Telecaster guitar
thatgrantboy replied to thatgrantboy's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Haha my firefox gave in, so I had to re-upload. They are now -
With a ton of spare time I had recently, I bought and assembled/built this Telecaster, which now has to go to make space on my wall, and money in my pocket. It's absolutely stunning! It'll be a shame to see it go as I've not actually used it for more than one song in my bedroom. Unsure of the body material, but I'm pretty sure it ISN'T ply, as its a chunky weight on it! Just labelled as "hardwood". Maple board on maple neck with black dot markers. One volume knob, one tone knob, 3 way selector switch. Twangs like a Telecaster, and the neck feels really nice to play on. I'm not particularly sure what else to say on the matter, just let the pictures do the talking. I obviously wish to make my money back on this, so I'm looking for £100, excluding postage (postage can be negotiated, or it can be picked up!) Pics below:

Will check that out for you as soon as I can! I can give you a full-build weight now if that helps? Via my bathroom scales, the whole thing built up weighs 8.5lbs -
SOLD!

Topic moved from Wanted section, so now my precision body and neck are both for sale! -
Save making a new topic, I'll just necro-bump this. It's still for sale! Someone take if off my hands?

PMd you...hope I'm not too late!

[s]I've got a natural finish body and all-maple neck p-bass build that I'd like to pull all the parts out of, and drop into a different body and neck. I got my body and neck off two different basschat users some time back, but now I'd like a change. Both are in good condition, but have a very used sort of feel to them. It's fantastic, and I've loved using it, but I fancy a change (yet want to keep my pickups, electrics etc). No parts are included (ie tuners, neckplates etc) as they'll all be going onto a different body and neck! I'll get better pictures soon too. Prices: Neck: £40 Body: £35 Prices excluding p&p. If you want both together, I'll knock a fiver off and work out the combined postage [/s]

Big pedal sale - Check first post. Updated 22/4/13
thatgrantboy replied to badgerific's topic in Effects For Sale
If you're remotely interested in these fuzz pedals, I'd REALLY recommend them! I bought the yellow-splatter one (though the rest all have the same internals of course), and its bloody cracking! A really good buy, and a nice, rather warm but manipulable fuzzzzz tone. Mmmmmm...fuzzzyyy. -
Mike's a cracking bloke to deal with! And local too, which I hadn't realised til now! Bought one of his home-made one-knob fuzz pedals, and he's currently building me a unique little custom pedal. Great discussions, very accommodating and a really quick poster too. Great bloke.
-
I've been stripping mine back down to the bare finish this past weekend, orbital sander and a dremel came in handy to cover the large surfaces and the smaller, less reachable areas. I've since been applying Danish oil to give it a warmer look and feel.
-
In a matter of seconds, Jack kindly posted out a Levy's strap to me, receiving it the next day, and simply asking for a little donation to BC, which I kindly obliged. Quick, efficient, great bloke.

Any advances on a possible date for the amp?
-
Finally got my grubby little mitts on his wonderful bronco/musicman conversion jobby bass guitar. Darn its nice, and he's a cracking bloke to deal with! Really friendly not to mention a good packer of basses in boxes!

