[color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Moving a few basses on (see others on here); this one hurts because it’s the most beautiful bass I’ve owned, especially with the cream neck binding. Oh well, anyway:[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is my 2006 Ibanez Roadgears RD900 AH. It’s in mint condition – no chips or dings. I bought it a few years ago as NOS from a Dutch store (since closed). The price tags and shop labels are still on it (including the price!).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It’s a lightweight ash body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard and Seymour Duncan pickups. The pickups are versatile, with singlecoil thump at the neck, humbucker at the back and anything in between (including a passive switch).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No issues with the bass; neck is straight and clean, everything working, no pot noises, etc. Can’t remember what the strings but they’re fairly new and still zingy.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]According to the serial, the bass was made at the World Plant, Korea on November, 2005, Production Number: 21 (it’s a 2006 model).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The price is [s]£325[/s] £300 (which is just mad).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I have no case and nothing I could ship her in, so it’s collection only from Spalding in Lincs, or I can arrange to meet in a triangle roughly between Grantham on the A1, Peterborough on the A1 south, and King’s Lynn in the east.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Not really into trades because I’m saving for a combination of 2 x single 12in cabs and a class D head. Cheers, SiH[/font][/color]

[color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is a 1980 Ibanez Roadster RS900 TV, recently set up, frets levelled and with new Warwick strings. Action is very low. No issues with the bass; neck is straight and clean, everything working, no pot noises, active p/u sounds like thunder but surprisingly versatile.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass in good shape for its age – no significant marks on the neck, a couple of chips through the lacquer on the bottom of the body, a chip in the bottom horn lacquer (you can’t see it or, obviously, feel it while playing) and various playing-related swirls etc.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It’s not a light instrument – I have no scales, but it’s substantial. The upside of this is aching tone and sustain for years.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]According to the serial the bass was made at the Terada Plant in September 1980 and is number 4358 (but someone told me it was, in fact, Fujigen).[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The price is [s]£350[/s] [s]£320[/s] £300 delivered. [/font][/color][color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I have an period case for the old girl, but it's very tatty. Nevertheless, I will arrange a courier and box the bass up safely - and label it accordingly. Collection from Spalding in Lincs would be preferred, or I can arrange to meet in a triangle roughly between Grantham on the A1, Peterborough on the A1 south, and King’s Lynn in the east. I also travel a fair bit and can get down the A1, around London and to Kent with a week's notice.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Not really into trades.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers, Simon H[/font][/color]

Hi, this still for sale? PMd.

Me too!

Final bump before giving up.

...and up!

Up.

<grumbles to self... bought this only a few years ago for £350...>

Up agin.

Markbass gear — about as fashionable as a mullet. Bump again. Come and get it. Coffee and biscuits await.

Bump

Splitting up my Markbass rig and letting my 151HR cab go because I've decided to let the PA do the work and shifting air on stage just annoys drummers, keyboard players etc. So it's surplus to requirements. It's an Italian-made 15in cab, 8ohm and 400w. Full working order, not been used a great deal, never been pushed in my time with it (three years), cloth finish un-torn but plastic corners are scuffed (not cracked) and the tweeter adjuster on the side has a bit of wear on the labelling. But, basically, it's a tidy, used cab. Collection please, based just east of Spalding in Lincs, can drive it to meet you anywhere from Boston, Stamford, Peterborough, Wisbech, King's Lynn areas. Here's the current spec: [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=30"]http://www.markbass....etail.php?id=30[/url]

Will ship only reluctantly, and then only if you organise and pay for it! Sorry, but I'm too busy to do much more than box it up and stick a label on it 😊

Bump and price drop, after which they go back upstairs. You never know, the keyboard player might accidentally have his fingers broken. Especially those on his left hand.

Bump and price drop (a set just sold on eBay for £259, so thought I'd better come down a bit)...

I weep. That is stunning.

[s]Roland PK-5A Dynamic MIDI Bass Pedals - price drop Price: £275 now £250 now £225 Very clean (basically mint) and fully functional Roland PK-5A midi pedals, used once at a gig, then replaced by a keyboard player. Perfect for adding bass or synth parts in a trio (when connected to a synth/module/laptop etc), or even using them to trigger complete multi-part chord arrangements (using a DAW) – for example, playing brass section parts. Or, if you’re up to it, that whole Geddy Lee thing. 13-note span, 13 levels of touch sensitivity (even with your feet!), nine-octave transpose range, huge variety of performance options, including switching between bass, poly drums and SFX modes, Hold mode, Double mode, Retrigger mode etc. Can be used mono or poly mode. Basically, a scary range of uses. Roland’s blurb: [i]The Roland PK-5 Dynamic MIDI Pedal bass note pedalboard lets you play a variety of sounds from any external MIDI device, leaving your hands free to play your favorite musical instrument. The Roland PK-5 puts the excitement and versatility to live bass performance with full MIDI control within reach of any musician. Easy one-foot operation gives you complete command over four separate Performance modes, letting you play bass lines as well as harmonies, drums and percussion sounds, or even sound effects. And the PK-5’s impressive MIDI Controller Mode enable you to control virtually any MIDI function in live performance. Add exciting new dimensions to your instrumental performances with the versatile Roland PK-5 Dynamic MIDI Pedal.[/i] Unboxed, but I might be able to find something, and the psu is a general purpose item. No midi leads. Manual can be downloaded here: [url="http://cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/PK-5_OM.pdf"]http://cdn.roland.co...pdf/PK-5_OM.pdf[/url] Collection much preferred for everyone’s sake, from South Lincs. Can meet up anywhere from Stamford/Peterborough/King’s Lynn/Boston areas. But can use DPD courier if buyer bears the cost/risk (although I’ve always found them to be excellent). No trades please, seriously, don't tempt me! [attachment=213090:pedals3.jpg][attachment=213091:pedals2.jpg][attachment=213092:pedals1.jpg][/s]

...<checks piggybank, thinks he could always sell one... or go in stereo...!>...

I bought an Akai Unibass a couple of weeks ago; push it through a Digitech guitar multifx with chorus/delay/reverb etc, and into a guitar amp. After a few pints at a trio gig it not only fattened the overall sound and filled in for lead breaks, it even made it through a couple of tracks as the main guitar. Which was weird, but cool. Anyway, I'd love to compare the two pedals. Don't suppose you've ever tried the Akai?
