New short scale bass incoming so this needs to go to fund it. Now £2250 I never thought I would have to do this but since I ruptured my shoulder falling off a ladder, which resulted in a replacement shoulder operation, I struggle to play 34" scale basses for any length of time. I have therefore had to move to short scale basses and so I am selling some of my long scale instruments. So here is my 2018 Overwater Progress Series IV through neck 34” scale four string made for me by those brilliant guys in Carlisle. The body wood is ash with a walnut top and matching headstock and rosewood fingerboard. Hardware, pickups and preamp are Overwater’s own brand. Controls are volume and blend with a three band EQ. The volume knob has a push/pull application that brightens up the sound. When I had the bass made for me in 2018 I asked for the body to be chambered with the result that it weighs a mere 7.5lbs. It is a great instrument, in excellent condition, and comes with a Hiscox unbranded hard case. Sorry to see this one go but needs must I'm afraid. I must be realistic about it and accept that my limitations are not going to improve and it should go to someone who can make full use of it. The price new would be well in excess of £3,500 so I think I’m asking a fair price for it – but the market will decide I suppose. Payment by bank transfer and collection from Leeds although I am prepared to meet up within a reasonable distance from Leeds if that helps.

2011 Stingray Classic for sale, with original hardshell case. Features ebony fingerboard and roasted birdseye gloss neck. Excellent condition, all works as it should, including the foam string mutes on the bridge. First of all, in the interest of being thorough, a few small cosmetic issues worth mentioning: There is a scratch on the "hip" of the bass (see pic, which looks a hundred times worse than it actually is!) There are a few tiny lacquer dinks around the top edge of the headstock (see pic and zoom in) The hardshell case has had a bash at some point in one of the corners (see pic, one of the raised "fins" on the corner of the case is cracked but the case itself is still structurally sound otherwise) A couple of the pole pieces on the pickup have blackened slightly over time, purely a cosmetic issue (once again, see pics) Other than these minor issues the bass is in excellent nick and is extremely pretty indeed!😍I bought it a year ago, but have hardly played it (think I've done three gigs on it, if that!) It's mostly been played at home. Would really love to keep this but it's not getting the use it deserves and I really need to raise some funds for other pressing issues. As well as the original case, there are a pair of Ernie Ball strap locks included (pictured) I'd really prefer not to post this, but if absolutely necessary it can be posted at the buyer's expense. I'm based in Liverpool, viewing welcome. Can deliver personally, within reason, meet halfway or whatever. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Any questions, please ask away... UK BUYERS ONLY PLEASE 👍

Awesome bass - great variety of tones, super powerful actives, recently set up, lovely low action. I really love the way this bass looks, the bound body is superb and drew my eye originally. Played it a few times but it's generally left in it's case - which no bass should ever do! I've spotted that there are a couple of marks on the font - really difficult to photo so I've highlighted them, there might be more but that is all I can find so any others should be smaller. Comes with original case and original Ernie ball strap locks (and I'll chuck the nice wide padded strap in too!) More photos on request. Price is + UK postage (we can decide on how it is shipped etc etc)

Pristine 2013 MIJ Jaguar bass, with the series/parallel switch and 2-band active EQ. No dings or marks of any kind, had a full service a couple of months ago with the pickups freshly refoamed. Fully shielded so doesn't suffer from the grounding problems that plagued these models. 4.4kg overall weight, only ever been played with flatwounds so has very little fret wear considering it's age. Currently fitted with a fresh set of standard gauge LaBella Deep Talking Bass flats, nowhere near broken in yet. It's got a lovely gurgling Jazz growl with plenty of scope for tonal modification. The only issue is a tiny gap at one side of skunk stripe down the middle of the neck. Asked about filling it in when it was being serviced and the tech just shrugged, they sometimes do that over time apparantly, it's not in danger of coming loose or falling out. It's not really noticeable when playing but you can feel it when you pick the guitar up. Edit: This has been filled, sanded and buffed out, it's still visible if you know to look for it and you can feel it if you run the soft pad of your thumb down the skunk stripe, but you can't notice it when playing any more. Replaced the strap buttons with outsized Gotoh ones, they're not the best lookers but are super secure, as long as your strap holes aren't gaping open there's no need for additional straplocks. Still have the original silver strap buttons, along with the original parchment pickguard. Love this axe but it's time to face the fact that my back can't support full scale guitars since I slipped a disc, every time I wear this for more than 20 minutes or so I'm in pain for days afterwards so it's time for someone else to enjoy it. Edit: and here's a couple of shots in the daylight, so you can see what it actually looks like:

In response to a few enquiries, I've removed the hipshot ultralite hardware/pinegrove strap/straplocks and put this back to stock. No trades, shipping possible. Nordstrand Acinonyx in white with an extra Tort pickguard, a beautifully fitting Gator Icon gigbag and 2 sets of strings. It's currently fitted LaBella Low Tension Flats, and a set of D'addario EXL 50-105 roundwounds is in the bag. Original chickenhead knob included. I have also pictured a small crack in the finish around the neck pocket... I have seen this on most of these, just for full disclosure. . . . . . . .

I’m offering this stunning and all-original Ken Smith BT5 Elite from 1990. This bass not only looks incredible with its Quilted Maple top and back, but it also sounds phenomenal. Specifications: • Body: 5-piece construction (Quilted Maple top and back, Mahogany core) • Neck: 5-piece Neck-through construction, 34” scale • Fingerboard: Ebony, 24 frets • String Spacing: 18mm at the bridge • Year: 1990 • Weight: 4380g • Case: Original Ken Smith Teardrop Case included This bass hails from the earlier Smith era, known for its superb low action and exceptional playability. The frets are in excellent condition, and the neck is flawless. The gold hardware still shines beautifully, with only minor fading on the edges, which is expected from a bass of this vintage. There are a few minor signs of playwear, but nothing significant. The bass comes with the original paperwork and even the original Ken Smith strings (currently strung with DR strings). Price: €7200 €6600 Location: Mallorca, Spain

Early 90's Squire Silver series precision bass,d'marzio P 60 pickups,absolutely super neck on these similar to a Jazz neck super smooth, Rosewood board,few bumps but nothing major,it is 30 year old.Pics show it with a black scratchplate which it came with when I bought it from Alain aka Ead on here,but now has the nice torte one and tug bar as shown on the last pic,,black scratchplate comes with it,I only have a gig bag ,so collection meet only.

You are absolutely right I was mixing up my Silver series with my SQ series! That will teach me to not to comment too hastily at the thrill of a MIJ Squier 🤭. Still a fabulous instrument mind you.
