I am absolutely gutted to be putting this up for sale but needs must. A Pre CBS 1963 Precision which is all original on parts but has a refinish that was done way back in its past in Lake Placid Blue All the pickups, wiring loom, neck, body reverse tuners. Bridge etc are all original. It has a Brazilian rosewood fretboard which Is just dark and lustrous. The truss rod is flush with pocket and set up to perfection (for me) but still turns freely both ways. I have listed this early before obligatory stripping for pictures of neck, pocket, loom etc to judge the interest in it, it is set up perfectly and I’m not going break it down if no one is interested. The tone is rich from this and the pickups are hot, for a passive it pumps out the bass as I’m sure @walshy will chime in and confirm. Something I know I can never replace but real life takes over nostalgia. There is no original Case but it does come with a fitted Fender red label moulded hard shell or I have a brand new fender tweed modern hard case if you would prefer that. It’s strung with old La Bella 760Fs deep talking 45-105 flats and it’s a beast with these on. It comes with the bridge and pick up covers. I will send the serial to anyone that wants to check it, I welcome and do encourage anyone interested in the bass to come and see/try it for themselves. I won’t be posting this, I will hand it over personally. If you want me to take it to bass direct or bass bros for authentication I’m happy to do it at the buyers cost. I approached Will at bass direct earlier this year and he said he would list it at £6,900.

I’ve been mulling over this for a long time as I absolutely LOVE this bass, but it’s time. We’re moving house and the proceeds of this sale will go towards the deposit… This is a fantastic example of a 1966 Jazz Bass, classic transition-era “target” sunburst with dots and binding. Bought from pmjos of this forum in 2018 (original ad here). It’s a dream bass. It’s had a refret with period-correct frets, performed amazingly by Martin Petersen of the Camden Bass Gallery, to ensure that the binding has remained intact and that there’s no damage, cracking, etc. I felt this was necessary as, when I got it I think there may have been a minor hump in the upper fretboard which caused some choking out in the upper frets, and it relieved that issue. The bass plays cleanly on every fret of the register, and I’m a pretty heavy-handed player…Otherwise, the bass is totally original in every other aspect. You can see the details in Phil’s ad, but this is a great-sounding bass and super clean. Since I got it, it’s been scrupulously cared for and has only been out of the house for recording and never gigged, so no additional dings or damage. The pickups sound fantastic, each with their own character when soloed (particularly fantastic classic burp on the bridge pickup!) but with that textbook lively mid/late 60s JB tone when combined. It comes with the original case, and also the original funny little leather strap and registration card. I’ve included some general pics below without taking the thing apart, which I’m always loathe to do, and also some shots of the neck so you can see the quality of the refret. I’m also a pretty lousy photographer, but you can view an excellent shot PowerPoint depicting the more detailed aspects of the bass here. Obviously, it also comes with the pickup and bridge covers/ashtrays, I just don’t have these installed currently as, as most probably know, it makes it a bit more difficult to play the bass. Weight confirmed at 3.977Kg I’m looking for £6750. Just to clarify I would strongly prefer collection and inspection from my home in London NW3. No international shipping! Sorry. I’ll consider UK postage, but only with discussion and careful consideration on courier method to ensure that there’s no possibility of damage during shipping, and this will definitely need to be arranged by the buyer with appropriate insurance. Absolutely no trades on this, unfortunately, as I need the cash. I hope everything’s clear, but happy to answer any and all questions. This is clearly a beautiful piece of bass and Fender history and I’m immensely saddened to have to make the decision to move it on.

Original SVT II 300 watt All valve amplifier. This thing is a beast and the tone is all it should be. A lot of people say this beats the SVT II pro and I have to agree. The Bias is good and I play through it a few times a week so the caps are all good as are the tubes. This model doesn’t come up very often for sale. There is a a wheeled generic Flight Case with it and due to the weight it’s not a shippable item(unless the buyer takes ownership and responsibility for it.) im happy to drive within a 30 mile radius from my home B14 in Birmingham and further for some petrol money.

Up for Sale a bass I purchased as a project to renovate, but when I got hold of it it played fine and is in great condition for its age, missing the pickup surrounds (I’m sure someone on here has 3d printed some) It doesn’t come with a hard case, I do have an old soft case It lives in atm. It’s not a light bass around 10 pounds due to the aluminium neck but it does make for a unique tone. If your looking to get your Mick Karn on, this will do it. I’ve looked for these online and most are between £1200 - £1600 albeit with cases. Im selling it for what I payed for it, im not convinced with eBay costings. Happy to drive within 30 miles or more for petrol. Without the hard case I’d rather not post but would trust it to @walshy man with a Van.

A cracking bass. I have the slightly older version with the unbound neck, August 65 I think, a fantastic instrument and a testament to the period. Whoever gets this will not be disappointed I'm sure, real piece of Fender history. GLWTS.

This one is a killer bass, I absolutely adored it. I’m sure I have internal pics too, I’ll pop them on here 👌

Lovely chorus pedal. Still my favourite. Someone will be very pleased with this. GLWTS 👍

I am selling a Claire Vesuvio 5 bass, a bass handmade by an Italian lutherie in 2018, alder red body, curly maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, hipshot mechanics, Omega bridge, Bartolini pickups, custom Claire coolsound electronics, price $1800 £1800 Ramacca (CT) Sicily

You gotta be very careful what you offer @bakerster135 Lovely lovely bass, it's a very odd thing just how the small differences in question equate do an iconic instrument. But they do 👍

Oh my - it has lollipop tuners. Are the original chrome bridge & pickups covers still with it? and does the case still whiff? (mentioned in the 2018 ad) — If so what of?
