For sale, two sets of RS66S short-scale bass strings. These are stainless steel rounds, and according to RotoSound provide a 'Bright hard hitting tone'. One set is new and in its original pack. The second set was fitted on Sunday, then removed and thoroughly cleaned (with surgical spirit) on Tuesday after less than 2 hours of use. The strings really don't suit either the bass (a Spector Shorty) or me. The used set is cut for 2 a side (as above a Spector Shorty). There's a reasonable amount of winding for each post (especially the E and A) so some flexibility. The cheapest I've seen these strings in the UK is £21 including shipping. The price for both sets listed here, including shipping within the UK, is £20. Any questions, please just let me know.

For sale, a TE Elf C110 combo in excellent condition - this really is immaculate, as is its cover. All you'd excect from the Elf range and surprisingly powerful and loud (if needed). Functioning perfectly and supplied with original TE documentation. I've ended-up with two (silly stereo experiment) so this - almost unused one - is no longer needed. I don't have the original box but can locate a carton for shipping if any prospective buyer wishes to organise a courier. No trades thanks and the price is firm (the cheapest I’ve seen these is £523). Collection would be preferable (just to the East of Manchester), though as above, courier arrangements are possible. Any questions, please just ask. Basic specs are: POWER: 130 watts @ 8 ohms, 200 watts @4 ohms (with an additional 8 ohm cabinet) FEATURES: Gain, level indicator, bass (center @ 80Hz), middle (center @ 400Hz), treble (center @ 4.2kHz), power indicator, volume, speaker/headphone selector switch, ground lift switch) SPEAKERS: 1x10” Neo 8-ohm driver DIMENSIONS: 324mm (H) x 305mm (W) x 355mm (D) CONNECTIONS: Input, headphone/line out, speaker output, balanced DI XLR (direct out) WEIGHT: 18.5 lbs

Absolutely beautiful. Martin sorted an LED problem for me both quickly and cheaply - I suspect it’s an easy fix. What’s the circuit in this and do you know the age of the bass? To digress, I spent a couple of nights in Chertsey in early autumn last year. A lovely place - I was very taken with it

This looks like a lovely example. Has the EMG logo simply worn-off the pickups? I was fortunate enough to own a transitional XL2 for a while. They sound like nothing else, in the best possible way, for me. The downside was ergonomics - a personal issue, but I simply couldn't find a way to make the bass easily/comfortably playable either sitting or standing (using the plug-in hardware seen on some transitionals). Plenty of others had no problem throughout the '80s and beyond. Rare and desirable - the first serious and successful iteration of bass guitar design IMO

One of my favourite 1x12 cabs - incredibly solid in build and tone. This looks like an incredible bargain

Two used cables - a Fender Custom Shop Tweed (S-RA) 18.5ft, and a Fender Standard Coiled (S-RA) 30ft. Both tested and fully functional. Condition is used but very good. These seem to go for £19 and £27.50 respectively without postage, so hopefully £27.50 for both shipped in the UK is reasonable. Bank transfer only please as I can't currently use Paypal

On a phone so limited, though the board looks lovely. Do you know who undertook the work?

A lovely looking bass and I can only echo Owen’s sentiments. I hope that your financial situation improves dramatically and rapidly

Fantastic cabs and for me, the HD is Bergantino's finest range, if not its lightest. I use the HD210 and it's very probably my favourite cab (and I've had a lot!)

A very nice looking bass at a very good price - a lovely destination for the proceeds of the sale too

Via Canada and all displayed perfectly - thank you

Glorious - I was able to play plenty of these in the early ‘80s and preferred them to the later customs. I still do. The neck profile was sublime (for me). Fabulous artistry and technique from Andy

Same for me

That looks to be in lovely condition - I enjoyed the track too!
