SOLD So I've finally decided to sell my little Streamline 4. Bought as a backup because it almost fits in the glove compartment of a car 😂 or for those gigs that we all get sometimes where there's no space to move. In fact, I have gigged this on a very dark stage whilst rammed into a corner behind the PA - the green LEDS are just perfect in this kind of situation. Nothing flashy but very useful for a quick reference. There are the usual minor swirls in the top of the, highly polished, body but no dings that I can see anywhere. Overall in very good condition & certainly not abused in any way. Standard string spacing with bendwell and green wraparound LEDS plus the original style Madarozzo gig bag. I think this specification would come in just below £3,500 now and order times are pretty long. £2,050 including UK shipping. I can ship outside of UK at cost via UPS insured courier.

Beautiful luthier made signature Precision built in 2014, you all know what a great reputation Jon Shuker has and this is a superb example of his work. This comes with Shuker branded Hiscox case, specification list from Shuker, tools and JJ Burnell pick. It also has the signature of both builder and player on the headstock. This model differs from the standard JJ model slightly in that it has all black hardware, single ply scratchplate and ABM bridge. I purchased it from eBay very recently from the original owner, I had everything confirmed by Jon who remembered the bass and the slight changes from stock. It weighs 4.1kgs and has a 44mm nut width, the neck is superb and the bass balances perfectly. Neck depth is shallow and measures 18/19 mms at first fret and 22mms at the heel. I’m loathed to part with it because it is such a fantastic bass and because of the association with one of my first bass heroes. The combination of a wider nut width than I’m used to however and the fact I’m leaning towards medium scale instruments at the moment means it’s just not going to get played. The bass is in the same condition as when I purchased it. There are a few scratches and marks to the finish but nothing structural or unsightly, it is in excellent condition. It has new Daddarios on it. I’m asking what I paid for as I think it’s a very fair price for one of these, a new version (without the signatures) would cost well over 2K and would come with a long wait! Frets are excellent, like new as they are steel, neck is straight and true, low action. No offers, no trades. I’d really prefer pickup for this. U.K. only. More pics to follow, I’m in the middle of packing for my move so it’s currently in its case safely away from the chaos! Only trades to tempt me - a short-scale EB Stingray (US only) plus cash my way, a Ric 4003 or 4003s, a short/medium scale Precision with maple board plus cash my way. No other trades, sorry I will ignore anything else. PM me rather than put offers on this thread. I’d prefer cash and trade value I’d expect to be looking at an £1800 value on this. Cheers!

Regrettably selling my 1978 Mustang, a beautiful looking and sounding bass, this thing has tonnnns of character! Reason for sale is that i haven't played it in a few years, so its just sat gathering dust, and i'd like for it to go to a nice home, where it's played! It's never been gigged or been on any long tours - was only used for recording sessions and recording at home! and is still in amazing condition for a 78 model! More pics to follow (she is currently over in Somerset) so will get them taken when i'm over that way next week!

Nice Japanese Tokai jazz bass from the early 80s. These basses are well known for being a good copy of the originals. The bass has a lot of usermarks, bucklerash and dents all over. The neck is straight and adjustable. The frets show wear, but action can be set pleasantly low without problems. The other hardware and electronics work like they should. Weight is about 4,05 kg (kitchen scale). Asking €695 I am located in the Netherlands but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

Wonderful ! What's the weight please ? Br**it sucks ...:-(

ACG Finn Classic 4 Medium 32” Scale For sale is this rather lovely (IMHO, YMMV etc.) medium scale ACG. It started life as straight passive P bass but when ACG launched the new Hybrid Humbuckers I fitted one of those with a 4-way coil switch, so now you have the following options on top of the volume and tone knobs: Bridge coil; both parallel; both series (particularly awesome); neck coil. The bass weighs in at 3.4kgs (or 7lbs 6oz in old money) so very easy to use for long gigs. It’s in great condition and will come with a good quality gig bag. Looking for £895 please. Please see the pics below. Note that most were ‘pre mods’ but I’ve added one showing the extra knob. Please let me know if you’d like to see any other details. I would be happy to deliver within a reasonable radius of home alternatively happy to meet somewhere approximately half way if you prefer for a contribution to fuel costs. A courier remains the last resort. I work from home most days so can accommodate most collection options. I would leave it to you to organise your preferred courier.

Barefaced Big Baby (Generation 1?) Price DROP £300 This is one of earlier Barefaced cabs – same size as the original 15” Compact but this one has 12” speaker and 6.5” mid-range unit. The nearest I can find on their websites is this for the Big Baby T which also has an additional tweeter. https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/big-baby.htm Size= 25.5" high x 19.5" wide x 13.5" deep (64cm x 48cm x 34cm). Weight = prob a tweeter less than 36 lbs Overall the cab is in good nick no major dents or scratches. Its covered in that bumpy cold scrotum effect paint that Barefaced used on their early cabs – seems to have lasted well. The handle is not in a good shape – still works but the rubber is coning away. I think Barefaced sell a replacement. Also got a roqsolid basic cover Sound wise it’s got a lovely smooth and rich bass and strong mids – IMO much nicer than the original compact that I used to have. It’s a great all round cab. Afraid its pickup only from N Essex – I can drive a bit to meet up if it helps.

Cheers for the shout moley6knipe. You're right £400 is a bargain and brilliant in every way. Stroke, not so good, but after a 5 year fulltime neuro-physio program, I'm out of a wheelchair, walking, cycling, running my business, appreciating not being dead! Fab sheila still with me after 20 years, ah, it's not so bad being pretty well one-handed. Back to playing keyboard (midi controller one handed) writing, arranging, singing and recording music, gotta do what you can, eh!?

Stunning.
