Burns-bass

I have a Musima bass identical to this and it’s done best part of 70 gigs a year, chucked in and out of vans, left in hot cars, humid places, etc and it’s always been rock solid and sounds great.

These are just exceptional amps. I’ve heard mine for hundreds of gigs and it just sounds fantastic.

My dad reckoned there was too much lead guitar, but given what she’s been through, was a wonderful gig.

My parents went to see her live and her voice is as great as ever!

This is a handmade pickup from the lovely chap Michael Zadow. I ordered this especially as a backup for gigs where I was worried about feedback. The magnetic pickup is big, bold and strong and looks the business in gold! It's held in place with velcro, and the jack socket is held in place under the pickup this way. It's actually a really good system. The pickup is a couple of years old and while it's sat on my bass for lots of gigs, it has hardly been used. You can learn more about the system here: https://www.zadow-electronics.de/pickup_e.htm Was thinking around £140, but I'll let you decide. This has been replaced by both a copper head and a Nadine, both of which has (so far, at least) worked without feedback. (To note, you'll need to use strings with a metal core or the pickup won't work.)

Still for sale!

£165 including postage and super cool case.

I got the price I paid wrong. I bought it for £160 which is a fairer price to sell it.

Cheers Brian! Was a lot of fun making it.

Barely used Trace Elliot Elf. it comes with a cool little custom case. I’ve cut the foam so that the Elf sits in there snugly. The speaker cable I’m going to keep, but it’s the perfect size for it. Owned from new. £165 + £10 delivery or collection from lovely Bristol.

I’ve started 2026 as I do most years, by trying to cut back on stuff I don’t use. This is my Precision bitsa. The body is a 70s Precision body I bought from @briansbrew It’s a 70s body that has many of the features of a Fender bass but it wasn’t sold to me as such and I can’t confirm it is. So let’s assume it’s not. Build includes: Classic Vibe neck Fender hi-mass bridge Kiogon loom Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders (new) The only sticking point is the weight. It’s heavy. Approaching 4.8kg (70s p bass style!) The whole bass plays and sounds amazing. I’m looking for £400 which reflects the cost to build it. If it doesn’t sell I’ll part it out, or keep it. I appreciate bitsa basses are marmite and many of you don’t like them. I didn’t too until I built this one. You’re welcome to come and give it a try!
