WR Amplifying “Tube Emphasizer” DI & Preamp (£395 inc RM Special Delivery) For sale is my WR Goliath Preamp & DI. This is an absolutely fantastic, top tier, handmade Tube preamp - this is a proper Tube pre getting very close to the sound & feel of the Noble etc (there is a lot of talk/comparisons/sound clips on TalkBass about this, the Noble and other Tube ore’s & DI’s if you want to google it) This is leagues above tube pre’s like an EBS Valve Drive or Two Notes Le Bass etc, this is a preamp that you also feel on the strings as you play as well an immense tube sound which works great direct to FOH or just in front of your amp - Its a clean preamp however, not a high gain distortion type, but the sound is unreal I paid £500 in a deal with JoeABass for this is Feb (see his ad below👇 for more info) I’ve done a lot of gigs and some recording too with it, but I find I don’t like taking it out with me to a lot of places as I’m worried I worry it’ll get kicked/broken/drinks spilled on it etc, so I can’t justify having the money tied up in it at the moment, I am also looking to get a couple of things and I can’t afford to buy anything without selling first Basstheworld have done a couple of videos about it - the one I’m selling in the top end one (the Goliath Plus) with XLR out and Bypass switch. I’ll link the vids below, along with a sound demo done by someone else that showcases it pretty well It doesn’t come with its own power supply (just a generic 12v adapter bought from Amazon) however it works fine from my 12v slot on my TruTone power supply - the official power supply required is 12v DC @ 1 amp (1000 mA) but a standard 12v pedalboard power supply is fine It’s still in good condition, obviously it’s been gigged but it’s still working great and cosmetically in good nick I have done some serious hand wringing about selling this and about what to ask for it - I realise the market is pretty slow at the moment and so I have very much priced it to sell! I am taking a loss but everyone selling gear at the moment is doing so, I figure that if I buy something else it’ll probably be cheaper too at the mo, so it’s swings & roundabouts I guess! Price is £395 inc Special Delivery - to get one now like this would cost you €625 plus import duties plus shipping! Trades - Possibly but I’d prefer a cash sale, however bass-wise it’d be 5 string only - a Sadowsky MetroExpress 5, Yamaha PJ5 (bb735a/bb1025(/x) could possibly add cash) or a Jad Freer Capo (plus some cash your way), also I need a decent 4 Ohm cab 600-800w+ ideally a 210 or 212, or maybe another preamp pedal - it depends what it is but I’ll consider any offer just shoot me a message, I don’t mind and the worst I can say is no Thanks for Looking ✌️

Alder body in chrome red, C shaped maple neck with a dark-rosewood board (not photo enhanced) No truss rod issues. Nut 41.3mm String through body I replaced the original split single coil pickup with a Dimarzio DP122 WIMO is far superior to the stock one. I also replaced the ‘S1’ switch with a Fender 250k log vol control pot (who wants the windings in parallel giving a weakened output?! ) Both the original pickup and S1 switch are included. Rotosound 45-105 rounds fitted. Fender moulded case plus strap clips if you want to use. Small touched-up paint chip near neck indicated. Other than that negative, you could say excellent condition - great balanced thick sound of course.

Price dropped to £1250 before it goes down to Bass Direct for a commission sale, unless Mark feels like offering me a good price on it. Single Cut Skelf 32 inch scale 5 string. I have had a number of Alan's masterpieces over the years and this is the nicest one to play. If it wasn't for a change in circumstances, It would not be for sale. Originally specced out by @Merton of this parish, it is a gorgeous example of Alan’s exotic wood options - the “Fractal Mac” ebony top is crazy cool, different and interesting. It's light at 3.7Kg or 8lb 3oz in old money and is absolutely "as new". When I got it Alan had installed a 4-way pickup select switch (bridge, both parallel, both series, neck) but I felt it was a bit limiting so got Alan to send me a blend module and I find that much easier to get the tone you want. The P-Retro is an amazing piece of kit as well. I can easily swap it back to the selector switch if that is your thing. If it wasn't for the fact we're leaving the country, this bass would be going nowhere. This is probably going down to Mark @ Bass Direct in a week or so as I really don't want to take it with me when we emigrate. So, the specs: 5 string (low B) 32” scale White Limba body, fractal mac top 3-piece ash neck with carbon rods, asymmetric neck carve Rosewood board, zero radius Reverse 1+4 headstock with matching fractal mac veneer 2x ACG Overwound reverse PB ceramic pickups (essentially a P split pickup in a soap bar case, and reversed so treble side is nearer the neck) East/ACG P-Retro with active/passive switch, pickup blend. Hipshot B-type bridge, 17mm string spacing Gotoh tuners Currently strung with Newtone nickel strings Comes with a Fusion Gigbag

...and my quickest sale ever! Now sold! Hohner B2AV Professional bass in natural finish. Licensed by Steinberger with Steinberger System bridge. EMG Select pickups with active tunable pre-amp. Stacked tone pot. Has a foldable rest. String spacing is around 9mm at nut and 16mm at bridge. 34" scale. Uses double ball end strings. Comes with a very good quality Steinberger padded gig bag. Located in Bedford, MK42 9UR. Trades - very interested in a Line 6 HX Stomp. Any questions, please ask.

Music Man Stingray 1993 Great Music Man in natural finish. The bass has several usermarks/dents, and 2 damages as pictured. Technical condition is good. All hardware and electronics work like they should, the neck is straight and adjustable. Frets are still good too. Playability is great. Included is a generic softcase. It's a very good bass, but I happen to prefer the ones with lacquered necks. €1.500 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

Plug in. Turn up. And, above all, have fun. In "as new" condition, the plastic is still on the tuners. The Red Carbon effect pickguard is a vinyl wrap, that can easily be removed, but IMHO it looks much better than the white it comes with. Not many black ones around, but I also have the Sea Foam green version that's going nowhere, well actually it's coming to Valencia with me. It's a cracking bass and punches way above it's weight. Incidentally, when weighed using luggage scales, the heaviest reading was 7.5lbs. Any questions, just ask. Here's what Ibanez have to say: As part of the SR Mezzo series, the Ibanez SRMD205 brings an abundance of fun to playing the bass. A shorter 32", 5 string, medium-scale makes playing a breeze while still producing a luscious, rich low end. The lightweight design also adds to the comfort and enjoyability. Ibanez custom 2-band EQ electronics with DXP and DXJ pickups, this bass is really versatile. strung with D'Addario® EXL165 + .130 medium scale nickel strings.

Fully genuine and original Rickenbacker bridge pickup, professionally removed from my 4003. Only asking £100, plus £6 p+p in the UK. Payment by PayPal “gift’ please. PM with any interest, thanks for looking! SB 😀
