Schecter Raiden Special-4 in great condition. I bought this about ten years ago purely out of curiosity but now is the time to thin the herd. For a Schecter, other than the striking red quilted maple top, it's surprisingly 'un-metal'. It's a bit glossy so quite hard to get any non-reflective pics. The controls are Vol-Vol-Tone with the Tone having a Pull/Push split function on both pickups simultaneously, although each can have the volume separately controlled. The fairly high-output humbuckers give a nice tone, but can be split into single coils and it does a decent impression of a Jazz on both PUPs, a 'barky' Jazz bridge on the back PUP or a nice single coil P-Bass on the front PUP. The rosewood fretboard is oiled up and currently fully set-up with rounds. No case, but I'm sure I can find some kind of basic gig-bag. Weighs in at 8.5lb (3.8kg) and can look into posting if need be. Here are some specs that I could find.... Body: Solid basswood body with quilted maple top finished in Black Cherry Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Neck Profile: Thin D Neck Thickness: 1st - 0.77" (19.5mm), 12th - 0.86" (21.8mm) Fingerboard Radius: 12.00" Nut Width: 1-5/8" (41.5mm) Scale Length: 34" Neck Details: Maple neck with unbound rosewood fingerboard and white dot inlays

Harley Benton MV-MSB short-scale bass in a fetching shell pink with roasted maple neck and laurel fretboard. The headstock is plain without any decals as the thick pink finish had a chip so required a sand down and resprayed in a vintage tint nitro to fit in with the neck. This isn't the Gotoh version of their bass, but other than the tuners not being Gotoh, it's the same bass. The fretboard has had the Monty's Wax finish, the frets have been levelled and nut grooves filed down where needed. Currently set-up and good to go with rounds fitted. Weighs in at a fairly light 8lb (3.6kg) and can look at posting if required. Here's the info on it..... https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_mv_4msb_shell_pink.htm

As above.... looks a bit wrong. Wrong string-tree, the late 70s decal looks a bit out of place, 21 frets and the angle of the top straight edge by the E tuner where it slopes down to the neck and nut looks too 'pointy'. Truss rod adjustment should be at the heel and even if that was just the truss rod 'plug' at the headstock end that had been gouged a bit, it wouldn't have one on a rosewood fretboard neck. Not too far from me so may drop him a line and go and have a look anyway..... even if it's just to break some bad news.

Morning, I checked my DB599. When the comp is maxed out I can't reach unity gain. Similarly, with the gain up full I reach unity gain with the comp at three o'clock.

Picked up a nice strap from Si this week. Great comms and fast delivery.

TC Electronic SpectraComp in excellent condition c/w box and the paperwork they come with (they didn't come with a power adapter)..... Ideal for people like me as they only have one knob, but you can use the TonePrints available on the app or desktop to choose your preferred type of compressor. Price includes postage.

Shin's Music Bass Master Preamp..... original box and paper stuff it came with (no power adapter though as it didn't come with one). Comes in its 'Grey Hammertone' finish, which is know to us all as Hammerite 🙂 Used to live on my small pedalboard, which is no longer used so time to move it on. The finish on the base came off when I removed the velcro unfortunately (see pic), so it can be left as it is or touched up with some fresh Hammerite 🙂 Oddly, the Drive Tone knob is located on the right hand side by where the instrument input is.... No idea why they did that. Price includes postage.

MXR Custom Shop Timmy Min i Overdrive in excellent condition c/w original box and paper gubbins (no adapter though as it didn't come with one). Just one of my overdrive experiments before I decided I didn't need one. A great little pedal though which has both bass & treble controls which are both cut with the bass being pre-OD signal and the treble being post-OD signal..... no loss of bottom end on the OD and the treble can take some edge off. Quite a lot it can do for a little pedal that works as well on bass as it does guitar. Price includes postage.

Bought a Plethora X1 from Dan this week..... good comms and fast delivery 🙂

Jim bought a pedal from me recently. Great comms, fast payment and very patient while we waited to see if someone before him who wanted it actually paid, which obviously didn't happen 🙂 Highly recommended.

MXR M288 Bass Deluxe Octave. Unboxed as I seem to have lost that, but in good condition. Has two tiny chips on a top edge.... one near the word 'Output' and the other on the same edge in-line with the footswitch (you'll need to zoom in a lot). Used to live on my pedalboard at one time. No power adapter as it didn't come with one. Price includes postage and here's the info.... https://www.jimdunlop.com/mxr-bass-octave-deluxe/

One Control Blue Hooker's Green Bass Machine complete with original box and gubbins.... Plus, the bag of little rubber feet. Apparently for the 'wide dynamic range of bass tube amps'. It's in 'as new' condition and hardly used as I prefer something a bit more 'toppy'. No power adapter as they don't come with one. Price includes postage. Here's the info..... https://one-control.com/products/hookers-green-bass-machine-4k

One Control Blue 360 AIAB complete with original box and gubbins, even the bag of little rubber feet. Apparently designed for that Acoustic 360 preamp sound. The thing is in 'as new' condition and never really left the house. No power adapter as they don't come with one. Price includes postage. Here's the info.... https://one-control.com/products/blue-360-aiab
