I love the almost (?) parallel neck/fingerboard. Reminds me of the Aria SB1000. I wish more basses were like this. GLWTS

Dear Basschatters, Here I have a Herb Gastelum 1988 precision 44mm bass neck with original tuners and hootenanny button. I have had it looked at recently by a local luthier who has told me that it would need a new fretboard to be in functioning condition. He showed me a scan of the neck and there is a ramp at the heel. The fretboard is quite thin and the frets, although in brilliant condition, are quite short frets to begin with. So the only way of having the neck in working condition would be to get a new freboard and to have the neck wood sanded to level it out. There is also an amount of lacquer missing on the back evenly across the neck where it looks as though someone has taken the lacquer off to identify a place on the fingerboard or has had the neck resting against an amp in the same place or something like that. It's perfectly comfortable but someone may want to sort the finish out. I have a couple of Herb G necks and they are absolutely fantastic so I know if someone wanted to take the project on that it would be well worth it to restore the neck. As it happens I have no idea what it's currently worth but I would love for it to go to someone who likes a project as I have too many basses to be working on currently. Please feel free to send me any offers or questions! Best wishes, Sam

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.

Moog Minitaur Bass Synth Module This is the up to date v 2.2 edition, comes complete with box, PSU and manuals. Lovely two oscillator synth specifically voiced for bass but can produce lead sounds too. The ladder filter is classic Moog with weight and width to the oscillators. It is a US made synth - Moog has since changed ownership and now mainly manufactured in the far east. The Minitaur is well constructed in a pressed steel case with nice positive action on all buttons and knobs. It is based on the classic Moog Taurus bass pedals of the 70’s as used by Rush, Genesis, Yes and more. All works as it ought to with plenty of control via the front panel, also presets and the ability to hook up to a computer and fine tweak sounds via free Moog software. The module is in excellent condition albeit with some cosmetic ‘rack rash’ on the sides of the unit. UK only, I’d prefer pick up in person but can post at buyer’s expense.

I had a 6 string Lightwave fretless for all of about 4 days before I traded it for a 9 string fretted ACG with @7string about 400 years ago... I'm not a fretless player, but I remember thinking it was an excellent bass and tempted for a few scary moments about keeping it! T'were it a fretted, it may have remained with me as the ACG has. This is a very good price for an excellent and quite unique thing!

Given the nature of the Bird... I'd prefer collection/Delivery but well packaged and very insured postage is possible. This one has been my gateway drug, and before i knew it i've bought myself an old single pickup model. It's in mint condition, and comes with a great padded gigbag. Pretty light at 3.8 kg, and personally I haven't had an issue with neck dive as these sometimes suffer from. These are proper neck-through models like the originals. As always please hit me up with questions/photo requests! .

These are excellent cases, I have two of them and they fit my basses well, are tough and have handles/straps in all the the right places.

Lovely, assuming it is passive VVT ?

For sale is this MM style 4-conductor pickup that came out of a DiMavery MM-501 bass. Not sure who makes them but I think it's a ceramic magnet. It sounded fine in the bass but I wanted to put an AlNiCo pickup in the bass. £20 posted to UK mainland. Here are the pics:

Hi Gary. Just sent you a PM...

@GBH I can confirm they are indeed 8 ohm each
