    Darn! You beat me to it!

    Whats the make, model etc of the bass? Is the jack loose? Does it need a new battery? How far are the pickups from the strings? Is the amp OK? Is the lead OK?

    Spooky....I got done by a seller at the start of the year....for a set of DR Neon whites! All got resolved as I'd paid by Paypal and got my money back. The mods here were very swift to follow up and the guy was quickly relegated to the ex-member bin. I hope this is just a hiccup in communication and gets sorted for you quickly.

    I'm amazed that no-one has asked if the Mars bar is in perfect condition or if it has been [s]re-licked[/s] reliced!

    Hey Basic5, Well spotted! Actually I had cut and paste from one of my other threads and didnt change the preamp type. I double checked tonight and the preamp isn't an Aguilar but is a Bartolini NTMB 918F and is 18v.....oops! I bought the bass second hand in its current configuration in the USA and assumed everything was standard. After looking at a few other Basics on the net the bridge looks very similar with the exceptions of the sides of the base plate not being raised. There are also other basics with the same bridge as mine so it may be a slight production change? It has a dual truss rod neck and is serial number 4844.

    Heres my Korg M1 keyboard which I have owned for about 10 years. Its in pretty clean condition for its age with only a few scratches to the bottom / lower sides of the casing from it being moved around. I'm not a keyboard player so cannot vouch for every sequencing / recording element of it working. All the buttons and on board sounds seem to work fine. I bought it second hand and have only used it as a midi controller for Cubase! Looking for £125 plus shipping. It only has a soft case but would be wrapped extraordinarily well for protection I will try and get better pics in the next couple of days.

    Looking for [s]£1,450[/s] [color=#FF0000][b]£1,250[/b][/color] plus shipping For sale or trade is my original USA made Tobias Basic 5 string. Although they named the range "Basic" these basses are anything but basic! Not to be confused with the Toby or Killer budget range of basses. Lovely bass, but I’m selling a few basses as I'm looking for a change…… I would give it a 8.5 / 10 for condition. As you can see from the photos there are some lacquer cracks on the edges, mainly around the jack socket area. Everything else is good and working fine. 18 volt electronics Neck through laminate construction of maple and purple heart String spacing at bridge 17mm Nut width 45mm Scale length 34” Rosewood fretboard Black hardware Body wings are made from Zebrano Bartolini NTMB 918F - Vol (pull for passive), pan, 3 band EQ with 2 position mid selector switch. 2 Bartolini pickups Straploks Side fret markers Weight 9.5lbs I comes complete with hard case. Trade wise I'm pretty much sorted for basses at the moment but ones I could be interested in are Fodera Emperor, Mayones Jabba, JCR CM or ST, Sei Flamboyant etc. It would need to be a 5 string with active electronics, 24 frets and strangely enough I do like a highly figured wood top.

    I would be very interested in the bass, but it would cost me another £500+ to get to Corsica just to try it out Bump for a lovely bass!

    Demeter do excellent amps. I have the rackmount HBP1-800D pre/power setup. I use it mainly with my Barefaced Big Twin T (2 x 12, 1 x 6 and tweeter). Oh MY! As you say you can hear yourself without having to crank the volume. I've had mine at nearly half vol. and that was loud enough. Plenty of headroom and clear as anything.

    Withdrawn - I've been playing it over the last couple of months and have decided its too good to go......for now The summer sun must have affected my brain and prompted a price drop, now £1,650 For sale or trade is my original USA made Warrior Signature Custom 5 string. I've not seen another one either like it or to this level of spec. There are lots of lovely touches such as the inlaid "W" between the neck and the pick-up and the MOP along the edges of the headstock. Lovely bass, but I’m selling a few basses as I'm looking for a change…… I would give it a 9.5 / 10 for condition. No major dints or marks that I can see only some slight surface “swirls” which I couldn’t get to photograph! Neck through laminate construction of maple and purple heart String spacing at bridge 18mm Nut width 48mm Scale length 34” Rosewood fretboard Gold hardware Ash body with an amazing spalted maple top. Aguilar OBP3 preamp 9 volt - Vol (pull for passive), pan, 3 band EQ with 2 position mid selector switch. Knurled knobs with MOP tops. 2 Bartolini pickups Neutrik locking jack Straploks Edge fret markers and front MOP "blocks" Weight 9.5lbs I comes complete with fitted Warrior original hard case. Trade wise I could be interested in are Fodera Emperor, Sadowsky M5. My feedback links are in my signature below.

