Thanks for all the interest. All PMs replied to. BSY600 and BSW now sold subject to the usual, the rest still available. Sorry for the less-than instant reply to PMs - I don't have access to basschat from work and don't usually get home until late.

[b]Yamaha SBV 500[/b], metallic blue colour with matching headstock and white trimmings. I acquired this from another Basschatter in a trade, but it just isn't getting played and needs to find a good home where its quirky retro looks will be appreciated. The pickups may or may not be alnico but they make a full range of Jazzy sounds and the build quality is typically Yamaha - excellent. Nice birds-eye maple figuring on the neck, my limited photographic skills don't really do it justice. The bass is in very good condition, with one small mark on the back at the top, which I've tried to show in one of the photographs. This doesn't affect playability and isn't visible when being played. It was recently set up by a local luthier and strung with 40-60-75-95 nickels. A Stag/ Black Rat padded gig bag is included. I'd prefer a personal pickup from the Ipswich area, or I can deliver it to anywhere in London or Essex. Can also be shipped if necessary. [b]Sold subject to the usual [/b]. More pics available on request.

I bought this pedalboard from a basschatter a few weeks ago but it's too big for my needs. It's a Warwick Rockcase, in excellent condition. The useable area for pedals is roughly 790 mm wide and 480 mm deep (between the hinges). [b]Sold[/b] Several pedals that I no longer use, and can't justify keeping about the house as paperweights. Hopefully someone here will make use of them. Trades considered, especially for Diago Showman or Gigman or equivalent sized pedal boards. Apologies for the useless camera phone photographs - I can take more pictures of any of these if you want them, please PM me. [b]Digitech X Series DF-7 Distortion Factory[/b]. This is a remarkable box of tricks, with digital models of Ibanez TS-9, DOD Overdrive/Preamp 250, Boss DS-1, Pro Co Rat, Boss Metal Zone, Digitech Metal Master and Big Muff. It also has semi-parametric EQ, and although it's supposedly a guitar pedal it works great with bass and doesn't suck away your tone. As new condition, original box and manuals, [b]Sold[/b]. [b]Digitech X Series Digidelay[/b]. This is a great delay pedal, works well with bass and guitar. This one belongs to my son who is a guitard so I don't know much about the finer points, but there's more info on the Digitech site here [url="http://www.digitech.com/products/pedals/DigiDelay.php"]http://www.digitech.com/products/pedals/DigiDelay.php[/url]. One or two slight scratches in the finish, otherwise excellent condition with original box and manuals. [b]£40 shipped[/b]. [b]Digitech X Series Turbo Flange[/b]. 7 operational modes giving a good selection of strange and wonderful flangy sounds. Works well with guitar and bass. One or two slight scratches in the finish, otherwise excellent condition with original box and manuals. [b]£40 shipped[/b]. [b]Rocktron Pulse Tremolo[/b]. A really solid quality tremolo unit, with square wave and sine wave and a fabulously cool blue LED. It wouldn't be a disaster if I had to keep this one, it allows me to close my eyes and dream of being Ry Cooder. Brilliant with bass and guitar, no box but it does have the original blister pack and manual. Excellent condition, [b]£55 shipped[/b]. [b]Digitech RP100 guitar effects processor.[/b] Excellent condition, with original box and 9v PSU. I think I have the manual somewhere but it might take a bit of finding! [b]£25 shipped[/b].

[quote name='Beedster' post='397782' date='Feb 2 2009, 12:46 PM']The pubs in Canterbury are dropping like flies mate. Two of our locals have gone this month, rumour has it that my leaving the town for a few months hit the local breweries hard.... Hope you're well mate, how's that lovely Bass Collection I flogged you coming along! Chris[/quote] It's going really well, thanks! It's now got some Ernie Ball flats on it, which seem a good match - I was worried that roundwounds would rip up the fingerboard too much. Always sad to hear of pubs closing.

[quote name='steve-norris' post='394549' date='Jan 29 2009, 01:52 PM']And another at the olive branch [/quote] Olive Branch is a bit dodgy - used to be Ind Coope if I remember rightly. I stopped going in there when the annual Xmas school re-unions started running out of steam. I think the Unicorn in St Dunstans has the best beer in Canterbury, closely followed by Chris' old local the White Hart. Chris, if you're looking for a fretless precision, what about this? [url="http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedpb4.htm"]http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedpb4.htm[/url] I have one just like it, except with a fretted jazz-width neck and although I'm biased I think it's the best playing and sounding Precision I've ever seen.

PM sent.
