Edited due to requirement changes

john_the_guitar - not sure the mods would approve Stevie - I'm not interested in anything else to be honest. I have a fairly good idea of where I want to go with my guitar rig, which involves the stuff up the top

Revised my requirements to very simply a Gibson ES-335. Seen a couple but details aren't especially forthcoming on one in particular so I am still looking. I have this: 2002 3EQ Stingray 4 with OHSC. Bass is virtually mint and has a set of Elixirs on of which the coating is starting to peel at the pickup end. I had it dated on the EBMM forum - I think it's April or June 2002. And this: 2005 USA P Bass S1 with OHSC. Bass is in excellent condition, it's not mint, but there are no chips, dents, dings, scuffs or missing paint - just buckle rash on the back really, which hasn't split the finish, but I suppose because it's black, it shows up a bit more, and there is some wear from plastic cuff buttons on the forearm contour - but again, not through the finish and probably shows up more because it's black. I suppose it looks like the lacquer has dulled a bit in that area. Oh, and there is a mark on the very end of the headstock where I whacked it on the big glass lampshade in the diining room - entirely my fault, see the pic below of the mark. This must be a regular thing as my first P bass had had the same treatment a long time before I ever laid eyes on it. I know everybody says the same thing, but it is the best P Bass I've ever played, which is why I still have it and not the other two P Basses I've owned (my JV included). Both basses were set up by Howard Smith in Leicester, but I think he has done a particularly good job with this one. Currently has an almost dead set of D'Addario half rounds fitted, but I will change these if you prefer. Anyway, due to current circumstances, I can't really part with them for cash as it will probably disappear before I can get another guitar, so if anybody has a 335 that they would be looking to trade (or a very good Les Paul that I could possibly trade for a 335 somewhere down the line), then I would be very open to the idea. I have ZERO spare cash at the moment as I have basically no income while I am looking for another job. So if you have either a 335 in Cherry ideally, but also like the tobacco bursts or a good Les Paul (Custom or a nice Standard - not really after a Studio, Classic, Special, Junior. Would also consider a Deluxe) and you would like a couple of nice basses, please get in touch.

Why don't you raffle it off?

PM'd and on hold

Selling my iPod Video 30gb having bought an 80gb Classic. It's in full working order, but is a bit scratched and well used. I bought it in January 2005 (just after I bought the first car I had with an Aux in socket) and have steadily and completely filled it over the last few years. Comes with the original box and a brand new USB cable and a pair of headphones. Looking for £60 to include p&p. Cheers

Is that you Brad? No, rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated

Boss TU-2 Chromatic tuner for sale, boxed with manual - has a bit of velcron on the base to go on to a pedal board. £45 + £3.50 p&p or will consider combining with my iPod Video 30gb and swapping for a DAB/iPod ready cd head unit. Ta

Got a set of Elixirs for Christmas, 45 - 105, but actually asked for bronze guitar strings. Hot Rox haven't replied to any of my emails asking if I can return them, so they're for sale here. £25 by cheque, cash or bank transfer to include p&p - I think they were £28 from Hot Rox and they're more expensive elsewhere. PMs please

wow these are hard to get at the moment!
