I’m pm’d you. Peter

Now £1250 Just when you think life is agreeably predictable it can throw you a curved ball. I'm faced with having to move and downsize considerably. 7 basses is several too many. This lovely instrument from Mike Walsh in Essex is rather special. Tonally it is much modelled on the Aria SB1000. I traded it from Mark, the original owner, with another Zoot that he had built and sold on to me. Incestuous. 32" scale with a 7/8 sized Zoot body. English spalted beech on a light weight American swamp ash body. Spalted beech facing on the headstock. The neck is roasted Canadian flamed maple with purple heart stringers and ebony veneers. Hipshot hardware. And now for the electronic components that were used to replicate the SB1000 tone: A Rautia MB-1E pickup. These are no longer available. Prostheta’s BB Noisekiller preamp. A 6 way Varitone circuit built to purpose by Mike. The bass has added tonal variety courtesy of a series/parallel switch, an active/passive switch and a passive tone. It isn't a one trick pony by any means but some of the settings produce distinctly 80's sonics unlike I've heard from a bass before. The bass is very light, 7 1/4 lbs on bathroom scales. Nut width is 40mm and string spring at the bridge 16mm. Complete with a hard case as shown. Can be tried and collected from Kendal. Will include an unused set of Newtone strings. I will courier to UK addresses at cost. Mark's build thread is here: Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Peter

Remaining books all £3 each. I seem to have acquired an embarrassing number of bass books over the years. Life circumstances are changing and I need to clear out from a life of accumulation. All are £4 plus the cost of postage which I think is a very reasonable price. All are in good condition, some (very few) may have annotations in them. I'm giving it a couple of weeks before Oxfam gets a visit. Peter In no particular order.

I love this wireless setup. I think it's the best you can buy, reassuringly expensive and worth every penny. Sadly I can't justify having it. My opportunities for using it are few and far between and sadly consist of the odd rehearsal and an even rarer gig. It is in as new condition except for the addition of a right angled transmitter lead, drawstring bag for the transmitter, velcro on the rear of the receiver, a stomp button on same and I'll include an A4 printed manual.

Now £430! Here's my Markbass cab up for sale. It is in near new condition and includes a Roqsolid cover. The top carpet has a couple of indents where the amp was placed on it. Other than that minor sign of normal use it's as new. It has been used several times at rehearsal at very low volume levels and at one gig where it was only used as a monitor as I was going through the PA. It is a great cab. A real one cab solution weighing approximately 18Kg or 40lbs. I'm 70, under 11 stone, have osteoporosis and have suffered a spinal fracture and I'm happy to lug it around. Specs briefly are 2 x 12" ceramic speakers 600 watts Piezo switchable tweeter with 2 levels of attenuation 57.8 x 60 x 47 cm https://www.markbass.it/product/mb58r-122-p-4/ Tone is very Markbass, i.e. effective. Collection or meet up only. I'm in Kendal, Lake District, NW England.

A tale to help explain how good I think these cabs are. I've been through a bit of chopping and changing with my rig. I was using one Accugroove Tri112L for band rehearsal and very occasionally both when needed. I decided to get a one cab solution so I had more headroom available with one cab. I bought a MarkBass MB58R P-4. A 600W 4ohm 17.5Kg 2 x 12 with ceramic speakers. I normally use a 'backup' Peavey MiniMax 600W head with it. With the Accugrooves I've was using my GK800 Legacy. I took both rigs along to our last rehearsal. The Accugrooves and the GK won hands down. I haven't tried swapping the heads around but the experience shows just how good these Accugrooves are.

Probably to have as a 4ohm pair. When I’ve used mine together they are much more than the sum of their parts 🙂
