  1. And sold. On it's way to Canada!
  2. Many thanks. It's a pain in the rear!! ;O))))
  3. Thanks. The position markers are 'on the line' - F - G - A and so on.
  4. This is something I never expected to do...put my custom built (design and spec produced in conjunction with Jens) up for sale :O( After a serious back injury I find I can no longer play bass with any degree of comfort (and hauling bass gear around????). This is just simply one of the finest basses in the world. It has a beautifully carved neck, very comfy, sculpted body shape and is lightweight at 3.6 kg. The electronic design was custom made to keep the front controls simple, with a master volume and rotary pick-up pan. The eq is adjusted via the back panel. Complete spec in the pics. There is very slight string marking on the fretboard which will easily polish out...if I get a chance I'll do that but just being honest about the condition. The bass has a virtually unused Gigblade case. ** I might consider another bass (it'd be a shame not to have one in the house ;O)) or an electric/electro-acoustic guitar, in part exchange. **
  5. Yes, it's in sunny Derbyshire...

  7. Apologies, I should have made that clear in the description. The micro switches have never been installed, hence the small, wooden plugs above the tone controls. A fairly easy, and cheap job.
  8. It’s all solid wood. The body is chamfered slightly with the bridge sitting in a recess.
  9. I bought this lovely bass direct from Mark Ramsay (RMI Bass). This is a Montage 33" scale that Mark described as: "The Montage is neither a clone nor a prototype. The bass is an original, bespoke creation designed for a niche breed of player". The bass has had some modifications made, by Mark, to get everything has he wanted. If you look at the pictures you will see that there are three wooden plugs where the micro-switches were going to be added for coil tap etc - the plugs will push out should you wish to install the switches. The back of the neck had a bit of refinishing but nothing that impacts on the playing. The frets also have had some reworking/reprofiling to allow for a low action and smooth playing. A Gator semi hard case is also available. The weight is 3.6kgs. Full Spec: Specification: * 33" Scale * Translucent tobacco burst * 5-string tuned E-C * 6-way bolt-on construction with all-access heel * 24 steel nickel frets - 2.5mm x 1mm * Flat fretboard (no radius) * C-shape neck profile * Approx. 22mm neck thickness (including fret height) * 43mm nut width (8.25mm spacing) * 345mm body width, 38mm depth * Sung Il / Wilkinson (Korea) BB002 16.5mm brass bridge * Wilkinson WJB-750 open-gear light-weight tuners * Single bi-directional truss rod * Three-way wedged body construction (Vietnamese walnut / swamp ash / alder) * Split-level body with 4mm poplar birdseye top enclosing a 20mm shallow chamber * Three-way "Apex" neck scarf construction (hard maple / hard ash / nato mahogany) * Indian rosewood fretboard with pearloid Japanese inlay * Split-level headstock design with matching poplar birdseye cap * Ramsay dual-coil humbucking (split-able pickups) housed in Macassar Ebony-topped maple shells * Stock 9v, 3-band EQ preamp with adjustable boost gain dial * Volume (pull/push passive/active switch), Balance, Treble, Midrange, Bass * Aluminium control knobs with white indicator lines * D'Addario Nickel XL strings (medium gauge) + 0.032" high C * 1100mm total length
  10. Here's my EBS pedal that has not been used since I bought it a couple of months ago (Andertons). I've tested the pedal and, as you'd expect, it works perfectly and the range of tweaking options are super. So, brand new, in the box. Details: Features two channels and a useful loop. The MicroBass II can be used as an active direct box,a one or two channel preamp, instrument switcher or blender. The two channels provide sound shaping from high end solid-state types to distorted timbres, using the awarded tube emulation circuitry found in the EBS range of professional bass heads. An incorporated effects loop gives the user added flexibility for connecting to other effect pedals, or for mixing in an external audio source such as a CD player for rehearsal purposes. Unmatched Flexibility. The balanced output with speaker simulator option provides unmatched flexibility in live and studio situations. Footswitches control mute and channel operation/switching. Other features include headphone output, low battery indicator, link and master outputs, bass, ‘sweepable’ midrange, treble, bright and edge filters, drive and effects mix controls. The EBS MicroBass II delivers that big, burning EBS sound wherever you go. Specifications Nominal Input Level - 8 dBv Input Impedance 10 Mohms (Ch A), 1 Mohms (Ch B) Output Impedance 10 kohms Frequency Response +0 / -3 dB 20 - 20k Hz Tone Controls Bass +/- 15 dB @ 100 Hz Treble +/- 15 dB @ 10 kHz shelving Bright + 12 dB @ 10 kHz,15dB gain Midrange +/- 12 dB, 50 –2.000 Hz ,Q=0.80 Edge +/- 12 dB @ 7 kHz Boost Control Gain 0 – 30 dB Drive Control Gain 0 – 35 dB Dynamic Range typ 107 dB A-weighted Dimensions (L x W x H) 4.3” x 6.0” x 2.3” (110 x 153 x 58 mm) Weight 875g (1.95 lb.)

    UPS

    Like you I added a couple of centimetres on and round the weight up but it was still under 10kg. For UPS to argue it weighed 30kgs is ludicrous. I have had further excuses all based on the 'audit' by UPS staff (drunk most likely). Fortunately I took pictures of the package and with the tape measure showing the dimensions - one pic showed the bass in the case. UPS now inform me that my case, along with pics, has been forwarded to their 'investigation' team. Why they didn't just say 'Whoops, we might have made a mistake' and notified me prior to thieving £75 out of my account, I don't know. I would have used Interparcel - and Painful - but Interparcel didn't recognise the address in Spain whereas UPS did.
