Great example of a classic bass in trans red from the early days of G&L when Leo Fender was firmly at the helm. Probably some of his finest work right here. The bass is in great played condition. Plenty of small dings and some checking to the finish but nothing untoward. I’ve had it professionally set up prior to the sale so nice action, oiled fret board and a new set of XL chromes fitted. I’m including a nice G&G hardcase in the sale, not original but a great case nonetheless. I sold a black ‘81 earlier this year for the same money as I’m asking for this which wasn’t as good and with a generic case so I think this represents decent value. All photos are in natural light. I can post if required or meet up within reason. Ideally I would like a straight sale as I’m in the middle of a house renovation so cash and space is king. Any questions please ask away.

In stunning original condition and full working order. Flamed maple top. 35" Scale. 18 volt 3 band EQ. There are 2 small bruises on the top edge shoulder see picture, small mark on fretboard edge at 11th fret again see pic, otherwise she is unmarked with just general play swirls. She is a beauty and plays lovely. Original Peavey embossed hard case in excellent condition. £1095 Shipping UK £30 UK.

Barely used. I prefer its bigger brother. The price includes postage.

SADOWSKY LTD SNAKEWOOD 150 MADE ONLY SUPERLIGHT MM J CONFIGURATION WITH LOTS OF SWITCHING OPTIONS CASE AND CANDY INC

*NOW SOLD* This was built using Warmoth parts. Not by myself but I will give as much info as I know/can. The ‘branding’ is lacquered in but easy enough to remove and replace with your own. Set up nicely, sounds great, balances well and definitely would be quite expensive to do now using Warmoth (or any decent quality as parts/shipping costly). So here’s a chance to have a bargain and a great instrument in one go!!… It’s a lot of bass for the money. I do however understand it’s a punt but it only needs to be ‘discovered’. (and a bit of a one of a kind) I’ll try to answer your good questions. Hopefully I can add clear and helpful photos (or pm me for private emails) *Neck: 35” neck 5 piece bolt on (6 bolts) maple/ Purpleheart with 24 large frets and black Gotoh tuners in a 3/2 position, bone nut, single truss rod (headstock accessible) and Ebony fingerboard. There are also side markers in ‘between frets’ position. *Body: Solid maple with stringers that match the neck. (Stringers look like Purpleheart) to me, but correct me if I’m wrong). Deep neck pocket holds the neck securely (6 bolts) with no movement at all!! So at the moment the spacing is set at 75mm total (string centre to string centre). Average string spacing thus between 18-19mm. Can be reduced by at least 5 mm or increased by a bit less (due to max width of the neck of 78mm at the highest point). *Electronics: Passive with Volume/Tone (switchable)/4 way rotary switch (single/single/series/parallel) with side mounted Jack socket (even this has Purpleheart). The controls are recessed into the body and there is no back cavity (don’t ask as I don’t know how he did it). *Single MM style pickup with dual coils (switchable). *Marleaux branded ETS (German) bridge with quick release slots and lockable/adjustable saddles. (For string spacing/height/intonation). *Sound wise I’d say between a G&L and Musicman (with the described variations). *Great balance between strings and the B is very good (35” is my standard). *The overall condition is good with signs of use but no major damages. Collection/trials in Aylesbury. Shipping can be buyer arranged or paid by buyer. Orderly queue please😇 edit: Well…I did weigh it (albeit) on a dodgy luggage scale. It’s just over 10lbs. Solid!! I also looked at the controls a bit more and it’s really clever if you’re into that sort of thing. The Tone control is actually a rotary switch that dials in tone in or completely out. The pickup switch is also a rotary switch with 4 positions: Rear coil/Front coil/Both coils parallel/Both coils series. All positions sounds great and makes it quite a versatile instrument. (The pot is a bit scratchy but maybe from lack of use).

Here we have an excellent condition 2x12 4ohm ampeg cab with fitted casters and an Ampeg branded padded fitted cover. In ungigged condition and sounds glaorious whatever amp you match it with. Only selling as i am downsizing to a combo. Can be testetd here with my ABM (which will also be going up for sale) or bring your own amp. No delivery im afraid but could meet up within reasonable distance. Pics to follow asap

You don't see many of these... Absolutely beautiful and near mint condition 40th anniversary P-bass. One of only 400 ever built and never reissued. Most incredible woods I've ever seen on a Fender, from the ebony on the fretboard to the Birdseye maple neck to the quilt maple top. Lace sensor pickups and Kubicki preamp. All original and includes original tweed case, certificate and case candy. The word 'top' has been written on the top side of the case which is actually quite helpful in making sure it's stood up correctly. Collection greatly preferred, I'm happy to travel within reasonable distance, but could post if necessary. Sale preferred but could be tempted by trades/px of basses or guitars, definitely prefer vintage items though.
