SOLD !!! thanks For Sale this Rare Fender Precision bass, limited edition International Series "Morocco Red". These instruments were produced between 1979 and 1981 in a limited run of particular and quite rare colors. This one has the S9 serial, I tried to check the pots, but I can't go back to the exact date, in any case the bass for my experience is 100% original and conforms to the time of construction. The bass is really very nice to play, it resonates a lot and it is a very badass rocking machine!! another thing worth noting is the weight .. 3.8 kg on my bathroom scale!!! which for an instrument of those years is something more unique than rare, which is why I would want to keep it !!! I took photos both outside and inside, the color that is very particular depending on the light can range from an orange similar to a fiesta red, to a more bright red similar to a dakota red. the neck is stable and straight.. truss rod turns easily. feel free to ask for anything else!!! i could consider trades and partial trades with other 4 string basses..

Bass demo.m4a Demo from Section of recording Never saw this day coming, but I was taking it to be defretted when I was offered my old EUB which I couldn’t resist and I need the funds. This has been used for one recording gig in November since I bought on this ere forum back in September-ish I believe? Otherwise been sat in it’s gig bag. Strung with black nylons which I think suit it nicely. The bridge piezo was removed (as is quite common with these) and replaced with a lovely Krivo mag. No feedback but still retains the woodyness when dialled in with the internal tone control. I will dig out the Spotify/iTunes link to the recording, or get a demo up. You can feel the quality of the build when played, and the nylons give it a nice upright sound. The ebony board is gert lush my babber. Looks cool as flip too! Needs to be played, not sat in a case. I am not posting this without a hard case I’m afraid. But will travel by negotiation within reasonable distance of Bath/Bristol/Bridgwater areas. I’m open to offers btw, but no trades.

For sale this wonderful looking and sounding Warwick Corvette Limited Edition 2016. Black Korina top, Walnut body, WHITE (rare) ebony fingerboard, Nordstrand Bigman and Jazz pickups and 2 way EQ (push pull volume active/passive), rechargeable via USB (optional). MINT conditions. Comes with original leather case, masterbuilt certificates and tools.

Spector Euro 4LX in black trans finish, with some nice redish brownish accents which I have tried to capture in the photographs. Dates from 2012, so still in great shape given the age. £1350 shipped Mainland UK in flight case shown in photographs. No trades. Weight is 4.138kg Fitted with Tonerider P and J pickups. I tried many different pickup combinations in this bass as a different flavour to normal Spector EMGs and these Toneriders are by far my favourite. Note the covers are loose on these pickups so you could change to solid black pickup covers for a more traditional, sleeker look. Great overall condition, just a few minor rings as shown in photos, small scar on back of bass, some blemishing on the top of the 3rd fret area, some blemishing in the 13th fret. All fairly minor in my view and shown in photos.

*** Now Traded *** Hi Folks, Heavily modified 70s MIJ Maya Jazz 'Stealth Bass' , with John Birch pick-ups For Sale. Back in January, I was scouring the internet as you do, looking for an unusual bass to buy, and this one caught my eye on Gumtree. It's a heavily modified 70s Maya Jazz Bass (which in itself is a good thing IMHO) that has been turned into a 'Stealth Bass', complete with a body refinish in a kind of satin black (that's almost impossible to photograph), and kitted out with all black hardware, which I think looks great with the maple neck and black block inlays. The most interesting of all those mods are the two John Birch pick ups, which are not only very unusual, but super-loud and sound great! The guy I bought it from who had all the work done, said he wanted the loudest, punchiest sounding pick-ups he could find, so he chose these... There seems to be a lot of mystique around John Birch pick-ups, and I have to confess, I don't know much of the background .. But these pick ups - set up in a simple V/V/T configuration - really are quite different sounding to me.. Too my ears, they're much more like a proper vintage Thunderbird than a Jazz Bass, but there's a fab, old-skool, Motown tone to be had too from the neck pick up and, when balanced so that the bridge pick is more prominent, the sound reminds me a little of my old Wal Pro IIE basses.. I'm not 100% sure, but I think these are John Birch Hyperflux pick-ups.. See here for more details.. https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/swd/years-ago-i-heard-of-a-company-out-of-birmingham-england-that-made-guitars-and-many-models-of-pickups-who-was-it-and-what-kind-of-pickups-did-they-make-lewis-harley-isle-of-sky-scotland And there's more info on John Birch as a luthier, and his pick up designs, here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Birch_(luthier) (I've included a couple of photos of basses fitted with John Birch pick-ups for reference..) When I bought it, the bass played well and sounded really good to my ears, but I was convinced that the bridge was slightly out of alignment. So, I took it to our very own @gary mac, who did an excellent job of moving the bridge 2mm, and giving the bass a good set up with a set of D'Addario NYXL strings... The action is set now at what I would call medium height , and the neck plays really well.. However, the truss rod is working as it should, so a lower action could definitely be achieved on this bass if required. Weight is 4.6kg (10.14 lbs). As quirky and cool as this bass is, I find myself still defaulting to either my G&L SB1 or my BC Rich Eagle when playing, so this is just not getting used.. Hence why, as part of my gear clear out, I've decided to put it up for sale. Hard to put a value on this, but it owes me the best part of £400, so I'm offering it for sale at Now Traded. Try out welcome and collection preferred from Potton, near Sandy in Bedfordshire, but postage is possible at buyers expense and risk. Please note that I don't have a case for this, but I would ensure that it is very well packaged up for shipping. Having said that, I do have a nice tweed Thomann case that could be included at an additional cost.. Any questions, please ask here or send me a PM and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for looking.. 😊 Nik

