Hi Everyone,

I'm replacing some of my stuff so flogging a few bits and bobs. Open to offers, bulk deals and swaps, just get in touch.

Up for grabs is:

- Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Wah - £30

Needs no introduction - you know what it does! Currently the rubber feet are off as it's attached to a pedalboard, let me now if you want them and I'll put them back on.

- Boss Power Driver (Discontinued so rare) - £30

This is a distortion with Muscle and Fat controls (treble and bass) The fat gives you a lovely smooth and quite subby bottom end, and the muscle gives you a nasty fuzz-like bite. It's good for rhythm parts with chords. The low end is not at all tight so palm-muting is rumbly and not percussive, which is useful in some situations. It's got a lot of gain if you want it, and you can get a nice creamy lead tone out of it too.

- Akai G-Drive (Also discontinued) - £50

This is a big distortion/drive pedal with two 7-band graphic EQs, one pre gain and one post, so you get a lot of control over your tone. You can get everything from retro fuzz to crazy shredding out of it. The battery connector's broken off on this one so its 9V PSU only or you can repair it if you're so inclined.

- 1963 Framus Fret Jet - offers :)

This is a sixties hollow body electric, it's kind of a jazz guitar setup. They were made in East Germany back in the day. Now Framus make 'posh' solid bodies that go for several grand so this is an interesting little guitar.

It needs a little bit of work on the neck and the switching, and a refinish could make it very beautiful. I was planning on restoring it but haven't got round to it. It deserves a good home and a bit of love.

If this was in good condition it would be a little bit of rock n roll history, I've had it valued and it's probably worth about £450 - £500, but I've been quoted £100 - £150 for the repairs, so bear that in mind and make me an offer.


All the pedals are used and have been on a pedal board or two, so the usual wear and tear, but all are in perfect working order.

Swaps and offers are welcome, and I'm willing to negotiate if you want more than one!
