  1. 2004 (I think...) Gibson SG Special. Bought this recently but have come to the conclusion I'm more of a PRS man (ugh) so it has to go. Points to note: After it came to me I replace the dusty old Gibson tuners with Gotoh locking tuners - much nicer. Still have the originals. Whoever did the wiring job was having an off day, so I replaced the pots, jack, and wiring with a "modern wiring" loom from Jame's Home of Tone --- CTS pots, switchcraft jack, and a solderless connector so changing pickups is easy if you want to. Pickups are non-original. I don't know what they are and neither did the previous owner but they 1) sound good to me 2) sound a bit PAF-fy (but I am definitely not an expert...) Guitar has definitely been played (personally I think this is a good sign). There are dings, swirls, paint chips, scratches etc to the body, headstock, etc. I've tried to photograph the worst of them. Its not a case queen! I'm looking for £799 collected from Burntisland, Fife or can meet in Haymarket in Edinburgh during the working week. Not really looking for trades but you can ask. A Squier P-bass, perhaps? I'm also interested in Boss stomps or interesting amps... Gallery of lots and lots of pics here: https://imgur.com/a/sg-special-VM7Fwcd Selected highlights below:
  2. They didn't use to be. I bought a set for £35 a few years ago. During covid the price went nuts and then never came back down.
  3. Lots of pedals for sale / trade, mainly Chorus and Delay. Prices include postage. Would consider trades for: Strymon Deco / Boss MD-200 SFX Micro Thumpinator. Not entirely sure which version this is. Comes as pictured, full working order. £90 ***SOLD*** Pics: https://imgur.com/a/RuLilrq ------------- ThorpyFX Deep Oggin. Absolutely glorious thing, but I can't keep this AND a Camoflange so this one gets the chop. Boxed. £150 ***SOLD*** Pics: https://imgur.com/a/ztPYteG ----------------- Boss DM-2W delay pedal, boxed although the box is a bit tatty. £100 ***SOLD*** Pics: https://imgur.com/a/vKwOfwC ----------------- Caroline Kilobyte Lo-Fi Delay. No box. £150 posted. ***SOLD*** Pics: https://imgur.com/a/kilobyte-nWPhfoO ----------------- Ibanez AD9 Analogue Delay. Boxed. £85 Pics: https://imgur.com/a/MexL3Il ------------------ Hungry Robot Moby Dick v2 - cool analogue delay pedal. Boxed. NOTE THAT THE FOOTSWITCH IS ON THE WAY OUT. Basically, sometimes you have to turn it on and off a few times. Not a problem with a pedal switcher or for recording. I'd fix it myself but I can't face doing it. Instead you can have it for a bargainous £75 Pics: https://imgur.com/a/AqId176 ------------------ Way Huge Swollen Pickle MkIIs . Most awesome fuzz. Good on bass too. Boxed. £105 posted. ***SOLD*** Pics: https://imgur.com/a/uvw2Jbm ------------------ DOD FX60 stereo chorus. This is old (80s), made in the USA, and has THAT chorus sound. Has been through the wars but works fine. Comes with PSU adaptor so you can power it from a standard connector. £60***SOLD*** Pics: https://imgur.com/a/fx60-2fc9nl5 ------------------
  4. Guilty as charged. A great bass but not for me 😞
  5. Bump - I have some work travel coming up and could potentially bring the guitar... Will be in Preston (Lancs) early evening on 27th August. Will then be in central Nottingham weekend of Sept 14th.
  6. Very nice! I tried out a five string version recently and it was fantastic, however I really didn't like the preamp - too noisy - so I passed on it. Enjoy!
  7. Hi folks, Up for grabs is my Fender Reggie Hamilton Standard (i.e. mexican) Jazz Bass. Its a really cool bass but 1) I'm very much a passive bass fan and 2) my wife's car just died and I'd prefer to sell a bass than put a dent in my holiday fund so here we are. Bass is in good used condition and these seem to be very popular on this forum so hopefully you all know what it is! My asking price is £575. ***SOLD*** I am initially offering this as collection only from Burntisland, Fife, or I can meet near Haymarket in Edinburgh during the working week. Trade wise: I'd prefer a straight sale but I'm also a realist about my GAS levels---things that will really tempt me are a Bass VI, Danelectro of some flavour, or something P flavoured---four strings, passive models only, maximum nut width 41mm. Pinching a description from elsewhere: When you back up as many different kinds of musicians as Reggie Hamilton, you need a bass that can adjust. Reggie's Jazz model is set up to cover the spread. It combines a Noiseless Jazz pickup in the bridge position, and an American Series Precision pickup at the neck. The pickups can be switched to passive or active mode via a mini-toggle. Active mode has a 3-band EQ with boost/cut on each band. In passive mode you get master volume and a pan control between the pickups. Another custom feature is a Hipshot Bass Xtender drop D key on the E string to give you the low D without going to a 5-string. Alder body Maple neck Rosewood fingerboard 20 frets 1 American Series Precision Bass pickup (neck) 1 Custom Noiseless Jazz Bass pickup (bridge) Mini-toggle active/passive switch Active mode: master volume, pickup pan, 3-band EQ with bass, mid, and treble boost/cut Passive mode: master volume, pickup pan Black/white/black 3-ply pickguard on black version American Vintage Jazz bridge Open gear tuning machines Hipshot Bass Xtender drop D key on the E string 34" scale Fingerboard: Rosewood, 9.5 in. Radius Width at Nut: 1.50 in. (38mm) I am not sure of the exact weight, its a bit heavier than my other Jazz basses, definitely more than 4kg. If I don't get any local interest I will be able to post it, so please shout. Complete gallery of pictures is here: https://imgur.com/a/fender-reggie-hamilton-yhIokMn Selected highlights below. Please shout if there's a particular picture you want. Photographing a gloss black bass isn't easy - apologies for all the reflections! NB There is a slight ding to the very tip of the headstock front and back --- please see the pictures. This happened during transit to me when I bought it (I think the top of the headstock got "squashed") and is purely cosmetic. It came to me in a (now damaged) hard case which I will throw in with the sale.
  8. I'd respectfully suggest that if the collective view is that covers bands should avoid "songs that bore the shit out of the audience" then your guitarist is 100% bang on in their veto on anything to do with Fleetwood Mac. 😇
  9. A lot of cool pedals there but I just couldn't be arsed with the hassle. Cables, power supplies, the size, the weight... ugh. Rather you than me!
  10. I really, really fancy one of these in natural. Damnit.
  11. I've lost count of the amount of times I've listed stuff on gumtree, Facebook, forums, etc that hasn't gone anywhere only for it to sell almost instantly the second I list it on ebay - and usually at a higher price too. I've also encountered far more chancers and nutters via Facebook and Gumtree, if I'm being honest. Ebay isnt perfect but I still think it's the best way to actually shift stuff.
  12. You can thank the muppets that tried to be smart by selling a bass for 99p with £400 postage costs for eBay putting commission on postage costs. I actually completely disagree that ebay's fees are unreasonable. There are lots of reasons to complain about ebay but the fees aren't one of them - financially ebay is a fantastic deal. Everyone just expects something for nothing these days it seems.
