my shorty. These are medium scale but previous owner had cut the E and A string for a long scale before realising he’d bought the wrong scale string. I did not cut the ends of the others as was just trying them out on a short scale as I said, so the E string shiny bit went round the post slightly. This would probably be after the nut anyway. Only a couple hours use. £12.50 to your door.
  3. FYI, this is the bass they were on Fernandes FRB-60 Revolver Bass - Sound Demo - YouTube
  4. Therese came on a bass I bought beginning of last year. I took them off pretty much straight away, but as I recall they were pretty fresh sounding so probably put on new. know nothing about them but look to be (and sounded like) nickel plated steel, 045-105. cut for long scale 2 over 2 under headstock bass, a-la Ibanez kinda thing £5.50 posted sounds fair to me
  5. M7200 044-106 Really nice sounding strings, have about 20 hours of play time on them, so nicely broken in. Wiped down after each gig. Sit halfway between rounds and flats, both in feel and tone. Silks scrappy from having been “moved” a couple of times, so £12.50 delivered
  6. RS77LD 045-105 Very light usage but have been “moved” a couple of times so silks a little scrappy. Edit: OK, make that a lot scrappy Cut for a long-scale, 4 in line tuners. £12.50 posted
  7. Bought my Schaller tuners. Smooth as you like, thanks mate.
  8. Came across this picture and was reminded about @Jabba_the_gut 's for sale post for the above pickup. This is how I wired it up to the blend pot of a @KiOgon wiring loom (after much trial and error) thought it might help someone else, especially the person who bought this particular one.
  9. This came in the Bronco bass I recently bought off here. Sounds good and dirty but not what I want at this point in my life FYI, when the tone was turned right down, to my ears it reduced the volume a bit too. YMMV. It looks to be like this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372839780825 £10 posted.
  10. Bought this lovely bridge off of @koval123 nearly a year ago for the fateful "project that never happened". Has sat in a drawer since. "Bridge is equipped with a Drop-pitch lever, allowing for on-the-fly pitch change to the low E string. The fine tuner knob for the low E sets the range of the pitch drop when the lever is engaged. The other knobs on the A, D, G just allow fine tuning of those strings from the bridge end. The D-tuner lever also has a friction adjustment screw to set the "feel" of the lever. The drop lever fine-tuner can be set to any pitch lower than E standard down to a low B. " Paid £55 delivered for it, so I'd like that for it. Haven't weighed it but it is not a lightweight bridge, must be a couple hundred grams and those screws don't look 'fender standard'. Haven't tried installing it myself, so can't offer too much practical advice.
  11. "All sealed tuners are lubricated with Schaller special grease for lifetime maintenance-free service." I would say not. However, they do 2 left 2 right version, so look out for that. M4 90 (Light) | Machine Heads | Schaller Webshop
  12. Incredibly light bass tuners, even lighter that Hipshot USA Ultralites. These are 52g each and made in Germany. They are for a 14mm route. They are in a used but good condition, just a couple of marks to the nuts. Come in the original box and includes the screws. More info here: https://schaller.info/en/machine-heads/292/m4-90-light?number=10540401.22.70 £35 posted.
  13. They are the medium scale strings but the E and A string have been cut for a "4 in a row" long scale bass before the original owner realised his mistake. I put them on my short scale to try and liked them but they felt a little too light for me so have just traded up to the medium gauge. As you can see from the pics, I did not cut any of the strings any further, so they would be suitable for a medium or short scale bass, either "4 in a row" or "2 per side". They have only had a couple hours use. £25 posted.
  14. Bought lightly used D'Addario Chromes. Excellent strings and exactly as described. Highly recommended.

  16. Well, If the SVT 8x10 is free I'll have that too! Never mind, they probably cost more to post than they're worth these days anyway. PM on it's way and thanks
  17. That’s because it’s a super compressor, and a decent price for a pre-built one.
  18. Bought my P/J body. Absolute pleasure to do business with, totally recommended. 👍
  19. Squier Affinity PJ body made of alder I think. A few minor dinks and weak but nothing obvious. Original pickguard and bridge Copper shielding in pickup routes Seymour Duncan SPB-1 Pickup at neck Dimarzio UltraJazz (Split coil) at bridge. Currently wired in series for high output, but you could put a toggle on the scratchplate for parallel. Kiogon wiring loom, with selector, vol, vol, tone. Strap locks BBoT bridge Weight TBA Price is a firm £165 delivered. If you're local (to East Herts), you are welcome to collect in a socially distanced way.
  20. Damn, that is a fine looking instrument and very lightweight!
  21. Bought his Squier Bronco. Start to finish, a great experience. He's a credit to BC.
  22. Took a bit of figuring out to get it into a blend circuit but I could have a look for the photo if anyone needs it. Had a look for the review video for the V80 bass with this pickup in it but looks like it's gone. Blended 60/40 in favour of the delano stlyle was my favourite setting. Has a unique and very special tone.
