It's still avaliable

Up for grabs is my Source Audio C4, it's in excellent condition and comes with the original box and all the accessory cables etc. Purchased from new around 6 months ago. Velcro on the bottom. Unfortunately this isn't getting used anywhere near it's full potential and I need to free up some funds so it needs to go. Looking for £175 delivered to your door, or pickup in Leeds. Let me know if you have any questions

Yeah it's just electrical tape, should have mentioned that!

Sure is! Just a shade under 8 lbs, not bad for a P

It works much like the 'vintage tone control' that Sadowsky have in their preamps. The treble of the preamp cuts (or boosts) at a certain frequency, whereas the tone knob will just roll off anything above a frequency. In practice, you could roll off the treble knob to get a mild treble cut and retain more mids (to my ears), or use the tone knob to get a 'deeper' more traditional treble roll off, both while allowing the bass to be boosted if you wanted. I hope that makes sense!

Hi all, I'm selling my Human Base Roxy B5 to make space for an incoming Maruszczyk, so I need to free up some funds! This is a lovely, resonant, and surprisingly versatile bass! The pickup switching and EQ is really powerful and it's pretty hard to get a bad sound. The low B is solid and strong. This is a pretty reluctant sale and will be sorely missed! - Swamp Ash Body - Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard - 24 frets and 34" scale - Nut width 45 mm - Highly adjustable string spacing at the bridge (can go from just under 17mm to just over 19mm) - Delano Xtender pickup - Series/parallel/single coil switch - Active Glockenklang 3-Band Preamp (treble knob is tone control in passive mode) - zero-fret - Gotoh 350 res-o-lite tuners - 4kg (8.8 lbs) on my luggage scales with great balance seated or on a strap The condition is pretty good, there are some minor scratches on the pickguard and a little buckle rash on the back, but it's hard to see due to the finish. Comes with a padded Human Base gig bag. I'm looking for £750 inc. UK postage. Happy to drive up to an hour away from Leeds to meet a potential buyer. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi all, I'm selling this lovely Sandberg Electra bass as I will have a Maruszczyk incoming soon, so I need to free up some funds. I got this last year from @Raslee who had it from new, and it's still in excellent condition! It has a jazz width (37mm) neck which is incredibly comfortable to play, zero fret and can easily get a lovely low action. Since I've had the bass, I've made a couple of upgrades - I added some of Sandberg's own super light tuners which are incredibly smooth and have knocked the weight down to just under 8 lbs on my luggage scales and great balance on a strap or seated. The preamp now has active/ passive bypass, with a passive tone control that works in active and passive mode. The original 2 band bass and treble from the preamp have been moved to a stacked knob. It has Sandberg's own P pickup which is great, I felt no need to upgrade this at all! I 3D printed my own thumb rest which can be easily removed if desired. This is an insane instrument for the money, I was blown away by how good it is at this price point! I'm looking for £450 inc. UK postage. Happy to drive up to an hour away from Leeds to meet a potential buyer. Comes with a padded gig bag. Let me know if you have any questions I'll include the link to the original listing (condition is the same!).

PM'd you

Hi all, I'm selling my workhorse of a Mexican Fender Precision bass! I brought this new in 2018 and tested six different P basses in the shop at the time, including the newly introduced player series. Out of the bunch, this one was the most resonant and lively sounding, so it came home with me! It has an Alder body and maple neck and fingerboard. Since then it's had a number of upgrades as follows: - Delano PMVC 4FE/M2 pickup - Hipshot HB7 tuners - Fender hi-mass brass bridge - Luminlay side dots professionally installed - Fret level and dress professionally done last year - Custom 3D printed thumb rest (designed and manufactured myself) - Comes with two different tort pickguards and one that's matte black (see pics) This is a killer bass for the price, the Delano pickup has a pretty hot output and always sounds great in the mix in all styles. It plays really well and the neck profile isn't too chunky, more slim and flat, the nut width is 40mm. The thumb rest can be removed easily as it's only held on by the pickguard mounting screws. It's in good condition, there are a few cosmetic marks on the bottom of the body and your standard mark on the top of the headstock, but I struggled to find anything else worth mentioning. No issues with the neck or truss rod. The bass weighs 4 kg (8.82 lbs) and balances very well seated or on a strap. I'm looking for £450 for this bass. I can ship in a chunky soft case within the UK, although collection from Leeds or meet up half way would be preferred. Please message me if you have any questions

Thanks for the kind words gents! It was very interesting comparing the Atelier and the Sadowsky Metro back to back, definitely in the same ballpark build quality wise but tonally different beasts! To my ears, the Sadowsky was more rounded and polite, but you could dial in some aggression with that wonderful pre-amp, whereas the Atelier was definitely more punchy and ballsy. Both fantastic instruments depending on what kind of jazz bass 'flavour' you're after, but it's also possible to dial in some similar tones, they are both jazz basses after all!
