So this is the “I’ll not sell this one” bass. It sounds perfect, quite modern and crisp…not vintage plummy Gibson. Does an MTD’ish style, seems to pull musicman sounds but will do vintage stuff, Ace, Mahogany Set neck, Mahogany Body, Beautiful flamed Maple Lid…Schaller Hardware, Bartolini Electronics… Original Case and Gibson paperwork (one latch not functioning) I will include the knobs it came with - seem to be very heavy duty, and the Gibson speed knobs I’ve bought to get it back to factory. 34” scale, ebony board: new battery recent GHS flea strings - very low action… Some small marks, nothing at “ding” level. Specific trades… Musicman Stingray 5 - Honeyburst/white pickup preferred Dingwall D-Roc/NG 5 string: if this doesn’t sell…no hardship, but I need a 5 for the band I’m using it for…and the ripper and Jack Casady’s do the other band.

I bought this bass off @jrixn1 just over 2 years ago I believe, I've loved having it, but it just doesn't get the use it should, I prefer 5s so though a P5 would be nice to have, but turns out, I still prefer 4 strings precisions. I think this is the price I bought it for, and it hasn't really changed since then, but I'm open to sensible offers. Currently strung with LaBella flats, but I can put rounds on if you prefer. Body: chambered alder with flamed maple top and back Neck: 21-fret (plus zero fret) hard rock flamed maple with rosewood fingerboard, blocks, and vintage white binding Scale length: 34" Headstock: originally matching, it was subsequently refinished by JP Guitars, Bristol. Nut width: 45mm Tuners: Hipshot USA Ultralites Pickups: Delano PC 5 AL/M2 (neck) and JC 5 AL (bridge) Controls: Volume, volume, tone; push-pull on the tone for both pickups in series. Bridge: Gotoh 205B-5, 18m spacing Weight: 3.585kg, and perfectly balanced - a real pleasure to play. Some info from the previous owner that I would not have noticed or known about if it wasn't pointed out -> It also arrived with stripped neck screws; these have been replaced. Truss rod works correctly in both directions. N.B. Maruszczyk truss rods are clockwise to loosen and anti-clockwise to tighten (i.e. against convention). There are a couple of small marks on the body, one of which has been painted over (see photos). I'd prefer collection in Edinburgh, or delivery/meet up within a reasonable distance, but I can sort postage at buyers expense if necessary. Cash would be ideal, but, I really want a Genzler Kinetix so happy to trade. I'm also after a short scale, and a Fender Coronado. For some reason I can't upload any more photos, I'll try again later (and include a post it note with date, but if anyone wants photos before that, let me know and I'll send them over)

I'm thinning the herd to focus on getting a few things I'm after. I like this bass, a lot, but since getting a USA Musicman Sub This just hasn't been out at all. There are some signs of wear, particularly at the headstock (see pictures), but it palys and sounds as it should. The original machine heads were rubbish so I put some Schallers on it. I'm ideally looking for pick up or delivery, I'm in Edinburgh, but happy to meet within reasonable distance. I have gig bags (lots of them) and I can fashion a box if needs be, but postage would need to be paid by the buyer. Still, I'd prefer you try it first... Cash is king, but, a short scale Fender looking thing, or a Coronado might persuade me. Just noticed the new proof of ownership thing, I'll get a pic with a post it note later today - I just took the photos yesterday, just because it wasn't raining in Edinburgh.

Reluctantly selling my 1997 Alembic Rogue. Very good condition, and all original save for some copper foil pickup screening work that was done by Martin at The Bass Gallery. Mahogany body with flame maple top. Maple through neck and ebony fretboard. Neck and fretwork are excellent. Body bears a small amount of player wear but this blends in nicely with the oil finish of the wood. It comes with a Kinsmann semi-hard case which is in very good condition Weight - 4kgs Thanks for looking!

