Music Man Sterling Classic 4 in great condition complete with original Musc Man hard case........ Free Postage if needed (UPS Next Day.... not Hermes). The body at the neck pocket is dated Apr 2011. Lovely gloss ash body with a great grain and the neck is a great gloss 'birdseye' maple (see pics) and a rosewood neck. Please excuse the reflections in the pics, but it's a nightmare to photo in bright sunlight. For the weight fans..... it weighs in at 8lbs 14 oz or a smidge over 4kg. Don't see many of these around for whatever reason but I believe it was discontinued, so no idea if it's even reasonably priced, although the last one I saw for sale (in here) was at a higher price. I've had this a while now but never used it really and never been used at a gig, but having said that I'm still in two minds about selling it. I'm more of a passive Precision type these days so it seems a waste to have it sat there doing nothing when someone else could likely benefit from it. It's had a nut replacement in the past to a bone nutn and ot long ago set up with Rotosound 100-40 Stainless Steel Rounds fitted. These are a bit different to the usual MM Sterlings in that it doesn't have the selector switch or control plate and is based more along the lines of 'old style' models being 2EQ with the controls being Vol-Treb-Bass but with no centre detents. Maybe better off watching these reviews of it:

Hi! I have for sale a very nice bass like new condition that was used only in house. I got it here locally from original buyer and the bass plays like a dream. Has 34" scale, 19" space strings, 3.9 kg., swamp ash body, pao ferro fingerboard, NT maple neck, spalted maple top, marleaux bridge, schaller tuners. Comes with case and price is 2399 euro + shipping. No trades!

Now £2100 Much as I love this, I just find that I'm focusing on my 5 strings - and I also need to raise some funds. This is by far the greatest 6 string I've ever come across, very easy to play (I have small hands and never had any problems with this, unlike some other 6ers I've had) and sounds amazing. Currently strung E-F but will happily restring it for anyone who wants it B-C instead. Would prefer a sale but will always consider trades, vintage stuff probably more likely to succeed but I have strange tastes so always worth an ask! Also play 6 string guitar if that helps. Shipping within the UK is possible at extra cost but would greatly prefer collection from high Wycombe, London or pre-agreed mutually convenient location. Full spec below, copied from bipbip62's (who I got it from in the first place) original advert on here: The specifications : 32 3/9 " scale (as wanted by Jonas HELLBORG). 26 frets with zero fret. 1.5 mm action under the C string up to 2 mm under the B string 14 mm strings spacing at the Status Electro bridge (as wanted by Jonas HELLBORG himself). 8 mm at the graphite nut. 1 double action truss rod (beware as it's a typical English left screwing model). 3 bass Gotoh tuners on the bass side + 3 guitar Gotoh tuners on the treble side. Woven graphite neck with Rosewood fretboard. The semi-solid body with a single 'F' hole has a double size two-piece mahogany back with a red coloured veneer and book-matched Rosewood facing. Acoustic chambers are machined into the mahogany before the top is glued on : this allows the body to resonate and create a warmer, more "open" response. 1 Status Hyperactive humbucker really close to the bridge (as wanted by Jonas HELLBORG himself) + 1 piezo pickup under the saddle in the bridge with balance, master volume (20 detent positions), treble cut/boost for magnetic and treble cut/boost for piezo (like on all Electro II series). The Weight: 5.2 kilos . Delivered in original Status gigbag. Equipped with Thomastik JR round wound nickel strings (029 - 043 - 051 - 068 - 089 -118). Satin finish for the body and thick glossy finish for the neck. Delivered to Jonas HELLBORG in November 2001. Set up by Christophe LEDUC (great french luthier). It's the rarest Status bass ever, completely original and never modified. Official price today will be more than £4500 GBP is you can get one made. To add to that last point, I tried to get Rob Green to build me a 5string Electro about 5 years ago - in fact I asked him multiple times over the course of about 3 years - and always got a flat 'no'. I imagine if you're Mark King or that guy from Muse you'd probably get one but otherwise, the Electro seems to be never coming back as a model...

