The cull continues and this sadly must go - last in first out. It’s a Gordon Smith Gypsy II hand made in Manchester in 1982. It’s a lovely bass and weighs bang on 4.1kgs. Fixed neck, Schaller hardware and the amazing round pickups that can be adjusted for height and angle of pole pieces in each string! It sounds great, like a Precision but slightly beefier, the P Bass Gibson ought to have made! It’s all original in tobacco sunburst finish. It’s been used therefore there are dings on the body and neck but remains in good condition for the year. It’s a very rare bass - but I recognise it’s a brand more known for their guitars than basses. That said it is a wonderful instrument, high quality build from a great British maker. It sports new Roto nickel wounds and comes with gigbag. Sorry I don’t want any trades and it’s UK only. I can post but at buyer’s cost. Any questions please ask.

I'm very reluctantly selling my Wayne Jones Audio Valve Pre-amp and Powered 1x10 cab, both in excellent condition. The pre-amp is amazing. Based on an Avalon 737 pre-amp, Wayne Jones tweaked the designed and frequencies to best suit bass guitars and as a result, he has created an unbelievably wonderful sounding DI. I used this head at a recording session with the wonderful Martin Levan, who is Andrew Lloyd Webber's sound engineer as well as producer of John Martyn's Grace and Danger and Iron Maiden's first album. He knows good bass tone. The man has golden ears and declared this pre-amp as 'very, very nice'. Shame my playing was average. Nonetheless, this is an amazing pre-amp. Warm, studio-quality sound for on-the-road applications. Each frequency point in the EQ corresponds to each string on a 6-string bass. Long story short, it's very responsive, articulate and outright outstanding. A sound engineer's dream, a producer's secret weapon. Secondly, to accompany the wonderful pre-amp, I have the matching powered 1x10 Wayne Jones cab. This cab has been lightly used, and is very reasonable to cart about. It's a 500 watt power section shoehorned into a diminutive 1x10 cab. It weighs about 18KG, has useful carrying handles, and is loud as tits. It can also be used to power an extension cab of your choosing, or blow the wigs off the front row on its own. It's a very, very good cab, built to exacting specifications with a 'money-no-object' attitude. It's great. I've heard rumours that these cabs make great studio monitors due to their clarity, design and general brilliance. It is matched perfectly to the pre-amp, and as such I'd be very much looking to sell them together. They will come with the relevant power supplies, muting foot switch and all necessary cables. I'm selling them as I am now in a 'rawk band', and will now spend the next year or so being carted about in the back of a big, smelly and slightly urine soaked van. I don't want to take these wonderful pieces of equipment on the road in these conditions. If our conditions ever improve, I'll likely buy a bigger Wayne Jones system. Until then, here they are up for grabs. £850 for both. Or £450 for the pre-amp, £450 for the cab. This rig brand new would be in the region of £1700, and that's before you ship it from Australia to UK, pay Boris the rest of your life savings in tax, wait years for it to arrive and grow so old you can't actually play anymore. Therefore, this is the next best option. Cash is king, as I'm going to be very poor soon. Any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a message.

NOW SOLD 2012 Paul Reed Smith DGT (David Grissom Tremolo) Standard. This is a pretty rare PRS model, and although it wasn’t technically a limited edition, it was only made in 2012 making them quite hard to come by. I feel a little bit silly putting this up for sale just a month after buying it, but having recently acquired a maple 10-top version which a slightly better fit for my particular needs, it seems even sillier to have this much money tied up in the guitar that would always be second choice. This is, however, an incredible guitar. The best feature is undoubtedly the pickups - David Grissom and Paul Reed Smith spent a year and 40 prototypes refining them into probably the best humbucker pickups I’ve ever heard. The sweet spot for me is rolled back to 7, and they are very responsive to volume tweaks and pick attack. PRS has a fantastic partial-coil-split system that maintains body with single coil sounds, giving good approximations of Strat tones in the neck pickup and Tele tones in bridge and middle positions. The only mod I have had done to this guitar is swapping the push-pull coil split pot on the tone knob to a push-push pot. This means you just have to tap on the knob to toggle between split and humbucking modes, which helps in the heat of gig battle when the knobs can be a bit slippery. The original pot is still in the hardcase, and I am happy to have the mod reversed for a committed buyer. Woodwise, the body and neck are both mahogany, and the rosewood fingerboard houses moon inlays and the jumbo frets favoured by David Grissom (they are a crucial part of what makes this guitar so incredible to play). The finish PRS used on their 2012 models was their V12 formula, and this is the only DGT Standard in Vintage White finish in the UK. The Phase III locking tuners and PRS trem bridge keep truly excellent tuning stability - after the strings settled, I literally didn’t need to tune the guitar for over two weeks, through six gigs and two rehearsals. I have had Dunlop Dual Design straplocks put on, but the original ones are in the case and I can have them put back on if preferred. Condition is very good, with a few signs of use as pictured. There are two paint chips on the front edge of the lower bout, one small and one absolutely tiny, and there is also a small paint break dent in the same area. There is also a mark in the paint near the back edge, and some shallow swirl scratches on the back on and around the trem cavity and control cavity covers. There is also some use wear on the brushed nickel pickup covers. None of these are apparent from the front or from player position when the guitar is in use. From an audience and player point of view, the guitar appears pretty much as new. This is a serious purchase, and I am happy for a serious buyer to try the guitar out in person. If you are nearby, I am happy to bring it over for you to try through your own setup, or I have an excellent pair of Waza Air headphones that would allow this pretty much anywhere. £2,200 cash collected from SE or South London. This includes the original PRS hardcase, all hang tags, QC tag and case candy. Trades considered (with cash adjustment) for a PRS Hollowbody. Feel free to try me with other potential trades, but I am fussy. If it doesn’t sell, I will not be disappointed to keep it! #MyPRS #PRS #PRSguitar #PRSguitars #DGT #DavidGrissom

After much consideration and having a noodle on it tonight I have decided to keep it, I waited a long time to find one in this condition and fallen back in love again...sorry to those that showed interest
