Lovely bass. I had a 5 that was sold without the pre and I put the wonderful East MMSR preamp in. It's an easy job and really suits this instrument. -
I saw a show last March where the Xtender failed and the bassist didn't have a spare bass. I'm not sure exactly what happened to it, my friend is in the band and explained that "...it was one of those drop tuner things you have on your basses that just fell apart on him. " I've never had an issue and check my gear all the time.

I've set one up, played it a bit and it was very good. I don’t want to get into comparisons with the Japan basses but the 235 I fettled was good and to be honest, anyone could have a career on it and be happy. I used to own a BB415, which is kind of the same but a generation earlier and that was my #2 bass for ages. Again, it was set up, fettled and made to play as well as any of my spendy basses. You can’t really go wrong with a well set up Yam at any price point. Even an expensive one is going to need some TLC “out of the box”.

Gallien Krueger Fusion 550 hybrid amp - now £535 (pending)
Sean replied to Berserker's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
If anyone is sitting on the fence about this, I can say that it's the best amp I've ever used. I regularly gig mine as you can see in that thread. I picked mine up from the Amp Hospital yesterday after a repair to some damage caused by someone else's abuse/idiocy and one of the leading amp techs of all time (IYKYK) told me how good an amp it is and how beautifully designed and made it is. They're very very good with "ordinary" basses but with Spectors they absolutely kick @$$ and take names. Also, yer man @Berserker is a absolute gent and top basschatter. -
Uuuuffffff. I can’t believe I missed this back in the day. I missed it when Beedster bought it from someone, I think. It would look lush hanging next to my black one.

Above and beyond tech support and first class service from James. Another reason why this Basschat community is so valuable to us all. Thank you. Much appreciated.

Here’s a very good condition T-Rex “The Fuel Tank” Chameleon. A great piece of kit that hasn’t seen much action. Loads of leads including a doubler lead that gives you 18v from 2x9v outputs and this Fuel Tank gives 12volt options too. IEC lead included (not pictured). -
I've got a set of HotRod Nightrain P+J handwound, UK made pickups by Eternal Guitars. This pair is meant to recreate the Duff McKagan tone from the classic GnR era. It's an Eternal Thumper P pickup and an Eternal '84 J. These are very rock-oriented pickups and sound huge. I'm selling because all I seem to have is really hot pickups in everything. I'm replacing these with more vintage, much less hot pickups. These currently sell for £255. They're not sold as a Nightrain these days but you can buy them individually: https://www.eternal-guitars.com/product-page/jb-84-jazz-bass-pickup https://www.eternal-guitars.com/product-page/pb-thumper-precision-bass-pickup The original design of these pickups was done by Andy at Wizard pickups who sold his designs and equipment to Eternal.-

Boxed with sticker and manual. Postage £5. -
This pedal does a lot of good stuff and it’s all described here https://www.gallien-krueger.com/plex-preamp/ I found it very intuitive and very faithful to the GK sounds. Recording interface, headphone amp, DI, tuner, 5 GK amp models, overdrive, compressor all in one.- 1 reply

Super useful all-in-one with DI. Brilliant for jam and open mic nights. I've gigged it. It's very Ampeg sounding and just one of those things it's worth carrying. I have so much redundancy that this is ready for a new home.

100% the Yamaha. The Franconia is, I believe late 70s, early 80s. It's niche, quirky and very much a collectable or enthusiast instrument. Pickup spacing is unconventional too. @Bassassin will undoubtedly be able to shed some light on Franconia basses.

1. What's under the screw-on lid? Pre? Battery? Stash? 2. What's the logic on the pickup spacing? 3. Who did all the graffiti on the Limelight one? Is it replica gráffiti?

There is absolutely no way that a bass guitar gets accidentally delivered to an auction house and then that auction house proceeds to list it for sale. "Oooh, look! Something got accidentally delivered. Let's list it." The whole thing stinks. I'll speculate that someone at the auction house is a fence and uses the business to move on their stolen goods that come in from a network of theives that include contacts in courier companies. The reluctance to cooperate might point towards this incident being just the tip of a large iceberg. If it's gone back into the Parcelforce system it will have a new tracking number, shouldn't it?