Facing up to the fact that as 90% of my work is unamplified gigs on upright and I can't have this sitting on a shelf... Cali 76, TX version that can run at 9V-18V. I used this on gigs a lot after first buying it and loved it, it has a few scuffs but is in very good condition overall - if you want more detailed pics of specific areas then let me know. It comes boxed with original manual and info. Asking £580 collected from Egham (minutes from M25 J13) but will also ship according to the buyer's preference. Optional extra: if you have a Noble DI then Jack made me a cable so you can run this at 18V from the Noble's 9V outlets.

I’m thinking to open an instagram page about “old basses & old tractors” 😂

Want this gone to make room for incoming! for a hand made guitar that plays nicely, but needs a bit of love. Beautiful nylon electro acoustic. Handmade in Bulgaria, LR Baggs electrics. On closer inspection this has had a more substantial repair than I’d realised and have attached another picture of the inside under the bridge. Looks like it was to reverse some “top lifting”? Still has nice action, but obviously with the top “anchored” it has less movement/vibration acoustically. However, through the piezo this has less of an effect, only that the contact is less even across all strings, most noticeably the A string has a lower volume. As a result, I have reduced the price to reflect this and in interest of full disclosure. Has small scratch on back (see pics). Here are the specs from Kremona site https://www.kremonausa.com/en/signature-series/lulo-daimen-kremona/ Comes with new tourtech hard case and new unopened spare set of strings. Only selling as need to raise funds. Would prefer collection meet up, within Bath/Bristol areas or by negotiation. Otherwise could post as it has a hard case.

I knew I should have stayed away from this forum, that is lovely! If either my bike or my saxophone sell soon enough..................

NOW SOLD Before the introduction of the Sterling by Musicman range, OLP (Officially Licensed Product) briefly produced the MM22 bass - effectively an active budget Stingray with two humbuckers. Many OLPs have been modified to be active – this one was designed and built that way in the early 2000s. The MM22 was made in Korea, unlike its brand predecessors, and was good enough for Sterling Ball to reportedly say: ‘OLP quality was all over the board much to my disapointment… why do you think I cancelled the deal? The irony is that the last batch were made in Korea at a higher price point due to the Sub leaving the markiet and they were truly great... too good, but too late.’ My pristine example is finished in a metallic flecked grey/gold – very hard to describe but very attractive on stage. Also unlike earlier OLPs, it has a three-band EQ and five-position switching, which opens up many possibilities. On a physical level, having a second humbucker also lets habitual Fender players like me anchor their thumb, something I could never do on the three Stingrays I have previously owned. Switching options: 1. Bridge humbucker 2. Inner coils (both) 3. Both pickups 4. Outer coils (both) 5. Neck humbucker So the tonal options range from the bridge pickup’s anticipated Stingray tone through a hollow Gibson EB type sound through Bongo to Jazz (great for slap) and finally a P-like thump at the neck. If that’s not versatile... Hardware-wise, the metalwork is certainly as good as MIM Fender. The MM22 has a basswood body but also has contours, as per the ‘real thing’. But the real star of the show is the fast and very playable neck, 42mm at the nut. It has an attractive flame in it but is also lacquered – I never liked the painted US Sub neck nor did I get on with the oiled EBMM necks, so this scored with me. To cut a long story short, if you buy this you get a Stingray-esque bass for considerably less than Squier money. Its been cleaned, set up and re-strung with d’Addarios, ready to rock or funk as appropriate. Here’s a video demontrating a similar example, plus photos of the actual bass. Thanks for reading!