Selling my Fender Classic Player Rascal bass. Designed by Dan Smith at the Custom Shop and one of those bonkers rare short scale's. I'm mainly a Mustang guy, and one of my 'grail' basses have become available so this one needs to go sadly. In great condition, with one tiny mark that I've captured in one of the photo's. And I'll fling in a Fender gig bag with it. Based in Dumfries, but willing to travel an hour or two to meet someone halfway. And probably willing to discuss insured postage if as a last resort, that looks around £60 but I can check for a more accurate price on request. Give me a shout if anyone has any questions.

Epiphone Jack Casady in sparkling Burgundy, I bought the Bass from peach guitars in September and it is in excellent condition. It has been used mainly at home and only gigged once. Normally I wouldn’t even think about selling this bass however I have a relatively serious shoulder upper arm injury which because of the size of the body is making it uncomfortable to play. I’ve tried an extra long strap and other things but unfortunately the problem continues so regrettably I’m putting it up for sale. The bass was set up by the guys at Peach guitars as part of the sale and is currently strung with Rotosound flats. Comes with a TGI acoustic bass gig bag/ case Bass is in Wigan and I can post or you can collect for free. Any questions let me know and I’ll do my best to answer them, Thanks Steve

Gallien Krueger 700rb ii with new power amp board purchased from Polar Audio last month. I bought a 2nd power amp board for my main amp so this is now surplus. OK, I made a big noise about buying a dead 700rb ii for £50 and then buying a new power amp for £50 ( equals £100, I know)...I'm offering this at 175 purely as it's about half what a 700rb would go for normally. I tend to sell pretty cheaply, to stop gear gathering dust but below £175 then I may as well keep it. Obviously the heart transplant was done by myself as a DIY fix. The amp works well and actually sounds better ( new board maybe?) than my old faithful. So if you want a 700rb ii at a good price, hopefully I'm being pretty transparent. I am just raising funds as I'm not gigging much. Just to add, at the asking price I'm happy to meet up and handover the amp within say a 50 mile radius. From Lichfield, Strensham services for example. Not a fan of couriers from previous experience. Cheers Martin

Noguera Expression 4 Fretless first generation from the 90's with a new Delano Sonar 2 preamp (the original was not working correctly and has been binned) and original Bartolini Jazz Bass single coil pickups in large wenge covers as well as wenge knobs. The fingerboard has been dressed very recently allowing for a low action and very straight neck. The bass has been used a lot and is showing signs of use, wear and dings: it's a player and a fantastic one! The new price when still available, as Christian NOGUERA is now retired, was €1890 EUR!!! OPENED TO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding DOM -TOM), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €950 EUR (£825 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU. Here are the specifications : Body: 2 pieces bubinga Neck: 3 pieces hard maple, the center piece being flamed Fingerboard: Gabon ebony (12" radius) Positions: 24 with a very small line at each one of them on the side, dots at each one of them at the second octave on the treble side of the fingerboard, and dots at the fretted positions on the side Headstock: 2+2 Tuners: Gotoh GB7 Pickups: original Bartolini Jazz Bass single coil in large wenge covers Preamp: Delano Sonar 2 Controls : active/passive switch, volume, blend, bass and treble (turning into a real tone in passive mode) with optional wenge knobs Bridge: original wenge 2 separate pieces Noguera Strings spacing at bridge: 19 mm Nut: wenge + zero fret Strings spacing at nut: 11 mm (width 42 mm) Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: black Truss rod: one, single action, 100% functional Finish: oiled and waxed Country of origin: France Serial number: EXP 4090 Year: 90's (1992 at the earliest) Weight: 3.655 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the E string at 12th position (can even go way lower if you shim the neck, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a brand new Fame gig bag Antique Deluxe in faux brown leather. Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up, shielded (dead silent) professionally and the fingerboard has been dressed too. It has a new battery and has received a new set of nickel plated D'Addario EXL165 strings (45-65-85-105), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is used with wear and dings, with some light ones at the back of the neck. Here is the link to 20 photos in high definition: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1C3RzDZolyTv6L_q1TstZU7s2LSc1nYD6?usp=sharing Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!
