Just received a Steinberger Sprit from Steve, he is a thoroughly decent chap to deal with and made the shipping process as simple as it could be. The bass is spotless as described and was excellently packed up for a safe delivery. Thanks Steve, Angus.

You wait for one Roland Micro Cube Bass RX combo then two come along! If you missed out on Tradfusions earlier, here is another one, little use recently so has to go. Great little amp with built in tuner and effects to boot. Post/Courier at cost or collect from Weston-super-Mare. https://postimg.org/gallery/1zb8qoy8k/

Early 80s (I think) Kramer 450B. Aluminium neck with wooden inserts, twin pickups with black factory plastic surrounds. Beautiful looking instrument with great tone and sustain. I imagine this was originally a fretted version but the de-fret has been done to a high standard with white inlays. Low action and easy to play, something a little different and unlike most Kramers you see advertised, it is realistically priced to sell. Comes with a period Kramer case and one or two spares. Condition is good but not immaculate, this has been well used but not abused. It was previously fitted with a thumb rest and the screw holes are still evident as are one or two dings in the clear finish which I have tried to show in the photos. Located in Weston-super-Mare, this for collection preferably. https://postimg.org/gallery/nlwqm238/

Little used Squier Bronco in bright red with white scratch plate. Good condition but will likely need a set up and strings as these are two years old. Still has the protective plastic film on the scratch plate but has the odd small ding and scratch which I have tried to show in the photos. Located in Weston-super-Mare, I would prefer collection but will courier at buyers risk. https://postimg.org/gallery/1pmptqhck

Kramer 450B switch

I have used both Mac and PC machines over the last 23 years as a professional designer and illustrator. I can honestly say that I have found no real difference in reliability between them. I have always commissioned bespoke PC builds rather than buying off the shelf, that way you get what you want and can buy the best components available at the time. A bespoke PC will still be cheaper than an equivalent Mac. I currently use a top end imac running Parallels and a Bespoke PC for some jobs. Both work well, are fast and stable. Historically, the only problems I have had have been hard drive failures, on a Mac G4, a PC and a recent warranty replacement on the hard drive on an iMac. My business partner has had hard drive, screen and disk drive failures on the same spec imac bought at the same time, from the same supplier, so I think reliability is largely down to luck! Macs look great but you pay for it.

My memory of Kay from the late seventies and early eighties was that they were terrible catalogue instruments and not something that anyone would want to remember! A case of cashing in on the rose tinted first bass spectacles perhaps (if there is such a thing as first bass spectacles, I may be thinking of something else altogether).

Kramer 450B switch

Here we have a set of Schaller M4 machine heads for sale. These have the older position for the mounting lugs, these are are getting difficult to find these days. They are not in great shape but are better than nothing if you don't have any! Three of them have slightly bent shafts but work, the fourth has one side of the string post broken off and a bent shaft, but was in service on a Kramer 450B until recently. The knobs are a little tarnished with some bubbling in the chrome but look the part for an older bass? I am advised by Schaller that the string post can be repaired or replaced but this requires removal of the pressed-in cover to remove the part. Thanks for looking, Angus.

Here we have an original switch for a Kramer 450B from the late 1970s or early 1980s. I had a local engineer turn up a new switch tip in aluminium which is threaded and fits but needs final shaping as it needs to be a little more pointed. If you do not have access to a lathe, this could be achieved using a little emery cloth or fine file if the tip was mounted in a drill to spin it. The switch is the correct Switchcraft type and has its original flanged mounting bezel? I am looking for £20.00 for this switch. Thanks for looking. Angus.

Here we have a set of Schaller M4 machine heads, 2+2 layout in chrome. I bought these to supply a replacement string post for an earlier M4 but I have managed to find an original set in America so these are for sale. I do not have any screws for these (one per tuner) but all the sleeve nuts and washers are present. In excellent used condition, I am looking for £30 + postage. Regards, Angus.

I have used this technique to bring a Kramer 450B back from a very rough matt look finish done by the previous owner. I used a very fine grade wire wool to get a really flat surface and then cutting compound/t-cut on a polishing mop to bring back the shine to a level I was happy with.

Just saw this on Ebay USA. Unusual the see a Kramer being stripped and sold for parts, the body is also available from the same seller. If you need a Kramer aluminium neck they don't come along to often. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Kramer-Aluminum-Bass-Neck-1977-450B-/330870778058?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4d096f68ca&_uhb=1

Kramer Focus 420S is going to sell on Ebay in a couple of hours so make an offer now if you want it. The Kramer 420S is a full sized bass and is relatively light weight so an ideal transition from a beginners short scale. It is broadly a 'P' bass format with the body is finished in two tone sunburst and is in good condition with the odd mark as you expect from a used instrument. I do not think it has had much use. The neck is maple or similar with a rosewood fretboard. The truss rod is free to turn and will tighten further if need be. The hardware is finished in black and is all in good working condition. I bought this for my Son to learn on but it is too big so he now has a Squier Bronco which suits much better. It is on Ebay but I would rather it went to someone one Basschat if anyone has need of a cheap starter bass. I am in Weston-super-Mare but will post/courier at cost if you like.
