[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1438769755' post='2837017'] Another small fix my pride & joy and sole appreciating asset There's no masking tape label inside the Pro II-Es. Your best bet for establishing its original identity is either through the [url="http://www4.cs.fau.de/~koesters/Privat/Wal/walspec.html"]Wal database [/url]if it's listed, or from Wal & Pete's original notebook which I am assuming still exists and will now be in Paul's possession. Incidentally, if anyone ever comes across one of the original factory retro-fit DI kits for the Pro II-E, please let me know. [/quote] +1 Rich Nice looking Pro IIe GLWTS

Passive EQ, bass and treble boost, blend-able FX loop, tuner out, line out and a high pass filter which is great if you like your 'Old-Skool' bass tones (which I do)..[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif].[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828][b]Note about the compressor:[/b][/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There is a design flaw with the optical compressor on this range of amp. Basically, if you have the gain stage set quite high and then utilise the compressor, it introduces a lot of harmonic distortion, which is not good.. However, if you're careful with it, you can get some use out of the compressor. Tech Soundsystems knew about this design flaw and offered first-time buyers the chance to exchange the amp for a different model in their range, but the previous owner declined that option back in 2009 when it was offered to him..[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This amp also had a new power supply board fitted in 2009 and has been fine ever since.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm more than happy to ship this (which would probably cost around £10-12) and if so, postage costs will be on top of the price.. Equally, if you're local and want to come and try it out, you'd be very welcome.. [/font][/color] Am also going to be selling some other amps soon as well, namely an old [b]Peavey MK IV[/b] circa 1982 with original foot switch, and a [b]Yamaha BBT500H[/b], so please look out for those if they're your kind of thing.

[b]Another BUMP![/b]

[b]BUMP [/b]

[b]*** SOLD ***[/b] Hi Folks Having just bought another 5 string bass, it's time to move on this very nice [b]Schecter Diamond P Custom 5[/b] String bass, which is in extremely good condition and sounds amazingly good if you want a combination of P-bass thump and MM style funk all in one! I bought in on here about three years ago and have used it for a number of rehearsals and a few gigs in that time only, so it's still pretty much in the condition it was when I picked it up back then. There are a couple of tiny dings on it, but they really are tiny.. [b]Photos: [/b]Anyway, here are some photos... I have more but have reached my upload limit, so will try and sort that out later. You can always PM me your email address though, and I'll happily send them over to you.. [attachment=197665:20150731_105235.jpg] [attachment=197666:20150731_105322.jpg] [attachment=197668:20150731_105401.jpg] [b]Details: [/b]It's a [b]35" scale[/b], [b]passive[/b] bass, with an very even tone across all the strings and has a pretty thunderous sounding B-string! Though it's passive, the switching allows you to get a [b]P Bass[/b] tone, [b]Jazz bass[/b] tone and a [b]MM bass[/b] tone too and with all of that, it has a really [b]hot[/b] output to it - which is how Schecter designed these things; have a look at this Schecter video clip here: [url="https://youtu.be/NVj6u5reiX8"]https://youtu.be/NVj6u5reiX8[/url] [b]Full spec[/b] available here on the Schecter website: [url="http://www.schecterguitars.com/international/vault/listing/diamond-p-custom-5-2013-12-13-detail"]http://www.schecterg...13-12-13-detail[/url] And here's a video of the [b]actual bass[/b] itself, played by it's previous and original owner, when it was strung E-C: [media]http://youtu.be/AAINOi0bS8o[/media] [b]Price: [/b]Price-wise, I think these were over £600 when they first came out but now if you can still find one, they retail just above the £500 mark, so I'm thinking that a price of around £350 including case for one in such good condition is about right, but if you'd like to make me an offer, then please feel free to PM me - least I can do is say no.. As you can see, GAK sell the 4 string version for about £300: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/schecter-diamond-p-bass-13-blue/80009"]http://www.gak.co.uk...s-13-blue/80009[/url] And Richtone sell this model at £519: [url="http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/schecter_diamond_p-custom_5_white.asp?gclid=CjwKEAjw__atBRDfqe-9voylym8SJAAOBeQ_LUIYOMH-P5x-hOuu3ZEqO2VFYH1IYifOyAB1GBA6dxoC4U3w_wcB"]http://www.richtonem...BA6dxoC4U3w_wcB[/url] [b]Shipping etc: [/b]I'm always happy to ship basses and have plenty of packaging at the moment, so if you want it and you want me to ship it, I can promise you that it will be well packed!! Shipping costs are additional to the price of course, and I always recommend that you pay the extra to have a bass properly insured.. Equally, feel free to come and give it a try if you're local to me in West Sussex - you won't be disappointed (by the tea and biscuits anyway).. Any questions, please ask here or send me a PM. Thanks for looking, Nik

Nice looking bass... Just to say that I just bought a Roscoe Beck V from Nico and he's a really good person to deal ; I must admit that I was a little concerned at first about buying a bass from abroad that I hadn't seen or tested, but after a series of PMs with Nico, I was happy to proceed. Throughout the whole process, communication was really good all the way and the bass arrived from Paris really well packaged up and exactly as described - I'm really happy with it in fact! GLWTS

Weekend BUMP And PMs replied to..

Thursday morning, 'OMG where has the week gone already?' type BUMP...

[quote name='Ghosts Over Japan' timestamp='1438089251' post='2831533'] CRAZY £500 PAYPAY PRICE-DROP BUMP! [/quote] +1 That's an amazing price for such a versatile bass!

Cheers for that info, Stuart.. You're absolutely right! By spending a £100 or so on a second-hand J-Retro or something similar, you could have a superb 5 string 'super jazz' on your hands for less than £500!

BUMP for a great value, quality 5 string Jazz!

Very nice indeed!
