eubassix Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) A few things to clear - previously used (or planned for use) but all in new/good condition. 1. Bass Mute (as new + instructions etc.) for 5s bass. From the BM website: The BassMute · Activated with a simple flick of your finger. · Fits almost any bass. · Adjustable for string-spacings between 16 and 20 mm¹. · Two positions for different degrees of muting . · Can be used for only muting the low B on 5 & 6-string basses. · In addition to "Slapping" and "Tapping", the style of playing with muted strings as used by players like James Jamerson, Rocco Prestia, Anthony Jackson, has become popular again. The simplest way to imitate the sound and playing style of these players is by muting the strings with the palm of your hand and picking the strings with your thumb.The disadvantage of using this technique is that it limits your playing speed and the freedom to pick the strings in different positions towards the neck. Using a piece of rubber foam to mute the strings could solve this problem, but it is not really handy fumbling it under the strings between different songs. For this reason some manufacturers of basses were providing in a muting system on their bridges. The adjustability and results were not always satisfactory, so in the end they were hardly used. In cooperation with Edwin van Huik from the Bass Connection in the Netherlands, luthier Ellio Martina designed a new muting device for bass guitars. The original idea was to design a muting device with excellent muting capabilities, to be engaged quickly and easy to install on almost all known models of basses being around. The Bassmute presented here, is the final result of our efforts. Within the physical limitations of a minimum height between the bass' body and the strings plus enough room between the rear pickup and the bridge to install, we believe we succeeded. €113 (incl P & P) so about £90 new [url="http://www.bassmute.com/bassmute/bm_start.html"]http://www.bassmute.com/bassmute/bm_start.html[/url] Complete and with spare rubber mutes (set) although the ones fitted are still mint. Screws there/never used (.. you can fit with h/duty double sided tape if you want to avoid screwing into the body of a precious instrument) £SOLD 2. BOSS BT-2 Tuner. Still works great (been carefully boxed throughout and used only occasionally. Needle + lights tuning with in/out & bypass. Also has 'flat' (semitone) tuning. £18 (Incl. P&P) 3. GOTOH Chrome Bridge (unused) £SOLD 4. A.N.Other Chrome (Fender J/P style) - unused - £10 (incl P & P). 5. Sterling HS metal/Chrome pickguard. Looks great and is extremly well-made . but also very heavy (cf. a std. plastic PG). £22 (incl. P & P) .. watch this space .. I have a few more boxes to check-through !!... Sorry if the photos are not matched to descriptions: can't fathom how to do that when using the direct Browse/Upload (??? Help!!) - but should be obvious what's what.
