  1. For sale is my recently acquired Maruszczyk Elwood Absolution 4 string bass. It’s a lovely instrument which weighs in just over 9lbs. As you will no doubt already know these basses are ridiculously well specified. In this case the bass has an alder body, flamed maple top, a flamed maple neck, an ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlays and an exquisite pearl binding around the neck and body. Electronics wise I believe the circuit is Maruszczyk’s own two band with a push pull active/passive control and the pickups are Delano single coils. This bass does the jazz bass on steroids thing very well and has a excellent level of build quality. As you would imagine for a bass which is practically new the condition is excellent with the exception of some tiny scratches in the lower cutaway which I have only just noticed owing to the deep black shiny finish. I have tried to photograph this as best as I can manage. Other that this the bass is immaculate. A well padded Maruszczyk gig bag is provided. I would much prefer to meet up with any prospective buyer in person although shipping can be arranged if necessary and by prior arrangement and discussion. I have a decent box to use for shipping and I am prepared to help with the costs. If you have any questions please do let me know. Cheers, Mark.
  2. Fabulous playing! Not many bassists reference Brian Bromberg which surprises me as he has to be one of the most complete bassists in the history of the instrument. The bass sounds pretty sweet too.
  3. Cracking little octave pedal for sale complete with power supply. It’s pretty much as new and may have been used three of four times at the most. Here is a link to the web page for the product. Free mainland UK shipping included. https://idonner.eu/collections/pitch-shifter-modulation/products/donner-digital-octave-guitar-effect-pedal-harmonic-square-7-modes
  4. I am selling my Electro Harmonix Bass preacher which is only a couple of weeks old. Great pedal but no longer needed. There are some excellent videos on the web demonstrating this pedal’s abilities. The pedal comes with box and is as mint as is practically possible. A free patch cable will be supplied along with UK mainland postage. PRICE REDUCED TO £49
  5. For sale my recently acquired Nemphasis Oxygen 2 pre amp, which comes from an excellent well made Italian boutique brand. If you need to dial some sparkle into your tone then this will do the job brilliantly. The pedal comes boxed and is as close to as new as you are going to get with no visible marks of any kind. I will include free UK mainland postage and a patch cable as well. This pedal is currently £160 at renowned UK shop The Bass Gallery. Please follow the link to a great demo which is unfortunately in Italian. However the playing speaks for itself.
  6. Happy to take this off your hands if you can ship it to me in a gig bag of sorts. Please message me a price including insured shipping to Wigan. Apologies, please disregard, I have just looked more carefully at the images and read the description properly. It’s a little too worn for me. I appreciate it’s 20 years old by the way. Sorry my bad, I am sure it will do a great job for someone. GLWTS.
  7. Absolutely fabulous instrument, I hope it sounds as nice as it looks.
  8. I blooming love this bass, looks awesome and I am sure will sound just as good!
  9. @Oldman, hello Brian, there is one at Promenade Music which rather strangely is in Morecambe just down the road from where this cab is located. So you can grab two at once if you wish. Cheers, Mark.
  10. I haven’t tried one but they are reputed to build really high quality basses. That being said I have seen a few for sale on here recently and most of them have hung around for a bit. That being said I can say the same for ACG and Alpher and both companies make excellent instruments.
  11. As new DB Elbee 1 x10 cab for sale or trade. Purchased a couple of months ago and in absolutely as new condition this cab will make an excellent light weight solution for small gigs, and rehearsals. It packs a serious punch, is easily carried with one hand and comes with a DB cover. Personally I think this cab sounds just as good as the Barefaced ones I have tried, is probably a touch heavier and is built to last. Please see the link below for further details. https://www.db-bass.com/elbee I will happily consider trades or exchanges for quality 1 x 12 and 2 x 10 cabs ( Eich, Aguilar, GK, Mark Bass, Genzler etc) , with cash adjustments either way depending on what is on offer. The DB retails at £445. Sorry about the lack of photos, I will take some more and post them tomorrow. I would much prefer collection or a meet up rather than sending by post. However I can probably post within mainland UK as a last resort. Insured postage will be provided in this instance at an agreed fee. Please note that it is likely to be quite costly. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please drop me a line.

    Weight

    In recent times I have developed shoulder and neck problems to go along with my glass back. I play at home most of the time whilst seated but still use a strap. I recently had a very nice Fender Jazz Ultra but it felt like a lump of lead and several basses later finally found the Sandberg Superlight models. Mine is a TM so there is loads of tonal variation and the weight is just over 6 pounds. This seems like a more sensible way forward for me. The body wood is paulownia which originates from Spain and has amazing resonance. So far so good.
  14. It’s 30 inches.
  15. Someone please buy this bass. It’s one of the best jazz basses money can buy at a decent price. The build quality is second to none!
  16. I believe so. I have followed him for years, he’s an incredible talent. He’s not even a full time bass player. He is a racing car mechanic and engine builder! The Sandberg he has chosen seems to suit him nicely, he still sounds pretty much the same though, which is strange as he has gone from P/J to J/J.
  17. The resonance from the body is quite exceptional and the range of tones on offer is so wide that I think after years of trying and not settling on any one bass (effectively going backwards and forwards between other instruments and Fenders ) I have found a bass that seems like it can really do most things very well. The abalone inlays are also totally stunning. 😀
  18. I appreciate your input. I wish I had listened when buying my Fender Ultra Jazz which I subsequently sold as it was the weight of a small planet.
  19. I appreciate your positive input. On a previous thread when I bought a Fender Jazz Ultra you advised me to look at Sandberg.If I had done so at the time I would now be quite a few quid better off. 😞
  20. After years of curiosity and listening to some conflicting opinions regarding Sandberg basses , I decided to take the plunge earlier today and picked up a Greenburst California Superlight TM4. I have been having neck,shoulder and some arm problems in recent years which forced my retirement from playing drums, so I am hoping the light weight of the SL will make for a pleasant playing experience ergonomically speaking. Having heard the bass today I am convinced that tone won’t ever be an issue. 😀
  21. Sent you a pm. cheers, Mark.
  22. It’s the tone I am after. Something that’s pretty forward that also has some zing to it.
  23. I imagine this might cure my gas for a jazz bass. I know it’s probably a silly question but how does it sound when compared with the Suhr you recently sold?
