30" scale. and Yes, Seattle
send email via pm for pics, if interested.

does anybody need a small guitar cabinet?

Marshall 1922, 2 x 12, contains two Eminence Tonkers.

$250. Shipping at cost. I'm in New Jersey.

No pictures because it is a Marshall 1922 - It is in fine shape.

I have a Doepfer A-100 case if anyone is in need. I'm the original owner and the power buses all work as they should.

I may be interested. What size is it? Thanks.

-it is a 1968 Melody Maker bass body (the neck was fucked)
-import 30" scale neck
-P bass bridge and pickup
this has been a great soldier for us- been on any number of tours- sounds great, plays great, compact and lightweight. maybe worth a couple hundred?
I'll take some pics in the next few days.

So the body is a real '68 Gibson? Does it still have the mudbucker pickup as well?

Yeah, that sounds cool as fuck. I'm saving money, but somebody should rock the shit out of this.

I'm interested to know more details.

Got a set of 80s Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB humbuckers for sale. They're the ones with the stamped label on the underside and these are "JBJ" which is apparently quite sought-after. One is 15.6k total output, the other 15.9k. In their original plastic boxes with the mounting screws and springs I got with them. In nice shape for the age, they came out of a guitar I just had restored and have about 12cm cable length on both. They sounded excellent.

They seem to go for quite high money looking online. I was thinking £200 for the pair - I'm in Nottingham, UK.

I just finished restoring a Round badge Gretsch kit from the early '60s. Sizes are 8x12, 16x16, 14x20.

I have them up for $1650 on the Gear Sites, but will do special PRF discounts if one of you lot is interested.

Here's the good: Kit is super clean. No extra holes except for the Ludwig tom mount, which is the only mount on the shell, so I suspect that it was installed at the shop at the request of a customer. It takes a modern Ludwig 1" tom post, so you could easily put a RIMS mount on the tom and not have to mess with a snare stand. Your call. Original tom legs and all the diamond mounts work.

Floor tom is clear interior so I am guessing it was right when they changed over to 6-ply shells with silver sealer.

Pratt muffler is there and complete with original felt. Kick legs are original. Chrome is GREAT.

All lugs are packed with wool felt. My plan was to play this kit forever and then we hit a deer in the family car and, y'know, that's how it goes sometimes.

Here's all the caveats:

There are a few minor scuffs on the finish. I tried to put photos of all of them in the listing.

I patched a chunk of missing wrap on the reso side of the kick. It's not terrible but I'm no Jack Lawton.

The shells require Remo Classic Fit or other oversized heads. Standard heads are wicked tight. The kit currently has Coated Ambassador Classic Fit on the toms and they sound GREAT. Kick drum reso is a standard sized Gretsch logo head and it's TIGHT. It makes the kick sound very bop-ish. It's a 20" Gretsch, though, so it was leaning that way anyway.

I cut new inlays for the kick drum hoops from period correct Gretsch blue sparkle and the truth is that I kind of suck at cutting straight lines. If you get right on top of the drum, you can see that the inlay could have been cut cleaner.

Kick drum badge is a reproduction, btw. It'll fade darken like the other two in time!
