Selling my Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI. Bought it two years ago and only used it from time-to-time at home (no gigging). The pedal is in pristine condition and comes with the original tin box, manual, warranty card and sticker. Happy to ship within the UK for an additional £6 (decent courier). Here are some details about the pedal taken from Tech 21’s website: “Much more than just a direct box, the SansAmp Bass Driver DI is capable of dialing up big vintage tube tones, bright modern slap sounds, gnarly distortions, and all in between. Three different outputs to drive power amps, recording desks, PA mixers, or simply enhance your current rig. Controls include Presence for definition and upper harmonic content; Blend to combine the proportion of direct signal and SansAmp circuitry; and active EQ specifically tuned for bass with 12dB of cut or boost. VERSION 2 With the popularity of 5- and 6-string basses going beyond fad status and becoming mainstream, we added a switch to adjust the bass frequency to extend into those lower registers. We also added a mid-range control and a switch to adjust its frequency. The core of the SansAmp Bass Driver and all of its tones remain true to its original design.”

Ok, flash sale is over. No takers. Well, guys, you had your chance 🙂 Back to the original price.

4th of July FLASH SALE (24 hrs only!) - £2553 instead of £2799. Offer ends at 11:59pm on July 4th 2022!

You will see, it will be much better than that 🙂

True, but only midnight here in the UK matters. However, technically, I would need to wait until 5am (midnight on the US East Coast) or 8am (midnight on the US west coast) but won't do that. I guess I will change the price already now so I can go to sleep. Have to get up early 🙂

Feels like being on an episode of Countdown 😄

Ok. In the US, it would be 2274 though (month first, then day). Well, both are wrong anyway 🤪

How do you arrive at that number?

Important customer announcement: I have several relatives in the US and tomorrow they are celebrating Independence Day (i.e., celebrating America's declaring of independence from Great Britain, not celebrating the movie :- ). Well, I thought that's a good occasion for a special one-day only flash sale for a US made bass. So, from midnight today until 11:59pm tomorrow, there will be a significant price reduction (and looking at the new price you can then guess why I chose that specific price :- ). After that, the price will go back to £2799. Even if I come up up with some future flash sales, none will be anywhere near as big as this one! So, it's really now (well, soon) or never 😎

Preferably more than the £2799 listed 😉

As you have the black one, you really need to have the white one too. It's like Yin and Yang 😉 I have the same for my Spectors

All PMs replied. Bass is still available.

Thanks, I've been called worse 😉

Thank you all for your PMs with trade offers. Much appreciated. However, the three basses I mentioned in my first post really are the only ones that I could consider at the moment. I hope you understand and thanks again for your interest 👍

Leicestershire, the heart of rural England, is always worth a visit. We are also conveniently located in the middle of the country. Although, I don't know how far away it is from Joe's garage 😉

There is always another gig. After the gig is before the gig 😉

I am selling my brand new EBMM DarkRay in the limited-edition White Sparkle finish. This finish was only available online (EBMM Vault) and sold out within a week. Mine is no1 out of 25. TBH, this was an impulse buy. I saw the promo videos and just had to have one. It looks really cool and the White Sparkle finish is rather subtle and not so into your face like some other Music Man finishes (Yes, Amethyst Sparkle, I am looking at you ;- ) I also thought it would be my metal bass. Turns out I am not so much into distortion after all. I also recently got yet another of my fav Spector basses (another impulse buy of a limited edition bass, can you see a pattern emerging here? 😉 and so the DarkRay can go to a new home. I am not in a hurry and not desperate to sell it. I am happy to keep it as a collection piece if it does not sell. So, the asking price is firm and less than what I had to pay for it (more than £3k, thanks to high shipping costs and VAT) just a month ago (May 23rd). The bass is in mint showroom condition and has never left the house (very limited home use only). It is currently stored safely in its OHSC in a pet and smoke free house. Collection would be recommended but I can also ship it (UK only) using the original packaging and using a decent courier (I normally use UPS). Shipping would of course add some costs. What about trades? Well, I already have too many basses but could be tempted by the following (plus money my way): - EBMM Stingray 4H, 2EQ, natural finish, maple fingerboard, body and arm contours (so no pre-EB and no EBMM Classic) - Fender American Original ‘60s Precision Bass in surf green - Spector Euro 4 Ian Hill Signature Bass (the PJ version, not the current 50th Anniversary P only version) Some DarkRay info from the EBMM website: “At the heart of every instrument is its tone: in this case, a new modern 2 Band EQ preamp was designed by Darkglass specifically for the DarkRay. This preamp offers three modes with very distinct and useful sounds: Clean, Alpha (distortion), and Omega (fuzz). Both distortion circuits are fully mixable via an onboard gain knob and blend control manipulated to the user’s preference. Astonishing clean, slight gain, or a brutal fuzz tone is obtainable, all with no low-end loss. A bright LED ring and the 3-way lever switch indicates which mode the bass is in. The all-new DarkRay is every bit a Stingray Special with neodymium humbucking pickup, roasted maple neck, comfort contoured body, 22 stainless steel frets, and the familiar 3+1 headstock configuration.” DarkRay Specs: Model: DarkRay Bass Size: 13-1/2" wide, 1-5/8" thick, 44-7/8" long (34.3 cm wide, 4.1 cm thick, 114.0 cm long) Body Wood: Select Hardwood Body Finish: High gloss polyester - Obsidian Black; Satin polyester - Granite Stone Bridge Vintage Music Man® top loaded Black plated, steel bridge plate with vintage Black plated steel saddles Pickguard: Black Scale Length: 34" (86.4 cm) Neck Radius: 11" (27.9 cm) Headstock Size Only 8-3/4" (22.2 cm) long Frets: 22 - High profile, wide Neck Width: 1-11/16" (42.86 mm) at nut 2-1/2" (63.5 mm) at last fret Neck Wood: Roasted maple neck Fingerboard: Ebony Fret Markers: Dot Inlay Neck Finish: Gunstock oil and hand-rubbed special wax blend Tuning Machines: Custom Music Man, lightweight with tapered string posts and ergonomic clover design Neck Attachment: 5 bolt, sculpted neck joint Electronic Shielding: Graphite acrylic resin coated body cavity and black plated aluminum control cover Controls: Custom Darkglass® 2-band active preamp with two distinct distortion circuits (Alpha and Omega); vol, gain, blend, treble, bass Switching: 3-way lever distortion selector; Preamp Only, Preamp+Alpha Distortion, Preamp+Omega Distortion Pickups Single Humbucking with Neodymium magnets Weight: I do not have a scale but the bass feels really light.
