  1. These are awesome beasts! One of the beast MarkBass heads in my opinion. (Next to the SD1200 of course!) If you're up for a trade, I might want it! Russ.
  2. Yeah man, I know what you mean, but unfortunately for me, I've been doing this on my mobile, and can't upload pictures! Once I get to my laptop, I'll put some piccies up, untill then my baitless hook will have to do!
  3. As it says gentlemen! Up for sale is my Diago Tourman pedal board. Good condition, fully functional etc. £75 collect or £85 posted! I managed to get 16 pedals (8 where double sized!) 3 power bricks and a 4 way extension lead on this board with all the wires with no issues! So it's big! Let me know guys! Pics on request. Russ. 07912222127.
  4. Hi guys, I have a bit of an odd one here... with a loose, non substantiated, but plausable link to Hendrix. This is a Blonde 1968 original Fender body, fully loaded with correct pick-ups etc attached to a 1982 American Fender Neck, it's a right handed guitar, strung lefty at the moment. She is all there, a fully working, well playing beast, just with a neck 14 years younger than her body! So, now to try and fully, accurately describe this vintage lady... I would very much advise viewing of this guitar prior to purchase so you can see her for yourself and take a look at the various identity marks showing what year the body/neck are. As I mentioned, the body is a 1968 Fender Stratocaster body, in Blonde showing significant signs of wear as one would expect for a guitar that has been used well for all of its life in one way or another. It does have a few dings, again to be expected, but the body is sound other than that, you can see the wear in the paint, fully and naturally relic'd over its 45 years of life. The pick-ups are original to the body, as is the hardware, knobs and electrics but the scratch plate has been changed around the same time as the neck, possibly later along with the screws etc. The body has no backplate, as you can see the tremelo system is open to the world. I have a quite concise list of points that any potential buyer is welcome to tick off, I have original infomation regarding dating the pots, and electronics etc that we can go over if you want to buy so you feel comfortable everything is on the money. The neck is a 1982 (See serial number E207020) you can check this online at the guitar data project. This was bought in 1982 as new and fitted to the strat, it has been played and gigged probably at least once a week for the last 30 years, hence the blackening of the neck mainly towards the bottom of the neck. As much as this looks err... "vintage" to say the least, everything is still solid and very much playable. This guitar has seen relentless use for over 30 years, and the body has seen use for probably 33 years or so. I am unsure what life the body has seen between 1971 and 1979. The previous owner of this body sold it to my producer in 1979 I believe. Right, that was the facts, now for the story... The guitars body was built in 1968, and the previous owner (prior to my producer) adamently claims that he aquired the guitar in either 1969 or 1970 at a Jimi Hendrix gig in London, where Jimi had taken the Strat (Then with its original neck) and smashed it on stage, this previous owner goes on to say he was one of the ones at the front who grabbed the body and wrestled for it, before staking claim and running out of the venue, body in hand. This chap was from Ireland where the body ended up for the next decade or so before being sold to my producer (no idea for how much) along with a photo from the gig (which within the last 30 years has gone missing) Everything seems to tie in, dates, body style, colour, etc but obviously I cannot substantiate this story, I'd love to believe its true because this guitar has bags of soul, and would be fitting to have been smashed by Hendrix, but alas, this is just the story we are told. There may be a way to varify it, but as is, it is sold as a 1968 loaded body with a 1982 neck. See the pictures, looks at its character and come round for a play if you want, please no tyre kickers though, regardless of the story being true or not, shes a real soulful player. Any questions, ask away, I will do my best to answer. I'm in wickford, and available on 07912222127.

  5. Hey guys, Here's a fully functional Roland EV-5 expression pedal for £35 posted. Good condition too! Russ. 07912222127. Pics on request as I'm on my mobile!
  6. Hey guys, It's a plastic shell 10 way power brick that's runs 10 standard pedals, a nice, cheap and perfectly functional bit of kit! I think I only have 5 or 6 'brick to pedal' leads though... But for £20 posted, it's still a deal! Russ. 07912222127.
  7. £35??? C'mon, £35 for a one off Tracey HAS to be worth the punt? Pics on request! Russ.
  8. £140 if you collect! That's a good price!!! £140 for a 'relic'd' mex strat... C'mon, I need the dollar! Russ.
  9. I want this NOW!!! Part exchange for a Spector euro LX6? That's is awesome... It makes me weep that I probably can't own it!
  10. Just bought one of these off of here, and paid more for it! Cracking combos, they are underrated beasts.
  11. Just to add... It's in mint condition, looked after very well! Lightly flamed maple top with a slice of walnut running though. It's a through neck, with gold hardware and active EMG pups. I have a Spector fitted hardcase for it that's in the same condition. Pics can be emailed or texted on request! I'm doing this on my phone and can't upload any. Let me know! Russ.
  12. Hey guys, Got my Spector Euro LX6 I'd like to trade for another 6 string fretted bass. Something good for tapping with! Give me a shout if you've got something! Russ. 07912222127.
  13. I have to say that this beast looks a lot better with natural strings on it! The green ones where a good touch, but I think it made it look a bit toy-ish. If only it were a 6er, then I'd have no trouble trading for it! But these days it just has to be a 6 for me! Good luck sir!
  14. Bump.
  15. Bought a TC BG500 210 off of JMM today, I was late (traffic) and he very kindly waited for me! A good, smooth and very quick (because of me!) transaction. A cracking amp and a damn fine price. Thanks matey! Russ.
  16. Sold some wall hangers to TPJ, very quick payment, no worries at all! Good buyer and good quick communication. Cheers mate! (couldn't find an existing thread, so I started this one!) Russ.
  17. Was just thinking the same as above... Makes me miss my Ibanez 1979 roadster. I really font like P-basses, but I was almost checking my wallet with this one! R
  18. That's a damn good price for a mighty piece of kit...
  19. How has this not sold yet!! BUMP.
  20. I'll have it if you could post it? I'd pay obviously!
  21. Cracking little beasts! These are almost non existent on the second hand market... A rare find indeed.
