  1. 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.
  2. 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 🙂
  3. Excellent, isn't it?

    sold

    Bargain Darkglass pedal!!!!
  5. I just sold Denis a fantastic Dingwall bass. Perfect transaction, chap even arranged the shipping for me and paid extra costs with no complaints! Enjoy it mate, it made me happy on many gigs and I'm sure it will perform well for you! Deal with confidence
  6. Really interested in seeing more HQ pics of this, do you have any??
  7. Hmm, neck looks outstanding on that.
  8. Another vote for the Flea Jazz. Very, very nice instrument with a huge sound. Awful QC though as per usual Fender, try before you buy to make sure its a goodun!
  9. Rocking the 5th Anniversary Streamer last weekend...
  10. [quote name='mark76' timestamp='1498137817' post='3322745'] WAL are definitely more stylish than Warwick. Though both look like funiture (must be a European thing). [/quote] Odd choice of comparison, and there are far more furniturey basses than Wals and Warwicks. MKII by far the best shape for me, shame about the 4 string neck shape on them all.
  11. I don't know, would a young guy looking for his first band not be a little intimidated by writing and having equal voice, rather than just go with the flow a bit at first and find his feet?
  12. That a very pretty Corvette!
  13. Shipping to France is possible 🙂
  14. A new bass with a faulty bridge?? Take it straight back, please god don't put nail varnish on it!!!
  15. 90% of interest so far has been trade offers. Please, I am not looking for a straight trade on this bass as I need to raise money. Any trade would either need to involve significant cash my way, or have a higher value than the Dingwall (so you may as well just sell it yourself and pay cash!).
  16. Up for the weekend 🙂 Lots of interest, nothing concrete. You'll be waiting some time to grab one of these new, even Bass Direct are pretty much out of Dingwalls at the moment!
  17. Great deal, this. Should have the slimmer neck profile too
  18. Looks a helluva lot better on stage than me!
  19. [quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1497363549' post='3317546'] My old bass! This thing is absolutely incredible and i can only imagine its even better with the Darkglass pre, i had the same job done by the same guy who fitted this one on another bass and his work is superb. If i hadn't made the same switch back to 4's recently i'd be £1700 lighter right now. GLWTS [/quote] Tis indeed, didn't realise you had made the complete switch too! Funny how things are, isn't it 😂
  20. £1000 for an SSI, almost 2 months and no sale? What am I missing here!!
  21. It's a beauty all right, compliments all around last night! Played well, sounded good and seem to to cut through nicely. Pleased!
  22. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1497177289' post='3316268'] I've found myself dialling this to the neck 80-100%, can't think of the last time it was anywhere near centre detent and I've never used it favouring the bridge pup. [/quote] How interesting, I have just decided on my setting tonight, panning slightly towards the bridge with a healthy bass boost Heaps of distortion on top though, so may have something to do with it.
