For sale only: Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision Bass £275 posted. Update: now sold All the specs are here: https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/squier-electric-basses/precision-bass/classic-vibe-60s-precision-bass/0374510500.html?rl=en_US Body: Poplar Fingerboard: Indian Laurel Nut width: 1.685" (42.8mm) Weight: about 3.5kg (7lb 12oz). The bridge is a replacement. The tuners have been replaced with Hipshot Licensed Ultralites (worth £64). Photos show only three strings, but bass has since been restrung with a new set of Adagio flats.

Up for sale is my 1979 Kramer DMZ4001 aluminium necked bass in really good condition for its year with just a few bits of surface lacquer wear in the usual places. These have a reputation for 2 things; clean, pure tones and being a boat anchor. Mine weighs in at a very reasonable 4.8kg and has no neck dive, partly because the badass 1 bridge (now a rarity in itself), helps the balance so part 2 of their reputation isn’t really true. However the other is true. It has the cleanest, deepest, most resonant and ringing E tone I think I’ve ever heard. It beats the modulus and status basses I owned for ringing, clear tone all the way up the neck. It sounds fantastic and plays really well too with a reasonably low action, no buzz and certainly no dead spots from the aluminium neck / Ebanol board. This model is passive, has the famed Dimarzio Dual Coil P bass pickup on board with volume / tone and a single switch for coil tapping (I think). The switch effectively is a bass cut / boost and when boosted it sounds amazing. Worth adding that the neck is a svelte 39mm at the nut and I just noticed it’s got a zero fret! It really has very little fret wear having had just one owner prior to me who played it for 4 years in a country band and then, due to musical differences, gave up and stored it. As ever, I’m hankering after something else so last in first out unfortunately. If anyone wants to trade a Mesa Boogie 400 / 400+ or an Ampeg SVT 2 / 2 pro then that’s what I’d be after in trade otherwise it’s a straight sale. It has a “vintage” case which is tatty but does protect it - not that it needs protecting. It’s that tough that even ParcelForce couldn’t harm it....... Im on the Wirral but will post it or can meet up or deliver within a reasonable distance (up to 75 miles ish....) Thanks for looking.

OPEN TO OFFERS !! Decided to see if anyone would be interested in my Tokai Hard Puncher. It’s been played a lot !! So signs of wear and tear but still has plenty of life left in it, Frets in very good shape. Plays and sounds as good as It looks, it really does sound huge !! Nice chunky neck as well Unfortunately the decal has worn off which is a shame but obviously doesn’t effect the playability or sound in anyway. Based in Peterborough

These instruments were made in Japan alongside the legendary JV range and to the same high standard. They didn’t have the vintage features of the JV models but are well respected instruments nonetheless. Don’t confuse the SQ models with the ‘beginners market’ Squiers of later years, these are up there with the best US made instruments and are becoming sought after now JV models have started to attract big money. The necks are particularly wonderful. This one is in excellent condition, only a few minor marks and scuffs. The neck is immaculate, the hardware and pickups are like new. It sounds like a Precision ought to! All original and weighs 4kgs. New Rotos 40-100s great balance. An excellent vintage bass at an affordable price. A recent purchase but I need to raise some cash fairly urgently, last in first out. It comes with a heavy, rather tatty but functional aluminium flight case. No trades, sorry. I’d prefer pickup in person as I only have the case to post it in, however if you want it posting in the U.K. I can look into it at your cost. If you want Fender flats on it rather than Rotos I can restring it. Thanks!

