This has been asked in a few PMs... Nut width (edge to edge) is 45mm String spacing is 18mm. I have attached a sound file of the bass (completely raw, no EQ or processing) sounds are as follows: 1 - both pups flat EQ 2 - front pup flat EQ 3 - rear pup flat EQ 4 - both pups bass boost 5 - slap sound both pups flat EQ 6 - All both pups, first bit is active, 2nd one is passive, 3rd is passive tone open, 4th is passive tone rolled off. The main point of this is to highlight the fact that the Glock pre basically has the same output in both passive and active modes, the active being more 'zingier'!? This makes switching between passive and active very easy and simple gig wise. RSD Bass.mp3

I used this last night and it is a great bit of kit… I’m a bit annoyed at dipping my toe in the helix world as it means I have to sell this… anyone interested??

Reduced to £215 plus P+P for a quick sale!

@whentbass thanks for the positive comments - compared to other basses in this price range it certainly is up there in terms of bang for buck. I'm really torn on letting it go but needs must!

completely agree - a great bit of kit for not much money. Its also unusual to find one with the original PSU and box as well… every one I saw when I was looking was RAF and no psu!

Headrush MX5 in immaculate condition - boxed with PSU and all bits. I got this recently and 2 weeks later, a friend of mine who has far too much gear and too much money basically hands me a HX Stomp at too good a price to pass up so I have plumped for it. So unfortunately, this has to go to make way for it. It's a great bit of kit, very easy to build rigs on the touchscreen and doesn't need a PC connection to get the most from it! It can do parallel processing, you can re-arrange the order of stomps / IRs and amp sims and everything sounds great. I just have to scratch the Helix itch! Having the built in volume / expression pedal is a bonus and I will miss that, but needs must. There are load of videos on t'net about it, but not much about bass applications. However, you can download your own IRs and install them very quickly and easily (I'm happy to share a few or lave the ones I installed on there) and it does has the Ampeg SVT IR as a factory install plus a few other goodies. Around £400 new - will chuck in delivery with the asking price.

Line 6 M5 Stompbox Modeler. Basically a load of stompboxes in one package. Loads of great modulation effects, drive fx and filters and some great synth stuff as well. I'm moving towards a more 'one unit' package so this needs to go. In great condition and working order, boxed with original PSU. One picture makes it look like there is a problem with the display, this is not the case. All works fine. Collection welcome or postage should be only a few pounds.

Price reduction to £125 plus postage for a quick sale anyone?

Bumping this back up - a change of situation means this is surplus...

back up for sale... £160 plus postage...

Hi all, a small lack of funds currently means this little beast is up for sale. Sadowsky (RSD) Metro Express (chinese manufacture) in Candy Apple Red - excellent condition all round (minor paint swirls on the rear but no dents or dings) and a really versatile bass! Just checked the weight and it is 4kg bang on. Just come out from an extensive theatre pit run and it sat beautifully in the mix (even the keys player said how nice it sounded!). A few modifications on this one (although I would call them upgrades!) - I have changed the ugly RSD - Tesco express logo for a waterslide decal showing the Sadowsky Metro Express logo (see pics - the rear serial and details are still intact). This was done by myself (very carefully) - see the thread below. This is my fretless ME, and I got the fretted one after this and did the same process. It is sealed in with a satin poly and looks great IMO and a positive change to the bass. The preamp played up a bit early on so I replaced it with a Glockenklang 2 band EQ with passive switching and tone control. This was the main thing I didn't like about the preamp - no passive tone. You could switch into passive mode but no tone control. At the time I didn't have the cash for a Sadowsky pre with VTC but I understand this is also a positive upgrade. I really like the Glock preamp though, it has the cut and boost advantage over the VTC pre on the EQ and it is really transparent rather than the coloured sound of the Sadowsky. The pickguard is simply a carbon vinyl wrap so can be easily removed. Comes with the soft case (really good quality) and the strap locks and bits and pieces. For the money - this is an excellent bass. I'm not sure I would spend 1K on one of these, but this urinates all over a Squire and IMO, is more that equal to a more expensive Sire. I will miss this but needs must. I will certainly look for another one in the future! Possibly a black one to match my fretless! I can post - would probably be around the £15- £20 mark. Price is fixed and cash sale only I'm afraid. If it doesn't got for the asking, I'm quite happy to keep it.

Can you add a link to the thread about the pickup?? Colour me interested…

To be honest, what I was looking to buy has now sold but I am going to keep this listed for sale... no rush basically!
