  1. Past hour
  2. FS or FT a Yamaha BB735A 5-string bass in 'Fired Red'. I picked this up here a while back for a particular gig/project, but that's now taken a bit of a back seat and I find myself more in need of a 'traditional' Jazz bass, so this is up for sale or trade. It's in good condition - it was sold to me as being practically brand new, but when it arrived there were some swirl marks in the finish from use and the usual playing wear on the pickguard, but other than that I think it's still in pretty good nick. Still has the plastic on the electronics cover. As is hopefully evident from the pics, it's a lovely deep red trans finish, still showing some of the wood grain on the body. It's not fancy quilted grain or whatever, but still looks nice IMHO! It's currently fitted with flats but I was intending to put the original D'Addario rounds on unless the buyer is particularly desperate for the flats. Dunno what brand they are - I have a vague recollection they could be LaBellas, or possibly Dunlops from the silks. The D'Addarios would their usual Nickels I think. Bass plays nicely as both passive and active; I tended to use passive unless I really needed something a bit more aggressive. It has covered a full function band set with breaking a sweat - from motown to slap/disco and everything in between, so it's very versatile and IMO runs the right side of the 'trad/modern' bass debate so fits in well with lots of gigs. Happy to consider trades; I'd be after a 5-string fretted Jazz or similar; happy to consider cash adjustments either way (within reason - I'm not really looking for a £2k+ boutique bass). I might also consider PX (with adjustment!) with a Barefaced Three10, Two12, LFSys lightweight cab etc. Not really after much else though ATM. I'd prefer collection in person to make sure you're happy with the bass. I'm in Bath.

  3. so....i've arranged to return the Z7 to thomann, as i've said above once setup it was a great playing/feeling/sounding bass but it's just boat anchor heavy & the neck drive/unconfutable to play sitting was the straw... id be interested in checking out one of the MS headless sires, anyone get/tired one ?
  4. Thank you. Pretty much what I had surmised given that I've heard people comparing them to Alembic F1X from the sonic standpoint, and F1X sounds nothing like a typical TE from their heyday. Keep opinions and experiences coming, pretty please...🙃
  5. Two sets of used TI flats. In nice condition and still with plenty of gigs left in them! Price includes UK postage. £28 for each set.
  6. Gibson 50th T-bird.
  7. maybe the folks of Greenland can take up the slack !
  8. Can you now edit the first post and add the word Sold to the title, which will close the post
  9. now sold
  10. When I did magic it was either 100% or Free. Never a discount. Discounts damage the value of your product. So that automatically separated out the charities I wanted to support and those I didn't. That makes the list of ones I would take nice and small and me performing would be not a lot different to making a monetary donation. That being said on a few occasions I was asked a few massive companies for free shows and clearly those companies were just doing it for the advertising for them and not the charity. That included Tesco and Pizza Hut. Tesco tried to change my mind by offering me a sandwich Meal Deal and some free coffee. Pizza hut didn't even offer me a pizza! dickheads.
  11. Cheers. I said that to the wife. She fnured.... 😁
  12. That’s it! In my early gigging days I used it for scratchy pots, but I was never sure it didn’t do more harm than good…
  13. Probably wont do all ten, but they know i dont know everything note for note and they're cool with that.
  14. Cheers. Fingers crossed 🤞
  15. Cheers
  16. Great, but's very much the impression I got from some of the posts in this thread. I suppose another advantage of doing originals charity gigs is that they are nearly always at established venues with in-house PA and lighting rigs so all the bands need to do is to turn up and play.
  17. Four pedals up for grabs after the purchase of a Darkglass Anagram. Will take individual images later and edit to suit. Will be sad to see them all go but enjoying and unable to return my Anagram and determined to make it work... All pedals conveniently pre-velcro'd 😉 All prices plus £5 shipping or happy to drop off locally Tonehammer DI Mk1 - £160 Fantastic preamp/DI that can do tubey amp sim style stuff or clean and uncoloured. Good Condition - no box or PSU and screw for battery compartment missing but neatly taped up. Line6 HX ONE - £160 Excellent swiss army knife pedal with sounds taken directly from the Helix (has a fantastic noble model). Incredibly well thought out control set with really handy flux FS. Like new condition with box and PSU etc Jam Bass Rattler MK2 - £160 Rat clone for bass with excellent clean blend and second gain boost F/S. My favourite analogue drive pedal, covers everything from low gain dirt and saturation to fuzzy madness Like new condition with box and box candy Source Audio Ultrawave Bass - £130 Fantastic digital utility and sdistortion swiss army knife - billed by SA as a mad distortion machine but it's so much more! Fantastic studio level compressor, Graphic and parametric EQ, dual channels, every flavour of drive/distortion available as well as radge tremelo stuff which I never used. My favourite digital standalone pedal, I used it for a lovely tube drive aswell as a radge gated fuzz and slight low mid boost all on seperate presets accessible via toggle switch or opens up massively with a £30 M-Vave chocolate+ controller. Like new condition with box and PSU etc Pedaltrain Nano Max - £50 Single row pedaltrain which can handle 7-8 pedals. Lightweight and excellent quality. Excellent condition with high quality gig bag and strategically placed cable tie holders underneith.
  18. I can honestly say that despite being in a 'covers' band I've never done a charity related gig where that has been the case.
  19. Hello all! Selling my EBS Microbass 3. Never gigged and only ever kept at home with some incidental use. Bought new last year so still has all original packaging and contents. Still in full working order! Asking Price: £200 Collection from NW London preferred but happy to ship at additional cost. DM if you have any questions!
  20. Hello! Selling the Sadowsky Onboard Preamp I had fitted to my Fender Jazz Bass. Price: £85. No technical faults with it. Only replaced as I wanted to try something different. The preamp doesn’t come with the 9v battery fitting or input jack as the luthier that fitted my new pre amp carried these over. Hence the reduced cost despite being otherwise in as new condition. Collection from NW London preferred. Courier can be organised for additional cost. Original box included however if it’s being shipped, I can ship in the replacement preamp box as it has better protective padding (pictured). DM with any questions!
  21. Not sure at that pitch you would hear the difference!
  22. TC Electronic RH450 class D amp head. 450w with FX loop, built in Spectracomp compressor & tubetone adjustable tube amp drive, 4 band EQ & 3 programmable EQ presets. Comes with a padded TC Electronic amp bag - absolutely fantastic amp, very loud (450w RMS, 800w peak) Bulletproof outer casing, carry handle, DI - anything you could need from an amp as a gigging bassist tbf The only issue is the same issue everyone has with these - the knobs have fallen off the stalks. Still all works as it should, and you can turn the stalks just as easily as the knobs, and as its digital display you can always see where it is turned to - been like this since I bought the amp and it’s never bothered me so I didn’t replace them. The missing knobs factored into the price, other than that it’s an amazing amp (especially for the money) that’ll do almost all but the biggest gigs. £140 collected from DH2 Co Durham or £150 posted
  23. I cut my time on those platforms and focused on one place that felt manageable. Posting less but with clearer updates actually got me more replies and stopped the burnout.
  24. This is becoming a habit! Happy new year to a trusted Basschatter…
  25. Another peerless transaction with a leading Basschatter! Thanks Gary. Always a pleasure.
