NPUD (custom built and aguilar content)

Just got this beaut back from Dave Coates Audio in the North East today and I'm absolutely blown away... The neck pick up is a custom built super shallow pick up and is route free. It's as solid as it gets and works with the aguilar MM pick up tremendously! (The aguilar replaces the original EMG MMHZ, which I believed was an MMTW until he took it out and saw the sticker 🤷♂️) He's also taken the tone pump out and fitted a passive circuit... I approached Dave to see if he could route a space for a neck pick up, but he thought he could make a super shallow pick up that would avoid any damage to the bass... he wasn't wrong, and my mind is blown 🤯

Sorry for the delay, Al! It was bought brand new from Bassdirect for what I thought was a very reasonable price, especially when I had the bass in my hands the next day and realised the quality! You're right though, I can't imagine ever letting this go, I imagine It'll replace my Sandberg and spector as #1. Appreciate the kind words about my rig as well, it's taken a few new amp days to come back to my first gigging head (literally the same amp I sold, bought back years later)... oops!

I joined the yamaha BB club last week... genuinely blown away by both the build and tone, at any price point let alone a smidge above the price of a mex fender!

Sold elsewhere -
Regrettably selling my Tonehammer 500 Amp is 1 year old and in as new condition, as is the carry case, bought new from Andertons September 2018 Honestly one of the best sounding class D heads I've ever heard with a great warm faux tube tone with loads of mids detail, it's one of the heftiest class D amps you'll find and is literally made of air. Sounds unreal when paired with a pair of Aguilar 112's, but always sounded great through my barefaced 212 too. Amp is 500 watts into 4 ohms and very honestly rated, I've never wanted for more volume, and never had gain and volume past 12 o clock without front of house support in some fairly big rooms Price includes insured shipping Better pictures to follow...

I was literally just going to make a post doubting my barefaced, and this was near top of amps & cabs; Spooky! Glad you're enjoying your cab, man! I've always sworn my Barefaced big twin 2 was the best cab I'd ever used (albeit after getting a suspected manufacturing fault repaired after buying pre owned and the fault not becoming noticable until trying to use it with a tonehammer amp, but that's another long winded story). I've used 3 different heads through it, and currently using a TH500, I found the tone a bit lacking in areas despite what I'd read, a bit bland and smooth... Played through a pals Aguilar rig at a wedding this week using a TH500 and a pair of GS112 cabs, and the difference was staggering! The mid detail and growl was phenomenal, it had serious clout compared to my rig, and it's the exact same head! Now wondering if I've backed the wrong horse 🤔

Withdrawn from sale... going to look at pick ups etc instead of selling -
Thanks for that mate! 😁

Fair enough mate 🙂 GLWTS. -
Is local sale only?

DELANO PJ pick up set for sale. Taken from a Sandberg California II VT4 as I've decided to go a different route tonally. Great sounding pick ups with a big modern tone. Can't find any for sale on the second hand market, or for sale as a pair new but the P pick up seems to go for £89 new on it's own... looking for £80 ono for the set plus postage Delano logos have rubbed away (except for the L's... Delano must make some pretty heavy duty L's) -
Haha this is as low as it goes Damon pal...
-
Not really I'm afraid matey... feel free to PM what you had in mind, but I'm pretty set on a sale.

According to a friend in the know (Wilf of Ghost pick ups who removed it) this IS in fact a Glock pre-amp! Have edited to post to reflect -
Unexpected Bill's = unexpected price drop! £750 including hardcase

Selling my Source audio bass OFD as no room on my board for it... has a ton of great sounding bass distortion models in there, modelled on some great pedals voiced for bass. All programmable with 3 band EQ, gate and normal and Low pass filtered clean blends. Two separate foot switches for seamless switching between 2 patches. Also works with source audio hot hand and neuro hub. In used but good condition, velcro on bottom and no box but does come with original PSU priced to sell as £120-£150 new. Can drop off locally, or happy to post at buyers cost

**£700 ** Absolutely torn doing this as completely in love with this bass, but as much as this bass is the sound in my head, I've had to accept that it's not the right sound for my band 😭 Purchased from Rhysyjob last year in brand new condition (original sales post below). Bass is immaculate and comes with official Spector fitted hardcase (I purchased separately new from thomann for circa £150). Bass is just over 1 year old, has been gigged but never used in anger. Would prefer local collection or drop off but will ship at buyers cost. Looking for £850 ono including hard case.

As mentioned by a few folks already, certainly no intention of making a profit on gear, dont think ive ever let anything go for more than 3/4 of new price before. It's more a case of at this price point there shouldn't be a need to swap parts out (I also had to swap a tuner as it was loose from new, pmt sorted this for me though, I just had to fit it). These pick ups seem to work for a lot of people, but they seem very "marmite" to be the standard stock pick ups. Things never sound the same in the shop as they do in the mix 🤷♂️
-
I certainly fall into the category of "I've paid £1700 for a bass, I shouldn't have to spend more replacing pick ups" it's taken me years to come to this decision after almost selling it several times... Thing is, it's so light, plays like a dream, and every time I look at it I get all warm and fuzzy 😍

Bit the bullet on my Sandberg and have local pick up makers Ghost pick ups making me a PJ pick up set to replace the Delano's. Hes also going to remove the glock and add a new passive only circuit. Exciting times indeed!
