I have my eye on something special so need to raise some funds. Up for grabs is my USA (1995). G&L SB2, in Black/RW. Basically a PJ on steroids, a bass I never thought I would sell.... but needs must. 34” scale Rosewood fretboard Jazz type neck (nice and slim/narrow) Detuner on the E (and original tuner included) Built in 1995 I believe In remarkable condition for it’s age Around de 4.3kg mark Only small marks, given it’s YOB in remarkable condition It has a VVT mod but also comes with original wiring loom Shipping in Europe with neck detached included. Pics are horrible, apologies. Happy to send new ones in daylight... if you are in to PJ, this is a must have. No trades please, need to raise cash. Harry

EDIT : No longer for sale. OK this amp was made in Korea and has been extensively rebuilt by our very own @basstone who I am sure will be happy to bring anyone up to speed on the improvements he has made. ith a heavy heart I have accepted that as I get older and weaker this amp remains the same weight. So here's your opportunity to own what my tech describes as The Ferrari Of Bass Amps. I mention my tech because he just completed a thorough service including replacing a set of three power valves. I have paperwork detailing all his hard work. So why sell when I just spent well north of 200 quid getting her in shape? Like I said, old age and a bad back. Also I figure this is as saleable as it can be right now. Nothing sounds close to this amp. Nothing. It isn't even a sound as such it's more of an experience. My singer summed it up best by saying it was like hot bass sauce had be squeezed over and throughout the room. Never too loud, always everywhere. I can't believe I'm selling it really, but at least I can say I owned one. Couple of scuffs to the tolex which I've pictured but it's what is inside that matters. Price includes me driving to meet you. Won't say I'll drive anywhere but I'm up for going a fair old way.

Traded locally, thank you.

Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this wonderful Jazz Bass like ERB 8 strings bass because I really don't play fretted basses. As you probably know, I also own a Noguera Yves Carbonne Signature 8 Fretless that has become my main bass being a fretless player. Trinity (as it was named by Christian NOGUERA) deserves to be played, and even if each time I play it, it sounds terrific even dead flat and passive, I always get back to the fretless as it's my sound. This bass is unique and has been totally hand crafted with the best woods Christian had in stock at the time (as you certainly noticed it ). All these woods were in his stock since more than 20 years explaining the even sound and the fact that this instrument seems to be insensible to the changes in weather. It stays in tune for months. This bass was designed for Bruno Ramos who is professional player, a teacher and a journalist for the Bassiste Magazine (THE French magazine). This Noguera is perfectly balanced and really easy to play as every detail has been perfectly thought. Don't be afraid by the number of strings, it's so easy to play that you won't notice that you are playing such an ergonomical and balanced ERB. You'll be amazed, guaranteed ! The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has a new battery and has been fitted with a brand-new set of Kalium BH-190-8BS hybrid nickel round wound strings, except for the F that is plain (19P - 31 - 43 - 59 - 79 -106 -142 - 192). This marvellous Noguera will also come with a brand new spare Kalium BH-174-8BL set (18P - 28 - 39 - 55 - 73 -98 -130 - 174), a used Kalium BH-174-8BL set, a brand new Newtone Diamond taper type round core nickel plated steel all round wound set (20 - 28 - 44 - 64 - 84 -104 -128 - 174) and a mounted once for one hour exact same Newtone set. So you'll have 4 spare sets : 2 new, 1 hardly used and 1 used (that was fitted on Trinity before I put the new set on it). Link to the new Noguera website : https://www.noguera-basses.com/ A video with Bruno Ramos playing his bass : Another video were Bruno Ramos used it at the end of the tune : What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real almost new condition : some hardly noticeable very few marks and very small knock over the neck pickup (at around 2 cm away). The bass is photographed with the special Loxx Strap Locks, but will be fitted back with the original black strap buttons (as on photos 12 to 15 which were made by Christian NOGUERA). Don't hesitate to ask for more.

Not surprised that this Green-bad-boy didn't hang around for more than an instant. Stacks up against the very best of the 112 cabs out there and then some!
