  1. Keith bought my Yamaha guitar combo. We arranged to meet up for the handover, but unfortunately I had to decline his offer of a brew due to bizarre parking restrictions and my need to hoss on down to Bromley to pick up a cab from whynot. Subsequently it turned out that there was a problem with the amp which I wasn't aware of - Keith managed to get someone in France to sort out the issue, much to my relief - hope it sounds as good with the Joe Pass! A genuine diamond geezer - all too rare these days. Thanks, Keith.
  2. Put your pictures on Photobucket or flickr, use the IMG tags to get them to display here.
  3. [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1377599985' post='2189149'] ... often wondered what one would look like with an LED making the whole thing light up. [/quote] Bit like this, I expect - my friend Phil's handywork: http://www.ashbysoft.com/wiki/moin.cgi/IlluminatedGuitar
  4. If you're looking at the BH500, you should also talk to Mark at Bass Direct and see when he's going to get some more Genz Benz Contour combos in stock.
  5. How about a Zoom A3 ? http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/a3/
  6. I don't recall exactly what I used, sorry. Something that was lying around on the bench at the time. I did have to sand it down a bit to fit. I've just re-measured the gap and it's actually 1.6mm, so I've edited the post to reflect this.
  7. Thanks for the kind remarks and interest, though I think it was priced about right for the current market. Withdrawn for the time being.
  8. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1377414851' post='2187159'] That's shyte [/quote] Bit harsh. Looks like a professional jobbie to me.
  9. A strangely enigmatic response, tom1946 . Does this mean you're now the proud owner?
  10. Never used Dolphin. Had great service from both Andertons, and from Imuso who I see have now reverted to being musik-direkt.
  11. I think you're seriously limiting the options available by insisting on a headphone socket for practice. if you can find a lower-cost solution for that (maybe a Tascam BT2, a headphone amp like the Vox, even a very small practice amp), you'll get much more choice for a main gigging amp.
  12. I don't know the exact age of the unit. If you can tell me how to interrogate the unit and find out, I am happy to do so.There was a Boss leaflet in the box from 2002.. I've not updated the firmware and there don't appear to be any updates available from Roland, so I don't know whether this is possible.
  13. [quote name='Bikenbass' timestamp='1376832000' post='2179624'] Anyone taking a Precision and/or Jazz equipped with an East preamp? Seriously considering fitting one of these but I'd like to hear how much difference it really makes to the tone. [/quote] I have a P-Retro in my CIJ Precision, I can bring that if you like.
  14. EBS Evolution Neoline Pro 2x12 cab, 600W @ 4Ohm . Excellent condition, [b]£Sold[/b] This is up for sale so that I can make whynot an offer for his NDS 4x12 . If whynot's cab sells this will be withdrawn. Pics to follow.
  15. No Trades thank you - need to free up some space. Jim Reed Jazz bass copy. Jim Reed is a guitar-maker based in Italy - his guitars and basses were available on ebay for a time, I'm not sure if he's still in business or not. I bought this a few years ago to keep the kids away from my decent basses, and now they're all grown up and moving out it needs to find a new home. It has a nicely-figured 2-piece ash body with comfortable contours. The waxed finish doesn't show any dents. The neck is slim and true and plays very nicely and the pickups (made by Kent Armstrong) are good. The fingerboard extends to a 24th fret over the top strings (i was going to saw that off but never got around to it. Fingerboard is rosewood, dot markers and the logo on the headstock are inlaid with mother-of-plastic. The one issue with this bass is the neck pocket, which has an authentic '70's Fender gap on the 'G' string side of about 1.6mm . I've shimmed this and the neck is stable and doesn't move anywhere. I've tried to illustrate it in the picture. The sale includes a Fender Japan gig bag and a strap embroidered 'Jim Reed' [b][u]- Now sold[/u][/b] This bass can be collected from the Ipswich area or the South East Bass Bash.
  16. No trades thank you - looking for a sale to free up some space SGC Nanyo Bass Collection SB310 in metallic blue, 1995. I've owned this one for around 5 years. The preamp is in good condition, all controls work smoothly. It's generally in good condition and plays well, but there are a couple of small marks on the front, some buckle rash on the back and a small chip on the back of the neck, which doesn't affect how it plays. I've tried to show all this in the pictures - happy to supply more pictures if you wish. It's currently strung BEAD. If you want to put it back to standard tuning, I will include a blank nut and a set of lightly used 40 -100s. The bass comes in a serviceable Ritter gig bag. [b]£125 plus shipping.[/b] The bass can be collected from the Ipswich area or the South East bass bash. I may also be able to arrange a pickup in central London. That is a reflection on the top horn next to the 21st fret in the second picture, not a scratch. Apologies for the dust!
  17. No Trades, looking for a sale only. Novation XioSynth 25 for sale. In excellent condition including a Fusion gig bag, power supply, manual, disks and original box. This is a great little synth with a load of very useable pre-sets for bass and lead synth sounds, and lots of scope for programming your own sounds too. Now [b]£100 plus shipping.[/b] Can be collected from the Ipswich area or central London.
  18. No Trades, cash sale only. Yamaha G50-112 ii Guitar combo for sale. This is a 50W solid-state guitar combo with a 12" driver and a spring reverb which still works. It has a high and low input and a 2-stage preamp which is switchable. I bought it new in 1980 from Kennards Music in Canterbury. It is in good working order with a couple of cosmetic blemishes and a rather unpromising stain on the grill. One of the knob tops is missing but the original dual footswich to control the switching and reverb is included in the sale. [b]£75 [/b]collected from the Ipswich area or the South East bass bash. Shipping is also possible. Edit: Looks like this is on its way to a good home.
  19. No Trades please - Cash sales only. Roland V-Bass in excellent condition with original shipping box and manual. Also includes a used GK3B pickup with plenty of unused shims plus a working cable. [b]£Sold[/b] Rocktron Pulse tremelo pedal in excellent condition complete with original blister pack. [b]£50 + shipping[/b] Diago Showman pedal board, in good condition with only a few minor marks in the outer tolex. Price now [b]£Sold[/b] All these items can be collected from the Ipswich area or the South East Bass bash. May also be able to arrange a meet-up in central London.
