Rumple

Sounds quite funky too 😊

Well it's finally got to the point where I have no choice but to adopt a 'one in, one out' policy and having picked up a new 5 string on Thursday something has to go! I have two 32" scale basses so........ Medium scale SX Gypsy Rose that started life as an orange and yellow colour until a few years ago I decided to re-finish it, I got so far in with the stripping and decided in my opinion it looked rather cool as it was so I added a couple of coats of varnish an old decaI I had left over and a Road Runner sticker and left it at that! not to everyone taste I know 😄 there is a bit of a split along a glue joint in the body near the neck plate, see pics, not sure if I caused it with the heat gun but it's remained the same over the years so I don't see it as a problem. It has Hipshot tuners, a pair of nice sounding Calig Neodymium pickups, one of Kiogon's solderless VVT looms and a no name black bridge. Slight earth hum, never bothered me enough to do anything about it. Strung with D'addario nickels, I think they must be a long scale set as I noticed while doing the photos that on the A string the bit where the string thins out starts before the nut 🙄 Easy to play, not heavy, balanced, sounds bright and punchy. I'll probably part it out and keep the pickups and tuners which is a shame as it's a really cracking little bass. Any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer them. Collection from SE26 preferred or failing that I could do a meet up at one of the main London train stations. R.

That neck! 😊

I picked this up not too long ago as thought I was going to need to do some recording on location but that project has died so I no longer need this. Great little thing, use it as a digital recorder, 4 stereo or 8 mono tracks, has some built in effects for guitar and even a drum machine, you can load up your own WAV files. Works as an audio interface for recording to a computer. Says 'sampler' but I'm not sure how that works. When I got it one of the plastic fader knobs was damaged and loose so I replaced the two on the right with grey ones, I assign stereo drums to those tracks so it kinda made sense to have them both the same colour, they are a little bigger than the black original ones but work fine. Plenty of demo's and info on YouTube. I only really used it to test it out so I'm not up to speed on using it but will try and answer any questions you have 😊 It's in good nick and comes with the power supply and I'll also include the SD card I bought for it. £120.00 delivered to the mainland UK via Yodel or come and collect it for a bit of a saving.

Me too, I do like a bit of reclaimed wood.
