I bought this a couple of weeks ago but I haven't gelled with it and gone back to my MXR pedal. It's mint condition, all boxes, leaflets, stickers intact. I pulled the rubber feet off to attach to my board so there is a little velcro adhesive residue on the back, I replaced the feet but they may not have enough adhesive left so there's a spare set of rubber boots for it. It's a very useful pedal, I especially liked the tilt control which is reminiscnet of the old Trace SMX eq balance control. Useful little practice headphones rig too. Posted at cost to you or pickup possible.

We all know these old stalwarts. Built like a tank and sounding fantastic. I've run out of room on my pedal board so this one has to go. As you can see, it's been through the wars and has more than a few battle scars. All clean as a whistle inside. Battery connector replaced as the old ones were getting very sketchy. Runs on 18V dc and as the power connector is not the standard 2.1mm one, I'll chuck in an adapter to get past that. Will post at cost to you or you're welcome to pick up from Loughborough.

I haven't the first idea why I"ve got these, I've never owned a medium scale bass so I can only assume I was half cut or hungover when I bought them. Found them the other day when I was having a sort out. They've never been on an instrument in their life so effectively as good as new. £25 posted to you. I think they're £50+ in the shops!

It's a funny old do, this bass lark. You search for ages for a bass that you think is "the one" and it's love at first sight, or so it seems. The initial rush of blood subsides and things just don't work out. I bought this in March on this forum but we just haven't gelled. I'm sure we all know about Sandberg basses, impeccable quality, great sound and feel. This is basically a five string Jazz with John East J-Retro Deluxe electronics. It's as light as a feather, 3.1Kg according to my scales, so it'll put a few chiropractors out of work. Condition wise, apart from a couple of small dents to the body, it's pretty much mint. The neck is clean and free of dings and scratches. Comes with it's original Sandberg gig bag. Pick up in Loughborough or meet at a reasonable distance. I'm in Brum next week if that's any use to anybody.

Sandberg Lionel/Superlight - Any Users Out There?
Fettsman replied to Lozz196's topic in Bass Guitars
I bought a California TT 5 super light the other week. 6lb 11oz! Debuted it last night at a small gig. Lovely instrument to play, plenty of punch and sustain. No neck dive. Our sound man was very impressed with it. Best of all, I have no aching shoulder or back as I did with my previous 10.8 lb Sandberg 5 stringer. -
A very painless transaction. Came when he said he would and no problems. Even the rabbit approved!

This is a Fender Custom Vibrolux Reverb from 1998. Basically a modification of the ’63 Brown Panel Vibroverb reissue from the early nineties. Fender took the Vibroverb reissue circuit board and made a few modifications to increase overdrive and put reverb on both channels. This made the amp incredibly noisy. The amp has been modded back to the Vibroverb reissue circuit using the Moyer/Fromell mods so it no longer sounds like the chip pan is on anymore. Reverb is now only on the bright channel and the negative feedback loop has been restored resulting in more headroom and significantly less noise. Work done: All electrolytic capacitors replaced with high quality Sprague/F&T/TAD/Nichicon caps. New Power valve sockets. New reverb tank Captive reverb cables removed, phono sockets fitted to rear panel and vintage style reverb cables fitted. Heater wiring and balance resistors removed from PCB to remove danger of heat damage. Screen resistors relocated to power valve sockets to remove danger of heat damage to PCB. Bright cap removed from bright channel. The amp now runs quietly with minimal background noise and will make a great gigging amp. It takes pedals beautifully! The tone stacks are very Brown Panel in sound, very different to my Deluxe Reverb. The vibrato (sic) is very lush and as it modulates the power valve bias is available on both channels.

A Hipshot BT1 short key d-tuner. A bit of a rarity maybe as it has the Fender logo on it. On my Stingray for a while but it's gone now so up for grabs. In very good order with ferrule and countersunk screws. Suitably road worn so won't look too out of place on an older instrument. Short tuning peg as on a Musicman. £60 posted to your door with Special Delivery .

I bought Paul's Sandberg Superlight the other day. You know it's going to be a good one when the first discussion upon arrival concerns tea. Despite the kettle problems the whole transaction was extremely painless and I thank you So does my back! Highly recommended.
