I'm regrettably putting my beautiful VJ5 up for sale. These have a great reputation for build quality and playability, and this one is no exception. I'm a very discerning player especially with 5 strings, this one is even all over, possibly the fastest neck you'll play and super low action. When I acquired it it needed some fretwork sorting on the treble side, the string was choking slightly throughout the first 4 frets, I've just had the fretwork levelled re crowned, I also gather it had a new pot and service to the electronics before I got my hands on it. It's simply been played a lot (rightly so), and has had all the wear and tear put right and ready for years of more low end enjoyment! The only reason I'm selling is because I'm going through 5 strings at the moment, and have found something more in-line with where my ears are at right now, I had no intention of selling this but have just done a deal so this needs to go, ideally to a good home as it deserves to be played. I've had lots of great basses and this is one of them. Nordstrand pups and pre swapped out for Aguilar sometime in its history. It sounds great in the mix. A great show/noisy environment bass as it's totally silent in any setting, it retains that jazz bass growl and fundamental in context, but has an almost dare I say, Ken Smith, quality about the tone too, in the top end. I'm away from home until Thursday, I'll upload more pictures then, and will get my digital luggage scales out too. Specs: Body: Ash Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Maple Scale length: 34.5" Weight: TBC - it's very light, high 8/low 9's lbs Pickups: Agular Super Double Preamp: Aguilar OBP-3 18V Controls: Vol. Pan. Bass. Mid. Treble. Active/Passive switch. Mid pot push/pull mid freq select. Knobs: Turned maple Condition wise it's in great condition. Played but looked after! A couple of marks in the lacquer in the usual places, there's a piece of lacquer that is loose near the top strap button, easy enough to fix if you wanted to, but really not noticeable in practice. I'll add photos when I get back to it. A great bass at a great price, AFAIK Carey doesn't build basses anymore, at least it's not something he pushes, and this is a good a bass as you could ask for. I always liked the subtle and classy looks of this one too. Any questions at all please ask. NO TRADES please, I need the sale as already swapped this out for something I want to try. Thanks

For sale this beautiful Merlos Standard Deluxe bass, made by Spanish Luthier José Meros. I don't use it so much since i got my Alembic. It has a maple body, walnut top and a maple neck. Pickups are custom made my Merlos himself, as is the preamp. Necktrough construction and only 3.75 kg! It has some dings on the body and headstock, but nothing that effects playability. It is a sign that the bass sounds and plays good! Electronics work as they should, frets are good and neck is straight. Comes with gigbag and can be shipped. Newprice is €2799, my price is €1050 including shipping.

Well, it's been a crazy end to the year, where once again business has been hit, so I'm selling this beauty of a bass.... a G&L L2000 CLF USA in black plus case and case candy. Stunning looking and stunning feeling bass. So slick, and well finished. Real craftsmanship. Very easy to play, and very responsive. The tones for these are unreal !! Everything from P bass style, J bass style, Stingray and anything inbetween. However it has it's own personality, and its signature tone is like the best 3d sound ever, like a high end slap sound, but achieved by just playing finger style. It has 3 position switches - front pick up, back pick up, both. 2 selector switches for pick ups - parallel and series. 3 position switch for passive, active and active treble boost. And an overall volume, bass and treble control. Also, each pickup pole is adjustable via allen key, so you can literally custom this bass to a mm of its life! The tribute series of this bass are brilliant, then theres the higher end usa versions which are better..... then theres this - the clf. Excellent condition, just a tiny mark on the head that you wouldnt even notice. Pick up only Leyland Lancashire.

I have played many, many nice basses. I have owned many nice basses. I once bought a 6 string version of this. It was sublime. But it made my head go mushy. I sold it. However, I did promise myself to buy a 5 string when one appeared. Between this appearing and selling the original 6, another 6 appeared. I was ashamed that I did not actually practice on the original 6 so bought the 2nd 6. The original 6 was set up by Overwater. It was sublime. I had the 2nd 6 set up locally and it was just not right. I wanted to send it to OW but Covid, so I gave up on it. Then this appeared. I had it. It did all I expected it to. If it was made in the US we would be laying eggs with excitement about them. Then OW got in touch with me and said they would take my 2nd 6 in and make it lush. Change preamp to OW instead of what someone had put in, new pickups (one was only operating half a coil - or something technical) , set up bottom F# to G. Yummy. I am going to practice and make it work. This leaves me with 2 OW monster basses. This is a definitive 1st world problem. If this was the only OW I had I would keep it. A multi laminate, through neck 36" scale makes B strings do delicious things. However, I do not need 2 of them. And lockdown has increased my stock of basses and something has to give. It is whisper quiet. Wenge facings (I think). It sounds just right. There are a few dings on it (as shown). But it is a BEAST. The price is firm and includes shipping in a HSC (not original - Yamaha as it happens). Price includes shipping. No trades, no offers. But thanks for thinking about them. Worth it, you know you are.

In great condition no dings or dents. In semi hard case.Collection or meet, I
