  1. For sale is a Boss AB-2 2-way selector pedal also in excellent condition (unboxed). It allows you to switch between two basses or two amps and is very useful indeed- £25 inc postage
  2. I've been asked if there is a for sale option as opposed to trade. I'd sell for £950
  3. For Sale/trade is a super condition 2012 Fender American Series Jazz Bass (the model before the Custom Shop pickups) that was bought by me two weeks ago as New Old Stock from Mickleburghs in Bristol. The paintwork and wood grain is one of the nicest I've seen. It had been hung on the wall for a while, so the fingerboard needed a good oiling which I have done. The body also has a few polishing swirls on it (very small and I've done my best to photograph them). The pickguard still had the original protective film on it but when I tried to remove it, it was virtually impossible as the film and pickguard had fused together. As a result I replaced the pickguard with an older genuine Fender one I had lying about, but it shows a few small marks as it has been used . Other than the swirls and replacement guard, I can't see a mark on the bass. It comes with the Fender SKB case, all the candy, hang tags and a new set of DR Sunbeams. It is incredibly lightweight (just over 8lbs) and has been copper shielded by me. It cost me £1,100. It is in Sunburst, Rosewood and tortoise shell and is stunning. I simply prefer P Basses to Jazzes but fell in love with the way this one plays. Im looking for a trade for an American Series P Bass in equally good condition (trade value £1,100). EDIT: I've also been asked if I would consider selling this rather than trading. My sale price is £950.

  5. For sale is a brand new, unused Fender SKB Bass Case (suitable for P and J Basses) complete with keys. These are wonderful cases but it is surplus to requirements. Yours for £110 inc. insured postage.
  6. For Sale or trade is a gorgeous 1999 Fender American Standard Stratocaster in a relatively rare Natural finish (factory finish, not stripped). The colour has aged beautifully to a dark natural tint. I have fitted it with a genuine Fender one-ply black pickguard and back plate. The original white ones are somewhere in the house too and will be included. Condition is overall very clean and there are only a couple of minor scuffs (pictured). It's recently been set up with new 9's and has a lovely fact action. The guitar comes with a Fender Deluxe gigbag and there is no tremolo arm (the trem is currently blocked up with a wood block which is very easy and painless to unmodify). I'm looking for £800 or would consider trades with a US Fender P or Jazz bass in similar condition, or a Gibson Thunderbird.
  7. I've had lots of PM's regarding trades and had some very tempting offers. I would consider a trade for a lightweight, excellent condition Fender American Vintage P or J Bass and possibly a R*ck*nb*ck*r 4003S or a Status S2 4 string
  8. Mine is G. I feel empowered and strong when I play it. It makes me happy What's your fave?
  9. For Sale or trade is an immaculate condition Music Man 3eq Stingray 4 string from 2014 in stunning Black/Black/Maple. This was bought by me recently and had been sat in a guitar shop in brand new condition (still has the film on the pickguard and unopened Case Candy). It is in mint condition and comes complete with the original case. It plays beautifully and weighs just over 9lbs. Brand new these would set you back over £1,600. This one is in as new condition but for Sale at £1,200. I'd also consider trades for an American Vintage Fender P or J bass in equally as good condition, or possibly a R*c 4003S
  10. For Sale is a 2013/14 SR5 HH in absolutely stunning condition. It also comes with the case and unopened candy and weighs in at around 9.5lbs, so a decent weight for a SR5. It comes with the original black and an official Music Man tortoise shell pickguard. It is strung with Elixirs and plays beautifully. I'm looking for £1,200
  11. Thanks chaps. You're right. I did mean tuning the B down to Bb
  12. I've just been asked to join a superb 3 piece but unfortunately they tune down to Bb I auditioned with my SR5 and while it performed admirably, the low B was rather floppy handling the semitone drop. I current use Elixirs but would like some advice on a slightly higher tension string to cope with the down tuning. Thanks!
  13. Hi Tom It comes with the Gedo carry (gig) bag and bow. It was bought new from Gedo Cheers
  14. For sale is a two week old Gedo Double Bass that has had a string upgrade and comes with gigbag and Hercules Stand. Unfortunately my old wrist injury has finally put an end to my DB playing, so this has to go. [color=black]In addition, I have been let down on the sale of an acoustic guitar and could really do with the funds. [/color] [color=black] [/color] [color=black]I took delivery of this from the Gedo factory only a few weeks ago. The model name is the KBALHVVS which comes with the following specs:[/color] [color=black] [/color] [color=black]3/4; size[/color] [color=black]Solid Spruce Top[/color] [color=black]Laminated back and sides[/color] [color=black]Antique Matt finish (very nice indeed)[/color] [color=black]Ebony fingerboard and end piece[/color] [color=black]Tirolean Machine heads[/color] [color=black]Set up with 9mm action on the E string, 7.5mm on the A, +mm on the D string and 5mm on the G.[/color] [color=black] [/color] [color=black]I have had it checked out and it looks and plays very well. The bridge sits nicely and the sound post seems to be very snug too. I am absolutely no expert I hasten to add, but a friend in "the know" gave it a good once-over and a nod of approval. It comes in a lovely Antique Natural finish and looks amazing.[/color] [color=black]The original strings (also included) have been replaced with Thomastik Spirocores (Weich) on the E and A strings and Pirasto Evah Pirazzi hybrids (low tension) on the D and G. The total cost for the restring was £170.[/color] I also ordered a custom-fit Ben Bastin wooden endpon to improve volume and sustain (great bits of kit). [color=black]Also included is a superb Hercules Double Bass Stand which cost over £60.[/color] [color=black]The total cost for this bass and upgrades (excluding postage) was just over £950.[/color] [color=black]While I am not willing to take a bath on this, I do want it gone, so I have priced this at £700 and it can be picked up from either Monmouth or Bristol.[/color] [color=black]The photos are not my bass, but it is identical and I will put pictures up as soon as I can.[/color]
