I replied instantly I saw this, but I was already too late.

I have to revise my SB700/800/1000s to check exactly which model it is, but I would have bought it regardless.

Me too and kept the case.

Might be gone but thought I'd post the nice pics - £120!!!!!

SB700, surely.

I appreciated the seller's courtesy in telling me it was gone. For quite a few gumtree ads, I send off a query and hear nothing in return.

[/quote]That's all that ever happens of late, I've been trying to land a Yamaha BB414. I'm starting to think Gumtree is a waste of time.

I disagree. Whenever I buy over-priced crap I've found they always respond very fast.

Hey someone please buy this one...

Except that you can find these for half that price on eBay and around that price brand new.

Ahhh... point taken. Can't say I know J&D (as if that needed saying)

[Annoying Twit]

J&D basses are sold by companies such as DV247, and some headstocks etc. look suspiciously like some Harley Benton basses. I've seen the basses that seem to be inspired by Aria Pro II basses online, but never in real life. DV247 doesn't sell the J&D bass as in the listing above. Perhaps it's an old model. If I see one in real life, I'll give it a go.

A shop local to me had a Toby Pro bass, which also looked quite Aria Pro II inspired. (And is probably upmarket compared to the J&D bass).

Anyone on here know of an SB1000 for sale?
