[quote name='birdy' post='146307' date='Feb 25 2008, 12:16 AM']Got to keep the gear moving! I am just rationalising my position to one of clarity as they say! As always kids, dont try this at home Steve[/quote] I'm doing the same Steve. I was telling someone today that I've got my gear down to a maneagable level. They asked me what that was, and I replied: "6 basses, 4 guitars, 1 upright bass, 3 amp heads, 3 cabinets, a bass combo, a guitar combo, 2 pedal boards and a box of leads". They struggled to see how that lot was a rationalisation, but it made sense to me at the time :-) Had they seen me 3 months ago, they would have shudderred :-)

Birdy, PMd/ I'll take it and pay tonight. Cheers, L

Seriously, Phil's signature took up nearly an entire page of A4 paper, and was not the same as the signature on the cheque he used to pay for the item. Odd hey? For those that asked, pictures will be up tomorrow :-)

Still waiting for the feedback Phil :-) Massive signature as well (if anyone wants Phil Oakeys signature BTW, let me know and I'll see if I can dig it out on the letter he sent me)

This is an add for one of the oddest and most amazing basses I've ever owned...! This is one of the rarer Roland GR models, with the sophisticated bass processor including one CPU per string to aid tracking. Launched around 1986, the GR77b cost around £3,000 new. The GR77b is a six-voice polyphonic synthesizer based on the classic Roland JX8P and mounted in a substantial floor unit. Patch selection is via the footpedals, other options are controlled via membrane buttons (all working) - an edit map, which sticks on the unit magnetically, is included. The GR77b outputs MIDI data but does not respond to it, so it's purely a sound source for the guitar or a MIDI interface for it. Patch storage is via M16-C cartridges, which are quite commonly available on eBay and were shared with many Roland synths, I will include one cartridge (though it doesn't have JX8P patches on, it can still be used to store new patches). The G77b is a four-string, 34" bass guitar with graphite stabiliser for improved tracking. It's very well balanced, though a little heavy, and includes dual pickups as well as the dedicated Roland pickup. It's fully playable as a bass guitar without the electronics, and has (IIRC) Ernie Ball super-slinky strings I fitted a while ago. Proper bassists that have tried it have commented on how well it plays, in much the same way that the regular GR700 impresses. I had one of these before and sold it to Phil Oakey of Human League fame. Nice chap but the old bastard didn't leave me any feedback. This set-up is incredibly rare in this condition, and would have set you back £3000 in the olden days, but I'm selling it for £700, or a trade for something sexy. Current users of this bass system include Ministry, Justin Medal Johnson, BEck and of course, the Human League! Pictures later today, but you can check some out here...

Hi all, I've got for sale 2 guitars! They are: [b]1958 Silvertone/Danelectro U1.[/b] This is the first generation Danelectro, with 1 lipstick pickup. With its original finish and original pickup and wiring this is a rare guitar, especially in the UK. The guitars neck is straight as an arrow, and all the hardware is original. It plays fantastically. This giutar is a bit of a project however, with the back chrome cover plate missing, som refinishing on the back and the pickup is moving around a bit (an easy fix). This guitar if perfect would be around £500, so I'd say £250 is a fair price. Ready for your delictation, and pics will be available later if you want to see them. [b]1940s/1950s Czech Parlour/Archtop guitar with Original Case![/b] This guitar is a great 40s/50s Czech archtop which plays beautifully. This old jazzer has a wonderful sound, courtesy of a reasonably high action. 've used this as a slide guitar, which is perfect for it. This guitar has the well travelled original case, and has been with me for about 5 years, I'm sad to see it go. A guitar with tons of history, for only £150. Pics later too. Any questions, please ask!!!

BUMP TO THE TOP FOR THE DRQ

Hi Steve, lovely bass. I remember being offerred one of these for £2,000 a few years ago. That's rapid appreciation! Good luck with the sale, I'll ask around and see if anyone I know's interested (god knows I am, but I'll struggle to get the money!) Cheers, Lawrie

Hi mate, I really like the bass and I admit it is beautiful, I'd be happy to make you an offer in line with the price of this bass... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1963-Fender-Precision-Bass-Original_W0QQitemZ310020967674QQihZ021QQcategoryZ33040QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1963-Fender-Precisio...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Which is pretty much the same but with a pretty poor looking refin.

[quote name='dlloyd' post='138702' date='Feb 12 2008, 10:19 AM']That's the price from Schaller. Edit: Not clear though whether that's the price for a single tuner... [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_bml_534_4l1r.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_bml_534_4l1r.htm[/url][/quote] Hilarious!

[quote name='dlloyd' post='138006' date='Feb 11 2008, 10:13 AM']New ones run to about £40 for a single.[/quote] That's pathetic I have to say. £40 for one of those. They must cost about £1.50 to make. Still, business is business yo!

If it was me - and I'm being candid here - I'd maybe not jump at a parts bass that I hadn't put together myself. That's not to say that nobody would be, but for something like this, people are often very picky. A refinned pre CBS jazz is going to set you back (if you can find one) about £2300 - £2800 so you're in that ballpark. It looks like a great bass, and even if it's just a visual first impression, i tlooks like it would knock spots off a custom shop reissue. The neck itself looks beautiful, 66' is one of the best years for Fenders as collectible legend goes... If I win Lotto Euromillions I will buy this bass off you and love it. I will also then amass the worlds greatest collection of vintage Fender Jazz Basses, but that's another story! This is a promise and I will swear by it!

Hi mate, sad as it might seem, you might be better off selling the jazz as separate pieces. It's worth a fortune in bits. I'm just putting it out there... Cheers, L

Mobius, FAB Chorus and Wah Pedal have all gone (although no payment yet for any so will keep the listing updated). Cheers everyone :-)

Hi, I've got... Dr Q - with wooden box, nearly mint. £35 delivered. Everything else is firmly nestled on pedalboards around the country :-) Behringer DI Box, boxed with instructions, minty! £18 delivered. Everyone needs one of these! PM me if you want them, can send any day. Thanks! L

[quote name='far0n' post='132054' date='Feb 1 2008, 05:01 PM']Make that £715 from Thomann ![/quote] One stands corrected. Great cabs, I'll keep my mouth shut :-)
