I had a brand new one and despite looking lovely it was unplayable junk. No amount of fettling could get the action anywhere near an acceptable height and it sounded dreadful. Shame. It was returned to the shop.

For years I ran a punch factory at the start of my chain to subtly even things out going into the pedals and a cs2 at the end to take away any peaks from various pedals, all ending up in a noise gate. It worked well.

I used to have the R5 kickback combo, I mostly used it up front next to the monitors as I was running a mahoosive trace rig and playing big places back then, but the R5 did have the odd outing as a stand alone. Lovely sounding thing, weighed a ton though! I always liked laney amps.

Bit random. There was a bunch of Americans and an old guy getting into us. Halfway through the old guy steps up and thrusts a number into my hand and says, “You’re incredible, the best bass player I’ve ever seen, I want you on my new album, call me.” It was the guitarist from Mott the Hoople. random

I special ordered a bespoke one from an eBay seller years back who had hundreds of parts. I think they were called slonk18. It was all a bit controversial

I don't have packing for it, or time or emotional capacity to sort it sadly. At the moment I’ll consider trades and offers. But would have to be collection or a meet relatively close. It’s just sitting bagged up in a corner at the minute. If it’s still here once the stuff I’m going through gets easier then I’ll probably take it out and enjoy it again. But for now it has memories associated with it I’d rather forget. -

Didn’t ever expect to be selling this.. ever. But Car and personal stuff means it has to go. The pics do most of the talking! These were very expensive new and this has had a lot of work done to it over the past year. It had a pro set up at ATB guitars and sports a customised Bartolini preamp from Dex audio with a very narrow range that just keeps it all super useable in the real world. Controls are: volume, bass, treble, with a pull for low mid boost and a switch for each pickup to toggle between series/parallel/single coil It has an almost Stingray ish sound from the humbuckers and is surprisingly warm and rich. Neck is slim and flat, like a jazz bass meets a status, the most comfy neck I’ve ever owned. (In Over 300 basses!!) The balance is spot on and the truss works fine etc. its collection only from Cheltenham, no postage possible at all I’m afraid. £700 or offers There are minor marks, mostly on the back and the weight is super light, just shy of 7lbs

As part of my ‘My car is dying’ sell off, I’m reluctantly listing this gorgeous ray 24. What a bass!! Sounds like a ray, feels like a ray (has a narrower neck though). Weighs 9.5lbs, the same as my jazz bass. The neck is silky and satin smooth and lightly flamed which is nice. The body is lovely with its transparent finish, there’s basically no marks on it, it’s mint. sadly Collection from Cheltenham only. I’ll chuck in a new white scratchplate too. £400.

Bit gutting this, but my car is not long for this world and to raise funds to get something newer I have to be brutal. I’m going to be listing a fair bit of stuff I never thought I’d sell this summer, (maybe even my blue GMR!) But I’m starting here with The SR500 I saved. (There’s a thread somewhere). Bought as parts and covered in black gunk, this was a brilliant project and my main gigging bass for the past 18 months. you can see/hear it here: It only weighs six pounds! Bartolini ntb preamp, no issues, no drama, low action, truss rod works, sounds great, has older elixirs at present. Rustic, scruffy burnt finish that I upkeep with lemon oil. Some screws or nails embedded between the pickups where a ramp was - covered them with a ramp but that’s on another bass now. They look cool and don’t stick out. Just a very cool bass. £200 firm, collected only from Cheltenham. No postage. Sorry. Backplate is made from balsa wood, preamp is less than a year old new from bass direct.

Yes, about 12 ish years ago I somehow ended up fronting a band on vocals and guitar, despite really only having very rudimentary knowledge of power chords etc. I’m a decent bass player, but a way below average guitarist, having never wanted to play the skinny stringed version - I was a bassist from day one. Ironically, we went on to play hundreds of gigs for over a decade and many folks locally still know me more as a singer and guitarist than as a bassist to this day! Although I only really play bass again now and the odd acoustic chord bash gig.

Cort Bass with stuck truss rod / spoke wheel
gafbass02 replied to daws0n's topic in Repairs and Technical
I had a GB modern that only liked the truss being moved without string tension. -
Sei flamboyant headless 4. Sadly I’ll never justify spending that much on a bass.