    [b]SOLD[/b] For sale or trade is my original USA made Skjold '92 Custom 5 string. Lovely bass and I have enjoyed our time together but I’m looking for a change…… I would give it a 9.5 / 10 for condition. No dints or marks that I can see only some slight surface “scratches” which I couldn’t get to photograph! 5 piece bolt on neck laminate construction of maple and purple heart String spacing at bridge currently 17mm (can be adjusted 16 to 18mm) Nut width 48mm Scale length 35” Ebony fretboard Black Hipshot hardware Ash body with an amazing maple top. I don't know the technical term for it (flamed / curly etc.) but it sure is purdy and looks like caramel! East/Skjold Preamp 9 volt - See the pic below for full explanation (its not a pic of my bass but explains the pre amp well). Volume (pull passive mode) Pan (4 position - neck, both parallel, both series, bridge) Treble (cut / boost, pull for ultra hi frequency boost) Mid (sweepable mids with cut / boost) Bass (cut / boost) Passive tone 2 Skjold dual coil pickups Neutric locking jack Edge fret markers Weight 9lbs It comes complete with fitted Skjold reinforced gig bag New this would be about £3,600 plus import tax etc. Have a look at some of the Pete Skjolds work here: [url="http://www.skjolddesign.com"]http://www.skjolddesign.com[/url] Trade wise I'm pretty much sorted for basses at the moment but ones I could be interested in are Fodera Emperor, Mayones Jabba, JCR CM or ST, Sei Flamboyant etc. It would need to be a 5 string with active electronics, 24 frets and strangely enough I do like a highly figured wood top.

    [i]... after seeing the Youtube clip from Babicz, the contact points are the very small grub screws....[/i]The strings sit on a cam which sits in full contact with the bridge body not raised up on grub screws. [i]........ at flat out gig volumes with the drummer hammering away and two guitars blaring out with a singer, subtle nuances of bass tone are [s]kind of lost[/s] OBLITERATED if you get my drift...[/i]Amended for accuracy [i]'Yes, I can really tell you are using the ash bodied Stingray tonight as opposed to the alder one'.. Hmmmmm[/i]. - See note above....lol [i]Are Babicz bridges just snake oil or actually a real step forward as far as bass bridge design is concerned for the better ?? [/i] I have had a Babicz bridge on a couple of different basses (Fender 5 and Roscoe LG 5) and really like the design for their ease of adjustment and ability to lock the settings in place. As far as tonal differences, I couldn't detect any percievable difference when isolated in a quiet room......YMMV.....once the drummer had completed his 4 count.....not a chance!

    Roger that Neepheid. If the operation is to be clandestine how are we "units" to identify ourselves? I propose the traditional secret signal of purchasing refreshments then nonchalently moving in a stageward direction for final location in front of the low frequency oscillation supplier. This, along with the requisite concentrated gazing at aforementioned equipment should afford those "units in the know" to be able to identify themselve to each other using the universal "noddin' of't heid" and hushed passwords "Is that a Victory?"

    I think it would make a great "moo-sical" instrument........coat got :-)

    Cruel....tempting us then taking it away.....

    Hi Alexandre, Lovely looking bass (I must resist!! ) It might help your advert if you say where you are based so people can estimate shipping / pick-up costs. Also does it come with a hard case? As you are a new member do you have any feedback from other bass sites, Ebay etc that can give confidence in the transaction? Good luck with the sale.
  22. Acebassmusic
    If its "liftability" you need then I would look at passive speakers and seperate power amp. Each item will then be a lighter load and it gives you more options on speaker / amp combinations.

    I've had this problem for ages with IE11.....I can read posts but not able to respond, copy, paste or add pics. I have to change over to Google Chrome and then everything is fine.
