Up for sale my lovely Dingwall Super PJ. It’s a beauty of a bass and has just had the P pick ups replaced FOC by Dingwall via Bass Gallery as well as a top draw set up by D Wilson, if you know you know. Comes with a Mono gig bag only, no hard case so collection would be ideal. I do travel around a fair but with work so a meet up is always possible. No trades as I already have what I want and use 😁

Meridian Aural II SOLD.

Now just £550 for this absolute beast of a bass!!!! Massive price drop to only £575!!!!!! Up for very reluctant sale is my awesome Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor. Extremely well made in Germany in 2005, it has a beautifully figured Ash body and a clean, uncluttered rosewood fretboard, giving the bass an elegant and understated appearance. It's in fantastic condition for a 16 year old instrument, with a few minor drinks and scratches on the body and the expected headstock cymbal nibbles and belt rash on the back (please check the pics). It has had some work done over the years, most noticeably the neck, which has had a reshape and satin refinish (highlighted in the pics). It now is slightly asymmetrical, which was highlighted by Martin at the Bass Gallery when I took it in as the template for my TT4 neck refin. Whoever did the work did a fantastic job, this bass has one of the nicest necks I've ever played, smooth, very comfortable and not fatiguing at all. Additionally, the volume pot has been replaced at some point. These seemed to be a bit of a Sandberg weakness on their earlier basses, it also needed to be changed on my Classic. Other than that, everything else is original, works as it should and sounds immense. The bridge is solid and tuners tight, smooth and hold tune well. The two powerhumbuckers and active 3-band pre-amp offer a load of tonal variation, from a deep smooth low end, to a crisp clear high range. With the addition of a split switch, the bass also gives the option of single coil accents. The bass can also be played in passive mode by pulling the volume pot, bypassing the active circuit and battery. It comes in an as-new Sandberg gig bag, has been cleaned, polished and lemon oiled and is set up with super low action. Weight (on the kitchen scales) is 4.139kg / 9.12lb. Nut - 40mm / 34" Long Scale As always, collection is much preferred from Eastbourne, East Sussex, but I'm willing to ship within the UK at the buyers own arrangement, cost and risk. I don't have a box unfortunately, but will use a load of bubble wrap in the gig back to keep it as safe as possible. Any questions, please let me know and thanks for looking.

*Withdrawn - decided to keep them for the time being and give them another go. Thanks to everyone who got in touch. Here are a matched pair of the remarkable Barefaced ONE10 speakers bought from this forum a few years ago. These were a special order using a coating on the cabs to avoid the peeling tolex that these seem so susceptible to. - I've tried to capture it in the pics. These also have the funky retro silver grill cloth. I am lucky enough to own these and a pair of Bergs and despite the extra size and weight, the Bergs win. As a result these are virtually mint as they have seen about 3 gigs in the few years I've owned them. They come supplied with the Barefaced soft covers too. Happy to split at £300 each (which is what I paid for them) or I'll do the pair for £550. This is a massive saving on the new price (£499 with cover, each!) and thats without the lovely cabinet coating. Here is a review from the Barefaced website, that amusingly I wrote! banging on about how good these things are. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0088/3094/3290/files/BGM-One10-Two10-June2016.pdf?17982888344997180786 Demos very much welcome in London N21 Winchmore Hill. *Edit* Price does not include postage!

Agree and it really is one of the great BC mysteries why it is still available. G&L basses are killer basses. Earlier this year, I bought a used CLF Research L2K and that's already one of my all time fav basses. So, c'mon guys, a US G&L SB-2 in great condition, not too heavy and with an added tone control for £800? What's not to like? I am currently broke but hoping to put some money aside over the next months. So, I may go for it next year if no one else is buying it in the meantime.

Lovely example of a great bass.

:SOLD: 1960 Silvertone 1444 dolphin nose Bass All original Single-coil lipstick pickup, 30” short scale neck, A thick Brazilian rosewood 24 fret fingerboard, Semi-hollow Masonite body, Single 4 post Danelectro "Skate Key" Tuning Machines. These are the ones used on higher-end model guitars from 1958 to 1969. They are in good working order. It even has the headstock logo which is very rare! Retro heaven! Superb playing and sounding very usable bass made by Danelectro for Sears department stores USA. I bought this little beauty for a 1950/60`s theatre show that due to all the Covid shite has been abandoned. It`s far too good to sit around so here it is up for grabs to some lucky person. It`s in lovely condition for a 61yr old instrument. There is one small ingenious mod to the bridge that is easily removed, It just keeps the ball ends in nice and snug to the bridge as shown in pics. This really is a must have for anyone playing Rock and Roll or sixties retro music! Although saying that this little cracker can handle any genre (it even slaps). Comes with an old but non original hard case. Open to sensible offers........

Guitar now SOLD !, 26 Sep 2021 Thanks to all who've expressed interest 😉 Neck date of late Dec 1982 Fender Jazz Bass, 3 Colour Sunburst Finish (62 Vintage Model), serial V003173. Weighs in at 9.5lbs and is in nice condition apart from a few minor lacquer blemishes on the back of the neck. Comes with a hard case (not Fender) and was recently authenticated, tested and valued by Andertons in Guildford where I bought it from in the early 90s. It's hardly been used in the last 20 years due to increasing neuropathy in my left hand 🥵. It's priced to be mid range of the valuation given by Andertons, so no daft low bids please ! Also please expect extra £30+/- for courier to UK or £75 +/- for overseas. This is a private sale.

The one that got away… 20 years I waited. And I got what I deserved. it’s amazing. Rescued from Russia. it has a couple of small marks, and one which has been infilled - I intended to sort but time isn’t on my side. It’s light - 7/7.5lbs. mad stingray/Sterling killer. Tune TXJ-4 (Tune Bass Maniac/Guitar Technology). Something you’ll not see many of - Made in Japan late 1990’s, really well put together, light weight (7.5/8lbs) real Musicman sound without that chunky weight or body. 38mm nut Passive tone bass/treble series/parallel switch active/passive switch Brass nut 24 frets Ash body 3 piece maple neck. Gotoh hardware… Some swirling on body, minor belt rash. Knock near controls, has had a drop fill done - I’ve never got round to making it look better. Also, small knock on fingerboard (treble side, 1st fret, I’ve never felt it when playing) Just a killer bass - the sound can be direct and aggressive or it will happily thicken up with the tone control which works in active or passive mode. Collection preferred. Shipping will be £25 in uk - soft case only.

Thanks for the nice comments. 👍
