  1. Hey guys. Up for sale is a Guild B302, it has a low action and is completely stock, comes with a period correct gigbag. Truss rod is good, needs a new set of strings. Unlike most Guilds I have tried this one is actually quite lightweight for a B series! It has the expected chips and dings of a bass that is over 30 years old. Frets do have life remaining. Reduced to just £550, No haggling please, pickup from London. I will pack the bass but the buyer must arrange for a courier/postage. NO trades thanks.
  2. If I may be so bold. https://soundcloud.com/chinspinner/oubliette My own tone on this track. It's very gritty but not over the top. Gibson Grabber to VT Bass Deluxe. Also Young Widows - Old Skin. Gibson RD, Rat LM308, SS Ampegs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgdv5JVJhHY&safe=active Defeater - The Red White and blues. Bloody upfront and nasty. Sits well in the mix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEFkTfGy7CQ&list=PL04Nhx1FVdTRwmKwdgs4BFC6msu1sjnSE
  3. TM Stevens just rocked up next to me queuing to get into the show! What a legend! (He was taken away to get on first bah!)
  4. Just booked my Saturday ticket. I actually have a fair amount of money this time around, but I will RESIST.
  5. Bump. Bass is on its way to London and will be available for pickup there in the week.
  6. Still unsure which day to go. I went on Sunday last year. I guess the day with less people? I presume Sunday would be less packed, but what do the people who went to both days last year think? R
  7. Bought two laptops from me and is a fine chap Cheers.
  8. Hello all. I have a Santander 7 string fretless bass. It's active, Ebony fingerboard, Ash body, Neck thru construction. 35inch scale. 18Volt Pre-amp, monobridges and D'addario strings. Wilkinson tuners. The Kent Armstrong pickups that came with it are included. [b]Also included[/b] is a brand new Hipshot bridge which cost £70, which is a correct fit. I just haven't had time to fit it. The action is low, the truss rods are working 100% The SGD pickups were a completely custom order, Ken Smith Clones which cost me £160+ I can also include a Glockenklang 3 band pre-amp (Not fitted) For an extra £70. The bass is in good condition with just a few scratches. It has only been played on for about 3 hours max. The bass is currently located at Tom Waghorns in Bristol. Where I can get someone to let you buy it by proxy. (Either Tom Waghorn or Olly Foxen) Or I can go fetch it and can be picked up from London at a later date. Either way, this bass will not be posted. Heres a video of someone else playing a stock one. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgzqTBd1JPQ&safe=active[/media] No haggling or trades. Cheers!
  9. Practically brand new. Played for about 2 hours maximum. LPJ model In the above colour, comes with original hardcase. Comes with all the tags and such. Fairly lightweight and a lovely LOW action. Only £460 for a USA Gibson. Not interested in trades. Collection from Wimbledon or Central London only.
  10. Hi guys. I have a Gibson Grabber neck that is well well used and needs a refret though structurally it is sound. This is an original 1975/1976 neck. Truss rod is A-OK. Nice Scarf joint on this one. Serial number has been a little scratched out sometime in the past, but can still make out most numbers. Would prefer pickup from Wimbledon UK, however I will ship if buyer pays shipping. REDUCED TO JUST £60 Picked up. Postage £12 extra.No haggling, no trades. Bank transfer only.

    SOLD

    Hey guys. I am scaling back my bass playing drastically as I have decided to concentrate on something else, I have two custom basses incoming with very little room to store them. As such my baby is up for sale. UP for sale is my lovely Gibson Grabber. Black/cherry, maple neck, brass nut, replaced original bridge with a Hipshot one (Original included). Has had a recent refret and neck refinish. Looks lovely and plays lovely! Truss rod is absolutely fine. Comes with original beat up hard case. This is a VERY reluctant sale. Loads of mid range clank if you want that sort of tone. [url="https://soundcloud.com/chinspinner/oubliette"]https://soundcloud.c...inner/oubliette[/url] (I recorded my bands EP exclusively with this bass, for an idea of tone take a listen ^^. Pretty good for a practice room demo) Body has dings and scratches but is in good condition for a 36 year old + bass. Currently has Dunlop straplok's and Tension correct Pyramid strings tuned Drop C. Has had a recent set up at the gallery. This is one of the nicest condition Grabbers you will ever see these days so grab it quick! Reduced to £750. Not haggling on the price at all. Pickup from Wimbledon, London. I will pack the bass but the buyer will have to arrange for a courier. [b]EDIT: Trades I may consider. [/b] Any Ovation Magnum in good condition plus cash. Any Kramer Aluminium neck bass in good condition plus cash. Vigier Passion II straight trade plus maybe a little cash from me. An earlier Grabber in good condition. Gibson Money bass plus cash. Gibson Long scale SG straight trade (Not SGZ) Guild B series plus cash. Oddball Gibsons plus cash. Musicman Stingray + Small amount of cash. May consider a cheap Fender of some description plus ALOT of cash. [b]Any basses offered must be in amazing working order, with a proven working truss rod and have good life in the frets. No noisy pickups, must have a low action. It needs to be GOOD and GIGABLE. [/b]
  12. I had one of these ages ago but with bat inlays. Made under a variety of names like Galveston and Silver String. Very very heavy, Very unweildy. The heel is massive though it is set neck. The bridge string holes arent actually big enough to get a proper low F# string through.
  13. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-SQUIRE-BASS-GUITAR-ROSETTI-PADDED-BAG-lowest-nearly-new-on-ebay-/161227651272?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2589eab8c8 Good deal.
  14. Did you buy this one from GuitarGuitar?
  15. Wouldn't mind these. But wimbledon is probably too far of a trek for you!
  16. Got a Gibson LPJ on finance online at guitarguitar. Rang up with a query after I ordered and they couldnt be more helpful. The guitar was shipped promptly and plays brilliantly.
  17. Why has the matching headstock been changed? Did Jon give any explanation? I really hope that hasn't happened to mine. Looking nice with the finish mind!
  18. I had an MJX Singlecut 4 string. Lovely bass, medium weight. I loved the compound radius neck. Very aggressive sounding.
  19. [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1390559473' post='2346743'] So, um, I've got this black cherry 2007 Gibson Les Paul Double Cut (later model with walnut "tone plate" a la Money bass). [/quote] I have been casually looking for a Money bass for a while. What are they like? Can the neck pickup sound tonally like a Grabber?
  20. [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1390437683' post='2345562'] I suddenly remembered that some time ago, I found a Mazeti guitar in a Derby Pawn shop. I remember thinking that it didn't look nearly so convincing in the flesh s it did on ebay. Reviews online are mixed, but [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/17229-mazeti-basses/page__gopid__2345559#entry2345559"]this basschat thread[/url] contains some good reviews for some other Mazeti instruments. Edit: £15 delivery seems quite reasonable for the Mazeti, given that surely it must weigh a ton. Also, while I said that it was unlikely that anyone would find a seven string for that price, I think that HK basses may have sold for reasonable prices for what they are, though maybe not as cheap as £250 (and it's possible the Mazeti might go for less).. If I remember correctly (which often I don't), the HK basses were German designed and Korean made. And IMHO they look the bees knees. [/quote] My old one that (And my old photo!). The pickups weren't aligned correctly, so the lowest and highest string was being picked up by one or the other pickup. Otherwise it was an alright bass.
