Thanks for the reply. Could you hold it for me for an hour or so? It's going to be donated to S'manth (See this thread here) to replace stuff lost in a fire, but I'm just waiting to hear back from her. Cheers.

With a heavy heart, I'm selling my most prized possession (and dream amp), my Ampeg SVT-CL. Don't think much explaining needs doing for this powerhouse. I just unfortunately don't use it enough, and rather it goes into the hands of someone who will use much more than I do. Comes with a cute little soft-case. Collection from Pontefract, West Yorkshire. Don't really trust myself to ship this one, but happy to travel for fuel. Cheers!

Hi all So how often do you see a triple pickup bass for sale? Up for sale is my Godin Shifter 4 bass, made in Canada, and quite different to the PJ pickup Classic series which came after. I bought it for making it into a project bass but don't have the time. Here are some reviews of it: https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/guitars/godin-shifter-4-501652 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwTRXBh6Si4 This bass has vol/tone knobs and a 5 way pick up selector, and is wired so the switch does: Neck pickup only Neck + Middle pickups Middle pickup only Middle + Bridge pickups Bridge pickup only The original sixth option of push-pull on the tone knob to isolate the next pick up has been removed, but this current set up seems to work well. Peering into the cavity, it has been copper shielded and someone has installed a Freeway 12-way switch in there (https://www.freewayswitch.com/products/), though flicking it over to the second bank doesn't seem to result in all the options one might expect. However the first bank of options seems to work normally, as documented above. It's a fun bass with a lot of tonal options, the neck is really comfortable and fast (Jazz width nut, 1.5") and the neck has been smoothed/lightly sanded in the past. Another set of white pick ups and scratch plate included along with the black set it is equipped with. The white pickups appear to be humbuckers as opposed to single coils. But it definitely has single coils equipped currently; this is how these basses originally shipped. I make the weight to be 9.75 lbs. Canadian Laurentian basswood body, rock maple neck and maple fingerboard. Finish has some wear and swirling and scratches on the back on it, but it looks good overall. £450 shipped in the UK, happy to give quotes for shipping elsewhere too. Pete

Sire V3 Gen 2 with reworked pickups and rolled over fingerboard edges. Sire preamp with active/passive switch. Low action, light weight, no issues. Very little use as kept as back up to other Sire. Now £200 Edit: I have weighed the bass and it comes out at 7lbs 15oz. This feels right to me as it is feather light and way under my other basses. I have had enquires about postage and I am happy to box up the bass for courier but buyer will need to arrange their own service and level of cover.

Mutron III+ Envelope Filter in excellent condition. All fully working and checked, even comes with the original power supply. Getting fairly rare these. Price includes U.K. postage.

Fender Mustang Bass made in 1972 in an original and well used condition, with plenty of bumps, bruises, dings, paint checking and discolouration. The blue finish has turned to a petrol green colour but the original colour can be seen under the bridge, neck pocket and pickguard. A previous owner had used glue under the pickguard to try and prevent warping and shrinkage (not the first time I have heard of this being done!) but thankfully most of the original paint remains, albeit somewhat messy. There are two areas where the top layer of the pickguard has split around two screws but it is still secure and does not go through the other 2 plys. The ink stamps date the bass to 1972 and the pots to 6th week, also 1972. The frets are in good shape, the fingerboard has some very nice grain and the truss rod turns freely in both directions. The tuners work well but have some tarnishing as expected, likewise the bridge which still has the facility to add foam mutes if required. The tug bar has a split and only one screw but is the original reddish coloured version. I have always liked the red shadow these leave on light coloured pickguards! It has a new set of La Bella MUS flatwounds which really do suit the bass and ensure a decent low end thump! The bass weighs in at a mere 3.25kgs or 7 and a bit pounds. Sadly I have discovered that short scale basses are just not for me and will stick to long scale but no doubt in a few years when I am even more decrepit, I’ll regret letting this go! To ensure any prospective buyer is happy, I would much prefer this to be a collection only. I would also much prefer a straight sale but would be willing to consider a lower priced Precision or Jazz as a part exchange. Please feel free to ask for any further information!

For anyone wondering about the quality of Godin- I bought a used Godin Freeway 16 years ago, and it has been my only gigging bass for most of those years, and has just become so again. If the neck profile is the same (and it sounds like it could be), then it will feel absolutely lovely! Any time I pick up another bass, I wish it was my Godin.
