I’ve unintentionally ended up playing just one bass all of 2025! Still loving it as much now as I did in 2017 when I got it so will take something special to sway me this year.

Up for sale is my Warwick 5 string corvette..made in Korea ..these were manufactured for about 3 years before being discontinued as the quality was that good it effected sales of the German made these are quite rare . looks like it’s had a colour change which looks a professional job ..there are signs of buckle rash but no damage . I’ve upgraded the tuners and the ramp is easily removable if you wish …the bass is passive but has a great tone …and fitted with Elixir nanoweb Stainless 45/130 looks like a 2010 date of manufacture. the usual 16.5 spacing though this is adjustable weighing 3.8kg price includes Warwick gig bag and uk postage…

We could start a "July-Dec" challenge in parallel. Of course means that @AndyTravis is absolutely guaranteed to buy a bass on 2nd July.

I agree - I had a BG250 15" and it was excellent. I think people have woken up to how good they are as the secod hand price has crept up from £150 to closer to £200. -

the spongy type pipe lagging works well. It's easy to get hold of and cheap cheap.

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.

Another Kazumi Watanabe/Jeff Berlin tune, this is The User from the 2013 album 'Spinning Globe'. Some interesting ideas in here but no solos per se so we are in with a chance. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-user-kazumi-watanabe/

I remember those from an HD500 I had. Much more robust than the current ones. I’m on my second one already. It was replaced easily enough under warranty but a faff to sort.
