Fender Custom Shop '54 Precision Pickup. Great original 'light relic' condition. Looks and sounds the business. I'm now after a split coil P pickup so ideally after a trade for something decent. £45 posted to your door.

Ashdown Retroglide 800w powerhouse. This has been my backup amp for a while and has lived in the front of my gig bag, so has picked up a few marks along the way. It is however 100% functional and sounds great. I'm after £275 including postage to your door Ashdown blurb: Ashdown has worked with a number of FUNK Masters over the past 30 + years of making bass amps, the desire to create an amplifier which meets the requirements for absolute fidelity, clarity, precision tone shaping and masses of power for stunning dynamics continues to this day. The result is the Retroglide-800. Hand built in the UK Custom Shop the Retroglide is an 800 watt funk powerhouse with hi & low impedance instrument inputs, 12-band graphic EQ @ 30hz to 15Khz + or – 15dB, post EQ balanced DI output, mute switch with LED indicator, Output protect LED indicator just in case things get to hot under the hood, line input, effects loop and speaker output Neutrik combi jack/speakon connector. All wrapped up in a stunning and lightweight 3kg head. A hand machined 6mm alloy panel adorns the front of the Retroglide, machined to protect the sliders from being knocked in transport. Housed in an engineered mild steel lid, designed to protect the input and output knobs as well as provide a steady airflow for ventilation. Ashdown’s Mark Gooday said ‘the Retroglide really takes me back to my roots as a bass player, pure, simple tone at your finger tips’. Building bass amps has been much more than just a job for Gooday in his 30 + year tenure in the industry ‘bass has to be felt to be appreciated and with the specific frequencies available on the Retroglide you can sculpt your own tone to stand out in the crowd, currently awash with powerless & toneless imitations of a bass amp. The Retroglide does exactly what you would expect it to’.

This visually and sonically stunning amp is in tip top condition having never left my house! These really are phenomenal amps that seem to dwarf other micro amps in terms of power and volume, while offering several cutting edge features. It also looks amazing. Pics and full spec to follow, but it's as new and includes all the Darkglass packaging, bumf and the magic pedal. I'm after £675 and am located in Margate.

This is a genuine Fender USA Precision anodised pickguard from a '57 reissue P bass. It's marvellous but I no longer need it. £25

80's/90's Trace Elliot 15'' Speaker. 250w, 8 ohms I removed this from a huge Trace cab I bought around 10 years ago to replace with an Eminence Neo jobbie. This made the cab lighter and sound worse. I had forgotten I had this until it was discovered in the loft. £15 collected from Margate

Joseph Kaye sold pending the usual.

Thanks chaps, I'll consider trades if you'd like to PM me although I'm currently at full capacity for testicles.

Thanks chaps. This is now sold and off to a good home.

Due to an expensive project I'm having to sell (at least) one of my basses. As these two are fairly similar it seems logical to put them both up for sale and let the market decide. 2. Xotic XP-1T A great bass with possibly the best preamp I've ever used, with the ability to go from vintage loveliness to modern hyped tones in seconds. This bass gets pretty close to the Joseph Kaye vintage tone but in every other way the design has been improved to make it lighter, more ergonomic, more comfortable to play and more versatile compared to Leo's design. It feels very much like a Sadowsky in terms of build quality, and has the benefit of Hipshot hardware and the original Xotic gig bag (Protec Contego). I'm looking for £1250 collected from Margate, or i can post at cost.

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1492038359' post='3277481'] Went for a retinal scan today and they put eye drops in that makes vision blurred. Thought it said £465! If only... Dam those retinal scans! GLWTS [/quote] I'd be tempted to buy it at that price 😬

Incredible amp that really does seem to defy the laws of physics with its diminutive stature and stage rattling output! This one is around 4 years old and comes with a gig bag (not AER) to allow you to sling it over your shoulder. Collection from Margate or can post if required. Pics to follow.

Reduced to £400 while something I'm after is still available.

[quote name='plankspanker' timestamp='1490297218' post='3264132'] Thanks for that - and the deal is the preamp, power-amp and 3U rack case? If so does the 3U case cover/protect the rear section of the power amp? sorry for all the nagging questions! [/quote] That's right, I can include the 3u rack in the pics or a full size 4u rack. Both have front and rear covers

[quote name='plankspanker' timestamp='1490282092' post='3263932'] Lots and lots of power! May I ask what sort of cabs did you use with this amp? [/quote] Indeed, and very versatile in terms of the cabs you can power with it. I currently use it with a Barefaced BB2 which is a great pairing. It's quite an experience to hear the pair combined with an EBS octave pedal. It's like you're DI'd into a couple of 18'' subs!
