Fantastic condition 2nd Gen Sire V7 5 string in stunning metallic Burgundy, originally bought from Andertons, now surplus to requirements as have just purchased something else. Looks absolutely gorgeous and used mainly for home and studio. There are just the tiniest of scratches to the top coat near the string thru holes on the back which you will find hard to see and a slight scuff near the jack socket. Just being up front. Sounds and works as it should and great value at this price. I have an older but decent soft case to go with it. You are welcome to try it out in Poole, Dorset or could possibly do a meet up. Many thanks for looking. Sire blurb: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Sire have made serious waves in the bass market in recent years and have rightfully earned massive praise for their all-encompassing range. Their collaboration with world-renowned jazz and funk bassist Marcus Miller has produced a range of exceptionally high-quality instruments that far exceed their price point. We here at Andertons believe that Sire are the best bass brand we have seen in the last twenty years! That’s a bold statement for sure, but you know a product is good when all the staff own one! Unlike a lot of other guitar companies that outsource their work, Sire own the factory in which their basses are built. This means cheaper production and full control over the quality of the instruments from start to finish. It goes without saying that we QC check each and every Sire bass that comes through our doors, but we are always blown away by how little tweaking is required because they’re always set up so well from the factory! The Sire Marcus Miller V7 2nd Generation sits in the middle of the V Series. Its versatility makes it a great option for an array of different techniques, genres and playing styles. At this price point, its build quality is unrivalled too. A one-piece, Canadian Hard Maple neck offers excellent stability, while simultaneously enhancing tonal sustain and reducing vibration loss. Its comfortable too, thanks to the rolled fingerboard edges and 9.5" fingerboard radius. Whether you're just starting out, or you're an experienced player, you won’t want to put the V7 down! At the heart of the V7 is a set of signature Marcus Miller Super-J Revolution pickups, which are made using American plain enamel coils. Drawing inspiration from ‘60s J-Bass pickup spacing, these pickups have a clear, defined sound with plenty of thump! An onboard 3-band EQ has also been thrown into the mix, giving you complete control over your sound, with both passive and active settings available. Key Features Rolled Fingerboard Edges – Typically only found on high-end basses, rolled fingerboard edges enhance the overall comfort and playability of the neck and make it easier to play. What’s not to like?! Marcus Miller Heritage-3 Preamp – An onboard 3-band EQ with active and passive settings puts plenty of tone tweaking options at your fingertips. Marcus Miller Super-J Revolution Pickups – This signature set of pickups is preferred by Marcus Miller himself, offering up a host of great bass tones for a range of playing styles and genres. J-Bass Body – This iconic, tried and tested body shape is incredibly comfortable to play. Body contours allow the bass to sit comfortably against your body when playing either standing up or seated. Marcus Miller Modern-S Bridge – This classic bridge set up ensures optimal intonation and tuning stability, whilst maximising the transfer of sound energy to the pickups.

Little mark tube 800 - help needed
paddybass replied to A.G.E.N.T.E.'s topic in Repairs and Technical
I have a similar problem with my Tube 500. I bought it second hand about 3 years ago and it did have an intermittent noise which didn't bother me too much until it started being more noticeable and frequent and eventually cutting out. I sent it to real electronics and they did a complete pot change as they bench tested it and couldn't find a valve fault. £200 odd spent. But it was still happening and every time I turned it on it'd go through a few minutes of being ok and then a few crackles and grumbles but usually settled down. But now it has no volume on the Tube side of the pot, still works ok on SS side. So to be honest I'm just using it as it is and it's ok, its been a great amp and was handy having 2 inputs. I've had my use out of it and will see how long it lasts. I've seen the newer LM IV for less than £500 so I might have a look at some point. That valve of yours look a bit worse for wear though? I've attached a pic from my 2016 model. -

Excellent condition Hipshot Supertone direct replacement for the 3 point bridge on an Epiphone EB3. The Hipshot SuperTone Bass Bridge is a premium quality, direct replacement for your Gibson 3 point bass bridge that uses the existing hole pattern. The bridge is machined from a solid block of aluminium for superior quality and tone, and the saddles are nested into channels to remove sideways motion. The SuperTone string spacing is 17.7 mm (0.696") as standard but each string is adjustable in the saddle to give 2 mm (0.08") side to side adjustment for better string, pickup and neck alignment. You can with mount the strings as top loading or through the body. These retail for £154.95. £95 inc postage to mainland UK. Thanks.

Very good condition Epiphone EB3, hardly used, possibly Dec 2011 from serial number? Cheap and cheerful, long scale with well documented neck dive which I have helped by relocating the strap pins and using a wide strap which does help a lot. Some slight scratches to pick guard and some minor blemishes. Collection from Poole or possible meet up when I'm traveling, or I can courier in a used soft case and well boxed at cost. Thanks. .
