You will not get a better Jazz bass than this for 270 notes. Bargain.

Wow! THAT is NICE! Absolutely love that colour combination. GLWTS.

Price drop to £125! Get in! EDIT: And hurry - I think I may have just sold it - to myself!

*SOLD* Hughes & Kettner BK200 Bass Combo £125 From H&K's BassKick series. This particular example is in near-mint condition and has seen very little use. The pics show how clean it is. The 15" Eminence driver hasn't even been played-in yet. The input stage features H&K's 'Tube Touch' circuit and also their 'Dyna Clip' power stage, which go some way towards emulating the warmth of a valve amp. Most manufacturer's attempts to do this involve fitting a 12AX7 valve at the input stage - which usually achieves little except to create a marketing opportunity - but in this case the technology does indeed result in some harmonically-rich and articulate tones, but without the token valve. The EQ is wired parallel, which is unusual. This has the effect of separating the frequencies somewhat and results in a much cleaner, more lucid sound. The 'Punch' button is in essence a very mild mid-scoop, but it doesn't result in loss of audibility in the mix like some 'contour' -type buttons, and is actually useful. There is also a really sweet-sounding Leson HF horn (switchable) which adds air and a nice glassy presence, but is never harsh or strident. The single-knob compressor is a real beauty - you can get a tight, controlled bottom end and smooth, even levels across the strings without any squashy artefacts or pumping. It sounds natural and very transparent. The controls have a nice weight to them, are positive in use and the Compressor and Master controls are reassuringly large, with a pleasing retro look. The combo is built to a high standard (made in Germany) and would easily handle a punishing tour... or twenty tours, come to that. You get a full 200W into 4ohms, but this doesn't mean you can't add an extension cab (or cabs), as another unusual feature is how the amp deals with impedance - on a 'normal' 500W amp you'd get around 300W at 8ohms, add another 8ohm cab and get 500W at 4ohms. But with this amp the impedance is additive - so if you plug in an 8ohm cab the amp runs at 12ohms, if you add a 4ohm cab it will run at 8ohms. Brilliant if you think about it, as this feature protects the amp - it will never run at an impedance lower than it can comfortably handle, yet you get all the power of the amp into the 4ohm driver when it's used as a stand-alone combo. Very clever. It may be 'only' 200 watts but it's a loud combo and can provide good heft and authority without distortion. It will easily keep up with drums and guitar and is very suitable for use in small to medium rooms - and stages of any size with PA support. It's a really good thing, has some truly innovative features and is offered at a price which wouldn't even buy you a 15" Eminence driver. So get in and get yourself a high-quality, great sounding combo at a bargain price. Cash on collection only please. I'm in SE London close to the A205 South Circular. Will consider delivery for fuel costs if you're within striking distance. 200 Watts RMS 15" Custom Eminence Driver USA Tube Touch & Dyna Clip Circuits Leson HF Horn (Switchable) 4-Band Parallel EQ Variable Compressor Additive Impedance Cab System Dimensions: 552 X 604 X 385mm Weight: 24kg Made in Germany My feedback is here. I'm open to (sensible) offers. No trades, thanks.

*SOLD* GHS M7200 Pressurewound 44-106 *£18 Posted* The sound of rounds with something of the feel of flats (it says here). To me, they sound and feel like rounds that have been played-in for about three months, but smoother. If that's your thing, then these are for you. I really like the tone, feel and tension of these strings, but... I like my previous strings a little bit more. Trouble is, I don't know what they are - and so the search continues. The E and A strings are cut (generously) for a 4 in-line headstock. £18 Posted. Now SOLD.

I've already got a six-string... it's a g**t*r. Oops, that's torn it...

Ha! Thanks for the offer, but I'm working towards being a one-bass man.

And replied. Still available - ideally looking for a UK sale.

*SOLD* Squier Deluxe Active Jazz IV Yes, I'll get flak for this no doubt! And you'll understand why when you read my recent review of this bass, here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/333471-nbd-squier-deluxe-active-jazz-iv-revisited/ It's a very good bass and I really don't want to let it go, but I so enjoyed having just the one instrument, that I want to return to that hallowed state and have my Bitsa Jazz as my one and only bass. Not that it's better than this Squier - it's not - but I put it together myself from, er... bits. So it has sentimental value for me, plus it's really not good enough for me to sell on and keep the Squier. Also I'd need to paint it white, sunburst not being my thing. I do like having the versatility of an on-board preamp however and as soon as this sells I'm going to spend the money on a spiffy preamp for the bitsa. I will include the cream pickguard. It's only held on with two screws, so you can opt for the pickguard-less look if you want and use the pickguard as a coaster, or you can keep it and put the rest of the screws in, obviously the choice is yours. Having had courier issues recently I'm reluctant to post this and would much prefer you to come and try it out and pay cash on collection. I'm in SE London close to the A205 South Circular. BUT if you're geographically challenged and you really want it, I'd be happy for you to arrange your own courier and take responsibility for the delivery yourself. I have the original Anderton's box and materials it came to me in, and will do a very good job of repacking it for transit to your atelier. In which case payment will be via bank transfer, please. These Indonesian Squiers are quality, the bass is priced to sell very quickly and for £145 you will get a ridiculously playable instrument that is easily good enough to be your main squeeze. In short, it's a real bargain. So if you want to dabble with a preamp, or a Jazz, or an Ebonol board, you can do all these things at very low-risk with this purchase. It would make an excellent back-up bass, too. The bass has a very small ding between the pickups and one or two other small abrasions too piffling to show up in a photograph - it's essentially a brand new bass. Have a look at the pics. It's wearing Fender 7250M roundwounds and I will include the strings that the bass came fitted with. Now for some pics: Now SOLD. I thank you!
