  1. For goodness sake Gareth, are you unable or unwilling to post up a crap looking bass........just once!??
  2. This is an immaculate Hiscox case for a CPX shape acoustic guitar, but will fit Dreadnought size too, as I put mine in it. Came with a Yamaha acoustic, so has Yamaha embossed on top. £35 posted
  3. Some DR blackbeauties 4 string set. About 5 weeks old, but they have been gigged and put on and off 3 different basses, so the coating has started to come off in places. Cut for Jazz bass, bridge stringing, not long enough for through body stringing. Might suit someone who wants to give these a go, before forking out £39 for a new set. £10 posted
  4. SOLD Bass case, fur lined, by Triumph. Fitted my Fender Jazz, probably fit most traditional shapes Good nick, with key. £30 posted, or collected from North Dorset
  5. Decided to sell £180 posted in hiscox yamaha case type bump..
  6. [quote name='nottswarwick' post='1372697' date='Sep 13 2011, 11:57 PM']Actually, I like the bass guitar, but there is no time for music.......[/quote] that's because you're too busy befriending neighbourhood cats.....
  7. Oh dear, just said yes to a USA G&L, fab basses. So this is up again. £250 posted with hard case.

  9. [quote name='BigRedX' post='1355217' date='Aug 29 2011, 01:40 PM']I've got a Kimbara acoustic guitar. It's pretty crap. Also all the Kimbara basses I tried when I was a teenager in the 70s were just your low-budget standard Jap Crap. Better than what you'd get shopping at Woolies, but only by a small amount.[/quote] I was surprised at how good mine is, it's not crap, and it was for sale. That bass looks solid enough, I'm getting a hankering for 70's and 80's Jap made guitars.
  10. It's still a beautiful sage green. I've been playing this an awful lot since I've had the new bridge, nut, etc fitted and even more so whilst my bass of choice is being re-fretted. I'm liking it a lot and have decided to keep it.
  11. Yup Shep bought a string off me. Quick payment and all the good stuff that goes with it. Cheers, John
  12. I'm getting ads for "one knob".....think I'd rather have dating ads!

    DHA DI-EQ

    [quote name='DHA' post='1362970' date='Sep 5 2011, 03:40 PM']Thanks for this. I have had a few requests to add phantom power to the Di's and Eq's so I looked into it and I am testing a solution this week. If it works and all looks good so far, then I will add this to the design with a small additional cost to cover the extra labour and parts. They will still have the battery or power supply operation but there will be an additional switch to select phantom power. I will offer an upgrade path for anyone with an existing Di or Eq as well, should be around £15 plus return postage, or maybe even a kit for those who can drill and solder. it won't work with the valve range of pedals with Di's as most desks won't have the current required on their phantom power output to run the valves.[/quote] Legend! Dave, will you post something on here to let folks know when the phantom power upgrade is available please? Thanks again for a fab product. John
  14. SOLD SOLD Haven't had this long, but was impressed enough with it to get a new gold Gotoh bridge, Wilkinson tuners, Graphtech tusq nut fitted, as it was to be a used as a backup. I had some Dr parts gold tuners that I was going to keep on to match the bridge. They will come boxed with the bass, so you can choose to chuck em on and do what you like with the new Wilko's. Had all bits fitted and set up by local tech who I always use. Currently has new set of Black beauties on, but I'll get originals put back on, re-setup. I was surprised at the high output of the pups when I first plugged it in. I used it at a small festival gig this weekend and it sounded fab. Here's a pic.. it has some marks where a previous/previous owner had fitted a thumb rest (see pics) and there is buckle rash on the back and some small chips on the head stock (see pics). Neck is good. Been looking at USA P's and J's and looks like something is on the cards, so this will not be used. I don't keep guitars to hang on the wall, if they're not going to be played, then they go. But then again my tastes are pretty conservative. I can include a hard case, which is in excellent condition. Happy to deliver/meet up. I'm in Dorset, so could go to Bristol, Bournemouth, Basingstoke, Taunton-ish. I've put £80 into this since buying it last month, with bridge, machine head sets and set up/nut fitting, so prices as follows: Delivered £250 in hard case. Thanks, John
  15. Got a good bass there Paul, enjoy! John
  16. [quote name='Truckstop' post='1360813' date='Sep 3 2011, 11:36 AM']Sell this guy stuff with confidence![/quote] I just did!! Great chap, quick payment good comms, take Truckstop's advice & sell things to Andrew.... Many thanks, John
  17. [quote name='MikeBass' post='1360015' date='Sep 2 2011, 03:56 PM']"2 x Bartolini Mk.I’s. Soapbars Passive controls, 2 concentric pots (vol/vol, t/" is that tone/blend or treble/bass on the second pot? that really is gorgeous. wonder if it could be made active? postage and price got me very interested - have you any sound files of it? cheers, mike.[/quote] Hi Mike, Second pots are bass/ treble. Previous owner had discussed putting active circuit in. The cavity is at the back, so I guess it's possible without spoiling the top. I think that with the mass of the mahogany, bridge and 35" scale it's not needed it? I've only got garage band to record onto through my iPad, happy to do that and send you a file....don't know how to post that here, but I guess I could try that too. John.

    DHA DI-EQ

    +1 I had one from Dave Hall and I used it on a small tour earlier this year abroad. I didn't want to take backline and didn't trust what I may have had to use. Used this straight to desks, fab clean signal and as said, very nice eq. I use it for acoustic 6 string gigs as an outboard eq/volume/DI box too. I can't believe how inexpensive these are, for what you get. Hand built, here in UK. John
  19. £300 posted with gig bag, or trade for P bass, J bass, or something similar.
