Thank you. Yes, i feel it's a good price for an instrument of this pedigree and versatility

I’ve had a US 55/94 and it was great no doubt, but these are easily 90% of the way there, there’s an awfully large premium on the 55/94’s when the electronics are identical so they sound no different, the difference is the neck. The U.S. Lakland necks are really amazing, but they’re not worth and extra 2-3 grand - I think it says more about how good the Skylines are than anything negative about the U.S. ones.

Thank you @Beedster I'll measure up the car boot and give it some serious thought!

Squier Vintage Modified active Jaguar 5 string bass The previous owner did the following: Fender USA Hi-Mass bridge (will also come with the original bent piece of metal) Fender USA Noiseless Jazz pickup I understand the Precision pickup is a Fender USA one but don't know which one. Fender USA neck plate. I removed the Fender USA decal from the headstock and just stuck a skull/wings decal with my year of birth. I also stuck some red tortoiseshell vinyl over the black scratch plate.

Dunlop Cry Baby 105Q Bass Wah Bought a few months ago (on ebay for £105) for a band that didn't happen and it's just sitting here and I need the money.

I love my 55-02 but I always take a look when they come up on here. One day, when the missus isn't looking, I'll just blow some big cash on a US made one. Good luck with the sale!

Adding photos to show back and tiny knocks on the front.

Picked this up from here last year and it's had very little play since. Looks great on the wall mind! With a small baby in the flat, 3 four string basses is probably excessive since I don't get the time. It is a Yamaha BB414. Nice slim neck, plays great and sounds great too. It's had the hardware changed to gold and the pickup surround has been sprayed gold. Think the fact it's a matte finish stops it being too flashy. Had a bit of wear on the back from previous owners but the front is in very good condition. Currently strung with reasonably new light rounds (no idea of brand/gauge) I'll try and source a box across the next few days but collection/meet up would be handy.

Which pickups are in it? One pic shows EMG and in the others EMGx.

That's a very nice example of a rare bass, and I would say a very good price. Fwiw there are MIJ Washburn & Daion/Yamaki - specific FB groups where there might be significant interest in something like this. GLWTS!

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. I’ll throw in an old Gator case to ship it in. It’s seen better days so don’t think you are getting a posh new one 🤣 It’s a freebie!
