    Up for sale I have a gorgeous 2009 Gibson SG Standard Bass. This was the top end SG bass with the nitro finish, not to be confused with the much cheaper matte finish option. In excellent condition, only wear is some buckle rash, pretty unavoidable with this kind of finish! Pic shows it heavily exaggerated in light. It has been upgraded with a Hipshot full contact bridge, original bridge included with the sale with case candy. Also has an ebony thumb rest fitted and comes with spare knobs. Specs can be found here [url="http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015/USA/SG-Standard-Bass.aspx"]http://www.gibson.co...ndard-Bass.aspx[/url] Although ignore the new features for 2015, obviously the Hipshot is a better quality bridge than the Babicz, IMO very overrated hardware. 30.5 inch scale, all mahogany body/neck, Grover Tuners, top spec stuff. Its a joy to play, but it doesn't have any place in the progressive and power metal genre of music my bands play in! Pictures. Located in Leamington Spa. Comes with the Canadian made official hardcase, which in itself is a wonderful bit of kit. Thanks

    Up for sale I have a lovely Musicman Stingray 3EQ. In fantastic condition, comes with its case and a tort, black and white pick guard. A shade over 9 1/2 lbs on my scales, great weight for a 'Ray. Here are some photos, happy to take more if needed lovely grain in the Ash, it really is a great example of a Stingray: Looking for £900, bass is located in Leamington Spa. Keen for trades as well as a cash sale, open to anything so try me Warwicks are always good.... Thanks Kev

    Love to try one of these. Biggest issue with Dingwalls for me is the lack of balls in their sound, which I can only attribute to their 8lb odd weight. I would love to hear how this sounds!

    [quote name='prowla' timestamp='1502433837' post='3351339'] I once tried a Mono for a Ric and it didn't fit, so don't buy without trying. [/quote] Mine fit in a Vertigo case...
  6. Kev
    Consider a mono soft case. More than adequate protection, certainly offers more cushioning and shock absorption than any ABS case

    10lb a back breaking anchor? Are you not bassists! Seems a bargain!

    Can't believe he didn't mention the hole around the treble pickup...

    Amazing. Be a chap and give me a bell if you don't get on with this!

    OT really, but new CS order?! Look forward to seeing that! This is a stunner

    Slightly bizarre thread, this. Understand the point about not being told about a charge prior to agreeing to list (although clearly there is also some onus on the seller to establish what happens if they withdraw from sale; surely a safe assumption that there would be a charge for such a service without any reward otherwise?), but people complaining about a £30 charge if the bass does not sell or sells elsewhere? Why would Bass Direct or any other shop or business clean and photograph a bass, create a web page for it, share on social media and print in stock lists free of charge?? Why would anyone expect to list and withdraw w[i]ithout[/i] paying something, or even feeling obliged to pay something? If I were Bass Direct/Bass Gallery etc I would probably make it a condition that the bass cannot be advertised elsewhere once listed as eBay do. Its far too easy to abuse as people have said. Same people who abuse would probably moan about the £30 too!!

    The pickups will just be the blade versions of the Bigman pickups I would think, not multi coil Wal esque I wouldn't think, but killer pickups all the same. Craftmanship on new Warwicks is stunning, look at that neck...

    Fantastic looking instrument, can't wait to hear it, if we ever do!

    Leamington Spa, can/will travel 🙂

    You would get little change from £1k new to have this bass with this setup. £300 is a steal it really is, so surprised it hasn't gone!!

    SOLD

    SOLD

    Crazy this is still here. Mine is the best Fender Jazz iv played in terms of resonance, feel and tone. Yes, QC on some are rubbish, but that's why buying second hand is king!! This will be an outstanding instrument.

    Recent addition of Cali76-TX (replacing Super Symmetry) forced a Power Supply rethink, as I refused to pay £59 to make the Gigrig Generator output 18v(!!) So, grabbed one of the Memteq units off Amazon for £25 odd and I'm impressed. Noise free, no obvious disadvantage over the Gigrig on a little board like this, and it gives the transformer in the Cali the juice it needs. Satisfied

    40mm is definitely the tiniest nut I have ever heard of on a 5 string! Spacing must be soooo tight! Killer looking bass, for sure.

    Up for sale I have this wonderful instrument I took in a trade earlier this year. ESP LTD B-5E Neck Through bass guitar. Stunning instrument, and this one has been upgraded with EMG soapbar pickups and an EMG BQS Preamp [top range preamp, 3 band with mid freq control) at a cost of over £300 if I recall from the previous owner. Huge upgrade on stock electronics, its a very cool bass. Specs: [list] [*]Neck-thru-body [*]34" Scale [*]Mahogany body [*]Ebony top [*]5-Piece maple/mahogany neck w/ebony fingerboard [*]47mm standard nut [*]Extra thin U neck contour [*]24 XJ frets [*]Black nickel hardware [*]ESP tuners [*]ESP BB-605 bridge w/string-thru-body [*]Upgrade EMG Pickups and EMG BQS Preamp [/list] It appears the gloss version has now been discontinued, but here is the natural satin version at GAK https://www.gak.co.uk/en/esp-ltd-b-5-e-ns-natural-satin-5-strings/58923 Cost new approx £700 and EMG upgrades make this difficult to price, so i'v set £450 as a guide price. Incredible build for the money. NOW REDUCED TO £300 FOR QUICK SALE, postage/petrol extra. Selling as I no longer play 5 strings so it surplus to current requirements. Please note the battery is wired into the main control cavity rather than the battery holder, looks like battery snap supplied with preamp was not long enough to reach battery compartment. Would prefer collection/meetup as only have a gig bag for this and little in the way of packaging at the moment. Trades considered for 4 string instruments only please. Would consider adding cash. Pics show gorgeous woods and the very few marks in the finish it has around the control area.

    I have a Gigrig Generator Power Supply and a 5 Output Distributor up for sale as I no longer require it. Has served me well for a number of years, very high quality power supply and will handle anything. Comes with 5 power leads cut to various (generous) lengths. In good condition, just a bit of Velcro where it has been attached to my board. Fantastic modular system. Not much else to say really! No box/manual but it's straightforward enough 🙂 £130 odd new, need a quick sale so £65 shipped takes them both 🙂

    Excellent, isn't it?
