The fasting showman

I loved my old red BB300, I remember trying it out in Musical Exchanges in Birmingham through a Hiwatt 100 into a new JCM 800 bass 4x12 angled cab. Would have been as a school kid in 1984, sounded great! A real hit of nostalgia seeing this, GLWTS

Let's give this a go again. EMGs added to replace the anemic stock pickups. String retainer added to even out string balance which did the trick. More pics available on request. Great bass at a bargain price. Thanks Martin

Potential trades added

Answered in PM. I'd rather sell than trade, thanks for the interest

1980 Fender Precision special, Lake Placid blue. Wired passively due to the active circuit needing a repair. 4.9kg as is typical for this model. I'm sure the circuit would be easy to fix, the bass works very well as is; priced to account for this issue. Great sounding bass, really even over the board without the 6th/7th fret G string dead spot problem. I've played many eras of P basses and this measures up sonically with the best of them. Selling due to it being a lean year for gigs. I can supply gut shots if required but there's no additional routing and due to the painted headstock it's pretty obvious it's not a bitsa. UK sale only, collection only but happy to meet up within reason. Fender fibreglass case ( well used and heavily stickered) included. Original parts included obviously also. I'd consider an EBMM sub ( USA) as a trade to include cash to make up the difference, i could then relist my Fernandes Jazz. Thanks for viewing, Martin

Still fitted to my bass, but as I offered it to a Wanted ad request ( I was too late!) here it is. If anybody is looking for a badass 2, £75 posted in the UK. No mounting screws alas as none came with it. Thanks for viewing, Martin

Gallien Krueger 700rb ii with new power amp board purchased from Polar Audio last month. I bought a 2nd power amp board for my main amp so this is now surplus. OK, I made a big noise about buying a dead 700rb ii for £50 and then buying a new power amp for £50 ( equals £100, I know)...I'm offering this at 175 purely as it's about half what a 700rb would go for normally. I tend to sell pretty cheaply, to stop gear gathering dust but below £175 then I may as well keep it. Obviously the heart transplant was done by myself as a DIY fix. The amp works well and actually sounds better ( new board maybe?) than my old faithful. So if you want a 700rb ii at a good price, hopefully I'm being pretty transparent. I am just raising funds as I'm not gigging much. Just to add, at the asking price I'm happy to meet up and handover the amp within say a 50 mile radius. From Lichfield, Strensham services for example. Not a fan of couriers from previous experience. Cheers Martin

Still pretty well as new checked Ernie Ball gtr/ bass strap that I used briefly for a few '80s gigs I did. UK only, please, £10 posted. Cheers Martin
