Had a couple of requests about the weight of the bass, so I've weighed it on our really old bathrooms scales. The reading says it's a shade under 4kg which doesn't surprise me given that it's an Ash body.

Can't disagree with any of that @FDC484950 It's that dreaded GAS at work again though, otherwise....

Hi Folks So, this really, really is a feeler, but as I said in another for sale thread, I have my eye on something else, so am putting this beautiful example of a Fender Roscoe Beck 5 String & OHSC for sale. I'm looking for £SOLD or very near offer for this beautiful Fender signature series bass, which many have described as the best Fender 5 string bass ever made. The bass is in superb condition and has one ding on the underside of the body which hopefully can be seen in the photos. A completely passive bass, it has two double wound Bill Lawrence pick-ups that offer you series/parallel/single configuration for each pick-up , offering you a plethora of sounds/tones from standard Jazz Bass to the most modern Humbucker sounds. It's perhaps a little bit darker tonally than a standard Jazz bass, but with stainless steel round wounds, this bass works with any genre of music and any type of band. Here's a great thread about the RBV bass on TalkBass: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/roscoe-beck-bass-v-5-string.38034/?amp=1012489606 And here are some YouTube links: The bass is currently strung and set up by mecto my taste, which means it has quite a high action and heavier gauge Carvin strings, so it would definitely benefit from a professional set up.. On that point and just to clarify, the truss rod is working perfectly so that won't be a problem. As ever, I'd prefer to sell this to someone who could come and try it out in person here in Littlehampton West Sussex first however, I am prepared to ship it at buyer's expense by insured courier service. If you've any questions, please PM me or ask away here and I'll try to get back to you ASAP. I am away in Birmingham from tomorrow afternoon for 3 days , so please bear in mind that I may not be able to answer certain questions until I get back. Advertised elsewhere btw, and I reserve the right to change my mind as I really do love the RBVs that I've had over the last 12 years... but that dreaded GAS does come along to fry the common sense circuitry in my brain from time to time.. Thanks for looking as ever 😊 Nik

Thanks @karlfer Really appreciate the info! 😊

Thanks.. Not really ; I'm almost embarrassed to say that I had to look him up just now to be absolutely sure who he is.. 😳

Hi Folks, This is a bit of a feeler really as I have my eye on something else.. So, this is - as far as I can tell from the serial number - a Made in Japan Fender Precision bass, circa 1991/2. I'm looking for £SOLD or very near offer for this beauty. It sounds and looks great, has a beautiful Ash body and a slim, almost Jazz like maple neck and is in brilliant condition for a 27 year old bass. It's everything a 70s P Bass should be IMHO ! 😊 Full disclosure ; there's one tiny ding on the neck which I'll try to photograph tomorrow when there's hopefully some decent light.. It has been set up professionally and is currently strung with a set of Rotosound steels. Comes with a functional hard case. As ever, I'd prefer to sell this to someone who could come and try it out in person here in Littlehampton West Sussex first however, I am prepared to ship it at buyer's expense by insured courier service. If you've any questions, please PM me or ask away here and I'll try to get back to you ASAP. I am away in Birmingham from tomorrow afternoon for 3 days , so please bear in mind that I may not be able to answer certain questions.. Thanks for looking as ever! 😊 Nik

Hi Folks, I was fortunate to win this EHX Mini Q-Tron pedal at the recent South East Bass Bash but because I already have one, I've decided to put this up for sale. This wasn't my original intention when I won it tbh, but my slightly crazy plan to use two at the same time didn't quite work out as planned.. 😁 If you're looking at this for sale thread, then I guess you probably know about the Mini Q-Tron already but in case you don't, what I'd say is that it's one of those FX units that is a load of fun to play with.. To quote another Basschatter @Mikey Rwho sold one of these recently '.. it's great for funk and psychodelia, it also works really well with distortion pedals, octive pedals and LFO based effects to produce synth type tones.' This one comes in its original cool & very 70s retro wooden box and is in reasonable cosmetic condition, as the photos show. Otherwise, it's in good working order and makes a great noise! There isn't a PSU with it unfortunately , but it will work absolutely fine using a regular 9v battery. Alternatively, the enclosed instructions provide details of what kind of PSU is required for it. I'm happy to post at buyer's expense or happy to demonstrate it working for anybody who lives close enough to Littlehampton, West Sussex and wants to visit... Tea/Coffee /Biscuits provided of course! Any questions, please send me a PM or ask away here and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for looking! 😊 Nik

Great amps these.. Super loud, tonally very flexible and has a nice valve pre section that really warms up your tone.. Not too heavy either, so a good choice if you want that Class A/B sound but still care about what your carrying around from gig to gig. Very good seller too btw... GLWTS

+1 I have one and have to agree with you @owen.. It makes a great noise, even with my playing ! 😁

And even more so at this price too! It's insane for a cab of this quality.... GLWTS Jon.

Absolutely! Good to see you back on here btw@GreeneKing.. 😊

+1 😁

I have one of these and it's absolutely amazing ; super loud as @Dood has already said, but it's got much more to it than that - it's tonally very flexible and has a bit of 'heft' about it too! 😊 Completely surprised me how good it is to be honest.. Anyway, GLWTS..

Fabulous! GLWTS
