Bass

For sale something of a marmite bass, I love it but having recently put a fretted neck on my Enfield Fusion, and having a few studio things to buy, this is for sale. I'll let the photos do the talking, suffice to say that it's what a Fender Custom Shop bass should be, unique, extremely well engineered, AND great sounding and playing. Trade wise I'd talk studio gear, amps, hifi, but would like at least 50% of the deal to be cash. Collection form Whitstable or meet up preferable, courier an option, I have boxes and it's in a FCS hard case Original listing here https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Fender_Custom_Shop_Closet_Classic_Precision_Pro.html

Hi everyone and I hope you’re fairing well. Selling my beautiful Jabba 5 Classic 2016 to help fund a Sandberg TM2 4 string already upstairs. Reached breaking point now ( space and dosh ) so strictly one or two out to fund next indulgence / experimentation. I bought this in Jan 2019 from Bass Direct and it’s in the same condition with home use only here. Hence the super bright images below of my bass, which were taken at Bass Direct. You’ll tell which are mine! There are a couple of small dinks to the upper and lower black gloss edge which don’t even show on the Bass Direct photos but they were minor. I’ve drop filled and polished 3 and show them on my photos. It needs a proper pro buff I reckon to get back to full gloss there but you might manage it. Two faint marks on the neck rear. Only other comment I’d make is that the tone and bass/treble controls seem looser ( when turning ) than my other basses but I don’t know the trick to solve that, all solid and stable, just easy to accidentally nudge from their position between songs. It’s all packed ready in a good Anderton’s box and a new Fazley padded bag and tons of padding around and at each end. All original with Aguilar AG 5J-70 jazz pickup set and Mayones M-BP2 , 2 Band preamp, Active/Passive switch and the controls are Vol Vol Bass/Treble stack and Passive Tone Control. The specs are on the link below for this discontinued Jabba version and you’ll see ,in the info there , that they changed the control set to Vol Blend after a long run of Vol Vol. Let me know if the link doesn’t work. I’ve had a problem attaching it. Jabba classic 5 Jabba Classic 5 (Pre-2018) • Mayones Guitars & Basses I’ve got some lurgy at the mo and my brain is failing me already but please ask if I’ve missed anything vital. She’s in great nick apart from the above minors. The BD photos make the scratch plate look a pale vibrant blue but it just isn’t ! It’s more a grey blue to me with gunmetal type screws. The whole bass is lovely and virtually swirl free. Clean fretboard and shiny frets with no wear. I have some lovely Jazz Fivers. This one will raise more funds though and the compensation is that the Sandberg I bought is blueburst too with maple and black blocks. Here are the main specs incase the link doesn’t work. I have plenty of feedback and notice Bassman666 sold one of these in July 2020. I bought his Warwick Dirty Blonde 4. Still got it. My serial number only about 3 before his bass. Cheers all and I hope you don’t catch what I’ve got! ( Not Covid) Weight is 4.47 kg on my digital kitchen scales ( 10kg max) from Amazon. That’s 9lbs 14oz. Body is alder. Flamed Maple Top and matching headstock Scale 34.25 inches 24 Jumbo Frets ( Flat tops if you zoom in on my photos ) Nut 45mm, 66 at 12th , 76mm at 22nd fret. Black blocks and binding. Side Dots Hipshot Ultralite Tuners Neck Hard Rock Maple. Matt finish. Schaller Locks ( in front pocket of gigbag) Strings are Ernie Ball Slinks 40 60 75 95 125 Not used much. Bass might suit something less bright but that’s personal preferrence. Serial Number JAC 1602153 Now what have I forgotten? Photos! Cheers, Quent

Peavey T40, '79 body and electronics, '81 neck. There are a few knocks and dings but for over 40 years old, the condition is very good. Electrics work as they should. The switches are non standard and there is pitting on the bridge saddles. Plays and sounds great and the original case is also in very good condition. Would prefer local try out and pick up but will post if preferred. Price includes postage or delivery No trades

