Had this ages as a "to do" project, but pretty unlikely to get around to it... It works (sort of ) and makes noise but needs some tweaking, possibly a pot change or a wire/component needs replacing to get it working consistently and good. Exterior pots work, but feel well worn. Looking at the components it appears CMOS 4049 Hex inverter based . so it probably is a Craig Anderson's Tube-Sound Fuzz circuit/ Red Llama circuit Those two mentioned are two pot design, this seems to have an extra transistor (N channel FET 2N5458) and third pot so I’m guessing this is an extra gain stage? but haven't reversed Engineered the circuit. Pots are marked Vol and Lo , third pot has no label. If you are into DIY FX pedals and/or electronics, this would be an easy fix/repair or mod. Probably a nice sounding pedal, I had a Red Llama clone for a while and it was a great fuzz for bass and guitar I understand Piggy FX is genuine company still building effects, build quality on this seems decent. Comes with the four base plate screws.

Stunning bass! Shame you're not in the UK.

Apologies for the delayed reply. It's the modern 1.625”. Additonally the hole on the board has been repaired making this a bit of a bargain, Fender Neck, EMG Geezers and under 8lbs

It is stunning in every way! Possibly, I did buy it used in excellent condition. It really is a beauty and the best 5 string I've ever owned, having owned many.

I had the stereo and sold it. Regretted it and bought the mono. It really is the Swiss Army knife of amp world. I’ve got a Markbass Evo 1 to try out at the moment which basically, has the Multiamp amps and effects but has two independent channels, which is exactly what I need. I think it’s what I’ve been looking for, for a long time 😁

One of the newer Classic Vibes. Upgraded pups/loom, bridge and black plate. Not weighed it but I’d say it’s less than 9lb. I can leave the straplocks on or put the original pins back on. I do not have any of the other original parts. In pretty good condition, I’ve tried to photograph any damage I can see. The back of the neck is lightly sanded, which improves it in my opinion. It’s a really nice bass in one of my favourite colour schemes but something has cropped up that I’ve got my eye on. Collection from Blackburn Lancs is preferable but buyer can arrange a courier at their expense and I’ll add a beat up Gator case that is functional for shipping and gigging but has some issues.

Something I was putting together as a backup but ended up with something else…… Slab Precision 66 type body. The paint is thin and not the best finish but not embarrassing. I didn’t paint it, it was like that when I bought it from here. It’s fine when it’s dressed up though. The neck pocket is bit oversized but when I fitted the neck (that I bought from here separately) , the holes lined up perfectly. I presume they are drilled for a standard Fender neck fitting. The neck is quite nice. It has Fender decals but it’s not a Fender. The decals have also been lacquered over. It has black Schaller tuners and a Geddy Lee neck plate. I think someone was building a Geddy at some point. The pups are Fender. They came out of a Mex Deluxe I believe. i was going to change the harness as it sometimes makes a crackle noise, not all the time, just now and again. Never got round to it as it’s so infrequent. Plays well enough and the neck is quite skinny. I haven’t weighed it but I would say it’s between 8-8 1/2 pounds. It could be a lot nicer with a bit of tlc but I’m not going to use it now and thought I may as well pass it on to someone. Collection and trial much preferred but I will post if the buyer arranges their own courier.

£50 price reduction Trades - X Touch Universal. Try me with anything, I can only say no 😁 Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Chrome hardware and a vintage sunburst finish. Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and a basswood body. A retro instrument with a modern twist."

cheers Mark , it’s lovely just needs playing

Meh go on then 😂

Price drop to £1000 Collection only

Thanks Ash, good info. I haven't given it much of a chance with the Precision incoming. If it doesn't sell its not a disaster and I'll revisit at some point!
