  1. For Sale is a superb condition PJB Big Head Practice amp/preamp/recording interface etc. and PJB Bass-specific headphones. This kit is the biz and the headphones are fantastic to hear bass through. It comes with all the connecting cables and plugs and is in superb condition having only been used a few times at home. I'm looking for £180 posted, which is a £70 saving on a new set. I will not however be able to post before next Thursday, so apologies if you need it sooner. Specs: The PJB Bighead is not big at all. In fact it is barely larger than an iPhone. The "Big" is about the sound. It functions first as an awesome bass headphone amplifier with 2 band EQ ( +/- 18db @ 60 Hz and +/- 18dB @ 5KHz) set for optimization of all kinds of bass instruments. Unlike consumer electronic MP3 players and smart phones that have very small power output of around 20 milli-watt to drive headphones, the Bighead has more than 10 times the power. This contributes to a far more exhilarating listening experience with increased resolution and dynamics. Even if you are just listening to music, the Bighead will be a great improvement to your regular headphones, adding more listening pleasure. A more important function of the Bighead is being a recording tool both in digital and analog. As an Analog Digital Converter, it has the finest BURR BROWN digital components. The USB out is 48KHz 16Bit digital conversion. In other words, recording your bass onto Pro Tools will give you exactly what you wish for and absolutely nothing else. Maybe you need an analog pre amp. The big Head can do that too. It will provide up to 12dB of gain and better than 96dB signal to noise ratio. Just use the headphone out jack to feed an amp or mixer. It has an internal lithium-ion rechargeable battery that is fed by its USB jack, so any computer or appropriate cell phone charger can charge it in less than 3 hours, but it can play for up to 8 hours. Not all headphones are suitable for bass instruments. Many may sound good for casual listening, but plug them into the headphone jack of a bass amp and you will soon find their limitations. PJB H-850 headphones are the first pair designed specifically to bridge the gap between high-quality music and deep and clear bass. They are a result of years of auditioning and analyzing the mechanisms of what works best for the reproduction of music and bass. Utilizing high power 40mm neodymium magnets and closed back acoustic loading, we were able to achieve superb sound reproduction for both music and bass instruments. The H-850 are ergonomically designed with shape and materials to be lightweight so they can be worn comfortably for hours. They also have excellent acoustic isolation from external noise and headphone bleed through for recording application. After you try the H-850 you will soon realize these will be your favorite tools.
  2. I'd call it the Bass from Outer Space, the Space Bass or the UFO (Unique Fretted Object) if it were mine
  3. For Sale are a few spare bits: Black genuine Music Man Stingray 5 HH Pickguard. This is used and as is the case with most things black, there are some light marks and scratches- £30 inc.
  4. For Sale is a One Spot Combo pack (charger plus pedal daisy chains) that I've had for a matter of days. It's absolutely spotless and comes with all the packaging. These cost £34 plus postage. Mine is £27 inc. so a bit of a saving on a brand new one .
  5. For Sale is an super condition Pedaltrain Jr with padded gigbag (no shoulder strap unfortunately). Both are in great condition and the board has been velcroed ready for use. Yours for £60 posted. Only selling because (gulp) I need something bigger 😳
  6. You're more than welcome to borrow one of my CN112's Dave. I don't need it for a while, so no rush.
  7. I just bought Rik's Stingray 5 in a totally hassle-free deal. The bass is in exceptional condition and I couldn't be happier Highly recommended
  8. A great guy is our Alain. Highly recommended
  9. My old 89 P Bass was dusted off for a gig at Christmas. It had been retired for a number of years purely as I didn't want to risk gigging it (sentimental value etc.) As the gig was a "safe" one (not public),I decided to bring it out and even restrung it with DR Sunbeams as opposed to my usual TI's. Wow, it was like coming home and I haven't put it back in its case since
  10. [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1492451781' post='3280383'] My rule. In the studio, lined, because it wastes everyone's time if I have to re-record poorly intoned parts. On stage, unlined because I've never been able to see the lines anyway, I'm not tempted to look down (my attention is anyway usually elsewhere trying to avoid being hit in the face by the guitarist's headstock or walking off stage etc), and it looks better [/quote] This for me too
  11. For sale is a 1995 Fender Factory made lined Fretless P Bass in red. It is all stock apart from a new tortoiseshell pickguard (the original white one is supplied too). These differ from the Fretless Jazz Basses in that they were manufactured with the side fret dots in the same place as a fretted bass (IE in between frets), not ON the fret like the Jazz basses. I actually find these easier to play for this reason, especially when transitioning from fretted to fretless. Condition-wise it's very good but does have some minor dings and scratches. The neck also has some string marks but they are not deep and can't be felt when playing. Considering the bass has been used and is 22 years old, it's actually in very good nick. I have just lemon oiled the fingerboard and added a few photos. As you can see, there are a few very shallow marks from round wound strings but these are very superficial and very light (as the fingerboard is still drying, they actually look more pronounced than they actually are). Weight-wise it's around 9lbs, so very comfortable. It will also be supplied with a Mono Sleeve Gigbag that cost over £150 itself. I am looking to trade for a late 80's Stingray (2 eq) or a lightweight SR5. I may consider a lightweight Fender Marcus Miller too, or a maple boarded US P Bass. Maybe something from Gibson too. I'd also consider a great condition Fender US Tele or decent acoustic guitar. I've now put this up for a straight sale- [b]£700 inc. postage or £650 without the gigbag[/b]
  12. Fred (Paul) recently bought a pedal from me in a totally hassle-free deal. It's couldn't have been easier and more pleasant. Highly recommended
  13. For sale is a 2 week old Darkglass Vintage Microtubes Pedal. It has been velcroe'd and then put on to my Board which hasn't left the house or actually been fired up (don't ask). As a result, it is virtually new (except for the Velcro, which I'll throw in for free!) It cost me £219 from Anderton's. Yours for £175 posted.
  14. I had Sims install some blue LED side dots in to my US Fender P Bass. The workmanship is superb and they also fitted a battery compartment at the rear of the body for a 9v battery. I also had an on/off switch added too. The work was done probably 8 years ago and I think I've probably replaced the battery a maximum of 4 times (I don't turn the LED's on for every gig, only if it's a bit too dark).
  15. I've fitted mine to a US P bass without any need for modification. It doesn't have the trussrod access notch however, but I didn't find that problematic as I remove the pickguard to adjust the action anyway.
  16. I too bought a pickguard off Simon in what was a totally hassle-free deal. Highly recommended
  17. Bump for trade options. Could possibly add a bit of money to a trade deal too
