I appear to have accidentally become a bit of a Double Bass guy lately, so a lot of bass guitar stuff has started gathering dust. First up is a Line 6 Helix LT. I picked this up from this very boutique just as lockdown was starting, driving out to the wilds of Essex, and maintaining social distance. Given what ensued the timing was perfect. It's been a recording tool for both Bass and Guitar, and has been great for both. Everyone knows how flexible and customisable they are. It's running firmware 3.50 (the latest), and works perfectly. I'll give it a factory reset over the next couple of days. The finish is rugged, and I can't see any real knocks or scrapes, just a few light surface marks. It works exactly as it should, and has never given me a moments concern. It wears a screen protector I had sent from the States. and comes in the insanely expensive official backpack padded softcase. I would have never bought this at what they ask for it, but having had it come with the unit, I can see why they make it. It's rugged, well padded, has weatherproof zips, and obviously it fits perfectly. Looking at sales on here, I reckon a firm £550 collected from Bushey, Herts, is an absolute bargain.

I'll give that a go please! If you'd like to pm me payment details when you can. I have to drive the kids halfway up the country late morning, so if I'm a bit tardy picking up messages that'll be why. I'll definitely be back by teatime though.

Hi Mark Happy to answer any questions you might have.

I bought this a few days ago, from Leon C2 of this very parish, who was selling it because of its size, and after realizing I need to take the seats out of my car (as they don't fold flat), that it's a touch too big for my teachers (small) studio door, and has only an inch of clearance to my living room ceiling, I think it was a mistake. It's a real pity, as it's in excellent condition, rivets and stitching all as it should be, interior in great nick, with a bow clip, and handy pockets and wheels. Also, while it's a foam case, and pretty light with it, it has some kind of hard membrane, which makes it feel really solid and protective. It fits my 5 string Strunal no problem, and I can't imagine a 3/4 bass it wouldn't fit. It might even handle a 7/8ths size. Interior measurements are - Lower bout at widest - 66cm Upper bout at widest - 55cm Length (not including endpin fitting) - 196cm Back of bass to highest point of bridge - 51cm (tricky one to measure!) I thought it was a ridiculous bargain at the £50 I paid, and that's the bargain I'm passing on. If your environment is more suitable than mine, it's a great catch. Collection only from Bushey, Herts.
