Now sold I bought this a little while ago to satisfy my craving for a guitar with a good range of tonal options, including an acoustic tone. As things have turned out, I’ve carried on using my Roland GR55 live and my actual acoustic at home so I’ve ended up not using this anywhere as much as it deserves. The colour is Peacock Blue. Comes with a nice hard case and there isn’t a mark on the guitar - it is absolutely pristine. Available to try in sunny Lincolnshire or I can travel to meet/deliver - PM for details. I don’t have suitable packing so I’d really rather not post but if there’s no other option, let me know and I’ll get some quotes. Shipping would be at the buyer’s expense, to UK addresses only and to established Guitarchat or Basschat members. I’ll get some photographs in the next day or so. In the meantime, here’s a stock photo of the model in question… And a video of (a brown) one in action…. As promised, some pictures… Any questions, please PM me.

Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe Active/Passive 2016 MIM. This bass is very similar to the USA Jazz bass Elite (with same pick-ups etc) but from the Fender Mexico factory & a fraction of the cost. Near perfect condition with only a very slight scratch on the top horn & a very slight mark on top edge of headstock. (hardly visible) Home use mainly, kept in it's gig bag hence hardly any fret wear etc Great to play and very versatile tones from the passive and active noiseless pick-ups. Reason for Sale: I’m after another bass in here and I need to free up some funds! Feel free to ask questions etc. If you are collecting you are welcome to check the bass over at time of collection. I can post insured but at buyers cost and risk.

Another lockdown purchase. It's never been out of the house and I've maybe spent a couple of hours playing it in total. What I did do when I got it was to set it up properly, including filing the nut down slightly. I didn't take it too far down in case I went too far but the action is pretty low for me and I'm a fairly heavy player. It's fitted with my usual D'addario EXL165 strings ( I think 🤔) They could possibly be Fender nickels in which case they will be 7150Ms as the green ball end on the G looks more like the Fender seafoam green than the D'addario Green. Come with Entwistle PBXN & JBXN pickups which are the super hot and gnarly neodymium pickups. They have individually adjustable poles which you don't see that often for maximum adjustability. Think more along the lines of Tony Franklin than Jaco. The bridge has threaded saddles which look like they could be brass and are a nice touch. The body is made of Okoume which is a hardwood found in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea which is interesting as I ship goods to both countries and didn't know this untill I googled it today. The fingerboard is lignum-rosa. I have no idea what this is or where it's from but looks much like dark rosewood but feels closer to ebony. The neck is maple - I know what maple is so that's one out of 3 😁 It's an unlined board with dots where the frets would be. The nut width is 42mm but is it incredibly shallow so it's still a really quick neck. Using the weighing myself on the scales and then holding the bass method the bass is coming in at a decent 8.9lbs or 3.81kgs in today's money. Alas, after many, many fretless basses I have to admit that I'm just not a fretless player. Not that I can't play it but I'm more of a clanky frets than mwahy fretless player . I still have the original boxes that it came in - the bass box plus the outer box that they also come in to offer additional protection so postage isn't going to be an issue. Postage to mainland UK will be £35 with UPS, Parcelforce 48 is £20 and if you're a gambling man (or woman) Hermes' "chuck it across the fence" service is £26. Collection is also welcome. I haven't boxed it up yet in case anyone wants more pictures

Purchased this last year, had lots of fun with it but have my eye on something new. Just been restrung with a set of regular slinky's. Also I have replaced the saddle height adjustment screws. The originals had siezed (a fault with the relicing process which Limelight have now changed). The new ones are hex rather than slotted, so not period but much easier to use - but can give you the size details if you want to change them back! I asked Mark about this history of the bass a while ago and he said the following: Limelight 00137 is quite an early one - the 37th one made in fact, and finished in october 2014. Ordered as a 1960 Stack Knob Jazz in Orange over white with a Jazz width maple neck (Not actually an option in 1960 but it was common for necks to be switched). This build was ordered with the earth strip from bridge to bridge PU, but without mute holes, and no hootenanny button either. Also requested for the thumb rest to be in the upper position above the E string (Fender moved it to this position in 1974, before then it was below the G). Also had the later (1968 onwards) barrel saddles bridge instead of the threaded bridge. There are some nice pics of it on their website here: https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/limelight-custom-00137-j-bass/ Weighs in at 4.4kg (9lb 12oz) Would much prefer collection from Chelmsford or local meet up, but may post at buyers risk and expense. Any questions let me know!

This is an original Chapman MLB1 Bass Guitar. It is a 34" scale, 'thru neck"construction with a 5 piece maple and wenge wood neck, an 8"radius wenge wood fret board and a bubinga wood body. It has the original Chapman "Bass bucker" pick ups that can be coil tapped. It's only been used in rehearsal and has been well looked after and is currently strung with new Dunlop super bright strings . There are some superficial marks on the underside as seen in the pictures. It also comes with the original gig bag. Any questions feel free to ask. I can post it insured but only at buyers cost and risk.
