    SOLD!

    Sorry for the update delay, yup! Sold and gone fella
  2. Any pictures of the back of the guitar and neck at all?
  3. Hey there, here for sale I have an OLP MM2 bass that I have recently refurbished This bass came to me in a considerably worse for wear condition (pictures of before and during can be given on request) I have spent the last few months refurbishing it as best I can and the end results are pretty impressive given the state it was in when I got it Things I have done Stripped and refinished the body (thanks to grangur from this forum) Painted the headstock to match body Cleaned the fretboard, frets and neck Rewired Added a scratch plate Set up The fingerboard was grimier than a grimy thing when I got this bass and I have cleaned it up as best I can short of a defret and complete radius sanding so if you are expecting as new, shop quality finish on the fingerboard this isn't for you as the grime has engrained into the wood fairly well, but it does look good from no more than a couple of feet away, Doesn't sound like a lot but there has been a lot of work gone into this bass (more pictures on request) Only selling as I am really a precision guy and trying to raise funds for a little project I have in mind Bass sounds and plays fantastically with all the versatility of a jazz bass yet the sound And looks of a music man, currently strung with DR Strings NEON Hi-Def Green Bass SuperStrings Medium Gauge strings (all I had spare when I finished the guitar) I have a box of spare parts that I have acquired during the refurb that I will include in the sale, which include 2 X scratchplates (1 red tortoiseshell and 1 white) A bigger bridge Wilkinson MM Style pickup (despite pictures showing said pickup, the original one is back in the guitar due to the wires on the wilkinson being JUST too short) Extra, slightly thicker (as per original OLP's so I'm led to believe) control plate Looking for the asking price ONO just to cover the costs I have outlaid on this project Please no trades unless you have either a jazz bass neck with blocks and binding (if you have a whole guitar that has such a neck I'd certainly listen to any offers) MAY also consider a small ampeg combo (BA 110 or similar) Collection is fine, can post with the U.K. fully insured (included in price) or deliver for a cost of diesel if your more than 20 miles from Chelmsford, Essex Any questions/queries/offers/more pictures get in touch and I'll do what I can asap [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/24A12D01-97D3-4F05-BDEC-1D2CC653A4EA_zpsugvwqlrm.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/24A12D01-97D3-4F05-BDEC-1D2CC653A4EA_zpsugvwqlrm.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/5ED5E577-159B-4CE7-8902-CDF4D31239B5_zpsqd7kvkqh.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/5ED5E577-159B-4CE7-8902-CDF4D31239B5_zpsqd7kvkqh.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/DBF3AC16-04CD-4DF4-904B-32E846C5C9B5_zpsnki8h5i1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/DBF3AC16-04CD-4DF4-904B-32E846C5C9B5_zpsnki8h5i1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/113EFA27-F246-41E3-9F67-B733CD9D9F4C_zpsozwhxzed.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/113EFA27-F246-41E3-9F67-B733CD9D9F4C_zpsozwhxzed.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/63764E61-99F8-4AA5-ACFE-113DAD590C7B_zpsjqdip0nf.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/63764E61-99F8-4AA5-ACFE-113DAD590C7B_zpsjqdip0nf.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    SOLD!

    Selling my MXR Bass Octave Deluxe M288 pedal as it doesn't get any use anymore and I have my sights set on a new purchase Bought this about a year ago on here and have used it for maybe 10 minutes since, just sits in my bag being redundant now so comes the time to move it on, Looking to sell for what I gave for it OVNO Pedal is in as new, fully working condition, unfortunately no box or power supply but will throw in a couple of spare batteries and ensure it is well wrapped before shipping Price includes UK delivery, fully tracked and insured Would consider trades for an ampeg BA110 or a block inlay and bound jazz bass neck Any questions do get in touch [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/6A256B2A-6D17-4F60-A513-9518647A7CA6_zpslxmtfdki.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/6A256B2A-6D17-4F60-A513-9518647A7CA6_zpslxmtfdki.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  7. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1443720750' post='2877186'] I think you bought it from me and I never used the graphic [/quote] Was your one and really, couldn't be happier with it! Was just wondering really if there was an alternative ampeg that sounded as good, I can't seem to find any so the pro 2 is staying put, it's a shame I have no use for the graphic eq but, I guess it's always there if I did find a use for it, currently, there's no need
  8. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1443719676' post='2877177'] Not using the graphic is as valid a choice as using it. The features are there to be used or not depending on the sound you like. I don't understand why you think you should be using everything on the amp all the time. I didn't use the graphic on my Mesa 400+ or on the SVT3 PRO and I don't use much of the EQ on the TH500. If the basic sound is exactly what you want then where is the problem? [/quote] I can see your point but really I was mostly wondering if there was another amp that would match the pro 2 as I consider not using the graphic at all a bit of a waste I figured, if I could get, essentially a pro 2 without the graphic, then my one could be passed on and get used entirely, as does that make sense?!
  9. Think I'm inclined to stay with the majority, love the features and tone I am getting and from what you guys have said and what I have found, there is little chance of finding THAT tone elsewhere, I think that's why I started searching for a pro 2 before buying as if heard the pro 2 is the ampeg sound It's a shame that technically half of the amp remains unused and wasted for want of a better term but hey, if the rest of it can't be matched elsewhere, that's the flip side surely
  10. I'll try and keep this short....... I have an SVT Pro 2 which I run through an SVT Classic 6x10 cabinet To me, absolutely faultless, love it to pieces, with a p-bass, I've found "my" tone after ALOT of guitar and amp changes Anyway.......to the point....... As you may be aware my amp has a separate eq section that you can engage via foots witch for boosts, solos, tone changes etc I can honestly say, I never have and can't see me ever using this section of the amp, I'm wondering if it's worth selling / trading the pro 2 for another ampeg as it seems a waste to have it there unused is there an amp that is the SVT Pro 2 without this extra section? Basically I'm after the exact same amp but without a section that will be wasted Is it worth doing or should I just continue as I am if I am happy with my tone to this point?
  11. Almost put a bid on for the neck alone until I saw the added "mojo" could make a decent body for someone
  12. Hollowbody bass not sure why as I'm a precision guy but just feel the need to add a Hollowbody to my collection, thinking about ordering one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/181807291892 Oh, and a rosewood with blocks and binding neck for one of my homemade/home built precisions, specifically my 3 tone sunburst with tort pickguard specimen
  13. In a moment of madness I bought a set of DR Strings NEON Hi-Def Green bass strings and quickly decided, their not really me, still new, still unopened, 105 gauge (105, 85, 65, 45) Cost £35.99, looking for £16 posted within UK Would trade for a set of flatwounds of same / near as dammit gauge
  14. Based in Chelmsford, Essex, the amp is currently at a friends in Southend if that's any good
