  1. It sounds amazing and this one is very light. It just needs to go sadly.
  2. why is that
  3. All good. I emailed back and they promptly responded. I got the info I need!
  4. For sale, a G&L LB-100, Option Order model, made in USA in 2022. It is in very good condition with no visible marks, except for a few scratches on the pickguard and a few surface marks on the body, nothing deep, impossible to photograph. As stated, I had it made for me as an Option Order (also called Built to Order nowadays) and the specs are as follows: -Empress body (also called Paulownia), this is a super light wood that makes for a very light bass! Total weight is 7.4lbs/3.3 kgs. This body option is NOT available from G&L anymore! -Quartersawn maple neck with satin finish. Very stable and comfortable. Truss-rod is working fine, although you need a smaller allen key (which I'll provide) as it is not the usual Fender-size. It makes adjusting the truss-rod a tad more finicky but my luthier confirmed it is working as it should. -Indian Rosewood fretboard, 41mm nut width, 9.5” radius. -Alpine white body, black pickguard. -Precision style pickup, passive electronics, volume and tone. -Headstock with G&L logo but no model name. Slick. -Comes with the G&L flight-case. It sounds and plays fantastic. You can pick it up in Edinburgh (or we can meet up within reasonable distance), or alternatively I can ship it fully insured and securely packaged across the UK, for an extra £60. The same bass nowadays would set you back at least £2000, if not more. Made in USA, custom order baby! Any questions give me a shout. Thanks!
  5. In this day and age, if you want your small business to take off and be sustainable, you’ve got to be on top of your communication. I used WhatsApp to contact them a couple of weeks ago, no answer. I know it was the end of year holidays but it’s now 8th January. same with an email I sent weeks ago. I’ll look elsewhere.
  6. Hi all, For sale this gigbag by Mono, the M80 Vertigo. Extremely sturdy, it protects your bass like no other gigbag. I've had it for probably 10 years, so it sports a few marks, mainly on the inside (see photos), but nothing that impacts its efficiency and protective ability. You can pick it up in Edinburgh or I can ship with ParcelForce for an extra £10. Cheers

  7. I am making sense. What is so special about this Signature bass?
  8. Thankfully I won’t try! I had a lovely Christmas. I wasn’t being bitter. It just is a very banal Precision, it’s weird for it to be a signature model. That’s all. Usually signature models are a bit more adventurous.
  9. I find this amusing that someone would have such bass as their signature model. It is literally the most banal Precision ever. Rosewood/sunburst/tortoise. Meeeehhhh. But enjoy it dude
  10. This is an eye-watering price 😮
  11. Did you edit out the Serial of the Cali76 or is it missing?
  12. For sale, this fantastic bass compressor made in the USA by Keeley Electronics. It's got a very simple layout and is super easy to use. It does wonder to your bass sound, making it just... better! As most compressors, you notice it's missing when you turn it off. The "Bassist" is subtle but super efficient. I love it, I just don't need it anymore. It comes with the box and it is in very good condition. It's got velcro underneath, pedalboard-ready. Up to you to keep it or remove it. To be collected in Edinburgh or can be shipped in the UK for £8. Cheers
  13. For sale, this fantastic overdrive pedal by Darkglass. It is a very tube-like drive, which sounds very different from the usual Darkglass pedals, usually quite modern-sounding. The VMT has that warm, vintage sound to it and it shines in the mix. I love it but I do not need it anymore, so it has to go! It comes with the original box. It is in perfect condition and works flawlessly. It can be collected in Edinburgh or alternatively I can ship it across the UK for £8. Thanks!

  14. For sale, this tuner by TC Electronic for guitar and bass. It is fully functional and only has one minor mark on the enclosure. It comes with the original box. To be collected in Edinburgh or shipped in the UK for £5. Thanks!
  15. For sale, this Fender Jazz Bass Player Series neck in excellent condition. It is made of maple with a satin finish, and sports a nicely figured Pau Ferro fretboard. Furthermore, it also has Hipshot HB7 tuners, which are a great upgrade from the stock machine heads. These are nice and smooth! This neck was installed on a bass for a couple of months, and has been played, but it is in excellent condition. No visible dents, frets aren’t worn, truss rod works as it should. For the price of a new Player Jazz neck, you can get this neck in excellent condition with upgraded tuners (which are worth £100!). Worth a think, right? It’s ideal for any parts project, or to replace your damaged Fender neck. Any questions let me know. Can be collected in Edinburgh or shipped across the UK for £15.
  16. Now £175.
  17. On my scales, it shows at 3997 grams.
  18. For sale, this lovely Fender Player Jazz Bass in Black, with Maple fretboard. This is a great bass, which sounds amazing and plays really well. It's been gigged and used in rehearsal a few times, so it sports a few superficial marks, mainly on the back of the body and above the pickguard near the upper horn (they are extremely hard to photograph). One of the tuners also has some scuffs but it doesn't impact its functioning. Truss-rod is working fine, as it should. A local luthier did a shielding of the cavity, as it hadn't been done by Fender, making the bass noisy originally. It is much quieter now, at least when not soloing one of the pickups, in that situation you obviously get the classic single-coil hum... But if you know your Jazz Bass, you know that's normal. Specs are classic: Alder body, maple neck and fretboard, vintage-style tuners, single-coil pickups, passive Volume/Volume/Tone electronics. It comes with an aftermarket (shielded) black pickguard, but I will also provide the original white pickguard. It comes with a very flimsy gig-bag, I can ship the bass within the UK if needed (for an extra £35), I'd obviously pack it thoroughly with gig-bag, bubble-wrap and cardboard. However I'd prefer a collection in or around Edinburgh, Scotland. Any questions let me know! Thanks
  19. For sale, this VT Bass DI preamp by Tech 21. Fantastic pedal that gives you a whole lot of bass tones, mainly with an Ampeg flavour. It is in good condition overall, it’s been used but works perfectly. It doesn’t come with the box, but I’ll provide an alternative box for shipping. I’m asking £190. Shipping across the UK for £7, or collection in Edinburgh. Thanks.
  20. They're not available until later in April in the UK/Europe unfortunately. The US have clearly been prioritised. I pre-ordered it and look forward to run it through its paces in practice. On paper it's got everything I need in a preamp.
  21. Yeah, it’s not super light, but not too heavy either for a 5 string. It balances superbly.
