  1. **NOW SOLD** I’ve got things I need to buy, but need to shift this first - this is a real bargain at this price, it’s an absolutely fantastic bass for the money - Fully Insured U.K. Delivery via Courier will be arranged, and it will be packaged in a padded Thomann Gig bag and then boxed for safe shipping ——————————— G&L Tribute JB Jazz Bass - £350 inc U.K. Delivery & padded Thomann Gig Bag Colour is Lake Placid Blue, it’s a kind of metallic or slightly sparkly paint rather than a plain solid blue, not sure if you can see it in pics - it looks really good This is a fantastic jazz bass, sounds exactly like a jazz bass should and the G&L pickups are really powerful and give you all the sounds you’d expect from a good J Bass. I love a mod, but these pickups (IMO) are really good and don’t need upgrading. This bass is a level above the Fender MIM jazz’s I’ve had, it’s so well made and nice to play and sounds amazing Comes with the premium G&L bridge which is a fantastically good bridge, 20 frets, neck profile is “Medium C” whatever that means, it’s a very very nice neck to play. I don’t know why everyone sleeps on G&L but this is incredibly good and well made bass. It’s still in excellent condition, I’ve never taken it out the house tbf - I feel if it had Fender on the headstock it’s easily £600+ and so there’s big value to be had in these I will ship in a padded Thomann gig bag as part the price, or collect in County Durham and we’ll discuss knocking the shipping fees off Trades: Cali76 (or maybe an Empress BC), SushiBox preamp (particularly looking for Elementary or Underground Accelerator) or other clean tube type preamp, Sire V5 24 fret (or other 24 fret), what you got?
  2. What’s the string spacing on these?
  3. Ha only the ones still in my bass I’m afraid 😝
  4. I want this, without any shadow of a doubt, however right now is a terrible time for me financially, but I’ve never let that stop me before 😂 I’m gonna have a look at selling some other gear and grab it if it’s still here, be a week or so at least tho I’d have thought. I’m not a million miles from you either (Chester le St) so would probably come pick it up if so. I’m gonna start seeing what I can bear to part with and I’ll be in touch asap…
  5. That can’t be right - I don’t remember buying it?! 🤣
  6. @Sibob - you selling the Capo?? 🤞 😃
  7. I’ve sent you a PM @Thor cheers
  8. Bloody hell that’s a bargain for £100! 😯 Really decent amps these - if anyone is trying to get a good gigging rig together on a budget this would be ideal
  9. I agree with this - having had the SGT-Di and currently owning a HX Stomp, the Ampeg is absolutely miles better than the Stomp at the SVT/B15, I think you’d be looking at a Quad Cortex etc for a similar quality of B15/SVT sim, the HX stomp doesn’t even come close tbh - not that it’s bad, just the SGT is very good at the one thing it does
  10. I’ve got one of these, they’re excellent. I actually need a backup - I’ll see how I’m fixed after I get paid next week, however it’s not a good month for me, but I might be able to squeeze it in, I’ll let you know if I can do it
  11. Is the Spectracomp still for sale?
  12. That’s exactly what I thought - basically looks identical to the /01 & /02 (and /94) body shape, it’s the lower cutaway which is quite distinctive to those Lakland basses IMO, I’d think if Lakland did want to get litigious about it then there’s a pretty obvious bit of plagiarism on the body design from Sire
  13. I’ve been saying for ages I wanted to see Sire get involved with MM style basses,that U7 looks awesome too, the U5 is a well underrated and although I am a BIG Sire fan, I don’t rate the Heritage preamp particularly and mostly played my P7’s/V7’s in passive. I rate Sire over Fender if you’re either doing like for like (MIM v The better Sires like V7/9 etc) or if you’re doing value Sire wins hands down IMO. I’ve stopped buying cheaper instruments and then losing money cos I always end up upgrading to the better one than I wanted anyway, but Sire are the budget brand I really rate. That being said I can’t see the point at all in the V10 - same preamp/pickups as the V7 and same preamp as the £199 V3! Same complaint with the F10 - I really think it’s bizarre to have the same preamp on the “boutique” range that u do on your cheapest Jazz. Apart from having Passive tone in active mode (my pet hate when people don’t do this!) and i guess parametric mids which are ok, I think the preamp sounds crap. The bass is at 20hz and is only useful to cut low end which then means you have to set your mids as low as poss (~80hz I think) to get any low end boost, meaning it only really functions as a 2 band for me, the treble is way high as well, but it’s easily replaced and for a lot of people the Sires are just great mod platforms anyway. I’ll probably buy one of the acoustics and never use it, I look forward to it sitting in the studio unplayed until I inevitably sell it on for 1/2 what I paid!