[quote name='henry norton' post='1286089' date='Jun 29 2011, 09:18 AM']Yes that's because the Harrier neck is a 21 fret neck whereas the Mighty Mite is a 20. You will probably have to move the bridge - it's best to move it anyway as you won't have the full adjustability for intonation otherwise. I would measure the original neck from the nut to the end of the neck, do the same to the new neck, work out the difference and hey presto, that's how far you move the bridge back![/quote] What an oversight! Totally took it for granted there were the same amount of frets when typing up my reply earlier on
-
I'm no expert, but I cant see why not. As long as the heel fits in the neck pocket, and you've got the correct scale length from nut to bridge, you'd be fine! And in terms of what i've just said, that leaves you open to a lot of combinations! (apart from, obviously, sticking a different scale neck on there. Unless you want to move your bridge to accommodate that aswell!)
-
Even if you do need to drag your bridge closer to the neck, the bridge will cover the existing holes (if you don't fill them before a respray/polish etc) anyway
-
I'm not sure how far off it'll be (and how much allowance you have) but with the length difference, you may be able to get away with it on the amount your bridge saddles will travel. I found the easiest way to check (after many close calls similar to this on several of my own projects) is put the new neck in the pocket, tight as you can (as if its bolted on) then, with the bridge screwed onto the body (a screw at either end is fine) whip your measuring tape out. Pull the tape out to 34" (the scale length) and put the 34" mark at the nut, then see where the end of the tape lands at over your bridge. You obviously need the saddles of your bridge to be touching the end of the tape, for your entire bass to be intonated properly (of course apart from minor tweaks). But if the saddles reach the tape, you know you've got the minimum allowance there. Hope this helps

Reverse photos! One Two And its a beaut, isn't it?

I saw that 4x10 as I was browsing through the Trace Porn thread, and noticed I think it's exactly the same head as mine. It gives a beautiful tone to be fair And its really boomy! It's now something like 3rd in line in terms of rigs though. Not that I DO want to sell it, I've just never known the value as I salvaged it from a pub many a year ago. They were throwing ALL the gear out that was there, including loads of PA speakers, light etc. This was amongst it! It was in an absolute state when I had it, so I set about restoring it (sort of!), thus building a new cab for it, tolexing it etc all myself. So sentimentally, its worth a lot to me.

I'll get onto that tonight!

Hopefully this is the right place to post this.... I've got a darn lovely Trace Elliot GP1115 combo that I rehoused not so long ago. Just this weekend I had it back from a good servicing, with resistors, diodes, fuses etc being serviced and/or replaced, so it runs like a beaut. I was just looking to find how much you all think the value of this would be, should I come to sell it etc? Photos are below. Before: After (now): Head is a GP11, and speaker is a Trace Elliot 15", combining to give 150w. I can't find any decent (read:accurate) info online, and I'm reeallly not sure of the year...I think its something like a 1984 one. Perhaps you could all help me with that too? As I'm sure there are a LOT more experienced TE owners amongst us! (and probably someone who has owned/currently owns this same amp). Cheers

Sold Gary a 15" speaker cabinet a week ago. Met up with him in Cardiff to pass it on - great bloke. Really friendly chap, and had a good ol' chinwag about the local music scene! Great transaction

Thats £45 posted

[s]Bought this wah off basskit_case not so long ago, and its been really fun! Unfortunately, it was taking up a fair chunk of space on my relatively small board, and I wasn't (aren't) using it often enough to justify keeping it! Soooo it's up for sale! I bought it off him for £45 (including postage), so that's how much I want back for it. Price is firm. Comes boxed (no instructions - available online). Pics (bloody shedloads of 'em) all in basskit_case's Flickr here: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/48911058@N02/"]http://www.flickr.co...s/48911058@N02/[/url] Thanks to him for taking so many great photos, showing the exact condition of this. I made one very small mod (if you can call it that) to the pedal, by removing the sponge things under the rubber feet at the top of the pedal ([url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/48911058@N02/5596020895/in/photostream"]you can see them in place in this pic[/url]). It means instead of (as I found) pushing down hard etc but no engagement of the effect, you can now simply click it down and wah to your hearts content, then click it off again. Nothing major really, but very effective [/s]

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1279498' date='Jun 23 2011, 11:50 AM']I'm surprised people still buy cases like the one in the OP, given that you can get a Hiscox (which, to be blunt, is a 'proper' case) for seventy quid...[/quote] I think thats part of the problem to be honest, for custom flight case manufacturers. Saying that, I had a flight case made by [url="http://www.dragoncases.co.uk"]http://www.dragoncases.co.uk[/url] some years back, and while it may've cost a bit more than the off-the-shelf types, they were cracking guys to deal with! (not to mention their end product was faultless).
