Walnut stain finish Sterling Sub Ray 4. Bought by me on here back in October but now surplus to requirements. 2EQ bass/treble cut/boost circuit and a surprisingly zingy sounding humbucker. When it arrived I wasn't too impressed with how it played but I spent a couple of days tweaking and got the action down, improving it dramatically. I also recently (2 - 3 weeks ago) restrung with Fender flats as the old strings were very dead. Now plays and sounds excellent. I've just given it a quick once over and apart from fingerprints on the usual areas, I can't see a mark or scratch anywhere on the instrument. I never gigged with it, mostly home use and played at a couple of practices. Comes with a Stagg gig bag and I just put a fresh battery in there too. The RRP on these is around £320 new, selling for £180. Quick edit: not looking for any trades at all. Sorry! Based in Sheffield or willing to courier anywhere in the UK. Any questions, feel free to ask.

New years bump! Please save this guitar from a fate worse than Gumtree.

2015 bump!

Grr, where was this 6 weeks ago eh? Looks very nice, good luck with the sale.

I've had a firm offer on this with a view to having it collected Thursday but will consider the others if it falls through for any reason. Thanks for the interest so far everyone.

"[font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Hi Gareth,[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Thanks for your email.

I'm the same, I'm not really active in bands atm apart from an upcoming slot in a Bowie tribute band so I'm having a clearout too. I could do with a nice chorus for a couple of songs but I'll see what I can shift and what I still have GAS for in a few days and get in touch.

Damn it Sim, just as I'm managing to sell some stuff off for christmas/car repairs, you do this to me! Do you still have that SWR combo by any chance?

The bare wood I can see through the f-holes looks like mahogany, it's definitely too dark for maple.

Thanks guys! I'm not sure what year it is Greg, any idea how to tell from the s/n?

This is the older model beige percolator, back when Fredric Effects offered 3 different versions. There's a decent comparison video below. This version used NOS Russian MP16B Ge & standard 2N3904 Si transistors, Russian KD514A silicon diodes apparently... No idea what difference that makes to the sound. All I know is that it was my main guitar distortion pedal for a long time until I got a Rat, modded it and never looked back. Reasonably aggressive but fairly transparent sound, and with a switch for 2 clipping options. Although it was on my board for a while, everything was nicely secured and this has come out of it with only 2 minor scuffs/scrapes to the top and bottom of the pedal so is still in good condition. £45 posted, UK sale preferred.

Bought from Goblin on here a couple of years ago, this is a very nice playing semi hollow Gordon Smith Gypsy. The only main problem it has is that one of the posts securing the bridge to the body has been installed slightly wonkily and the bridge cannot therefore be height adjusted using the posts, although I don't know if that was ever the intention with this type of bridge. The intonation can still be set using the saddles without any issues. Both humbuckers have a coil tap and it's one of the easiest playing guitars I've owned. Sadly, I've discovered after around 16 years of playing that I'm a Fender man through and through and I'm not using it. It's been played and has a few dings. But is otherwise in good condition. Currently strung with heavy strings and tuned to C# standard but I can throw a set of Ernie Ball 10's in there on request. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'll courier the guitar and am looking at a UK sale only. I can't think of anything I'd consider in terms of trades due to the collection slim down and the fact I generally need to own less stuff but you can always ask![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Any questions, feel free to PM me. More pics on request. Based in Sheffield if you want to collect or try it out and have a brew. I'm off work the week commencing the 15th so if someone buys by then, it's very flexible for me in terms of organising a courier.

I part ex'd some gear at a local music shop and after trying out all 4 models they had in stock, ended up with this sunburst Bass IV as it seemed like the best of the bunch in terms of finish and setup. However, it was a bit of an impulse buy as I now realise I have no need for it and am trying to slim down my guitar/bass collection. I also got asked to join a friends band and had to get a decent fretted 4 stringer, so the Squire up for sale here for £200, about 2/3 of the new RRP. There's no case and the strap isn't included. It's never left my smoke free house since purchase and still has the protective plastic on the pickguard and pickups. It all plays and sounds great from the limited time it's been amplified. I'll courier the bass and am looking at a UK sale only. I can't think of anything I'd consider in terms of trades due to the collection slim down and the fact I generally need to own less stuff but you can always ask! And yes, you can totally nail the 'Wichita Lineman' solo on it. Any questions, feel free to PM me. More pics on request. Based in Sheffield if you want to collect or try it out and have a brew.
