On hold. -
I have no idea what the going rate is for this so please correct me if I need it! Stack knob jazz set. 250K volume and 500K tone on each stack They have been fitted to my Stingray 5 which has now been put back to stock. Does £45 including delivery sound right? If anyone wants the PJ cut stingray scratchplate (custom order from WD Music at about £60!!!) then that can be sold as well for another £10. ta

Selling a pair of Nordstrand Big J Blade pickups for a 5 string. Only the bridge pickup has been installed before. The neck has not been used. I bought these from the USA a couple of years ago and after paying VAT and import they set me back about £225. That was before they became available in the UK at £180! (ar$e) They are the "Clean and Clear" model and sound great. The bass they were in will be sold so these are up for sale as a set. Full details here: https://nordstrandaudio.com/collections/5-string-jazz-bass-pickups/products/big-j-blade-5 Neck pickup (never opened). Bridge pickup Here's a demo of the 4 string set on a Maruszczyk Looking for £120 ish for the pair including UK delivery. I have the box too. Complete with the massively annoying bright red shredded paper packing material that Nordstrand likes so much! _____________________________________________ Also for sale an Aguilar AG 5P-60CL 5 string precision pickup. It is a vintage 60s wind with lovely mids. This is a NARROW precision pickup so please make sure it would fit your bass. It is designed for 17.5mm to 18.5mm string spacing. It will not fit Fender 5 string jazz basses. Dimensions are here: http://www.aguilaramp.com/wp-content/uploads/aguilar-pickup-5p-60cl.pdf The Bass Gallery have the regular spaced one at £135 - so I'm looking for about £80 including UK delivery. Please feel free to make offers. I won't be offended. Deals available if you want all of them. ta -

3 hours? Hasn't he got a job then? (sorry. Had to do it.) -
Bump. Don't be shy - make me an offer. I've seen something shiny I want! (I'm so weak!) -
13/15 Didn't get Tina Wymouth or Kim Gordon.

That's true, but as you say the price of valves has gone up quite a lot. Even if they don't disappear maybe at some point the amps they go in will become genuine high priced luxury items and not something available for £500 anymore.

I used to run a Digitech BSW in parallel with the distortion for that. Used a Boss LS-2 to deal with the blend. Got very close indeed.

Best buy a non wood Status then.

I prefer to play in power trio type bands if I can. More is often necessary and fun.

I imagine that if / when it happens it will be because valves are no longer economical to make / sell. Guitar forums are still full of people buying valve amps. Even those who use a modelling unit for gigging for ease of set up and FOH often still have a valve amp or 2 at home. I haven't gigged on guitar for ages, but when I do, I've got my Helix rack. But at home I've got a Marshall SC20H (Mini JCM800) just because I love it. High end amps like Friedmans and Diezel are still selling well and holding their value. Small builders like Rift are selling plenty. There are loads more useable 20W valve amps than there were a decade ago. Mesa stuff is an outlier. When Westside started jacking the UK prices the used ones stayed about the same. £3200 RRP for a Dual Rectifier Reborn - can buy a used one for £1000 to £1200 with a little patience. Amps are full of expensive components, but if Diezel can sell the VH4 (4 channels with Midi and phantom power) for £2500, then there is no good reason why the Dual Rec couldn't be under that. It's a more simple amp. I really like Mesa amps - but I'd never buy a new one. The only thing in the universe that has a higher level of depreciation after being used is a condom.

Price adjustment as I've seen Bass Direct have one at £600 £545 including delivery in the UK.
-
Another vote for the book. It's superb.
-
What's the weight like on the Electra models?
-
Aguilar 60s wind - the AG 4P-60 is a fantastic pickup. Proper old pickup that isn't boomy like many new "upgrades" with lovely mids. Love them!
-
I think a scratchplate might look better.
-
That Korg is shite. Happy to recommend an Akai MPD218 16 pads and easy to use.
-
No idea if they are the same but I've got the Mooer - The Mooer sounds just like my old Boss CE-2. So if you like a CE-2, then you'll like the Mooer.

Selling my Darkglass M900 amp. I’ve owned it since new and I got it in the very first week it was available having pre ordered it when it was announced. Its from the very first batch that has the famous “Darkglasss” with 3 s on the footswitch. It’s been gigged.... with a jazz band, 😂 Tiny bit of drive was great to cut through the wall of brass instruments. Does great cleans as well as the expected filth with the VMT and B3K drive circuits in it. Footswitch is for muting and turning the drive on and off. Theres a few marks on it but otherwise in good condition and it all works as it should. Comes with the slightly battered box, instructions, power cable, footswitch and the introduction letter that was hand signed in the first run. Even still has the sticker in the box. Price includes delivery in the U.K. £595 Ono Please feel free to make an offer. PRICE ADJUSTMENT: £545 delivered in the UK. Socially distanced collection from Northants is available. No trades as I’m raising cash. Thanks.

MXR on hold. -
ThorpyFX Fat General compressor version 1 A fantastic compressor. Simple parallel compression if you want it, or squeeze the whole lot. Manual: Only selling because I'm moving away from compressors in my bass rig and towards hard limiters instead. Velcro on the bottom. No box. Difference between v1 and v2 is that the V2 is smaller and cannot run on a battery. No other differences in case anyone is wondering. ****SOLD***** ___________________________________________________________________________ MXR Bass Envelope Filter (SOLD) Up until recently my absolute favourite filter. Works great on guitar as well, and unlike a lot of filters has a dry blend. Very easy to dial in and tons of range. Very good condition. Velcro on the bottom. ***SOLD AND GONE***

There was a band called Ten Men Wide from somewhere in Wales and their singer / bassist played an 8. They were a 3 piece and they sounded huge. Had some drive on the bass too and I imagine the octave string filled in a lot more harmonic content with the drive going. I'd really like an 8, but they are all to heavy for me.

There you go.

Video up. They use it direct too.
