I just bought Laurie’s Cort A5 Plus FMMH and it’s a beauty at a great price. Quick dispatch and very well packed. Very easy and efficient messaging so I recommend Dan Dare very highly indeed and will be happy to buy again. Thanks Laurie. Quent

Many thanks to Doctor J who just bought my pair of G&L bass Humbuckers. Great comms and lots of patience as I updated him on delivery to Ireland from UK with Customs fees involved. Friendly throughout the deal so I can recommend Doctor J very highly. Quent

Hi everybody and I hope all’s well where you are. Got misenn a nice Lakland Skyline 44-02 ( 2011 ). For variety ( got a 55-02) and to have a tone control when in passive mode I’ve had the pre swapped out by Steve at guitarlodge.co.uk ( for a 3 band Glock) so he’s checked over the LH3 and replaced the old dodgy 3 Way toggle switch with a new one for the humbucker coils ( Either or Both). Tested by Steve, this is good to go. Labelled up. The jack socket is fine and didn’t need replacing. Push Pull Vol for active/passive, pickup blend, Bass Mids Treb. He adjusted the small Gain screw ( see photo) on the Pre board to match active and passive volumes. The board’s mid frequency adjustment dip switches are set to 550 Hz but suit yourself with the options , see photo below. Really useful adjustment this. ( I nicked the photo highlighting the Gain screw so that shows the dips set at 500Hz ) Pot shafts are 6mm split and the soft touch rubbery ( with plastic inserts ) Lakland knobs are included and look hardly used. Thanks for looking. Quent

Hi everyone. This is Revision 1.1 Pre Amp + Pots and switches - Still available for £40 ( Pickups now sold - hence £150 Originally) I got a G&L USA L2000 (2002 ) recently and have had it refreshed with a new preamp and pickups by local excellent bass and guitar technician Steve Barratt at guitarlodge.co.uk in Felixstowe. He’s prepared the old preamp for me to resell, replaced one faulty switch and bought a new jack socket and made all connections good. Then Tested by himself. Steve labelled the parts ( Blend is the neck/both/bridge switch ). The board is Rev 1.1 as you’ll see in the photos along with Paul Gagon’s ( Ex G&L electronics top guy) low down on the Revisions 1997 and 2011 ? but see what I extracted from Basstalk site. Very minor revisions ,he writes, and the latest (2011) Rev 1.3 has some filter to cut out possible radio interference which some players’s set ups or location can occasionally pick up. Must be rare that, because the Rev was only introduced after donkeys years from first edition preamp. £40 includes UK delivery. No knobs ( on my bass ) but Armstrong sell beauties to fit ( see photo ) aluminium, super shiny chrome finish and knurled nicely rather than pointy-style like some. Thanks for looking. Quent

Meanwhile, ahead in the future by 14+ years ! WD40 just work fine this afternoon ( Put yer Marigolds on!) for meon a 3 ply plastic Tort Fender Jazz pickguard. Bought a used bass but the film had been on this guard for years I think. Wrinkled and a fiddle to pull off the film in several pieces. The whole guard had seemingly most of the adhesive left all over it. A clean cotton rag I used. Sprayed plenty WD40 on one half and rotated the rag after wiping off towards one end. Then a new rag to do the other half , working towards the other end. 2nd spray to finish it all off. Then paper kitchen towel rub down followed by warm water and washing up liquid front and back. Rinse. Looks nice n shiny. No damage to the shiny surface at all. So, +1 WD40 in Jan 2024. From total mess to shiny with 5 mins of work ( Once I got the chuffin film off - 45 really ! ) Cheers all. Quent.

I just bought Gerry’s Squier Mini P and I can’t recommend him high enough to do a deal with. Great communication, packaging, price and loads of patience when the collection from him was delayed by the courier. Friendly and helpful with advice too. Thanks Gerry!

Hi everyone. My Stingray is in perfect condition having first been owned 2012-16 by a collector in Scotland who didn’t play. I bought it from Tom Mulraney of Hoffnine Custom Cabinets in Aidrie in April 2016. It’s had home play only with me since then and my own collection means it hasn’t been played much by me so there is no visible wear of the frets and the the body is swirl and damage free. Strung with a set of Elixir nanoweb coated nickel plated strings with plenty of life in them still. The original pick guard had minimal swirls so I’ve bought an identical 3 ply BWB guard. The original case is Mint too so opening this up you’ll see what the original purchaser saw back in 2012. The bass is currently at The Gallery , Camden, London and has been Bass of the Week there from 18th Dec until 8th Jan. I can call it back from there any time I need to and post on to you UK insured (£2000) delivery or within Europe if you pay the extra postage. (The Gallery won’t entertain anyone trying it there then buying from me.) Weight 4.2kg , 9lbs 4oz Swamp Ash Body 34 inch Scale, 41.3mm nut, Neck Radius 11 inch. Matching Headstock Neck finish Gunstock Oil and Hand-rubbed wax blend Super clean of course and I gave the dark rosewood fretboard an oil clean and fret polish recently. I took the photos in a low sun so a few reflections that look like grubby marks and a little dust looks like slight swirling but there are in fact none. Others phots at thebassgallery.com. White guard is included and the truss rod bar tool and saddles allen key. I’m lucky to have owned this beauty and it’s wonderful to play but after a few years my curiosity to try other basses needs funding. Cheers and please ask if you need more information. Quent

Mark just bought my Lakland Tribute Custom PJ 44-64 and he was a pleasure to sort the deal out with. Spanning before Xmas to early Jan 24 it was easy as he paid a good deposit promptly before the balance in January as we had agreed. Thanks again for an easy sale Mark. Quent
