Skinnyman

Now reduced to £1300 I bought this bass from the Bass Gallery towards the end of last year and, gorgeous as it is, I just don't get on with 5 strings. I also need to release some cash so I'm going to take a massive hit on this and put it up for sale for a lot less than I paid. I guess I don't need to say much about the quality of Sei basses or the list price of these beauties so here's the gen on this one; Candy Apple Red "Super J" 5 string bass. It has red LED fret markers (side and front of the fingerboard), ebony (I assume) fingerboard and gold (coloured!) hardware. Has gold Schaller strap locks fitted. Basslines pickups with not-sure-who's preamp (switchable between active and passsive). Weight on the scales comes up at exactly 10lbs so while it's not anorexic, it's not made of pig iron - certainly it's balanced well and I find it perfectly comfortable. Condition is excellent and the colour is stunning in the flesh. I've never gigged it - just played it at home trying to get used to the extra string (and failing). Comes with Hiscox fitted hard case which is in good condition (a couple of scuffs here and there but the red velvet interior is pristine and all the locks and hinges work). When I bought it, Martin gave it a full set up and, at my request, put on flats (I can't now remember what brand they were but they were what Martin recommended for the bass). I love the sound and feel of them and the bass plays beautifully. The range of tones that are available is incredible and if it weren't for the fact that I just can't get used to five strings (and need cash!), this would be a keeper. Flaws? In the interest of full disclosure, there are two small holes drilled into the pickguard (see pics) where, I assume, someone fitted a pickup cover. And on the back around the battery cover, there's some discolouring of the paint (again, see pics). It looks in the photos as if the lacquer is lifting but in the flesh it doesn't feel like that - from some angles you can't see it so it seems to be that the reflective quality of the paint is different there, as if it's been touched up. Whatever, the finish is flawless to the touch - I didn't notice this when I bought it and only spotted it when I was taking the pictures so it looks worse in the photos than in real life. It's a tragedy to leave a bass this beautiful in it's (Hiscox) flight case and, as I say, I need to release some funds so I'm putting it up for sale. I won't post or courier - however I'm near Watford, just off the M25 and you're welcome to come round and give it a good check over and try-out - in fact, I'd prefer that. Alternatively, I'm happy to meet within a reasonable distance - please drop me a message and we can sort something out. Any questions, please ask! UPDATE: although I'd prefer a straight sale, I might consider trades, particularly lightweight cabs such as Berg or Barefaced [attachment=190421:SAM_0029.JPG][attachment=190422:SAM_0034.JPG][attachment=190423:SAM_0030.JPG][attachment=190424:SAM_0031.JPG][attachment=190426:SAM_0035.JPG][attachment=190427:SAM_0036.JPG][attachment=190428:SAM_0033.JPG][attachment=190429:SAM_0032.JPG]

withdrawn and moved to eBay

Moving date now set... This lot has to be gone by the end of the month if poss. Quick bump before I stick them on the Bay.

Light bars now sold. The rest is still here though!

Weekend bump.

Light bars now sold, price reduced accordingly With the demise of the band and my upcoming move "darn sarf", I have a garage full of gear that I have no immediate use for and don't have room for on the van. So, here's what I have; Yamaha EMX5016c powered mixer in rigid flight case with swan neck light (invaluable). This is in excellent condition, works perfectly with cables, mains lead and manual. Sold separately, I'm looking for £600 or near offer or you could buy it with..... A pair of EV passive speakers (ELX 115). They were bought with the Yam and are the perfect match for it. In covers. Work perfectly, a few knocks on the corners but nothing major. Come with Proel stands in a case. Sold separately, I'm after £250 for the pair. Sold with the Yamaha, it's £800 for the lot. Behringer PMP4000. Was our main PA for a year till we got the Yam and was our backup after that. In a Gator soft flight bag with all it's cables and (I think I can find) the manual. In some respects I found this more flexible than the Yam with a wider range of Aux sends. I know some folk can get a bit sniffy about Behringer but we never had a minutes trouble with ours. Mind you, I did get a bit precious about it at times and refused to let anyone else ever touch it... Condition is mint apart from missing the coloured top of one of the rotary knobs. If I can get down to Maplins, I'll get a replacement for it. Price on it's own? To you, Sir, a very reasonable £250, or you could pair it with.... A pair of Behringer Eurolive VP1220 passive speakers. These work perfectly but have suffered a bit cosmetically from being lugged around in the singer's car. One of the internal baffles (fancy name for the inside of a toilet roll) has come loose and the felt covering is worn and scuffed. But they work fine so they're £100 for the pair or £50 with the Behringer PMP4000 (that's £300 for the two speakers and powered mixer plus flight bag) . Next up is a Behringer Eurolive F1220a active floor monitor. This was used for monitoring the vocalist for about 18 months till we replaced it (the monitor, not the vocalist) with the Thomanns below. Condition is good - a few knocks and scuffs - and it works perfectly. Price on its own is £75. Then we have two Thomann "the Box" 100 powered floor monitors. We replaced the F1220 with these as they're a much smaller footprint, they're a lot lighter and it meant we could have separate monitors for each singer. Condition's ok - again, a few knocks and scuffs - and they both work fine. TBH, I would only use them for vocals as they f*rt out with a guitar going through them but for vocal or acoustic, they're excellent. £75 the pair or, with the F1220, £120 for all three. And finally, a pair of LED light bars with foot controllers, tripod stands, cables and cases. These are the Equinox Maxi Bar. The cases for the tripods are a bit ropey - they weren't good to start with - but everything else is in good nick. The cases for the bars are good with no rips and the zips all work fine. The bars themselves can be run independently or slaved together and can be run from a DMX controller. There's a foot controller for each or, if they're slaved, one controller runs both. There's loads of presets and you can control the speed of change, have them static and manually controlled or have them change in time to the music. One bar is ideal for those squashed-in-a-corner type pubs, two are plenty for most everywhere else on the pub circuit.... £300 the pair. Now, here's the thing. I'm in Lincolnshire (Spalding - just north of Peterborough) and I'm not able to deliver or post these so they have to be collection only. I'd prefer to sell everything as one job lot so if someone wants to come and collect all of the above, it's £1250 ovno for cash. Everything can be plugged in and tested before purchase and I will try and get some pictures on here as soon as I can get into the garage in daylight hours... If they don't shift in the next week or so, then they'll be going on the Bay with a Buy It Now of £1400. Any questions, drop me a pm...
