Highlights:

Gorgeous and rare finish for this 47 years old Fender Precision Bass, all original and with a very comfortable weight, especially for a late 70s one. Sitting at 4.3Kg, makes it a great gigging instrument. The finish is sometimes called wine red as well and only lasted for a couple of years before it got discontinued. the bass is 100% original and has a beautiful deep and growly tone, as you would expect from a vintage Pbass. The original voters are still on as well as the thumb rest. Comes with a new Black tolex case.

PRICE DROPPED – 1991 Fender Jazz Plus Bass in white Finish with OHSC

Highlights:

Impeccable condition for this 34 years old American made Fender Jazz Bass.

This version of the jazz bass only lasted 3 years and is known as “longhorn” or “boner” due to the longer upper horn to balance the weight as the short one has been cut deeper to access all the frets on the neck.

MUSITRONICS MUTRON BI-PHASE PHASER WITH RARE TEMPLATES AND ORIGINAL FOOTSWITCH

Highlights:

A really amazing and rare piece of gear, made in the 70s by Musitronics in the 70s and in great condition. Comes with the original and extremely hard to find templates and the tap switch. All original beside a replaced knob (the sweep one). The Bi-Phase has plenty of control features, both internal and external, including the ability to control the sweep using the optional Opti-Pot optical foot pedal for wah-style monster phasing. The two independent sweep generators can be used singly or coupled with a choice of sine or square waves. Compared to other phaser pedals of the era such as the MXR Phase 90 and the Electro Harmonix Small Stone – both compact one pot compact units – the Bi-Phase is a complex behemoth. Like its legendary contemporaries, it sounded fabulous and distinctive, and its place in the pantheon of great guitar pedals was assured. However, its flexibility and myriad features, combined with exceptional sonic performance, meant it was destined to be far more than just a guitar pedal, earning the Bi-Phase a place in the rarefied realm of studio classics.

Akai UniBass UB1 Bass Octave Overdrive pedal

Highlights:
  • used but all original and fully functional , this akai uni bass is a really cool pedal. Solid, well built and with a lots of cool sounds. Input gain and output level controls are key. For a cool ring mod kind of sound keep the input gain very low and play several tones at once. The “down a forth” function creates power chords which are cool for a synthlead type sound. The “up a fifth” is also cool. It creates this cool decay sound as the signal fades. Great for increasing the range of any instrument or generator.
