Bought this very recently as I'm gigging again and take two basses, unfortunately(or fortunately,delending on your needs) it's built like a tank, and with all my cables/mic/accessories etc, it's too damn heavy to carry. I also car share and its too big to fit in (perfect for the van though) This really is a fantastic bag, with all the storage you could want, but as well as being waterproof, it comes with a handy raincover. Fleece lined with a neck pillow and plenty of room for all types of Basses. Pretty much new, and I've had to stop using it, so someone with better transport may have more use than I, such I shame as its the pooches dangles, I may eventually get a single one. £125 incl UK only delivery Do I really need to say the basses arnt included 🤣 -
Having a clear out, up for sale is my MXR Bass Octave Deluxe. Great versatile Octave pedal with two blendable voices, Growl emulates the middy OC2 tone, while Girth is a deep and smooth EBS type of tone. On the whole it's quite a tight abd clean sounding octave which works great in boomy rooms. It also features a switchable mid boost, which can go between 400 and 800HZ and trimpot to boost up to 14 dB. This boost affects the clean signal. It is one of the best tracking octavers I've used,and works well with active basses. As ive already got an Octo Nojs and an Aguilar Octamizer as well as a C4 (so many OC2 Emulations) it's surplus. In very good condition, with very high quality velcro fitted, however it appears to have two screws missing on the Base, it's securely fitted, but I'll source new ones prior to delivery. It's also in its box with all the box candy, which we know makes the pedal sound better. SOLD -
Yeah, some Twonk has bought sunbeams put them on a bass and returned the box to amazon with a set of Knacky old strings,I'll bet they don't even check just resell 🙄

Earlpilanz on ebay is very good -
If the ones you have don't fit let me know, I've a set in my spares box you can have 😊

Going to cut down on a few things, so this fantastic Funky machine is going back up for sale. Phase 90 sounds through to Flanging at thd flick of a switch. £70 posted to your door -
Ive used Earlpilanz a couple of times. He's great, send him your original plate and he'll copy it. His Dark Red and Vintage Dark Torts are delicious. [email protected]

Oh wow! That's stunning. It reminds me of a Guild Pilot. -
Shame you didn't have an old stingray 5,I'd trade my Euro 5 then🤣 Unfortunately I can't get Instagram, but Josh is an incredible player and a great guy to deal with. -
Absolutely, but ive a couple of Spectors too (Euro 4 and 5) but if the need ever arose, I could happily gig the two squires. Mind you I now have Gas for a 90s Stingray 5 🤣
-
Wow! I quite like that. I regrettably didn't get on with the Short scale, but definitely convinced me of Sires quality/cost ratio. It definitely proves that quality instruments are available at a realistic price. Also as you say I'd rather gig a decent cheaper bass, than my beloved 82 JV jazz or my spectors at the various "colourful establishments" around lancaster and Morecambe 🤣

Bit late with this one, as ive been doing a little light cosmetic Modding. I recently bought this Black 83 SQ Squire Precision from the always fantastic ead. I've owned a white JV jazz for the last 30 years and always wanted a Precision counterpart, but they've gone fairly expensive. These were made at the same time as the JV's but at a lower price point as they weren't vintage reissues, but a standard style P bass for the time (pretty much a 70s style). The quality is on par with my JV it's fairly light for a 40 year old MIJ, it came with a fairly chunky fender style bridge, which looked very shiny compared to the nice mojod tuners. I had a Gotoh Reliced vintage Bridge which I fitted as well as some reliced Barrel knobs. I've also replaced the original black pickguard with what I believe is a Bass Doc burgundy Tort(sourced by our own Walshy), which has been nicely reliced so in keeping with the bass (NOTE- despite being an MIJ bass, I have fitted two USA spec pickguards, so it is a true 70s spec) The neck was also lightly sanded, it felt so nice, I took the neck off my JV jazz and lightly sanded it with wire wool (0000) abdcits lovely and matt now. It had also been upgraded with a CTS Kiagon loom and a fender original 62 pickup, it sounds very warm and smooth, I'm very smitten with this bass😍 it came with some lovely TI flats, which as much as I love I find flats don't cut through live (for me anyway) so I've put a set of fairly new DR Pure Blues, which actually have a very warm abd smooth midrange and sound very nice when worn in. Such a great bass and such high quality for a supposed "budget" instrument, I think they just used much nicer woods I those days.

Beautiful Bass, Anders, I had a Sire U5 short Scale for a wile and I was stunned by how good it was, and ie owned a lot of expensive Basses. One of my next purchases (probably early next year) will be a 5 string V5 jazz, I Need to see if they do that colour with a maple board. I have a Sadowsky Preamp pedal, that is just a fantastic thing, adds clarity and fatness with sounding overly (active) I even use it with my Spectors

No interest in my rig whatsoever, otherwise I'd be on this. -
Donated! I've been on the end of it and it's sickening.

Got a new P bass abd did the usual try a few and see what's best thing. This is the Red/Black from Guitars Electric, brand new and fitted for only a couple of days before I got a reliced burgundy one. Now I fitted this to an MIJ 83 SQ Squire P abd it was a perfect fit, however the website states its fir USA/MIM basses, but testimonials have stated these can fit Korean Squires with a bit of filing. This is the blurb PRECISION BASS Scratch Plates in 9 Colours – designed to fit Mexican & USA Precision Bass screw hole configuration. May also fit import P-Bass Style guitars, including Fender Squiers. Some drilling of one or two holes maybe required due to the many differences of hole spacing by worldwide guitar manufacturers. SOLD -
Ahh you beat me to it 🤣

Always two there are! No more no less Rock covers band- Spector Euro 4 and 5 Funk/jazz fusion band - 80's Squire jazz and precision. Pit gigs, just 1 😁 whichever bass fits the show, but usually a 5 I use a different one for each set, through an EBS A/B/preamp.

Lots of love, just no money or room fir such a glorious beast. -

Just bought a Squire SQ p bass from Alain. As usual he brought it to my door, and we gad a good natter. Fantastic fellow whom I've bought and sold to for years. I've a feeling this bass is a keeper. I also got to sign his Limelight Leyland Sklar P, which is very cool. Thanks Again for everything Alain.

Just bought a Tortoise pickguard from Rob. I visited him recently and he's a lovely/knowledgeable chap with impeccable taste in basses. Deal with confidence. Thanks Rob, hope to see you soon.

I was lucky enough to have a lovely chat with Ash at his home recently, as ive taken possession of one of his old basses. He was kind enough to gift me a lovely P bass pickguard which regrettably didn't fit. I've spoken to Ash on here many times, and he's a longstanding legend of basschat, and a great bloke and player to boot. We're fortunate to have him in our community! Thanks so much Ash 😁

I concur!

This is rock-bottom I'm afraid, and if a combo on here goes, it'll have to be withdrawn.
