I might not have asked Rev, but I'm very grateful Sir

And before I send I'll be emptying all the pockets, I sent a BCer a nice set of TI flats the last time I sold a case

Thanks guys, happy to post this BTW, very might so probably not much more than a tenner

Bump for the Vintera PUPs and the P-Retro in need of repair, that for reasons I can't remember never did make it to Owen!

Folks Not sure what these all are, so going in at £10 per string....... First up, a 4-string set that came off my Clifton a while back. Still got a lot of life in them. Quite thumpy and prominent. Not growlers Next up, three strings from the same set (A is missing, G is quite worn) E string D string G string Next up some tape-likes, E and A strings only, sounded great on EUB, and worked quite well on acoustic DB with guts on D and G. SOLD Last one, individual A string, feels tape like also, gut-like sound with a bit of edge SOLD

I got these out today and they're actually in better condition than I remembered. They are far from new but they are still very playable and if looked after in the usual way should survive a few more years of playing. Note again that the E and A are pretty substantial, it's one of the reasons they do what they do so well, but it's also a bit of a shock if you're used to, for example Evah Weichs

Ludicrous quality at a ludicrous price frankly (retails at close to £700 https://www.thomann.de/gb/soundwear_3244_performer_4_4_bass_bag.htm), but that's DB for ya! This was bought ahead of lockdown when we had a lot of gigs lined up in a lot of remote locations. As it stands, largely because I used an EUB last year anyway, it's done precisely five gigs in three years. It's in pretty much perfect condition and given the retail price tis really is a steal if you need a case for your 4/4. It's the kind of thing I'd like to keep but I'm raising some cash at the moment so think I will use my slightly lower cost gig-bag (still £200) and be more careful! All joking aside however, this is probably the next best thing to a hard case with the advantage that it folds up small at a gig, having tried a hard case for my 4/4 back in the day finding somewhere to put it at gigs was often the biggest challenge. Stock photos below I can post, or we can arrange to meet up which is preferable. As per other current listings I'm driving Canterbury-Bristol this weekend so would happily deliver or meet en-route. Cheers Chris

Great thing is I'm dropping this off about 20 miles down the road from yours John, I like it when a plan comes together

Sorry mate. Also it means that Sunday will be the first day in over 20 years that I will be without an electric bass 😲

Sold

It's one of these https://www.thomann.de/gb/gator_g_pg_bass_guitar_double_bag.htm Currently in the loft but will get down and take photos tomorrow. In good condition. Travelling west on Sunday so could deliver or hand-over anywhere between Canterbury and Bristol Cheers Chris

As per other FS posts, reorganising my gear and raising cash ahead of a house move. This is a rather nice Seagull S6 QIT acoustic. These are very highly rated instruments in their price range (retail around £700 https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Seagull-Guitars-S6-Original-Q1T-Electro-Acoustic-Burnt-Umber/1GW7?_gl=1*r3pl3b*_ga*MTMzNjE3Mzg3My4xNjQzMjA3MTg5*_up*MQ..). Made in Canada and equipped with Godin electrics, it's a quality instrument in all respects. As you can see, that is road worn. It's an interesting job because it appears to be a mix of real and synthetic wear, which I suspect might have been started when the previous owner tried to take off the pick-guard. However, for a relic it's rather good and means that it I don't panic about my daughters (or bandmates) putting a ding in it! Also comes in a Gator hard case that fits it perfectly. I'm happy to haggle on this and happy to post, I'm not interested in trades however. I'm travelling from Canterbury to Wiltshire this Sunday (30th) so would be especially happy to haggle with someone who could meet me en-route or who's house i could drop this off at, I've learned to really hate the process (packing, stress, anxiety, emotions) of sending nice instruments by courier Cheers Chris \

As per other FS posts I've started recently, upcoming house move is forcing a rethink and a sell off. First off, this is the last of my bass guitars and it's one that I've tried to sell a couple of times before only for the same to fall through and for me to find myself glad it did. This has been my main gigging bass when I'm not using DB for as long as I can remember, and while it has become something of a Trigger's Broom, it retains it's core elements.... A stunning Warmoth ebony unlined fretless neck. The best neck I've ever owned, and that's up against Wal, FCS Jaco relic (the stupidly expensive one), MM, Sadowsky and a few others. Note that it's a Precision neck, 43mm at the nut, but relatively shallow also (60's profile as opposed to 70's). Neck is oil finished not varnished. Very small dink in the board on bass-side (last photo). Doesn't affect playing Completely unknown body that is in some respects a little agricultural in form (see PUP routes) but to which I have become very attached. It works very well with this neck, which is why they've stayed together for so long Lovely nickel Gotoh lollipop tuners with the no traditional two screws missing each (I have no idea why this happens but it seems to be the case on all my basses. It's easily resolved) A set of beautiful, toneful and articulate Wizard 64's running through a Kiogon circuit Bridge from a Fender Roscoe Beck sig, ludicrously over-engineered but once again just works with this instrument and allows some very accurate intonation/action/spacing tweaks, which I like Also comes with a harvest gig bag that it's lived in for most of its adult life and which I'd prefer to post it in if the buyer is unable to collect (inside a cardboard box also). Bag looks a bit rough in the photos but is in good condition and protects the bass very nicely I'm only selling this because I need the money and because I'm going to gig and record entirely on upright from now on. Part of me want to keep it to noodle on etc but the reality is that if I'm noodling it needs to be on upright or I'm always going to be that slightly out of tune DB player! I'm happy to negotiate on price especially around the gig bag, but I'm not going to part out the bass. No trades I'm afraid. Happy to send via courier. I'm also travelling west from Canterbury to Wiltshire this weekend if any of you lovely Basschatters require concierge service More photos to follow

More stuff to clear out, this time a set I had on my DB for about 2-years, probably gigged about 20 times and rehearsed about the same. They are showing considerable signs of wear and will need a bit of TLC from here (the odd trim and some oil), but having played them before Xmas they still sound lovely and still have quite a lot of life left in them. I used to carry them to gigs as spares for my current hybrid set but found that guts that haven't been at tension for a while don't make a good emergency replacement mid-gig. These are entry level guts but even so retail at almost £400 https://www.thomann.de/gb/lenzner_1310_a_darmsaiten.htm. This is probably a good way of finding out whether a full gut set is going to work for you and/or your bass without that rather mad expenditure (I bought these new from Thomann before the prices on them went crazy). I'll post photos of the set later today, apologies I'm not able to get to my studio until later this afternoon. Note that gut A and E strings are pretty substantial and might require some modification of your nut or even bridge. Note that this set has been on both 3/4 and 4/4 instruments Cheers Chris