Hi everyone. Tentatively putting my fibenare globe up for sale as I'm trying to downsize the collection! This is a stunning bass to play and look at. It sounds incredible and is pretty versatile thanks to the active/passive, 3 band eq and series/parallel/single coil switches. Good condition with one small chip near the neck pocket and one by the jack. Spec sheet is shown in the picture but anything else just let me know. Includes the amazing fitted case and I have boxes so can box up for postage at buyers risk/cost or a collection/meet up preferred. Will consider any part ex if it helps a deal. Thanks

I am selling a beautiful Sandberg VM4. It is a California model which means Made in Germany. Black knobs and hardware. Very comfortable neck and body. It was my main bass for quite sometime. These days I am more into Jazz Bass models. It was my first Sandberg. After seeing the quality of this I grabbed 2 more Sandbergs. Comes with a gigbag or a case. I couldn't find even 1 blemish on it. It is super clean. Can ship within Europe but UK is not possible.

I'm selling this hi spec and rather unusual Sandberg 48. Soft core aged from the factory, in metallic orange with cream racing stripes, matching reversed headstock, rosewood fretboard with pearloid blocks. The pickups are actually a P bass style neck, and MM style bridge pickup. The Sandberg preamp is very flexible, with passive mode activated by the pull pot volume knob. It comes with its special shaped gig bag, tools and hangtag. This was originally spec'd and sold by Classical and Cool Guitars. Here is their link for this bass: https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/sandberg-48-reverse-headstockadd-description-copy-3/ The bass is as it was when first bought. I had it up for sale here a few years ago, but then withdrew it. No damage (other than the soft core ageing), and no issues. It's a lovely bass to play, frets levelled polished a couple of years ago, very comfortable and beautifully made. Weight is 4.1kg. Well balanced on your lap. No noticeable neck dive if you use a good strap. Collection from my home in Crystal Palace, South London preferred, but can post. Thanks for looking!

You know the score. 1200W at 4 ohms, 2x12" monster cab. Very good condition with Barefaced padded cover (made by Roqsolid). I got it about 8 months ago on the forum and have not used it in anger once as I also have a smaller-footprint Barefaced Big Baby 2 which it turns out is plenty loud enough for my needs. No box, so its collected only from SW13 London, south of Hammersmith Bridge. New this is £1199 without padded cover. £800 collected seems more than fair.

Hi all, I'm reluctantly moving on my Nordstrand Acinonyx, as it's not getting enough live use to justify keeping and I need to free up some funds. These are fantastic basses, very lightweight with good balance, and a versatile and punchy sound. This example is in excellent condition, with no knocks or dings worth mentioning. The bass will come with three sets of strings - The original flats it came with (brand unknown, but they're great), LaBella RXB (used for about 15 mins, the gauge wasn't for me) and some D'addario EXL160S currently fitted with plenty of life left. Technical Details: 780mm scale (about 30.7”) 17mm spacing at bridge 1.4” wide nut Alder body with Indian Rosewood fingerboard Tortoise pick guard 2 Nordstrand single coil chrome cover pickups 4 push button pickup selector switches (including “all in” series mode) 4 tone selections including flat, traditional tone roll off, heavy tone roll of, and mid notch Very light weight - averaging 6.5 pounds 2 way spoke wheel truss rod Compound radius for excellent playability Proprietary custom US Hipshot bridge Proprietary custom licensed Hipshot oval tuning machines This is currently a collection only sale, it doesn't come with a case and I don't currently have any packing materials. I'm based in Leeds, but I'm happy to travel a reasonable distance to meet a buyer. I'm looking for £725 £700 Send me a message if you have any questions

Peavey Foundation for sale. All original, well set up and plays well. As you will see from the pics, the condition is a bit used and there are some chips and dings. I have been using this as a back up bass and for band rehearsals. I believe it to be from around 1995. Sale includes a carry bag which has seen better days but does the job. Collection from Stevenage. Buyer is welcome to arrange their own carrier. No trades.
