2006 Squire Vintage Modified Precision Bass in Olympic White for sale - with some modifications to dress it up like a 70s P bass. I will include the Thomann gig bag with the sale. I have always wanted a 70s P, but as a mainly 5 string player I knew I wouldn't use it that much so I didn't want to commit too much cash to one. So, I found a Squire VM P bass in Olympic white which had a few dings online and then proceeded to create my own. Personally I think it looks great and it saddens me to sell it but I could do with a little cash injection right now. So, the main change is the headstock. The squire details were removed and sanded flat, some discolouration added to age the wood, a 70s decal added and then a vintage amber Nitro lacquer from NorthWest Guitars. I have flatted it back and flatted off the sheen from the back of the neck so it's nice and smooth. Aged string retainer and neck F plate was added (I always intended to add aged tuners and bridge but never got round to it.) Body - it had a few dinks here and there which have been added to (nothing major to be honest) and the bass still has the Seymore Duncan designed pickups, original bridge and tuners. The olympic white has aged and yellowed really nicely and the rosewood board is nice and dark. I know this won't be to everyone's taste but if you fancy a 70s P and don't fancy the price of one, this could be for you! I have included a picture of the original squire serial number for information. Not sure what else to add about the bass. It plays great and sounds just like a P should. The previous owner changed the wiring to cloth wiring and added an orange drop cap to the tone control. Any trial is welcome and I have packaging to post. Will look at quotes and would be happy to share the postage costs.

Hi all, I bought this on here in July 2024 to use on an upcoming tour, then decided on two separate signal chains (upright and electric) instead of using this as an A/B box. It has sat in a drawer in its pouch ever since, so is immaculate, and has probably only had a few hours use by me. It’s essentially the same pedal as the Basswitch DI (more well known to us electric bassists) but with a couple different features, namely a notch filter, and the ability to mix both inputs (for those using mic and pickup on their upright). It’s mainly aimed at upright players, hence the name and variation from the Basswitch, but it’s a lovely and very capable electric bass preamp, and has 2 effects loops, and a DI out. A real swiss army knife utility pedal. Perfect for running 2 instruments into a common signal chain and sending a single DI out. Comes with velcro attached (can take off if needed), it’s detachable rubber feet, and its protective pouch. Looking for what I paid for it - £150 + postage, or can be picked up from UB10, London.

These look stunning! Very much aiming at the Rob Allen style of bass. RRP of around €3,500.

Relisting due to financial situation. Not the bass I want to sell most but suffice to say I have enough jazz basses, even if this is jazz software on precision hardware. Made in Korea in the 80s, it's well made and well used. Let me know if you want more pictures. I replaced the pickup covers with cream covers because I like the Tony-Franklin-esque contrast and the originals were in a state. I do not have the thumb rest. Quick edit, photos above don't show this wear:

Thanks. Have another biscuit ! These are stunning basses in appearance, even better than my photos and the pickups / preamp don’t disappoint either. I couldn’t find any other preowned one’s for sale in the UK currently so this is a great chance for somebody to enjoy a magnificent bass. Cheers. Quent

These Harley Benton strings are amazing, a bit more rough under the fingers, but the overall tone is really excellent: https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_hqs_bass_45_100_flatwound.htm And here is the thread about them:

Does Your Covers Band Change Songs? What Changes and Why?
fretmeister replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
One time I had mic stand thrown at me because apparently "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" doesn't need a bass solo between each vocal line. I beg to differ Ma'am! -
I do it a lot myself, hence the irony

Does Your Covers Band Change Songs? What Changes and Why?
Rexel Matador replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
I was in a covers bad until fairly recently and there were a few reasons: 1) sometimes one member of the band (usually the drummer) just couldn't seem to shake a mistake that he'd internalised after playing a part slightly wrong for so long, so going along with his version kept the band tight and wasn't a big enough deal that anyone would care in the middle of a gig situation - path of least resistance. 2) we weren't a tribute band, and were only a power trio, so had to be creative sometimes if we liked a song but the recorded arrangement didn't suit us - those often went down well as they'd be songs people weren't expecting us to play. We did a version of the song Bad Company, which was a Goldilocksian hybrid of the original (too piano-y) and the Five Finger Death Punch version (to metal-y) that suited our capabilities. 3) drummer/band leader in particular was fond of doing medleys/running songs into each other/"interpreting" - we did a long jammy version of Communication Breakdown which as far as I'm aware borrowed from various available live versions, other Zep songs, etc. Always went down well. -

It is a lovely preamp however the EQ is very limited. If you are looking for surgical EQs or ‘flat’ response then you will be disappointed. Essentially it sounds nothing like the graphic EQ solid state amps to my ears. The general tone however is awesome, especially with a passive bass. I would never sell my V6.