PRICE LOWERED TO £ 1000 + shipment Up for sale my NS Design Cr4 Radius fretless bass. As many of you may certainly know, NS Design is the last creature born from Ned Steinberger's fertile mind. These instruments show many of the technical innovations that Steinberger introduced in his products since the 80's. Gone are the rectangular shaped plastic made basses of his early years, now all the Steinberger-designed instruments are made of lightweight woods but coupled with headless design, quick mount bridge/tuners, active electronics with EMG and piezo pickups. This particular model is the top of the range in the Electric Bass production of NS Design, and is built in the Czech Republic (whereas the cheaper WAV models are made in Korea). It was an early production model, with 2xx serial number, probably made around 2015. The active circuitry includes two especially designed EMG X pickups and a piezo into the bridge. The controls are Master Volume, EMG/Piezo balance, Treble and Bass EQ, with two 3-position switches for the EMG pickup selector (Neck / Both / Bridge) and the Piezo pickup equalization (Bass boost / Standard / Treble boost). The circuit is supplied by two 9V batteries. The body has a particular curved shape, which allows a perfect contact to the player's body on the back and an excellent ease of play on the front. It's made of maple with flame top. The colour is Charcoal Satin, which is a dark grey. The bolt-on neck is made of maple with carbon fibre core and an ebony fretboard. The newly designed bridge/tuning assembly allows for a very quick change of the strings. By the way, the bass uses standard (single ball end) strings. Dimensions (data taken from NS Design site) are: Overall Length 41.5", Body Length 20.8", Neck Scale 34", Neck Radius 15", Bridge Spacing 19mm, Nut Width 1.60", 12th Fret Width 2.19". The bass has been professionally defretted by the original owner, has a medium low action and is currently strung with roundwound strings (a set of little used flatwounds is supplied) with minimal fretboard wear. The truss rod works perfectly. The instrument is very light (just 3.6 Kg) and perfectly balanced. It's a pleasure to play, being very compact and well shaped. The average price of this model is over £2000, I'm selling it at a much lower price due to the fact that it has been defretted (but very easy to restore to the original fretted state if desired). I'm only selling it because I have far too many instruments and I stopped playing due to the pandemic and don't know if I'll start again. The instrument was bought from the original owner (I was the second owner) and only has some light marks and dents. The previous owner only used for home recordings, since I bought it it has never left my home, so it has virtually never gigged. The original gigbag is supplied along with the user's manual and Allen keys. You can find many videos around showing how these basses play. I'm sorry I can't supply any recordings. The bass is located in Italy. Shipped with courier to EU destinations, the price is around Eur.50 but ask for confirmation. I can also ship to UK buyers, but please notice that there will surely be customs charges for you to pay. GBP 1200 / EUR 1400 GBP 1100 / EUR 1280 LAST PRICE REDUCTION: GBP 1000 / EUR 1160 + shipment Payment with Bank transfer only, no Paypal. No trades, please. For any other information, please ask.

*** Now Traded *** Hi Folks Up for sale for £TRADED or near offer is this fabulous Rolls-Royce of a bass amp that I bought from Chris aka @Beedster last year after the first Lockdown. It's a Mesa Boogie Titan Big Block v12, housed in a fantastic Bronco case, and it comes with the incredibly useful 5-button footswitch. Basically, it's a dual-channel, tube/MOSFET hybrid 1200 watt monster of a bass amp that sounds amazing and is in fantastic condition and in full working order. I guess if you're reading this, then you'll have some idea of what this amp is capable of, but just in case, here's a link to all the tech spec for it. https://www.mesaboogie.com/support/out-of-production/titan.html And here's a link to Chris's For Sale ad from last year.. And a link to the earlier 2019 For Sale ad from when Chris bought it... "Why are you selling?" I hear you ask, which is a good question given how great this amp is. And the answer is simply that I'm not in a band at the moment since moving from West Sussex to Bedfordshire.. As such, my prospects of gigging are practically zero at the moment.. Plus if and when that happens, I have an Ashdown CTM100 and a Hughes & Kettner Bassbase 600 to keep me going. So here it is, a fantastic Titan v12 looking for a new home and some purposeful and regular high volume usage! 😁 Try out welcome in Potton, Central East Bedfordshire which is about 10 miles east of Bedford and 4 miles from the Beds/Cambridgeshire border. Tea & biccies available as is customary in these circles.. At this moment in time, I would much prefer collection only. But if shipping is the only option, then I could perhaps be persuaded to take the risk at buyers expense and only if its fully insured. If you have any questions, ask away here or send me a PM. Photos below where the Titan can be seen looking mean & moody atop my SWR Triad cab and next to my G&L SB1 (both of which aren't for sale). Thanks for looking as ever... 😊 Nik

I bought this recently from the original owner and it is a lovey bass in perfect condition - however, I am running out of space and trying to cut down to a core of 3 or 4 Fenders, so this one has to go. Standard 34” scale, active pre-amp, a bass which sounds as good as it looks, but I must sell before I get used to it! The price included the Ibanez standard case for the Premium range, a semi hard case. Even the original booklet is included. I paid £600.00 collected from the buyer and will sell for the same. Whoever buys this will not regret it (unless they are as tight for space as I am!)

Got a trade pending with @walshy for his Nate Mendel.

Thanks @Hellzero very much appreciate the heads up and the sentiment there. I was looking for one but having just bought a Mesa Subway ri gat over £3k i can't really justify a new bass as well. Lovely looking bass too but GLWTS. They are becoming quite rare and hard to find. Think your pricing is fair and i would have definitely taken it at that price. Dave

Tbh I think your price is fair and about right 👍...there's some really stupidly priced stuff out there , and it's easy to get carried away with what people are asking on ebay, bearing in mind much of it will never sell for the money they're wanting ! I remember at the time these came out, some people were very disparaging and spouted all sorts of rubbish about how an aluminium neck was no good, blah blah, they were a "love it or hate it" thing certainly !... I thought they were great, and it's good to see one again, hopefully someone will grab it and give it a good home !

Get thee behind me Satan

Ah wow, it’s like the one I had, just not messed with. Great basses.
