American Vintage II Bass in sea foam green with matching headstock and lollipop tuners. Have added Lindy Fralin 5% overwound pickups and had lacquer removed from the back of the neck which dramatically improved the feel of it. Also had the cavity insulated to help with interference with the single coil pickups. Sounds and feels great. Need to thin down my collection so looking for a new home for this one.

Mad price drop or a sensible offer : £1800 OFFERS !!!!!!!! Selling my recently acquired SEI bass as having failed to sell my 77 Jazz I have decided to reduce the stable. it is a traditional P body style with a jazz neck and a very retro tele headstock. Every other aspect of the bass is modern though and is a great example of SEI boutique craftsmanship. Finish is burgendy mist with a matching headstock. Alder body, maple through neck Rosewood board, beautifully figured 24 fret, 34 scale with a slim fast playing jazz neck A very manageable 4kg and excellent balance. Satin chrome hipshot tunes, drop key on the E string. East preamp - vol/blend, passive tone w push/pull for passive, bass/treble stack with high frequency boost pull, mid/mid freq stack. Sexy White side LED on neck !!!!!! Nordstrand pickups which are incredibly responsive. Comes in snug old gig bag and can be securely packaged for shopping at buyers expense. Try out or collection from near York.

Hello again groovers, Please excuse the delay in getting the pictures up. This is no longer a "feeler" post but a definite "for sale" now but I'm changing the price to £1500. I know this looks like bad form but I feel the initial £1350 was very hasty on my part, considering what an animal of a bass it is, it's lovely condition and the trends in USA prices these days. On top of this, I've had so many offers above the "feeler" price that I'd be a numpty to honour my initial "feeler" price. I hope you all understand. Anyway, here they are. Gorgeous Stingray. Makes my hairs stand up every time I play it but I'm playing less and less bass these days and am hooked on electric and acoustic six string. I'm thinking about busking in my 60's. The only marks on it are so hard to photograph. There's a tiny dent below the g string mute, and an even tinier one on the headstock but I can't find it now. The pickguard has some wear from me but there's hardly any swirling ty[ical on a black poly body. Birdseye maple neck which glows. Serial number on the bridge. Mutes. 4.36kg which equates to 9.6 lbs. Truss rod works perfectly. These basses need no introduction. Absolute animal tone. Needs to be gigged and NEVER has been. Absolutely welcome over at the Chewie residence but I've got a little Roland CUBE here so bring a worthy amp if you're coming. I've got a Gert big garage. Kind regards to you all.

No band, no point 🤷‍♂️. This is one best looking/playing basses I have ever owned, on a par with a few Overwater’s over the last 15 years. It’s a dream to play, no discernible fret wear, a couple of blemish’s on the headstock, none on the body or neck. No case but a robust Gig Bag.

*SOLD* For sale (no trade offers please) is a 2016/17 right handed long scale Fender MIM Precision bass in Arctic White with rosewood fingerboard, with upgraded pickups and wiring. Before I go any further, as I know this is important to many of us, this bass weighs a reasonable 4.0kg (8.8 lbs) on my digital luggage scales - a touch more than the Player P’s I’ve had, but less than every USA P bass I’ve had. It balances well. It’s in excellent condition and has clearly been looked after. There are no dings, paint chips, chunks out of the back of the neck, etc, just a couple of tiny what I guess you’d call scuffs on the body which are nigh on impossible to see / photograph. It has a nice dark rosewood fingerboard on a ‘tinted satin urethane’ finished maple neck. The board was lemon oiled in September 2023. The neck has the usual 1.625” P nut width, but has a very slim neck front to back, measured with digital calipers as 0.802” at the 1st fret and 0.886” at the 12th fret. It’s the slimmest Fender P bass neck I’ve played, and is nice and fast with the satin urethane finish. It’s effectively a ‘Slim C’ neck profile though isn’t spec’d as such. The Arctic White colour is very nice, closer to the cool white of the Player ‘Polar White’ than a creamy ‘Olympic White’. Strung with 45-105 medium gauge GHS Boomers (M3045) nickel rounds with plenty of life left in them. Stock open gear tuners and bridge. Pickups have been upgraded to the excellent Fender Custom Shop CS62. Box included though it’s a bit tatty. Wiring upgraded to USA specs, to a KiOgon loom (CTS pots, Switchcraft Jack, 0.047uf capacitor), with 1/4” chrome knobs to fit the pots. It was a solderless loom, but has since had the bridge wires fully soldered on. Please note I no longer have the stock pickups and wiring. Not that you would need them as it sounds great as is. Fantastic full range of tones compared to the stock pots. Bought from a fellow Basschatter Summer 2023, this is a semi reluctant sale as this is a very nice bass. I just marginally prefer my Player P bass and think I’ll always favour a maple board, so am moving this on. It’s a great colour combo, with 3-ply BWB plate on, and a 3-ply WBW plate will be included too. Both are aftermarket ones as far as I can tell but fit ok. There is no bag or case included in this sale, but I have a good quality box and packing from when I received it. Collection is possible from Southport. I work near St Helens, so could meet in that area or somewhere in the North West within reason. Price is including postage, so there will be a discount if collected. Otherwise I will post to a mainland UK address only, using Parcelforce 24 hour next day, fully protected delivery, with live tracking available on day of delivery. I should be able to post within 1 working day of payment being received, depending on my work shifts. I would rather post it Mon to Thurs, so it’s not sat in a depot all weekend. Feel free to check my Basschat feedback & PM me if interested or wanting more photos. It is set up with a nice low to medium action and the truss rod turns as it should. It is sold as seen, with no tools or inspection tag. Serial number shows 2017, I have run it through the Fender serial number check and it shows as registered March 2017 - see photos. MIM basses moved over to Pau Ferro boards not long after this, so here is your chance to get a nice dark rosewood board. I paid £425 for this here a few months ago, and have spent £145 on upgrades (pickups £100, wiring loom, pots & knobs £45). It’s in exactly the same condition I bought it in and hasn’t been played much. I think £520 is a fair price for a great condition P bass with top upgrades.

I’m waiting for a Withdrawn going up. Lots of interest means he’s making a mistake 😂

If I were offered £100 per fault found with that bass I'd still not be able to find any, it is just absolutely bloody lovely at every level of scrutiny 👍

Looks like this is coming to live with me!
