So is one mans junk anothers gold? The reason for asking is i have somehow just realised i have a Shedload (meaning not to be confused with an exaggeration i mean an actual shed full) of old musical equipment odds and sods. Now some of this comes from a time i was in a band with a lockup which when that fell apart a number of years ago i was left with the task of cleaning it out including all the stuff that had been left in the room from its previous studio use. The rest has been acquired over the years as we all do. I have a mass of wires/cables some old solid-state (vintage if you like) Amps of various brands like H and H/Wem etc some PA cabs,old speaker cabs plus other bits i have forgotten about plus the appropriate amount of old heavy bass gear. So my question is this can the none working bits be used as spares or projects by someone who is say doing a self build? is it worth my time to go through it all and see if i can clear it all out as i am going to buying a house soon and i don't fancy having it when i comes to moving? or do i just list it as a job lot on auction sites when i come to sell and hope a man with a van takes it away? does anyone on here have experience with clearing out in this way?

Never heard of these looks interesting http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/302092163442

[quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1475171802' post='3143771'] Im sure theres one of these in that bass shop in Camden. [/quote] Yep had a noodle on the one in the Gallery plays and sounds really nice but the body had some shrinking and cracks that were worrying. Can't remember how much is was either but I dont think it was as much as this one

Don't know why but spotted this you can't really miss it. never owned a Status but I find I'm drawn to them recently Oh and it's flippin pinker than a pink thing http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Status_Series_2000.html

As i can't see a topic started on this yet. Some amazing performances and great albums apart from the 1975(no idea how that got in). Tough call heart says Bowie/Radiohead or The Comet is coming

Great Gibson tone BRMC (yes strictly speaking it's a rivoli but still) Dan Maines of clutch used one for a fair bit of the earlier stuff now plays ricks and Pbass. Stooges when they reunited Mike Watt rocked an EB3 I have a Birched EB0 which was converted to EB3 style with his superflux pickup and better bridge etc it's a beast.

I have seen a couple of nice ones down in Gak Brighton but apart from that not come across many secondhand. Vintage yes but CS not very many.

As others have said tension can differ a fair bit I have recently purchased a set La Bella low tension flats and they feel great not cheap at 44quid a set but they are made with a light round core so more like a roundwound that a traditional flat string.
