A few odd bits I'm not using anymore, prices including UK Postage. David Gage Realist Docking Station... designed to sit on the tailpiece as a volume control for a realist pickup. All the way anti-clockwise clicks the control out of the chain completely. £55 T-Bone Ovid Bass Microphone System... photo shows an over bridge mounting but i personally prefer under, near the body for live use, or even over the F-hole with a touch of HPF. £45 SOLD

Oh man... I played one of these the other day, and honestly expected to hate it but what a cool guitar it turned out to be! That neck profile is so easy to get around on... Took a look at the basses but the price tag is frightening! GLWTS

I've been on a bit of a string journey recently, with the arrival of a new bass. Who'd have guessed it, I ended up using the same strings (Evah Weich) I've loved for years! All prices include UK postage. Pirastro 'The Jazzer' £140 These were on my bass for a week, and have seen 2 gigs. Terrible name, great string! Often described as a little mellower than a Spirocore, and would be my pick if I was going steel core. Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold/Slap (Fully synthetic set) £140 SOLD These have probably done 7-10 gigs on my bass. Low tension, with the aim of being a little more of a gut emulation. Really easy on the hands, and good for more than just the 'slap' crowd. There's a little unwinding going on up at the top end well inside the peg box on the G, which does seem to be quite common with Pirastro synthetics in general. With my experience of pirastro, they would likely replace this string if it became a problem, excellent support. Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Weich G £5 GONE Here's a G I have used for around 2 months, showing a slight unwinding which on my bass was just above the nut. As mentioned above, Pirastro were kind enough to replace this for me even though it still has some usable life in it. I'm happy to offer it for the cost of postage to anyone who may find it useful!

This is likely going to be going to a shop shortly, so last chance if anyone wants to make an offer!

These work really nicely as a very secure flight package, but I will split if need be! With the Aero inside the SKB I never have to worry about my bass in transit. I now have a double flightcase for such occasions so this isn't needed anymore. Individual prices: Aero £100 SKB Bass Safe £115 The pull on the Aero front pocket zip is missing. It can still be opened but honestly it's so tight I've never found it much use anyway. It has comfy straps tucked away at the back. The SKB has had some of the internal foam removed... pretty much mandatory to fit any decent gigbag inside anyway!

@readeeboyold school fat P!

A very recent Limelight mid-60s inspired Precision. Typical full fat 42mm width neck and a back friendly 3.9 kg. Aged nitro, reliced faded Shoreline Gold finish, a rosewood board with clay dots and rolled edges, CTS pots, vintage wired, switchcraft jack. I do have the original tortoiseshell guard, pictured. Brand new tweed hard case, shipping possible but handover preferred! No trades as it stands.

All prices posted in the UK... Mono Pedalboard Lite, with a Tick bag (clings to a mono gigbag if you have one), £100

Price includes UK postage... this set have seen a few months on my bass, possibly 10-12 gigs? New bass incoming so just getting her set up with a fresh set!

@QuatschmacherJust a very different flavour to the Thomastiks I'm used to! Sometimes I just try other things to remind myself how much i like them...

All prices include UK postage: Polytune 2 Noir Mini £50

A set of La Bella 760FLs, popped on my P Bass for all of about an hour. Not for me! UK postage included.

Gone!

It's time for me to find a new home for my Stentor hybrid. This bass features a hand carved spruce front and a laminated maple back and sides. The bass comes with a Lightly padded well fitting bag, and a fat foam semi-rigid case. Setup to play easily with Pirastro Jazzer strings, this bass has had a new adjustable bridge fitted plus an upgraded tailpiece and a Wolf endpin ball. It also has a set of F-its F-hole plugs for feedback avoidance live, and a bow. With the top-notch Realist Lifeline pickup, this bass is a gig-ready package for someone! I've tried to show all wear and tear in the photos, but happy to answer any questions/provide any information as needed. Any repairs have been carried out to a high standard. A great instrument that's pretty lightweight too. Happy to discuss offers, and delighted to meet anyone who wants to try it out.

Cheers@QuatschmacherI actually couldn't remember which one was the newer model! No replacement planned at the moment, just invested in a new upright and feeling the pinch both for cash and space. Will likely come back around this way eventually, I can't imagine anything better!

Moog Sub (subsequent) 37 synth for sale... the absolute king of the bass synths these days. NSP Flightcase and Decksaver for safe travel, and if handed over in person I'll include a white Gravity double braced stand. Comes with a dropbox folder crammed with great patches (bought and created) and any support you need to get up and running. Postage is possible but handover much preferred!

I did indeed! I headed to London to try out a couple of different instruments, the first of which was a visit to @Clarkyto have a play with this one. I've been pondering on whether to go vintage or not, and very nearly left with it. If it hadn't been for the final bass I saw being the perfect fit for my needs, I would've headed back and taken this home! A glorious mellow tone and really easy to play. Thanks for making me feel very welcome! Feel free to PM if anyone has any queries on this one too 👍
