SOLD Fender USA Highway One Jazz Precision Bass with J-Retro 01 Pre-amp, Badass II bridge. It was a Jazz, now it's a P/J. Ok, there's a bit of a story behind this one: I bought this bass used approx 10 years ago and although the bass was fine, someone had made a really bad job at trying to "relic" it. The original finish was red nitrocellulose. It looked like someone had deliberately scuffed off the paint (in a really artificial way) and maybe repeatedly hit it with a bunch of keys! So, I removed the remains of the nitrocellulose paint and painstakingly "refinished" the body using some wood dye and Wudtone waxes and finish. It literally took weeks! It's still very irregular and has various pits and scratches, but I think it looks cool, like it's been used and has aged. There is nothing structurally wrong with this guitar. The neck is straight, has a low action and the truss rod works. The back of the neck has a few dings in it. Nothing dreadful. I don't notice them when playing it. You may be able to "heat them out" but I haven't tried, as it doesn't bother me. I also fitted a John East J-Retro 01 Pre-amp (currently retailing at £187.50) this works brilliantly. The last modifications are the Bakelite pickguard and a Fender Pure Vintage '62 Precision Bass® Pickup (currently £105.00 from fender) in the neck position. The bridge pickup is the one that came with the bass. If you wanted to, the pickguard and pickup could be changed back to Jazz Bass, and the extra routing for the P-Bass pickup filled. I don't have the original Jazz pickguard or pickup any more. It's hard to put a price on this bass. They seem to be selling for £1000 ish on Reverb, but they'll be in stock condition, but ......no expensive preamp! I could be open to offers! Please note this bass is also listed elsewhere. Postage is £25.00 insured, or you can arrange.

Now SOLD Hi Folks, Up for sale is my Squier Classic Vibe 70s P Bass, which comes fully set up and has the benefit of being upgraded with Fender Original P Bass pick ups, so it really does sound good! I'm looking for £SOLD for the bass, which I think is reasonable given the bass would cost £360 new and the pick ups about £90. These pick ups really do sound good to my ears - the sound is exactly what you'd expect from a P Bass, full, throaty and with lots of attack and presence. As can be seen in the photos, it's in almost new condition and since I bought it at the start of the year, I've only used it for a few rehearsals. It really does look great IMO, and it plays really nicely, though obviously that's a very personal thing; I tend towards a medium-high action, but everything is working as it should so it won't be difficult to adjust it to your preference. Strings are D'Addario nickels, 0.45-105s. Tech spec available here : https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Squier-Classic-Vibe-70s-Precision-Bass-MN-Black/2ZY8?origin=product-ads&gclid=CjwKCAjw586hBhBrEiwAQYEnHRTWaVK89KjNTbFZeJsRUT8GRn3klFdxvsV2QmafhsYUukpXGem7rBoCazIQAvD_BwE I'll post up the weight later... The only reason I'm selling is because there's something else I really want, and as this was last in, it's a case of first out... No trades please. I'm based in Potton, Bedfordshire and would much prefer to sell the bass to someone who's able to collect in person. As an aternative, I'd be happy to arrange a meet up in person within an hours drive from me.. Having had too many negative courier issues over the years with bass , I'm not comfortable with posting this but would consider it if absolutely necessary. I have a lovely Thomann tweed case that I could throw in as extra for £50 which would make it safer to ship. Trials welcome by arrangement with your amp of choice! Thanks for looking and if you have any questions, please send me a message via PM or ask away here. Cheers Nik

G&L SB2 early Korean version, £175. Some muppet (ME!!) was sniffy about the rather loud 'TRIBUTE' in big letters and stupidly altered the headstock logo to fool absolutely nobody into thinking it's a US version. Oh well, you live and learn hopefully. Hence the 100 quid below bluebook asking price. The price also accounts for the fact that I don't want to post it, happy to meet up within reason. The serial number is still present, it was bought from a Basschatter who'd done a very good fret dress so it plays wonderfully. I only ever used it as a backup bass but now I'm using shortscale basses it's gathering dust. A great way into finding out if G&L basses are for you, the usual USA made MFD pickups are fitted. Thanks, Martin

