Great isn't it! Really looks the part!

Kay K-162 short scale semi hollow bass. Reissue of the 50s models but with a centre block to help with feedback in loud live situations. Great fun bass to play, has the original flatwounds on that sound lovely and warm through the single coil pickup. Toggle switch to bypass the tone control useful useful for quick tone changes, originally used so bass players could switch from electric to "upright" sounds. Bought from a fellow bass-chatter at the start of the year and had loads of fun playing and recording with it, but moving it on to clear a bit of room. Basstheworld vid below gives a good description of the instrument and its many uses. Great secret weapon for studio work and comes with the original case in good condition as well as the accessories inside. Cash on collection from SE London (near Crystal Palace). Offers welcome, of course. Would consider trades for a black JMJ mustang or other short scale delights! But also any trade offers considered.

Just picked up one of these in black and it's a great sounding bass. All the vintage 50s and 60s tones you could need as well as the deep, thumpy secret weapon in the toggle switch! I'm also told it's a marked improvement on the original 50s model as it actually has a truss rod as well as a centre block inside, so it's very giggable (not a word)

Beautiful bass, have jumped two-footed into your DMs

Up for sale is my Broughton Fliptop, B-15 modelled preamp. Bought on here a little over a year ago and seen some gigging use but still in great nick and fully functional. I believe this model is now discontinued. £160, cash on collection preferred from the Crystal Palace area, or can meet within reasonable distance. Can arrange delivery at buyer's cost. Offers welcome. Can't include the manual unfortunately as it wasn't included when I bought it. Broughton make some lovely pedals and I've found the Fliptop's been really versatile and especially with the cab sim blend control and simple B-15 two-band EQ. Broughton's description is as follows, "The Fliptop is a JFET preamplifier that is modeled after the B15 amplifier. The gain staging and EQ sections were carefully designed to give the feel and response of the vintage tube amp, offering a good range of pillowy tone that can be driven to the point of light overdrive if pushed. In addition to the James stack EQ and gain staging, the Fliptop adds a Master volume control on the output so you can dial in the amount of drive you want while adjusting the volume as needed. The Cab knob is essentially a wet/dry control, allowing you to apply 0 to 100% of the cab tone to the preamplifier output. Dialing in more of the cab response tightens the low end and cuts the high frequencies for a warm, vintage tone. The frequency response is modelled after the 15" cab. The pedal requires a 9V DC power supply (not included). The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. The current draw is approximately 12 mA. The power supply may be increased up to 24V DC with the result of more clean headroom and a slight increase in boost. The Fliptop has a true bypass switch. Dimensions: 4.77" long x 2.6" wide"

These American Standard Fenders are great and this one seems to be at a pre-inflation price! Real bargain for anyone looking for a solid fiver 😎

Not entirely sure about the different types of lacquer or the processes involved, but I have an AVRI '63 and I can attest that the nitro finish on these basses is very thin; you can basically talk it into wearing off the instrument. I would suspect then that the "flash coat" is just referring to the thin nitro finish itself, rather than an additional protective layer as these basses wear very nicely over time. This one looks like it's been looked after a lot better than mine.. GLWTS, it's a beautiful looking bass.

These are superb preamps, very highly recommended. GLWTS

Have PMd you 👍

For sale is a Panda Audio Future Impact v3 Bass Synth. Bought the pedal in May 2020 and has only seen use at home. Never rehearsed or gigged with the pedal so is in excellent condition, as can be seen in the photos. These are very powerful, very versatile synth pedals. Based off of the original Akai Deep Impact pedal and famed for its use by Chris Wolstenholme of Muse. A tonne of info on the FI v3 here: http://pandamidi.com/bass-guitar-synth/ Bought new for €299, open to sensible offers. Cash on collection preferred from South East London.
