Selling my Fender Precision Lyte bass. I have two near identical sunburst models ( with close serial numbers ) and this one was my spare during my time with The ELO Experience. I say 'spare' but in reality it never left the house, which explains it being in immaculate condition. I bought this one in case my other one got nicked or met an unfortunate end on the road ( it didn't but that's the one I'm keeping, and after nearly 800 gigs it is a bit roadworn. ) So, it makes sense to sell this beauty. I've had it a long time, and it has really been a case queen as they say. There are one or two small marks but nothing like you will find on most basses from the mid 90's. Frets are not showing any wear, and amazingly all the tops are still intact on the control knobs (these usually get lost over the years). Only other thing worth mentioning are some marks on the headstock edge, but again nothing nasty. It dates from either 1996 or 1997, and is one of the later / last of the standard Precision Lytes. I prefer this era due to the finishes being more durable than the earlier models and also the chrome hardware, again better lasting than the gold stuff on the early ones. I've had a few P-Lytes over the years and this one is possibly the best. The neck is a very slim Jazz bass profile, 1.5" at the nut. Build quality and finish are up to the usual Japanese high standard. It plays superbly, with a medium/low action. Currently wearing a set of D'Addario EXL170s, 45-100 ( which have been on a while TBH). Scale is the standard Fender 34" and it balances well on the strap. Controls are master volume / pan / bass / treble, with the preamp using a standard 9v battery. Lots of tonal variety available, very versatile. It weighs a fantastic 6.8 lbs using my digital luggage scales, and is therefore a great choice for long gigs. Nothing has been altered from when it was new to my knowledge, and it really is a fabulous bass. I've recently retired from doing lots of touring, so time to sell some stuff that I won't be needing anymore. I will include a case - it's an old scruffy Gator ABS one but still does the job. I think £595 is a good price, especially considering it's condition - have recently seen similar (not so tidy) basses advertised for between £649 and £779. I would much prefer this to be a cash on collection sale or happy to deliver within say a 60 mile radius of Brough in East Yorkshire for the cost of my diesel. Also could meet up somewhere if you're further away, PM me to arrange. I will post it if necessary, but will need to source a box first. Any questions then shoot - have more pics too. Thanks for reading, cheers.

For Sale is a Jive Saturator Overdrive pedal from JPTR FX. Great sounding pedal - designed to capture some of the vibe of the preamp in an old Akai Reel-To-Reel machine. Shares a lot in common with the ZVex SHO circuit, though with some tweaks and more clipping options. Super versatile and useful pedal; happy to be that always-on magic you've been looking for, or can be used as a more classic overdrive style device. Plays well with others and is happy to be put anywhere in the signal flow to help add grit and character. Inherently adds some great presence and vibe, and is really hard to turn off. I have a Double Jive, and so this is now surplus to my needs. Price is £75 including p&p - please contact if you require delivery further afield. Pickup in Belfast is also welcome. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

For Sale is the Add Violence Fuzz pedal from JPTR FX. This fuzz is INSANE! One of the best super fuzz style pedals I have used. JPTR FX included both a bass boost and clean blend in to this pedal, making it an absolute beast with bass. It's a huge and brutal sounding fuzz, that can also approach some amazing synth-y tones with an octave pedal and lower gain settings. Tone control sweeps from mid cut to mid boost, and the pedal will tear through the mix, no matter the setting. JPTR FX don't appear to be making these currently, so this is a great chance to get this beast of a fuzz. Price is £125 including p&p within the UK - please contact me if you need delivery further afield. Pickup in Belfast is also welcome. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Just bought one of these (for £50 more may I add!! 😢🤣) and I wouldn’t usually comment but they are absolutely everything people say they are - it’s an unbelievably great sounding preamp, and things like the 2 x FX loops - 1 before the preamp and 1 after is such good design and has so many practical applications in the real world (i.e. Modulation such as chorus/octave/envelope filter before the preamp but then you can run your compressor at the end of your chain or stick a HPF right at the end of your chain, without having to get extra DI’s and add another pedal/box in to do it!) I haven’t stopped messing about with it and testing different things since I got it, if you’re thinking about getting one but you’re not sure - it’s really good and absolutely worth the money

Still here?! 🤯 It's a source of utter bemusement for me how Alan's instruments have such ridiculously low resale values. I look on Bass direct, and I see used Elricks, Mayones, US MTDs in the £2-3k range. All fine boutique instruments, but at a level of craftsmanship that's no higher than an ACG. Not that I can really complain, because - * looks lovingly at 4 ACG instruments to his left * - I've benefitted from this silliness over the years. This year I've bought a new Dingwall for £2500, and a used mint ACG Krell for less than half that. The Dingwall is nicely put together, of course, but is it twice the instrument that the Krell is? Hell, no. With the best will in the world, it's not even AS good. Because OBVIOUSLY. Also: the P-Retro pre is simply one of the most cleverly designed, useful, sonically satisfying pres I've ever used. ACG + P-Retro = perfection. Not only that, but this Skelf/reverse headstock combo means that this is one of those rare ACGs that is simply crying out to be slung low, with you shooting from the hip like the rock-and-f***in'-roll bass god that you know you can be. In summary: Snap up this bargain now, people! It'll be one of the best basses you'll ever own. [apols to Bassbunny for the waffle. GLWTS, mate! 🙂]