Sire P5 Precision Bass. Excellent condition. As new. Looks unused. "The P5 is a newly-designed Sire bass guitar, joining the acclaimed Marcus Miller lineup. Taking heavy inspiration from vintage precision-style instruments, Sire's utilitarian P5 model has plenty of classic character with its timeless body shape and solid construction — dishing out thumping low-end tones via a lone, middle-mounted split-coil pickup. Further noteworthy appointments include a rock-solid roasted Maple neck with a rolled-edge fingerboard, medium-sized frets, open-gear tuners and a genuine bone nut. Available at a fantastic price-point to boot, like all Sire instruments, the P5 is a versatile bass that perfectly blends traditional allure with modern refinement."

NOW £675. Definitely interested in trades so try me. A Fantastic as new condition Lakland 55-01 Bass in Cream finish, the build quality is excellent ! and the Bartolini Set up sounds great, coupled with the graphite reinforced neck and Pleck'd fretwork this bass plays superbly and is very stable. Strung with a newish set of Rotosounds (lightish gauge), it really is in amazing condition. Ive looked all over it and all I can find are some light scratches at the top of the headstock (pictured). Another failed 5 string experiment for me. I bought this to replace a 5 string Warwick corvette as I was convinced the wider neck would stop my fingers getting tangled, and it did to an extent, but the truth is, I don't play it because I'm too much of a 4 string player to change my ways now. I’ll not post as I've nothing to pack it in - however I'd be happy to drive within an hour. I might be open to trades, I've a hankering for a P with flats for example (4 string of course) but won't be adding any cash to a deal. The Skyline Series basses are made in Indonesia and then shipped to Laklands facility in Chicago for the Pleck setup and final inspection so they really are first class instruments! From the Lakland Website : SKYLINE SERIES 55-01 Versatility with high-end features! The 55-01 utilizes the classic Lakland body shape with a pair of Bartolini MK-1 split-coil soap bar pickups and an MK-1 onboard, 3-band buffered, active preamp. You can dial in an amazing variety of tones, from modern slap, to warm fingerstyle to aggressive picked tones. The 35″ scale neck is fast and smooth providing the killer B sound Lakland 5’s are famous for.

SOLD Had a short scale itch I've been desperate to scratch for ages. 2 weeks ago I finally got my hands on this Classic Vibe Mustang bass,courtesy of @itsmedunc It's super easy to play, able to fly around the neck comfortably. It's in excellent condition with no marks on it. Got some really great sounds in it too. Unfortunately for me I prefer all my full scale basses and I know I won't gig with this, so it may as well go to a new home were it will played. Would be willing to trade for an Ashdown Evo RM 500/800. Pick up preferred but can meet up in the Northwest. Postage is an option too.

Great Bass in great condition. Bought new by me in 2019 and hasn’t seen a great deal of action.

Up for sale a beautiful 1971 Fender Precision, with added J, in a super worn Olympic White, or Olympic Custard as it is now. The bass was stripped in 1972 and then in 1973, so the story goes, Bassdoc installed the Dimarzio Jazz pick up and the bass was refinished in the original colour. So, it's a refinish but 50 years old now so it's aged beautifully. New RS pots were added ( I am pretty sure I have the original 71's too, I will check ) and the jack repositioned. The bass has - Original tuners Original Bridge Original Precision pick ups Dimarzio Jazz added 1973 Pots are replacement RS pots, again in ‘73 5ply scratchplate. 40mm Nut Weight 3.9kg Old hard case included. Truss rod works perfectly and the bass has mainly housed flats so the frets are pretty good too. It was the main bass of a local studio/theatre guy and I purchased it from the shop which sold it on his behalf. Any trial welcome and courier is my preferred option which is £65 and normally a week wait. I am happy to meet somewhere to hand over too, but coffee and cake always available here should anyone want to come to Northumberland to check it out. I will get more pics of the 'engine room' over the weekend too. I withdrew this a while ago but it doesn't get the love it deserves so thought I would give it another whirl. I am not looking for trades but you're welcome to try.
