Well - Just learnt I'm gonna be a dad this year - I'm not a kid anymore and somehow I wanted this more than more basses (what's going on with me!?), so I've got to act up on it - I'm not desperate for the money but having about £8k worth of gear being only in one band with what's coming up is excessive. Ah, it was nice whilst it lasted. Bringing you a 9lbs, fantastic condition Rickenbacker 4003 in Ruby Red, from 2017. The bass was bought from the Bass Gallery, and has since been upgraded to a Nordstrand Nordenbocker (original pickup included); the bass has also been treated to a Hipshot bridge instead of the original, which feels great. IMPORTANT: This bass is now well settled and adjusted - full crowning and levelling / electronics / setup by Robbie Bowman, head luthier of Gordon Smith Guitars. I can guarantee this is as nice a Ric as you can find/play, since the wood (trapped under varnish in this odd design that fanboys call 'quirks') is now completely settled. I spent a good penny to have a great playing bass into a perfect example of Ric 4003. Binding solid, no sharp edges, no pickup bent as this is the structurally sound placement of the neck pickup, truss rod in perfect shape... No surprises - just a perfect playing Ric 4003. It does play perfect and it's in great condition, with no wear/human/external blemishes since it left the factory. Looking to get back what I've put into it - I encourage anyone to try it, but odds are you'll buy it if you do - you've been warned! Not really looking for trades as I just want to clear some debt etc - I'd love a JMJ blue but argh, no, better not start there. PS: I love this bass, so take it off my hands whilst you can otherwise I may withdraw - not desperate and I know my band will kill me when they know it's gone!

Last of the herd thinning listings and it's a belter The body is black walnut built by Paul Walsh @Bassmonkey, finished in Nitro Shoreline Gold by the magnificent Dave Wilson with: Fender Custom Shop ‘62 pups Badass II Bridge Kiogon loom with CTS Pots Fender tort plate Fender Precision Knobs The neck is an Allparts Jazz maple neck with white/pearl blocks and bindings. Tuners are Hipshot Ultralights. It was all put together and set up by Paul with a new set of Markbass roundwounds and she weighs in at a respectable 9lb 4oz It's in mint, unmarked condition and will come in a tatty but functional hard case. The dark area on the side of the neck between 9th & 12th frets is the wood grain, not any blemish Would rather do collection or happy to drop off or do a halfway meet within 1.5 hours or so of Wakefield, West Yorkshire. I've reduced this from £900 to £800 for a straight sale Only trade I’m interested in is a Helix Floor That seems fair for the quality and condition. Not looking for trades at this point.

Never been used so in perfect condition with no marks, scratches or dings. Active Spector Tone Pump EQ. Alder body with flame maple cap in Black Cherry high gloss finish. All works as it should and comes with a nice padded gig bag. £395. Shipping £20 UK.

Congratulations on the baby... If it's a boy you can always name them Rick.

Hi guys, here is my Retrovibe P-30 short scale 50's style tele-neck, bound P bass with a smaller body. One of a limited run of 8, as I understand, no scratchplate and Retrovibe's own single coil pickup, which is. very full on P bass. Wilkinson hardware. in very good condition. . Bought from Paul to try out short scale and I find 32" scale better for me. Only reason it's for sale. NOW ONLY £250 POSTED.

For sale Following the end of my short Queen tribute stint. Really nice P either way. Open pore type finish on the body with a tort plate which isnt a perfect fit, so one screw hole is empty and another one filled. F decal on the headstock but I'm pretty sure no Fender parts were "harmed" in the making if this bass. Plays great with a good set up. Medium weight around 9lbs nut is 41mm. UK POSTAGE INCLUDED.

