Stunning 20th av Stingray for sale. This one has beautifully rich quilted maple top with a Birdseye maple neck that is to die for. Neck is quite shallow in profile and the satin finish makes it lightening fast to get around. Overall condition is very good. Plays perfectly and buzz free with low action. Frets are perfect as are all electronics. Condition is great. It’s been very well looked after. No nicks or anything through the finish. I think a tiny mark was touched up on the back (see pic 5, just below neck plate)and possibly another on the lower bout. This work was done by a professional. The bout is perfect with no sign of ever being nicked but there is a hint of gold in the undercoat on one tiny area. You can see this in pic 6. Only other point of note is a 1 cm line in the outer lacquer under the neck joint (barely visible pic 9) These things are so minor that I’m not sure did it come from the factory like this or as I said “touched up by a pro” It comes with the original Musicman case which is perfect except for a crack in one of the corners. Weight is about average at 9.4lbs This is one of the best examples I’ve seen of these now rare basses. Note: some of the pictures make it seem lighter in colour than it actually is. I can deliver this in person to London for £50 extra this eliminates customs and import taxes Thanksi

Or 6500€ Alembic Mark King Signature Deluxe 5 string with LED Bass is from December 2015. Spec as follows: 34" - 24 fret - 19 mm string spacing. Neck of Maple and Purple Heart Ebony fingerboard with Abalone inlays Mahogny body with laminated Maple & Purple Heart Cocobole top and back Weight: 5.7 kg - sounds alot but if you can carry an old Musicman or Fender Roscoe Beck/ Warwick Thumb / Peavey T40 you`re fine. Approx. 1kg of this is actually due to the 4 ea. 9v batteries for the Led`s and the brass covers on the rear. Sure you can get a Luthier to make something lighter if required, or get Alembic to make wooden covers (known option). Volume, blend, 2x filters with Q switches. Leds in the neck with switch 95% as new with only slight discoloration of parts of the brass bridge Original case in as new condition Latest list price: 18.000 USD, Add import Tax and VAT on top of that to get it into Europe/UK. Instruments from this brand provides a truely unique life experience of "Before & After". Before - you may wonder what the fuzz is about and whether they are really worth the money. After - all that's left to say is a capital YES! The closest thing to a Steinway Grand Piano I have ever heard from a bass in terms of evenness in volume across the neck, clarity and complexity of the note in which the different wood, strings, hardware and plugging technique all blend into a note that rings with authority, and forever.And an Alembic is not only about a treble hifi sound. It can sound equally powerful like the voice of God with a bad hangover. How this bass sounds: https://youtu.be/i0OCKOeYO3c Selling as I play way too little to have something as this just resting in its case. I can take a 5 string bass in trade plus money. Shipping will likely be expensive due to insurance. For those living in central Europe, I'm willing to meet somewhere in germany for a personal handover which is included in the price (deposit required).

Built this up when I was on my P bass quest and it barely missed out on my number one spot for my go to P bass. I've gone with my Am. Perf. PJ as a slightly more versatile bass, but this P bass oozes vintage yet with a modern flair with the 2021 American Pro (Version I) neck that gets you carbon reinforcement rods, rolled fretboard edges and the new tapered shaft tuners. It's got that Pino Palladino vibe in loads....at a fraction of the price. The body is form NW guitars (American Alder) and is painted with 2 light coats of NW guitar fiesta red nitro over a nitro white primer. Although currently pristine, this bass will certainly "mojify" with use as the instruments of old have since it's done with a light nitro spray. The neck also received a vintage amber nitro coat. One thing to mention is that when I used the dremel to notch out the body and scratch plate for the truss rod tool access, I slightly missed the alignment, so it's slightly off center, only noticable if you really look closely and does not affect using a truss rod tool. And, by the way, I can include an original Fender truss rod tool with the bass. Weighs in at 4.02 kg (8.86ibs.) It's wired with a custom harness to these specs: Matched CTS USA Custom Audio Taper 250K Split Shaft Volume & Tone Potentiometers - smooth linear volume and tone change (no bunching or on/off effect) 0.022uF Sprague "Orange Drop" Tone Capacitor - removes the thinness and harshness inherent with budget capacitors Quality Jack Socket And the pick ups are '63 Fender Pure Vintage. The bridge is from an American Performer and the cavities are shielded. Strung with d'Addario Chrome flats. I use a spacer usually with Chromes as the silks are longer than other strings, hence why on the E string you see a spacer....it's to keep the silk off the saddle. All my d'Addario equipped basses have these spacers. Happy to meet near the coast (Lymington) or London area. Happy to ship within the UK as well.

I'm selling my Ibanez semi-acoustic, it's vintage inspired, very light and sounds huge. Only selling as I'm trying to free up some funds. It has recently been professionally set up with a new set of labella flats and comes with a protection racket case (£100-£150 new). Both the bass and case are in excellent condition. Collection only. Now sold.

Up for sale is my Yamaha BB614. It was de-fretted by the previous owner and has since been professionally set up (currently strung with Thomastik flats). Plays and feels really nice. Only selling as I'm upgrading. It is a little road worn (see pics) but it's a very well made bass for the money. Would make a great bass if you fancy getting into fretless playing.

https://imgur.com/a/I7hv3WV Absolutely stunning all original Hofner Senator Bass, made in 1965 in the German factory. This is the real deal, and sounds sublime. That wonderful honky low end attack...play with a pick and mute with your palm, you'd struggle to find a better recorded bass tone!! You see so many of these without the original pickguard, but not this one, it's all there. Has just been set up by pro luthier so intonation is spot on, plays like a dream. Electronics are all good too, ready to rock. At present there is no case with it, so a handover near Oxfordshire or London is preferable. But if a serious buyer wanted to source a hard case I am not averse to shipping. Thanks for reading

My lovely Special is now up for sale as since I’ve had my 74 P I’ve barely touched it and it’s way too good to be a wall decoration. I’ve had the bass from new in late 2018. For full disclosure the body was replaced by Ernie Ball USA last year due to the previous having an ‘ash bora beetle’ infestation. Turns out there was a few basses affected by this infamous little bug that had a penchant for a specific type of ash. Ernie Ball were truly amazing in sorting everything out, excellent customer service throughout. The whole bass was then checked over and set up with the new body by UK Ernie Ball reps and as such the body really remains pristine. It will come with the correct D-tuner (cost me £120), Musicman original case and the case candy + original tuner. Plays amazingly, lots of tonal versatility from the 18v preamp. There’s a small dink on the head stock and a tiny spot on neck (see pics), otherwise in excellent condition. The Om transfer on the pickguard is easily removable if so desired. Being the special it’s a lightweight bass in comparison to its predecessors, I think 8.5lbs from memory. Also I don’t think they do the Aqua sparkle colour anymore so here’s a chance to get ‘the one’. It’s a proper funk machine and by far the best Stingray I have owned. Looking for £1650 collected, willing to work with buyer on courier options but buyer will be responsible for costs/insurance. *Possible trades but will need at least £1k cash my way - lightweight jazz bass (under 8.5lbs), Barefaced One ten, Sterling Ray 34 or similar, Sub stingray, either US or the recent cheaper ones.
