This is a bittersweet sale, but the band I use it with have always intended to have a double bass, with me on rhythm guitar, and that is finally happening. So up for sale is my Epiphone Masterbilt DeLuxe Century archtop acoustic bass. I bought this new in 2018 and have gigged it regularly since. Although well gigged, it has been babied so is in great condition, with only a couple of small marks on the body. Fitted with Labella 760N Black Nylon strings, which I think are an improvement on the stock D'addario tapewounds. The original piezo pickups on these are ok, but I wanted something better, so I had some dialog with Aaron at Kent Armstrong pickups about other options that would work for me. He wound me a custom floating pickup which transformed the live sound, giving a lovely warm, full tone. This has been wired directly to the output jack, with the piezo disconnected. The bass now has a beautiful double bass type sound which worked brilliantly for the old time stuff I played. Also sounds great unplugged, and is louder with roundwounds, but I prefer the tone of the nylon strings. The bass has the matching Epiphone hard case. I will include some Bobs Fits F hole blockers made specially for the bass. I got these in case I had any issues with feedback on bigger stages, but I’ve never had to use them. The original tuner buttons have been replaced with Schallers. £675 ono. Collection from Beccles, Suffolk. Or I could potentially meet somewhere for fuel costs. I think I have a box so shipping is also a possibility. Cheers. -
Sold some strings to Lacopo. Quick and easy deal. Would happily recommend.

I took the plastic part off, and then took the one off the A tuner to see if that worked on the E. It didn’t, so I presume it’s something wrong with the tuner itself. At this point I panicked and messaged my tech, who’s luckily taking in work from next week. It’s an Epiphone Masterbilt Century DeLuxe, which is my gigging bass, so lucky it’s happened now.

It does yeah, I'll see if that helps. Thanks!

Hello all. Whilst tuning my E string last night the peg was feeling a bit tight. I (foolishly) persisted with trying to tune up and heard a little snap sound. The plastic key of the tuning peg had cracked, and now the tuning peg when turned no longer affects the string. I'm worried I've broken it and now need to replace the tuners. Can anyone confirm if this is the case, or if there's something I can do to check? Cheers.

I have a Fender Modern Player Short Scale Jazz Bass in excellent condition I’m looking to sell. Fitted with roundwounds and lovely to play, but being sold to fund a new hollowbody bass. £500 plus delivery. Cheers.

If you don’t mind the frets I’ve got some nice upright sounds from Epiphone Archtop basses with floating pickups. Short scale, thick bodied and comfortable to play sitting or standing. I have two, and my backup is for sale on the forum. The other one is a gigging bass and a keeper.

Short scale player here too in group A, although I use an Epiphone Archtop bass with my band as it suits our vibe perfectly. Whilst being short scale the bridge position makes it feel more medium scale to me when reaching the 1st fret. For home playing it's a Fender Short Scale Jazz which is nice and compact.
