That’s a beauty mr d 👌

Fender Mustang PJ MIM A feeler and please remove if it’s in the wrong section or if spares/repairs isn’t acceptable. I’m selling this as a spares project although it is functional albeit not pretty. I bought it earlier this year. It looked water damaged and an absolute mess. I bought it for the body and hardware and pickup parts, the plan being to strip it and buy a new neck for it. The neck had a lot of lacquer cracks and splits around the trussrod veneer at the back and headstock fascia. It needed some rewiring and a new tone pot and all the hardware cleaning with a wire brush. The finish was lifting in lots of places but there were no obvious cracks in the body - I thought about stripping it and finishing it with Tru-oil but haven’t got round to it. When it arrived I thought it wasn’t as bad as I had expected so I cleaned it up. Did the work on the pots,etc. the pickups were fine. I watched a video of rescuing a neck in similar condition and had a bash using epoxy resin. So I tried that and clamped it for a few days and gave it a light sanding to make it feel smooth under the hand. I’m no luthier, I just did it for as an experiment for fun. To my surprise the neck was okay to play and the trussrod worked and adjusted as it ought to. I have actually rehearsed and gigged with it as a spare for my old Fender Musicmaster. The headstock fascia and back has lots of hairline splits in it that I filled with titebond and clamped. They’ve been fine but again I wouldn’t really trust it as a main gigging bass. I must emphasise it’s probably best described as a Fender Mustang body (genuinely Roadworn bass) with a free neck. It’s a fun beater as is or you could put some more work into it to make it into a nice project. You could put another neck on it (I had bought a Bronco neck that unfortunately didn’t materialise thanks to a dodgy courier). The parts are all pretty decent after cleaning. It weighs around 3.7kgs. Here are pics, I can post more if there is interest. The last pictures are when I got it. God knows what had happened to the poor thing! No trades I can post in the UK for around £20.

My really nice P Bass which I would rate as being in excellent 9/10 condition with just a few play wear marks mainly to the pick guard, tiny piece of the headstock decal missing + small dings & play wear marks, the worst being near the bridge cover / rear strap button area - please see pics. The black line on the rear of the otherwise unmarked neck is ‘in the wood’ & not damage. The headstock is clean & free from damage. I’ve owned & played umpteen P Basses over the past half Century and I can honestly say that this is right up there with the best of them - in my humble opinion of course. Very low action all the way up the fingerboard with spot on relief thanks to level frets & a Pro set up which makes this P Bass very easy to play, plus very well balanced at 3.9kg, or 8.59lbs in old money. Fully functioning easy to turn both ways Truss Rod, which can be adjusted without removing the neck New set of La Bella Low Tension Flats just fitted. Fender USA superb quality C & G black hard case, with plush red interior included. Numbered Fender Certificate of Authenticity + both ashtrays, tug bar & Case Candy. Lovey playing / sounding P Bass that I’m sure the new owner will be ‘cock a hoop’ with! I believe these were based on a ‘63 P Bass rather than the newer American Original 60’s ll which I think are based on a ‘62 P?

Better snaps done but not dusted 🤡

For sale is my lovely Yamaha TRB-IIF 5-string factory fretless bass in trans blue. It's a 35" scale factory fretless version of the well-regarded TRB-II basses. Made in Japan between 1998 and 2004, these were top of the line instruments, featuring Yamaha Alnico single-coil hum cancelling pickups and Yamaha's TRB 'Q-mix' 3-band preamp. This is an absolutely lovely example; there's some very small dings on the top but otherwise it's amazing for a 25+ year bass. The serial no suggests it was made in 2000 (if I've read this guide correctly). It has 18mm string spacing, and is currently fitted with DR Legend flatwounds. I think I have some Rotosound tapewounds if you would prefer. A lovely low action and amazing fretless tone. Got Basschat strap holders on ATM - I'll remove those and the strap unless you desperately want them. I think £900 is a fair value, looking at some others for sale ATM, but happy to consider offers. I much prefer a meet up than posting so you can be absolutely happy with what you're buying, but will post (UK only) if you’re desperate. I’ve agreed to buy a bass so this is for sale only. Thanks for reading!

Where is the truss rod adjustment? At the "heel"?

Would consider trades for a medium or short scale something, or a EUB. What do you have?

I was going to make this point too. I used to have an old Park valve head which was designed for bass but was bought off me by a guitarist who reckoned it was the beat amp he'd ever played though. I assume this is why the original Fender Bassman amps are so popular with guitarists too. GLWTS

I had one, it was absolutely awesome. Great basses.

It is, thanks