  14. There’s a really good video comparing the Bassrig ‘64 and the Capo - I’m gonna look for it actually and post it up**, it kinda shows that the Capo can do what the Bassrig does plus a load of other stuff besides. Bassrig still comes out looking good but it really shows what a good bit of kit the Capo is **Here it is:
  15. **NOW SOLD. DemonFX Harmonic Booster Clean Preamp pedal - this is a very good clone of the much more expensive Darkglass Harmonic Booster pedal. Perfect working order - it’s just had light use (at home & in a few rehearsals) & still in good condition, . I recently had a go with a real Darkglass HB pedal and they sound almost exactly the same to my ears. Bought from AliExpress earlier this year, cost about £60 with taxes & shipping, but I’m just not using it and it’s that time of year where I need to sells bits off before I can spend! It has a Bass and Treble Boost/Cut, then a Mid frequency selector between 250hz - 2.5hz and a Mid Gain knob, there is also a Boost knob, and a Character knob which is really like a wet/dry for how much of your original signal you want through (all the way counter clockwise is almost all of it, and all the way clockwise is none), so there’s a huge amount you can do with this pedal. but it’s all clean - there’s no distortion or saturation at all The DemonFX (and the Darkglass) Harmonic Booster is set up at the following frequencies: Bass: +/- 20db @ 80hz Treble: +/- 20db @ 5khz Mid: +/- 20db @ Mid Frequency Selected Mid Frequency: Between 250hz - 2.5khz Boost: +/- 20db clean boost Character: Blend in the perfect amount of tone-shaping circuitry Power: Normal 9v pedalboard power supply works fine Price is £25 including U.K. postage No box, but I’ll make sure it’s wrapped and packaged well so it can’t get damaged in transit ** I’ve priced it keenly so it’ll shift quickly. I have some other bits to buy, but need to move other bits for space as much as cash! It really does sound the same as the DG one, so if that’s something you fancied then this is a very cheap way to try it! **
  16. Yes! Absolutely hideous combination
  17. Another one I forgot to add is Black hardware, especially tuners. Awful
  18. It’s a little bit pricey considering condition, however it looks like it’s the active version which do go for a bit more. Personally, if I had played it and liked it, and none of the issues were more than visually looking a bit old & ropey I wouldn’t feel aggrieved at having paid about £300 for it, but I do think you’ve got plenty of things there you could try and chip him down on, and I feel less aggrieved if I paid closer to £250 for it, but even at full price, if it plays well and you like it it’s not a rip off at all - Westone Thunder’s are nice basses!
  19. - No passive tone control - Having a passive tone control, but it doesn’t work in active mode - Weird square (usually) 2+2 headstocks - Pointy angles on the body - MusicMan Bongo’s 🤮
  20. Yeh I’ve been using it a lot this last month, mostly live direct to IEM’s but I also use it direct to amp for one band I play with and it definitely makes a big difference to your tone, you still get the fat, clear tone you get direct
  21. What a beautiful P-Bass tone that is, very very nice 🤩
  22. Is this still available?
  23. They don’t stay up long do they?! Haha - I fancy getting a year of birth Bass (which is ‘82) most the Jazz’s I’ve seen from that year have been boat anchors, this is the one that I see most often from ‘82 but they’re usually £1200-1500! I’ve missed a bargain
