    The Blackstar mini bass always looked quite nifty to me: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Blackstar-Carry-On-Travel-Bass-Guitar-ST-White/5GY5

    It’s a copy of Mark Sandman’s bass, which was a 4 string with only 2 strings on it, so it’s quite accurate in that regard.

    I have a 2011 SR5 and the three sounds are quite distinctive. When the switch is back toward the bridge, the pickup coils are wired in parallel. The sound is slightly scooped or hollow. This is the classic Stingray tone as produced by the 4 strings. Toward the neck gives you the coils in series, a powerful punchy tone that I find the most useful one. And on post 2008 models, the middle position is series wiring plus a filter, which to my ears rolls off the top end and slightly accentuates the bottom. It’s a sort of vintage series sound. There’s no single coil mode after 2008.

    Mark Sandman tuned his in a fifth, D and A, and used a slide. A fantastic, unique sound and brilliant band.

    There is a Sire 6-string lefty. Quite pricey by their standards. https://www.andertons.co.uk/sire-f10-left-handed-6-string-natural-satin/

    Sad to hear this. I used to frequent their Llanishen store in my school lunch hours. Another Cardiff store I remember was the Sound Centre, who had a white lefty Rickenbacker bass in their window for several years circa 1980. Unfortunately I had no way of raising the required £400.

    Fat Beams will retain the feel of your round core Sunbeams and give you more of the sound you’re after. I loved them on my Fender Jazz Bass.

    That’s normal for the older Fender shaped T models. The redesign moved the battery box to behind the lower horn. That happened in 2015, I think. Here’s an example of the old model: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/sandberg-california-jm4-green-metallic-2009-pre-owned/

    John East 4-knob pre amp? Supposed to give you the original MM 2 band tones plus a sweepable mid. https://www.east-uk.com/product/mmsr-4-knob-3-band/?v=7885444af42e

    For sale is my Tone Hammer 500. This is a great amp with a warm, tube-like tone. I bought it new about 8 years ago and it's had regular, though not heavy use - approx. one gig a month - and always been well looked after. In great condition, with one minor scratch on the top, seen in the photos. Packed in the original box, with mains lead and instructions. Complete with the Aguilar carrying bag in very good condition. £500 including UK postage.

    Viktor bought my Source Audio C4. Great communications, fast payment and overall a smooth and enjoyable transaction. Trade with confidence!

    For sale is my Line 6 HX One. This offers the full set of approximately 250 Helix effects in one compact pedal, but only allows the use of one effect at a time. It's very easy to use, with a well thought out UI. Editing, saving and recalling presets is simple. The Flux function allows you to switch between two sets of parameters for a loaded preset, which gives more flexibility the you might expect. There's also a basic but effective tuner, accessible from the foot switches. You can control it via MIDI, and also connect additional external foot switches, although I have never explored those features myself. I used this as a single pedal for quite a few gigs where I just needed a chorus, distortion or octaver for one or two songs. Others use it as a replacement for several rarely used pedals on a larger board. I was impressed enough by the Helix effects to upgrade to a HX Stomp, hence the sale. In excellent condition. Supplied in box, with power supply. £170 including UK postage.

    For sale is my Keeley Bassist, a highly rated, transparent and easy to use compressor. Excellent condition. Supplied in box, £120 including UK postage.

    There are some genuine looking reviews on Facebook, all positive. I think they sound interesting, maybe worth a punt for something of moderate value.
