I enjoyed that, Jon. Stong tune, well played. Felt to me like a prog Big Country.

Sigma BMC-1STE electro-acoustic bass. 34" scale. Lovely thing. Premap with tuner and eq. Currently strung with La Bella white nylon tapes, which give enough thud to sound good and bassy but with more bite tha the black ones. I've never used it! Great nick. Comes with a TGI Extreme gig bag. Priced to sell at £250 £200 collection only from South Benfleet in essex or maybe meet half way.

Hondo Alien. Kind of a Kramer Duke copy. 30" short scale, headless, aluminium neck. Guaranteed to play mind games with how it sits. Takes single ball end strings - your balls are clamped at the headstock (ooh matron etc) and the strings wound around tuners at the back end via a Schaller-a-like bridge. Stock it was very nasally and brittle. I had an Entiwistle PBXN fitted towards the neck which, together with flats, tames it and warms it up nicely. Comes with it's own original fitted hardcase. weighs 7.2lbs/3.25kg 42mm at the nut 19mm spacing at the bridge. Priced to sell at £120 collected from South Benfleet in Essex, pickup only or perhaps meet half way.

Retrovibe P-30. Bought October 2021 and barely used. This is a short scale 50's style tele-necked, bound slab-bodied P bass with a reduced size body. One of a limited run of 8, but a special for me at the time as I didn't want the scratch plate - no holes! retrovibes own single coil pickup, which is fabulous. Wilkinson hardware. Recessed output jack socket. I'd say this is 9.5/10 condition only because if I said it was 10/10 someone with an electron microscope might find a small surface blemish. Strung with TI Flats. 7.5lbs/3.4kg 38mm at the nut 19mm spacing at the bridge Priced to sell at £300 collection only from Benfleet in Essex or maybe meet half way.

Having a cull! Peavey Fury. Some might call it a Mk I, possibly a '92. USA built P bass with a narrow neck. I bought this from Davie @kodiakblair a couple of years back and it was, as he described, in 'roadkill' condition. Tidied up, new parchment scratchplate, electrics fixed (though a little crackly). Paint has aged to a lovely warm cream. Neck is a dream, tone is killer - a very aggressive precision tone. Lightweight. Strung with TI Flats 8lbs/3.6kg 37mm at the nut 19mm spacing at the bridge Priced to sell at £200, £150 collection only at the moment from South Benfleet, Essex, or maybe meet half way within an hour from here for £170.

Having a cull! Peavey Foundation V. Serial no. indicates it could be '95 but with Peavey, who knows? Made in the USA, black with maple neck. A few dings that someone touched in with nail varnish or similar. Doesn't show from the next road. These are fine instruments, a good strong low B. This was the fiver I kept back once I migrated back to four strings but I don't suppose I'll ever use it. Weighs 9.4lbs/4.6kg Stupidly skinny neck for a 5er, 43mm at the nut Spacing at the bridge 16mm Priced to sell at £200 Collection only at this stage, from SS71LD, or perhaps meet half way.

Just the thing for that 'high end project'

I didn't know Cleartone Conversions were selling B stock? That bridge! 🤪 -
That's my lot - the special guests!

Actually I do have one issue with the transmitter for my WL-50 - I have a bass with a recessed output jack and it won't fit in tightly enough to engage, the shoulders hit the dish of the recessed bit. That's just one bass in an embarrassingly long line of basses And, frankly, the fault of the bass, not the transmitter.

I've just got back from rehearsal to find bass has arrived. Out of the box, tune up. It is a tad heavier, just over 8lbs, on my scales but still on the lighter side of OK. Has new roundwounds on, I prefer TI Flats - I'll change them tomorrow. But - WOW - that neck. 😍 Sounds amazing, too. I'll take some nice pics etc.

I've used the Boss WL-50 for nearly 4 years. It's behaved perfectly, not a single glitch.