Immaculate condition Only used in my recording studio once or twice, no scratches or dings. Includes hardcase also in superb condition and all the warranty and tools that come with the guitar. Condition: Used but immaculate, never gigged or left house. Will consider trades for Warwick basses (Streamers) Brand Gibson Model Non-Reverse Thunderbird Finish Pelham Blue Fretboard Material Rosewood Fretboard Radius 12" Body Material Mahogany Frets Medium Jumbo Right / Left Handed Right Handed Pickup System Passive Neck Material Mahogany Pickup Configuration HH Finish Style Gloss Number of Strings 4-String Offset Body Yes Wood Top Style Opaque Finish Features Matching Headstock Number of Frets 20 Will consider offers, prefer pick up in Gravesend Kent but will consider meeting nearby or shipping within UK

Next in line on the thinning down is this Roadworn Jazz bitsa Body is a MIJ 62 reissue which has been refinished in cream over white. It's a nice enough roadworn effect with plenty of scop to add some more wear 🙂. Pickups are from a Geddy Lee MIJ. The cavity is well insulated with copper tape and there are brass shielding strips under the pickups. The brass strip to the bridge is purely cosmetic. Wiring loom and CTS pots came from KiOgon. Bridge is a Fender BBOT. The neck is an Allparts jazz neck I bought from a guy in the US who does the roadworn effect. It's really nicely done. Tuners came with the neck and I think are Gotoh but can't be 100% sure. The fender decal I added isn't the best of jobs in terms of the laquer over the top. She weighs in at 9lb 2oz on the digi scales It plays really well. The action is nicely low but my jazz bass needs are well catered for with others. Would rather do collection on this as I've no case for it, but happy to drop off or do a halfway meet within 1.5 hours or so of Wakefield, West Yorkshire. I've priced at £400 after looking at recent bitsa prices with similar quality parts Not looking for trades at this point. I would consider splitting the neck and the body for £200 apiece if there is interest.

Howdy Selling most of my basses - band split up and kinda not feeling it at mo - but the good thing about basses is that you can always buy more right? It’s good as it is and pretty versatile but this would make a great mod platform, a couple of B90s and it would be awesome- strung with new GHS flats - necks fast and good, intonation good - and loud too - it’s crazy light - can’t feel it on a strap so good if you have bad back. Body: Basswood Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Number of Frets: 20 string spacing 19mm nut 40mm Scale Length: 780 mm (30-1/2″) Pickups: Mini Humbucker x 2 Controls: Volume x 1, Tone x 1, PU Selector x 1 Hardware: Chrome Finishes: 3TS (3Tone Sunburst) Collect at Clithetoe or can drop off if nearby or £15 shipping. No bag or case just bass

***Price dropped to £1250*** Selling my beautiful gloss black Stingray 5 from 2001, with matching black headstock, rosewood fingerboard and black pearloid scratchplate. Fantastic sound, records beautifully. Gorgeous smooth neck. There are a few small signs of wear as shown in the photos but nothing that is ever obvious when playing the bass and nothing, in my opinion, that detracts from the beauty of this instrument. The swirly pattern on the close-up image of the body is a reflection of the ceiling...! Weight: 5.3kg/11.8lbs Not a lightweight, that’s for certain but the bass balances perfectly and a wide strap can help distribute the weight somewhat. No case. Price includes delivery by courier. Alternatively, I am happy to drive to meet at a reasonable distance from Wallasey, Merseyside (CH45). Message me for payment details and to discuss delivery/collection of this lovely bass that you're currently thinking of buying and then deciding wholeheartedly to buy 😉 Thanks, Steve

For sale is my Chowny CHB-1. I just didn't get in with it. Never gigged, but there are a few small paint marks that should buff out I think. Pics to follow. Here is one I found online. Here is me playing it.

G&L SB-2 Tribute. In excellent condition as not really had much use. Looking at the serial number it looks to be a 2010 production. It’s finished in black that has a hint of sparkle but hard to pick out unless in certain light. I replaced the original 1 ply scratchplate(black) with the 3 ply one that’s pictured but will include the original. I do have a hard case than can come with it if it needed to be posted at an agreed figure. I’m on with a big house renovation so clearing out stuff I don’t use much.

I've got two @walshybasses and they are great, best of luck....arrrrgggghhhhhhhh so badly want a third

Alot of bass for little money!

I had one exactly the same - can't remember what I did with it. Is this it? As good a jazz bass as you'll ever need. GLWTS

In my view, the best 5 string out there and the one that set the standard!! I so miss my TRB 5 Best of luck mate, Andy