After a long pondering I offer here my ultra rare Don Grosh Jazz Bass in the unique color "Ice Blue Metallic". Don Grosh is known in this country especially for his noble and super-resonant guitars in 7ender style. But every few years there is a "run" of 25 basses, which are then always sold directly. For those who don't know Don Grosh: Don's basses are in a league with the big boutique Jazz Bass builders like Roger Sadowsky, Christian Celinder, Aleš Vychodil, Alleva Coppolo, etc.. This starts with the quality of the woods and goes through the high quality hardware (Lindy Fralin, Aguilar, Hipshot,...) to the absolutely flawless build quality. In my opinion, the 7ender custom store is nowhere near this level with their instruments. Here are the specs: Manufacturer: Don Grosh Guitars (Broomfield Colorado, USA) Model: J4 Body Wood: Alder Finish Type: Aged Satin Lacquer Finish Finish Color: Ice Blue Metallic Neck Wood: Maple, 864 mm / 34" / Longscale Fretboard: Rosewood with 21 Frets Nut Width: 41 mm (Saddle), 57 mm (12th fret) Neck Dots: Aged Vintage Bridge: Gotoh High Mass Bridge 201-B4 Chrome Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite HB6C Pickups: Lindy Fralin Custom Jazz Bass Pickups Electronics: Aguilar OBP-2, 18V Cockpit: Volume / Volume incl. Push-Pull Passive-Active / Treble / Bass Price new: 3.590 EUR The J4 is enormously resonant and already unplugged much louder than other basses. The body is a "modernized" and therefore very comfortable "smooth-J-Style". The neck is kept quite slim and allows for very low string positions - absolutely buzz-free. Sound-wise, I'm really bad at verbal descriptions. But I would say that the J4 delivers the typical J-sounds with an extra portion of definition, enormous dynamics and silky shine. Otherwise just have a look on the World-Wide-Web - there are a few reports. But I'm also happy to send tests and/or soundfiles on request. The bass is absolutely unmodified and in excellent condition. The bass comes with the original case (see pictures). The instrument can be shipped safely packed worldwide. The shipping costs as well as the transport insurance will be paid by the buyer. By the way: Why am I selling such an instrument at all? This is the question I am asking myself right now. But I just can't warm up to Jazz basses and I'm more the Preci type. Therefore, please no trade offers, unless you have a noble P or PJ bass. I would also be interested in a bass with Lollar-TBs like DeGier or Mike Lull. Now the usual terms: This is a private sale of a used product. Therefore I exclude any form of guarantees, warranties or redemptions. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Happy New Year Bassfolks! Up for sale a pristine passive Yamaha 24 fret stealth beauty. Time to offload one of my lockdown projects with the following mods: Removed the matching headstock colour and revarnished/tinted, applied a new Yamaha decal and a couple of additional coats of satin varnish. Don't ask me why, I just have a thing against matching headstocks 🤷‍♂️ Routed to enlarge the rear control cavity (now sporting a new cover) to allow 5 control knobs with a preamped treble-mid-bass-blend-volume setup. I've since removed the preamp for another project and returned this to passive volume/tone pair for each pickup and so one knob is currently unused. During the drilling process I clumsily damaged the lacquer around one of the pots, see pictures. Thankfully it's barely noticeable with the knobs fitted. Removed all the gold plated hardware and replaced with like for like black, with the exception of the neck mounting plate. This thing is lightweight at 3.7kg and super comfortable to play, truss rod works fine and you can get a low action without buzz, and it has a nice crisp piano-like tone unplugged. Pickups are the stock Yamaha passives, I assume single coil. That's all I can think of, feel free to fire questions!

We really should get a “Bass library” going where we can sign them out for a week

Sorry - decided to keep it 2005 Tobias Toby Pro 4 in Violin Sunburst. In 8/10 condition, fitted with brand new Dunlop Superbrights. Wenge/Maple 5 piece neck through with solid flamed maple wings. Has been upgraded with 9v Seymour Duncan STC-3P 3 band preamp (apx £150 new) with EQ contour switch (treble boost but can be altered on internal pots). No access to a scale, but it feels about 7.5lbs and is the lightest bass currently here. Postage available in good condition Gator hardcase for £50 inc shipping. Otherwise collection from Tamworth area (but I will meet up within apx 30 mins drive of M42 J10). No trades please 😊

Sold!

Withdrawn from sale.

This is my used Streamliner that I have gigged about 5 times since I’ve had it. I’m thinning the amount of kit I have so take this opportunity to get an amp that doesn’t come up for sale very often and is now discontinued. It comes with its GB bag and original manual. I have replaced the blue leds that had failed which is a common fault with these amps. This doesn’t affect the workings but I prefer to have everything as it should. I have cleaned the fan and internals. The pots have been cleaned and lubed. Comes with a power lead so all you need to add is a speakon to whatever your cab takes cable. There are some very minor marks on the amp as you would expect from a gigged piece of kit but nothing awful or horrific. The previous owner has scratched a small mark on the surround to some of the pots to show where he liked to have them set but you have to be really up close to see them(see photos) Collection only from Bracknell RG12 or I’m happy to travel to meet at a reasonable distance for the right money. You are welcome to give it a play on pickup. Any questions, please ask. This is the manufacturer blurb; The new Streamliner™ design from Genz Benz is taking the lightweight amp design into a new arena, using the superb class D technology perfected by Genz and combining a new preamp section.. The 300 volt All Tube Class A preamp design is driven by three 12AX7 preamp tubes utilising six gain stages. The preamp design features an intuitive and highly effective tone network which is a unique blend of a modified passive Baxandall network for the bass and treble along with an active tube driven mid filter with selectable mid frequencies. The versatile all tube preamp exudes a fat and rich tone that remains articulate. It can be used to simply add warmth to your natural tone or it can be dialled in to provide a wide range of natural tube overdrive. Along with our preamp design that rivals that of many classic tube amplifiers, the STREAMLINER™ amps also features our proprietary 3 Dimensional Power Management analogue technology. Our 3DPM™ adds heft and girth to each individual note, while enhancing the amplifiers responsiveness and headroom. It provides the dynamic and 3 dimensional tone and feel of an all tube power amp design. With its solid extruded aluminium panels, CNC machined solid billet aluminium faceplate and smooth-radius edges the STREAMLINER™ 900 chassis emanates the ruggedness and strength of a world-class touring machine. This brushed aluminium chassis is finished in an anodised Tungsten finish. The powerhouse behind the Streamliner™ is a Class D amplifier and SMPS module, enhanced with our Patent Pending P.H.A.T. (Proprietary Heat Abatement Technology) topology. This delivers robust and reliable, high output performance in a tremendously compact and convenient package. Simply put, this new design offers a more streamlined approach to finding your voice, yet it still carries forth the GENZ BENZ reputation for performance, reliability and innovation.
