1976 Fender Jazz Natural (Maple)+ Original Hard Case Up for sale is my beloved 1976 Jazz bass - took me ages to find my birth year bass but sadly needs must! All original - pups dated 76’ pots 75’ - the neck carries the longtime Fender Neck guru stamp of Herbie Gastelum - the indisputable ‘King of Feel’! Indeed - this bass has a beautiful feel and tone. She’s not without her battle scares - has some lacquer surface cracks and a couple of deeper marks on the bout - the G tuner also has a slight bend but this doesn’t affect functionally or tuning. She’s just been set up - so ready to go. Weight is 9.5lb - so very comfortable. Comes with her original hard case - locking catches are missing but centre latch works well and keeps the bass secure.

Now £550 including UK courier! I must be mad!! Hello! Gas bill forces sale! Previously owned by Bass_Dave of this parish. Pickup from Chesterfield or Courier at your cost. cheers! Sam

SOLD Hi All, Looking at moving on my Guild M85. Gorgeous bass that I've really enjoyed owning and using, but has had very little use this year since purchasing a Serek. These are pretty unusual - a chambered body and wooden bridge saddles for example - and I've not seen many come up. Put together really nicely, the fret work in particular is lovely, and has brilliant Grover tuners. I purchased it new in 2018. You can check out the full specs here; https://guildguitars.com/g/m-85-bass/ Its in lovely condition, and has always been moved in its genuine hard case. No marks that I can see (pretty hard to take pics of a gloss black bass!), but a little tarnishing on the bridge/pickup surrounds. Its was setup professionally last year, and has been used since, but not much this year. Strung with a nicely bedded in set of Fender flats - it sounds and looks as retro as you'd hope! Very hard to price as I can't find any others for sale - so if you are interested, but think the price is wrong, please get in touch. Would obviously prefer collection, but willing to package up - however only if the buyer pays for and arranges the courier. I'm fairly new here (was on here years and years ago) but sold a Future Impact and an Ashdown ABM earlier in the year, both with happy buyers. Any questions please ask!

Hi Folks. For sale is this bass that I acquired recently from a colleague who was in urgent need of cash, It's a lovely instrument but it is surplus to my requirements as I only play 5 string basses, I'm a working player and I really don't have space for basses or other gear lying around the house that I don't use. I’ve tried going back to gigging with 4’s but, I’ll be honest, I find it to be a bit of a struggle, I am at home with my 5er and that’s that. This bass has been given a custom 'pimping' by a boutique shop in Poland called 'Restauracja Gitar', check em out on FB, they specialise in giving instruments a complete overhaul, refinish etc. Description (from RG's FB page): Bass made of the original Fender Jazz Bass 1962 Reissue manufactured in Japan in the late 90's. Thick polyurethane paint was mechanically removed from the guitar, than we repainted the body with our hard sealer and a thin layer of purple nitro - a technique used in the 1960/70 Fenders. Additionally, the neck is covered with a thin layer of honey nitro. The instrument has an alder body and a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The whole thing is completed by alnico pickups, bone nut and a solid and reliable Gotoh hardware. Relic edition - characteristic nitro crackles, dents, abrasions and a natural patina on the hardware. This purple paint looks phenomenal live! In addition to the visual metamorphosis, we have performed a numer of service works so that the bass not only looks unique, but also sounds professional - Jazz Bass offers a very universal and wide spectrum of sound, it will work in virtually any situation! I truly recommend! Full guitar service: - frets leveling, crowning and polishing - fingerboard cleaning and maintenance - electronics copper shielding - nut adjustment - new jack socket - new strings - professional setup. Weight is around 9lbs 5oz. This instrument currently has a brand new Hipshot BT10 Bass Extender installed, the original tuner will be supplied. The bass will be shipped in a used hardcase(not tweed case pictured).

Amp bought from Nick Lowe in 1979. Works fine although could probably do with a new set of valves. In remarkable condition considering age. Included is a homemade cover for the amp and a genuine Fender cover for the cab, though this is in poor condition. Collection only. There can't be that many of these around. SOLD

Precision 4 string Bass Guitar. For sale is my ‘Bitsa’ Precision bass. It features Fender on the headstock and neck plate, and although it has Fender components it is NOT a Fender, and is not being sold as one. Its plays beautifully, with a fantastic neck. It has upgraded components incl Kent Armstrong pick up, heavier bridge and good tuners, new steel control knobs and electrics. It has been repainted and has a satin gloss finish, with some ‘orange peel’ evident on the paintwork but nothing much. Weight is around 9lbs It has new roundwound strings and has just had a pro set up so its super playable Only selling as i am reducing my basses! It will be supplied in a basic Tiger gig bag. I prefer collection, but if i send it it will be wrapped in bubblewrap at buyers risk. Thanks for looking

Darkglass Vintage Microtubes, great condition. Bought from @admiralchew fairly recently (July?), not made it onto my board long term so moving it on. Does what it says on the tin really! Its a very good unit with some great tubey sounds, but I've other pedals that are very close to it. Comes in its box with manual etc. Free velcro attached to back of pedal Darkglass Blurb Cheers for looking

Hi all, Having a clear out of some things I don't use that often, so up next is a Moon/Warmoth jazz bass. I picked up the fully-loaded body and tuners last year, and decided to go with a birdseye maple/ebony neck from Warmoth. It also has 'Arizona Blue' dot markers, which look great. Tele-bass headstock, as opposed to the usual J/P headstock. The body is late-70's I think and has original Tom Anderson/Schecter high-output single coils. The neck pickup needed a rewind which was completed by Armstrong pickups last year. They don't have a pickup cover, as was their style at the time. Body wood is Walnut and looks darker in real life than it does on the pictures. Due to its age, it's not in perfect condition, with a couple of smaller dings. It's very comfortable to play and balances nicely. Weight on the scales is 4.46kg or 9.8lbs. Controls are VVT. The tone put is push/pull which brings the bridge pickup out of phase. Not hugely different tones, and I think it could be wired for series/parallel if so desired. The switch is a 3-way pickup selector - neck, both or bridge. The neck is in perfect condition and looks and feels amazing. Warmoth quality is right up there with the best. Truss rod turns with no problems, as you would expect from a brand new neck. Comes with a brass nut. I had this put together for me by Jack's Instrument Services in Manchester back in the summer, but I need to thin the amount of basses I have, so it's up for sale. Price is £750. I'm not looking for any trades thanks. I am happy to ship, but will need to charge extra and can get a price for you based on where you are. Alternatively, collection from just outside Leek in North Staffs is preferable, or can meet somewhere reasonable for some petrol money. Thanks all, happy to answer any questions, or take additional photos.

Bass is in exceptional condition, It has a custom see through scratch plate, which shows off the lovely quilted maple top, but the original comes with it too, and a Dingwall gig bag and a spare set of strings. Originally supplied by The Bass Gallery in London. I can do a whatsaap video call if you want to see the bass demo'd or just look over it in real time. Price includes postage in the UK, Bass will be securely packaged & insured. Full specs are here if you need it.:- https://dingwallguitars.com/combustion
