Yamaha Japan BB400S from the mid 80s. There is considerable buckle rash on the back but the neck and front of the bass are in great condition for the age. It had a set of EMGs installed in the 80s by the original owner and it sounds great. Includes the original flight case with purest green lining.

Thanks, it's pretty remarkable.

Up.

I should clarify that without the switch, both channels are on all the time. I've used it with my bass on channel 1 and a keyboard on channel 2 to great effect. I've also used it with my phone connected to ch2 for silent practice in conjunction with the headphone amp. A useful piece of kit.

I've never tried it but I gather it's to switch between channel 1 and 2.

Now £1395 Sadowsky MV4E Metro Express, made in Japan in small numbers before Warwick got hold of Sadowsky. This is not to be confused with the new RSD Metro Express basses which are made in China to a very different price point. This is practically identical to the two Sadowsky Metro MV4 basses I've owned previously. As it's an MV4 it has a lightweight ash body, maple fingerboard and an ultra smooth feeling nitro-finished maple neck. The finish is a lovely metallic Sage Green. The Japanese ME basses seem to be universally lightweight, and this one is no exception at 7lb 13oz or 3.54kg. It's in great condition but does have a very small paint chip on the forearm contour, I'll try to highlight this in the pictures. It comes with the Sadowsky Porta bag, and tools etc.

It's simpler than lugging an 8x10 to a recording session 😁

Crews Maniac Sound DPA-2B in excellent condition complete with original box, instructions (handy if you're Japanese) and power supply. The is an excellent sounding twin channel preamp complete with a switchable effects loop, switchable EQ, Mute and a built in headphone amp.

DSM & Humboldt Simplifier Bass Station in great condition. Excellent for recording and live use straight into the PA. "The Ultimate Bass Platform The new DSM & Humboldt SIMPLIFIER BASS STATION is everything you ever needed to go direct to the FOH or recording amazing bass tones without sacrificing anything. It includes a Bass Preamp with gain, level, and a 3 band EQ with semi-parametric mid control. A parallel signal routing with a selectable LPF, dual FX loop (for preamp and parallel signal), and an amazing analog cabinet simulation, based on the acclaimed Omnicabsim ® by DSM Noisemaker."

It's not high by any means, possibly a trick of the light? The neck is straight and there's room on the saddles to reduce the string hight right down if desired.

A lot of bass for the money.

Here's a pretty comprehensive review of the bass 👇

*Now £160* Laney Nexus N210 cab in fantastic condition. These are loaded with a pair of high quality Sica neo drivers that sound great and ensure its an easy one hand lift. It has a switchable tweeter (high, low, off) and is 300w, 8ohm. It's a very capable standalone cab, looks great and build quality is excellent. *Badge now reattached*

They are single coils. I've had three Atelier Z basses and they all had single coil pickups 👍

Sounds like this 👌

This is a great sounding preamp/DI with a really nice headphone amp built in. It also has a distortion channel, switchable IR cab sims and is fully programmable via the Nux software. It's in great condition and comes with the box and instructions. Here's a link to the manufacturers website for more info https://www.nuxefx.com/melvin-lee-davis.html £85 posted

Pair of Atelier Z Jazz bass pickups, made in Japan. Standard jazz bass dimensions with the slightly longer bridge pickup. £50 posted.

It works really well ergonomically and has the added benefit of sitting up straight on a guitar stand!

I totally agree. These are extremely high quality handmade basses for Mexican Fender money..

Just under 9lbs. The lightweight tuners ensure it balances perfectly, too.

Now £675 Lovely Markbass JP4 up for grabs. This is essentially an active 70's Jazz with a Precision body, hand made to a very high standard in Italy. The finish is exceptionally nice (the photos don't really do it justice) and the blocks and binding are done perfectly. The Markbass preamp is a great addition, as it allows for standard Volume, Volume, Tone control in passive or active modes, as well as a 3 band EQ when in active mode. It sounds great and the slap tone is unreal! It's in fantastic condition and comes with the mint Markbass gigbag and case candy.
