  1. Be wary of using WD40. I used it on an Ibanez composite body and it interacted with the plastic, leaking throat wrenching fumes for months until I had to get rid of it. Wood neck and WD40 might be OK. If you wnat a comprehensive guide to basic setup I wrote one for Scott's Bass Lessons a year or so ago. It's in this thread, part of the way down http://forums.scottsbasslessons.com/index.php?topic=727.msg3476#msg3476
  2. Well, I keep blowing hot and cold on delivery. If it helps a sale it would be good, but I think I've got to say travel within reason. Weston is a loooonggggg way from here. BTW it does make a surprisingly big difference having the second 2x10, not least because it unleases the full 250w of the head
  3. Alternatively, if you happen to have a really nice Roland CB100 and about £315 I am very happy to swap. And, yup, I'm on the Norfolk / Suffolk border. That's half way to Holland.
  4. I have just bought a Hohner B Bass Pro IV with a Steinberger type bridge. This isn't the one for the headless basses - apart from the dropped E it's almost conventional. What I need to know is what the dropped E mechanism is like inside. As I changed strings, out of the E string channel dropped a piece of metal about an inch (25mm) long and maybe 4mm wide and side. It has like a hook one end and a shiny ramp at the other. But I have no idea what it does. Does it go over or under the string and which way round? Many thanks if you can help.
  5. tried lightening it in photoshop and it still looked a sort of mustard colour. is that right?
  6. The ramp fills the gap between the two pickups and the neck pickup and the neck. If you're good enough to use them they're apparently to stop your fingers digging in too much if you play in a certain style. For me they offer a thumb rest if I'm playing the B string 'off pickup'. Technically they should be curved to match the curve of the fingerboard. Mine are flat but then the fingerboard is a flat curve anyway. They are temp attached so can easily come off without marking the bass.
  7. more facts please. is fingeboard lined or plain? fb marked from roundwound use? weight? condition? how much to post?
  8. Hope to not be up to my eyes by this time next week so will be better able to organise postage, boxes and other exciting logistical stuff then.
  9. BH250 head, almost new and not gigged. So small and light it fits easily in a gig bag pocket. 250w at 4 ohms (around 150-ish at 8). Comes with long power lead and Speakon-Speakon cable. Couple of tiny marks on black paint on chassis but otherwise immaculate. Boxed. £175. BC210 cab, bought new by me and practically as new. No marks, no smells, works perfectly. Ergonomic side handles and only 19kg so easy to cart about. Boxed. £175. BC210 cab, I'm the second owner. One or two slight scuffs on Tolex. Slight smell of smoke from previous owner but not too bad. I hate smoke and I live in the same room with it OK. Speakon-Speakon cable. £150. Prefer to sell the whole caboodle as one, obviously, and looking for £475 all up. Worth around £700 new. Cash on collection or cleared cheque and collection only. Willing to deliver a bit for diesel money at 10 miles to the pound round trip (for a single sale of all three items only). Will trade for quality lightweight combo, e.g. Roland Cube, plus wonga my way, but to match my kit it would have to be almost 'as new' with a reasonable price/value. [u]Update:[/u] [i]Losing the will to sell, but never say never. If you stumble across this ad in the future give me a shout, I might have changed my mind again.[/i][So mods, please don't remove].
  10. Just weighed it... a tad or smigeon over 4.5Kg, whatever that is in old real money
  11. Hohner B Bass Professional VI six string, excellent condition. Very few marks if any. Active /passive. Cherished and cuddled by the present and previous owners and not gigged by either of us. Set up and adjusted. Currently shod with Overwater nickel light strings. Demountable Willis ramps. 34 inch scale. If you want to hear one in action: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T3YD9t45HA."]http://www.youtube.c...?v=3T3YD9t45HA.[/url] This isn't mine, but identical. Cash on collection preferred (middle East Anglia). Will post for £25 but I'd rather not, not because it's not feasible but I'm up to my eyes.
  12. very very interested. might talk further once you post pix n details.
  13. is that case go with it?
  14. that's bermtree for you. the underbelly of the world. stay on top of the world with basschat and think happy thoughts.
  15. free bump for the nice man who plays good
  16. have you really got a parrot?
  17. I am selling one of my two BC 2x10 cabs. Most excellent two-tenner + tweeter, 250w, great range of sound. The best thing is the portability. Well balanced big handles and 19kg weight mean an old codger like me can carry it easily (even one-handed) up and down stairs and in and out of cars. That's why I bought it and haven't been disappointed. Only selling because I have GAS for a new bass and don't strictly need 4x10. This item is in nearly immaculate condition. I say nearly because at 4 feet away it looks new, but there are a couple of faint rub marks on the grille surround, consistent with the cab being laid face down in a car boot, and another on the top tolex. There is one tiny rip - 1/8 inch long - which has been repaired and tiny stone chip marks to the paint on a couple of the corner reinforcing brackets The previous owner was a smoker but most of the smell has now gone. I'm sensitive to smoke and the cab lives in my study and I can only occasionally smell a little whiff. If you're a smoker or go to smoky gigs you'll probably think this cab is too clean for you - it certainly won't be an issue for anyone but the most hyper-sensitive to smoke. Two Speakon connector sockets (no jack socket) I might be able to post her as I have an original box and packaging and as I say she's light. But it's still a big box around 20kg so it isn't going to be cheap to post, insured, and the cost will be yours on top of the purchase price. So pickup recommended, or I'd be willing to travel up to 25 miles from my base in the middle of East Anglia. For the sake of completeness, in the pic the cab for sale is the top one. The amp and lower cab are not for sale.
