  1. Obviously it's Fishman, not Fushman as stated above....
  2. Hi all, After a long absence I resurface on this forum only to sell my last bit of double bass gear... An old style Fushman Platinum Pro-EQ, the not-so-secret weapon of the touring bassist. It's the previous double bass specific black model, not the newest silver model which I believe is more for any acoustic instrument. Anyway, great condition, comes with original box, all perfectly working. Kept me sounding like a double bass and free from feedback on settings ranging from small folk club to outdoor summer festivals, through to theatres and some venues who would have been better used as lavatories... Always dos a great job, which is annoying because I couldn't blame the tools for my dodgy intonation....
  3. Any lurve for the vintage Ampeg tone on a budget?
  4. [quote name='highwayone' timestamp='1455031930' post='2975212'] Is this collected? Cheers [/quote] £10 on top for UK delivery.
  5. Not sure mate...Indonesia I think. They sure do look and sound the part.
  6. A great little bass this. Wonderful vintage tone. I'm sure there are some tonal differences compared with the 2k German made models, but you'd need to be pretty clued up on their sound to actually spot them. In any case improbable to make out in the mix of a band: this is in short a fabulous gigging bass for the violin bass lover or anyone curious to have such an iconic shape in their arsenal. The reviews for the Ignition basses are great, so have a read for yourself. I've only had this for a very short time and I'm actually letting it go to stick to my acoustic things at present. Since buying it, I've taken the perloid white scratchplate off, but it is of course enclosed in the sale. Also, I have fitted a brand new set of Rotosound Tru bass 88 short scale, like Paul McCartney Abbey Road/Let it be era. The D'Addario flats it came with are also enclosed. Finally I've bought an original Hofner gig bag, because otherwise finding a suitable gig bag for this basses is a real pain. All in all, absolute bargain at £180 and here's the spiel from Hofner: Taking a lead from our 70s Violin Bass models the Ignition Violin Bass guitars from Hofner let you get your hands on one of the world's iconic guitars. In contrast to the HCT model this version has a fully hollow body and of course comes with the famous Hofner control panel, wooden bridge and Hofner style tailpiece. Hofner's comprehensive range of guitars draws on the firms long-standing success making precision string instruments for musicians. The Beatles' Sir Paul McCartney played a Hofner Violin Bass, and the company's superb attention to detail and stylish design has continued to inspire both rock and jazz musicians to this day. Despite the numerous changes over 125 years the company is still strongly a family firm with strong values for customers, and for high quality, musical instruments.

  8. Bump for this one again, yes I do realise it's a bass player's forum so I'm not expecting hellish much....but, it's now £370!!! If it doesn't sell at this, I'm keeping it myself...
  9. Bump for a spectacularly price practically new awesome cabinet.
  10. Pay day is coming... I'm not against holding it for a week or so with a deposit. I'd much rather that than eBay...
  11. [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1453398225' post='2959190'] What could possibly go wrong? [/quote] Indeed a very positive outcome for all parties involved...
  12. The hard case would fit plenty clothes and another large cardboard box would be available for shoes and handbags....
  13. This is basically new and it represents a huge bargain. I have tried to convince myself I need to keep this wee guy as it's so wonderful but the truth is that I don't use it and I am desperately trying to make up money for a project I always wanted to do, so it needs to go! If you don't know about these wee cabs, have a look on the net: wonderful reproduction of the double bass sound in all its fidelity, diminutive package and yet as loud as a 10inch. This is all you should need for jazz, folk, acoustic pop gigs, you know the kind. The price is a total bargain.
