    SOLD: BOSS SL-20 SLICER - mint - Reduced: 90£

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    Hi,

    For sale in as new condition Boss twin pedal SL-20 Slicer. Works perfectly, and creates patterns in the style of the Adrenalinn and other pedals. I already have an Adrenalinn, plus an impending house move means that this has to go. I will actually be selling a few pedals now, just have too many and rarely use them.

    Shipping to the UK included. Comes with original box and manual. No power supply.

    Thanks

    TRADED - Martin D-28 acoustic guitar

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    Bump

    Picked up the guitar and noticed that the damage pic makes it look much larger than it actually is. It is 3 cm long. This pic may put things into perspective, the knock is on the bottom left, right next to the binding. Note: after some 'homemade' tests, I can say that the damage does not go through the wood.

    TRADED - Martin D-28 acoustic guitar

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    Hi,

    For sale is my Martin D-28 acoustic. I think it is a well known instrument, but I'd be happy to answer any questions. I am the first owner from new. The guitar is in excellent condition overall, HOWEVER it once fell on the floor (please don't make me explain it) and it has an ugly knock on the back. This has had no effect whatsoever on sound or playability, but IT IS indeed ugly - hence the price, which I think is fair (but I am happy to be corrected). I have tried to show the damage in the pictures below as faithfully as possible.

    The only reason for selling is that I just can't get along with the dreadnought body, and I need space. But the sound is powerful and refined, classic Martin tone. Not really looking for trades, but hit me up if in doubt.

    The guitar is located in Barcelona, Spain, but I will ship to the UK (or elsewhere in Europe) for an extra 50 quid.

    Thanks!

    SOLD: Arcangeli fretless lined, zebrano/rosewood, audere pre

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by juliusmonk

    For sale only this lovely 4-string jazz-type fretless I recently got from a fellow basschatter. It is actually quite stunning in person, body and neck are zebrano, with brazilian rosewood for the lined fingerboard. The bridge is Badass II, the pre is an Audere JZ3. Finish is natural.

    Mint condition. Comes with a Gator hard case - pretty battered, but functional.

    The original thread is here:
    [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/191659-for-sale-arcangeli-fretless-jazz-price-drop-sold/page__hl__arcangeli"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/191659-for-sale-arcangeli-fretless-jazz-price-drop-sold/page__hl__arcangeli[/url]

    The bass is very comfortable, harmonics pop up easily and it has a nice dose of mwah. The neck PU is very authoritative, the bridge PU very jaco-esque as one could expect. The bass is very responsive to playing dinamics. The hardware feels solid all around. The tone is rather woody, although via the Audere pre it is easy to give it an edge. The controls are vol, bal, hi, mid and lo, with a 3-pos 'Z-mode switch' that allows to make the overall tone rounder, more aggressive, or leave it flat. The action is low.

    It has been my first fretless, and frankly I adapted almost instantly, to my surprise - so it has encouraged me to rapidly dig deeper (which I guess speaks for the instrument itself), try percussive techniques, etc. I have now pulled the trigger for a Zon Sonus, with which I will be able to slap without fear of damaging the fingerboard... :) So sadly this needs to go before I feel attached to it.

    The only things a prospective owner may care about are: 1) the back cover is not matched to the wood grain; 2) the neck plate is a Fender one; 3) the PUs origin is unknown. None of that actually bothers me, but worth mentioning.

    No trades, sorry. Price is negotiable but excluding shipping. The bass is in Barcelona, Spain.

    Updated pics and sound clips available on request.

    Thanks!

    Pics from previous owner (I hope you don't mind, Ryan!), the bass is exactly in the same condition:

    Jens Ritter basses...

    I have tried two. Stunning looks, but they didn't feel too comfortable, the electronics were complex, and the sound was just like so many other high end luthier kinda stuff, perhaps even less 'zingy' than I would've thought. And they were powerful - too much for me. i don't need that thunder. It might have been the amp though. I have a problem with expectations in any case - for that cash, I expect the thing to play itself - and it was not the case. Of course, I want my bass to be my 'friend', not an object of adoration that I approach with care just in case I leave fingerprints on it... Some Ritters just look ridiculous to me.

    Then again, the same has happened to me with Foderas and Alembics, so clearly my problem. Mind, I am not a fan of budget basses either - I find 90% of them invariably worthless. And the relic Fender thing I still don't understand.

    In the end, a bass is just a bass - it must feel and play great in your hands, and sound good to you, the rest is purely decoration IMO. If it feels just ok, like most do, then price is an important factor, and all these are expensive for me.

    I am inclined to think that if you cannot find at least ONE really great bass for you for less than 1500£ (used), then you haven't looked enough.

    But one has to acknowledge the creativity of Jens Ritter and the will to do something different. That is always a good thing.

    Almost traded a bass with Raj - my fault only that the deal fell through in the end. Just wanted to mention that he was a great person to deal with, patient, flexible and very understanding when the circumstances changed for me. Good communication, I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him in the future!
