    Brand new unopened. Bought when I was going to experiment with different strings but settled on another brand. Paid £34.99

    Chris just bought some strings from me; no issues. Promptly paid and hassle free.

    Do you have an accurate weight for the bass please?
  4. warwickhunt
    I was convinced that I had to have this bass back (I sold it 10 years ago) and that it'd do a different job to my 88 Sabre but tbh they are in the same ball park for tone so I don't need both... maybe sell my Sabre if this doesn't sell.

    Excellent condition for a 30 year old bass, with no issues. Classic Musicman Stingray style bridge with mutes. One of those basses that is so good that I've owned it twice! Only point of note is the 2 small holes in the pickguard where someone mounted a thumb-rest. Weight is 9lb (exactly) or 4.1kg. The neck is less wide and less 'full' than a Stingray neck and is often compared more to a Jazz profile than say a Precision. This is the earliest version with the metal battery compartment cover. Trades - 34" Sandberg... possibly.

    As you say, none of them would 'happily' pay out on insurance but PF extract the urine as they'll take your premium for a guitar/bass and categorically exclude instruments in the small print.

    https://www.secursus.com/en-gb/# So long as the courier has a tracking system (most do), you book the courier and then put the tracking number into the Securus system... that's pretty much it!

    There's a guy on BC, based in Holland builds @Brookes basses, they are top notch. I'd have to say that the cost of a custom build might come as a bit of a shock! I priced up with several luthiers and most were talking about having to get custom parts as very little is off the shelf.

    They will ship guitars in cases but I do not take out insurance with them regardless. Third Party companies give you a far better deal; I've just sent a bass insured for £500 with Securus and the premium was £5... £22 if I took it with PF but I'd have reservations of them even paying out.

    I've used Interparcel for years and recently I've used PF as I don't use their insurance (I take out 3rd party) and I've had no issues with almost identical items. I did have a thought last night; I dropped this off at my local post office and when I did so the teller asked me to stand the box off to one side of the counter (public side) as they didn't have room for boxes of that size (there was another cuboid large box already where she indicated). I do wonder if that is where their claim is coming from. I think I'm on safe ground as that PO was the nearest suggested by Interparcel on the booking site and the staff member scanned in and accepted the package. I could be wrong and it might be unrelated. I'll update as and when. This is probably more of a warning to always photograph your package before sending it (luckily the recipient had the box I used, so we could prove how it was packaged).

    I went back to check my invoice Rob and I should apologise to Evri as it was Parcelforce 48 that I booked and the dimensions were 110 x 48 x 13
  13. warwickhunt
    I input the dimensions of the outer packaging (short scale bass) and Interparcel gave me the option of Evri. If they have mis sold me their service it'll be interesting to see where they go with this one. We'll see what they say.

    Sent a bass 2 weeks ago with Evri 48hr, booked through Interparcel (but insured via Securus). The bass was double boxed in 'exactly' the same double walled (x2) boxes that the manufacturer delivered in. It went off no probs via my selection in Interparcel and was delivered FIVE days later. Now that 3 day delay isn't the issue; I was miffed at the service but the buyer received it safe and sound and was over the moon with the bass. Fast forward 2 weeks and I receive an email from Interparcel stating I owed £25 because: "An additional charge has been applied due to non-standard packaging, which required manual handling by the carrier. This includes items that are irregularly shaped, cylindrical (e.g. tubes, carpets), packaged with cling film, bubble wrap, string, or excessive tape, or placed in bags or sacks. These types of packaging do not meet the carrier’s automated processing requirements." At first I thought 'scam' but the address to reply/pay looked right. I contacted Interparcel and they say the claim is brought by Evri against me. I'm obviously going to contest it but it might be worth folk being aware that these are not phishing scams but appear to be Evri chancing their arm for extra fees. Oh and here is the irregular packaging.

    The MXR MC403 CAE Power System, developed in collaboration with Bob Bradshaw, is engineered to deliver clean, silent, and reliable power to nearly every effect pedal on the market. Designed by some of the top engineers in musical electronics, this power supply is built to handle the toughest pedalboard setups with ease. With eight 9-volt DC outlets, four 18-volt DC outlets, two adjustable DC voltage outlets, and two 9-volt AC outlets, the MC403 provides more than enough power for even the most demanding rigs. Whether you're gigging or recording, this power system ensures your pedals perform at their best, without the worry of noise or power issues. MXR MC403 CAE Power System Features: Pedalboard power supply built for the rigors of the gigging musician 8 x 9-volt DC power outlets for standard pedal designs 4 x 18-volt DC power outlets for higher-demand pedals 2 adjustable DC voltage outlets for fine-tuning performance 2 x 9-volt AC power outlets for added versatility All multi-tap DC outputs are completely isolated, linear regulated, and short-circuit protected to insure reliable operation Enclosed in a heavy-duty housing. Rarely used but I did house it under a pedalboard and I've misplaced the screws that weren't required (doesn't affect anything). What you see in the pics is what you get in full working order (+ mains cable).

    Works perfectly with no issues and bought as an upgrade to my Tech 21 pedal on the route to going full IEM. Comes with instruction book and power supply. 2-channel bass pre for 1 or 2 basses Built-in direct box with XLR output Combination power boost and effects loop Powerful EQ and contour controls Separate always-on tuner output

    My go to DI pedal for a lot of years but I'm now using IEM and using an alternative dedicated pedal. No damage, no issues, just a bit of velcro attached to the base. 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. THE CONTROLS The controls offer a broad range of traditional bass amp sounds, including such meaty styles as Bassman® and SVT®, as well as raunchy, crunchy overdriven sounds that would typically require a multitude of effects units. PRESENCE controls the amount of definition and upper harmonic content. DRIVE adjusts the overall gain structure and overdrive. LEVEL regulates the XLR and effected 1/4″ output levels. BLEND allows you to mix the direct bass signal with SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry (which is particularly useful for basses equipped with piezo pickups). BASS & TREBLE are active EQ controls, specifically tuned for bass guitar, that cut or boost +/- 12dB. For studio and live applications, SansAmp Bass Driver DI is engineered with three outputs: an effected XLR, and effected 1/4″, and a parallel, uneffected 1/4″. The footswitch activates the Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry. Disengaging the circuitry enables you to use SansAmp Bass Driver DI as a standard active transparent direct box. Sample style settings include Bassman®, SVT®, King’s X, Slap, Reggae, Crimson. Settings are also included for Chapman Stick and Acoustic guitar.

    Excellent condition with no issues. It is soft aged at the factory. Has been modified with a J pup at the bridge position (DiMarzio) and the controls are presently Vol / Pan (no tone control as I've never seen the point!). I should have put the scratchplate back on, I do have it here and it will be included. Super low action.
