  1. Hello Now I know what's happening with my guitars, I now need to find a guitar case to put one of them in more permanently and so I am offering a couple of cases either for sale seperately or trade for one case. First is a standard sort of rectangular case - internal length is 102cm and is suitable for a guitar with a straight headstock, like a Strat or a Tele or similar - NOT something with an angled headstock like a Gibson. Tolex covered ply, plastic corners, furry inside. Second is a fitted case for a Les Paul shaped guitar - it's actually got "Gibson" stencilled on it and is a very similar shape to the old style 'Lifton' cases used by Gibson, but it's not - another tolex covered ply job, but fitted for LP shaped guitars and will take an angled headstock. Furry inside and has a pocket - the lift tab has come off, but you can still get into it. Both cases in great condition, no rips or tears, all catches, handles and hinges intact - [size=5][b]£30 ONO each?[/b][/size] I live in Leicester and I'd prefer them to be picked up, but happy for [b]you[/b] to arrange shipping with somebody like parcel2go or interparcel or somebody like that - I don't have boxes for them so I would probably tape the lid and base together or wrap them in binliners or something if you did want to send a courier for them, but that's entirely up to you. Pics on request. I would like to swap them for ONE proper Les Paul case (and don't mind adding a little bit of cash if necessary) - black or brown with any colour fur inside (pink, white, grey, whatever), but it must be in good nick with no rips, all the catches and combination catch functioning. Let me know what you've got. Ta
  2. Now withdrawn as I need to leave myself with a semi. Will hopefully find the funds for a bass in the not too distant future.
  3. Right then - update: The 335 is on hold pending funds, following a fella coming round to play it today. This means that the Standard is withdrawn but the Custom is still available for now - I'm not so desperate to sell any others, but if there is any interest in the Custom, please let me know. Cheers John
  4. What power does this handle (if it's not sold of course)?
  5. PM'd you back Mart For anybody that's interested, the LP Custom is Vintage Sunburst.
  6. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='542035' date='Jul 16 2009, 10:47 AM']Scratch Pad - that's the self-clinging thing (electro-static, so no sticky stuff involved) that can easily be transferred between basses. Expensive, but excellent.[/quote] that's the fella. I find that even the poly lacquered instruments pick up marks from plastic shirt buttons. Strangely enough though my Stingray got the most use, yet showed the least wear.
  7. there was a self cling product that you could put on the back of the guitar to stop it happening. I think madison and fifth distributed it
  8. My first amp! These are very good as it goes and I reckon this is a bargain.
  9. Lads I am so broke it's unreal and [b]one[/b] of the below has to go. I love them all equally so it's a bloody wrench to let any of them go, but needs must (especially as I had to part with that Ric as well). Although I'm skint, I won't take silly low money for any of them. I only have one bass and that's on loan to me so I have to keep that Email or PM me for pictures, prices, details, etc. Gibson ES-335 Dot Figured. Cherry red, flame top, back and rims, 57 Classics, 60s neck. Gibson LP Standard Desert Burst, some flame in the top, Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups, 50s neck. Gibson LP Custom, brown sunburst (bit darker than Iced Tea I suppose), all original and A1. I also still have my Epiphone 335 up for grabs and am still hoping for a trade to a Precision of some sort Thanks guys.
  10. Now on ebay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=270419727124&Category=41439"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...;Category=41439[/url]
  11. Pics: If anybody would like more detail, please let me know
  12. Circumstances dictate that I now have to sell off some gear in order to do things like eat and pay bills. So first on the block is my Ric 360 6 string - all original, original hard case, few marks but nothing that detracts from playability (a bit of buckle rash, small paint chip on the treble side, back of the neck) and a couple of tiny dints) and set up very nicely indeed. I would consider a trade for something of approximate equal (or greater ) value that I could then sell if you have something and would prefer a Ric, but beware, I am extremely fussy! Other than that a cash sale of around £875ish? This one has to go to meet living expenses, my Epiphone Dot is also for sale to fund a new bass and I would like another Precision. Ta
  13. Cheers for tip off but really need another (at least) 300w 8ohm 15"
  14. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='529458' date='Jul 1 2009, 11:51 AM']They are well stuck on, I pryed the 12 out of my combo with a screwdriver. Satisfying crack/pop sound.[/quote] That's what I did in the end - flipping thing. No response from the good people at Ashdown but it's only been a few hours!
  15. And if anybody can offer any suggestions on how I remove the speaker from the cab, they would be welcomed. I have removed the screws but the bloody thing won't budge. Trying to run a fuel loyalty points club card underneath the edge of the speaker frame results in destroying the card!
  16. That's a good plan - I did speak to them this morning and they were very helpful. I might try again
  17. I searched for 'Speaker +recommendation' and only got half a page of results that weren't what I was looking for and then searched 'speaker' and got 26 pages so I'm going to ask The speaker in my Ashdown ABM Mini 15 stopped working rather abruptly last night. Low input, output set to about 1 o'clock, not had much use - certainly less than 100 hours anyway. It's well past its warranty now, so I will need to buy a replacement 15" speaker. Can anybody recommend a brand or type for somebody on a budget?
  18. I'd never seen a Gordon-Smith bass until Shaggy's - looks very cool I have a Gordon-Smith GS1 - an LP Junior copy and probably better made too.
  19. Any remote possibility you would be interested in a guitar Graeme?
  20. Walton's music on Great Georges Street in Dublin has loads of SX basses.
