Probably best if I link to the original owners ad from last year for the first of details: It is a lovely bass, however soon after buying it I picked up an Ibanez ATK on a whim and arrived at the conclusion that nothing short of a USA sterling or older stingray 5 (for the ceramic p/up plus switching options) will do for me. In terms of changes since I bought it, I've just raised the action and tweaked pickup height to my preference, removed glow in the dark markers from the neck and bought a hardshell case for it. It currently has Dunlop strap locks on, but will change it back to the schaller buttons it came with unless buyer wants the dunlops. The only thing I'd add as a note to condition, is the slight raised top edge of the control panel cover which I've tried to show in photos, a few little dings/marks around the jack socket, and some slight shiny spots from player wear. All in all though, looks and plays great. I'm Bristol based and would prefer pick up/meet up but I think if the case was packed out a little to stop movement internally and then boxed up, it would probably be fine to post, would just need to sort a box for it. Asking £750 but open to negotiation depending on ease of collection/meet or delivery costs. Need the cash ideally, but conscious this is a bit niche so will consider trades if it's something I could easily move on.

Sadowsky Metro Japan Hybrid PJ5 ash/maple (2004). Black hardware as seen on NYC’s. 4100 grams of groovy gravy gravity making sushi of any PJ in the wild west. Comes with original semi hard (or is it semi soft? 😉) Sadowsky rectangular case.

Japanese Sadowsky 5 string in very good condition with all the 70’s DNA a five string Jazz Bass could possibly have. Ash body, maple neck/board, bound neck, block inlays. Pickups in 70’s position providing for more clear and tight sound options. Bass is fitted with new Sadowsky single coils and new pre amp with VTC. I can reïnstall the original Sadowsky humfree pickups and pre amp (with no VTC) if desired. Frets are like new and provide for action as low as you like. This is quite an early UV70 which means the neck is not reïnforced with graphite strips as the woods were still top quality. Maybe I am delusional but in my hands I feel a more organic bass that sounds more like wood than the later ones. Not better, but different. Comes with the well known Sadowsky rectangular semi hard case. These are arguably the best '70's Jazz fivers around they are relatively rare (not sure, maybe hundreds or less exist) and they are not being produced anymore. On par with the NYC quality, not with any MIG and MIC I played. Offers considered.

Sadowsky NYC Original P (2005) Alder body, maple neck, BR RW board 20 fets, 9" radius, 1 1/2" Nut width (J), '59 burst, Vintage neck tint Hardware chrome Weight 3,74kgs Unique Sadowsky NYC. The only one I have ever seen. Action, weight, balance and entire playability is best of the best. Sound is deep like a Precision bass with clarity rather than that quacking Precision sound. Very smooth and well blending. Comes with original Sadowsky rectangular semi hard case.

-reuploaded with correct information - Status S4000 bass circa 1990- serial number 66. It has a carbon fibre neck and active electronics - battery isn't present so the battery area is clean. It's had a check over at a guitar shop and it's in good working order. Comes with a soft guitar case. Bolt on neck, Resin body. 101 Eq system. Collection from Chester

Glorious bass. Want to keep it but can't justify (I'm up to 10 now, something's gotta give... My marriage, maybe...arf) Excellent condition. Some small marks on headstock. Hard fitted case (not Warwick). The price on the Warwick website to buy one of these new is mind-bending. This particular bass would be considered 'Masterbuilt' under today's classification. This bass was built in 2010 which was before they stamped them with the title (info from the Warwick forum). Trades considered. Any high end 5s or Vintage Fenders (with cash either way if agreeable). Thanks for looking!

Selling this lovely Bitmap in great shape with original box - it's basically mint apart of velcro. These received significant software update last year with additional clipping modes etc. Red Panda has also very convenient web editor for presets. Happy to trade (with price adjustments) for interesting dirt pedals. Bitmap occupies my "loose spot" for additional dirt in pedalboard and I'm just happy to experiment. Basic overdrive I'm covering with Capo. The ones I would love to try are EAE, Damnation Audio, Broughton, Bearfoot, Hiero etc. Would've thrown 3leaf in but what are the chances

Fantastic (and very light) 800w Markbass TTE800 Tube Amp with built in Tube Compressor. This is the better quality Mk1 of these amps that was still made in Itsly Preamp & Compressor is run on 4 tubes - 3x ECC83 (preamp) + 1x ECC81 (compressor) and a class D head meaning it’s still sub 5lbs! Also has a fantastic quality DI giving you an excellent recording device rivalling anything out there at 3-4x the cost, and as it’s a Class D power amp you can run it alone without a speaker just as your DI live if you wanted to, it doesn’t require a can connected like full tube amps 3b Passive EQ and also ‘Colour’ knob which is like a tone control on your passive bass or like the MB ‘VLE’ function. This amp is insanely loud if needs be, and gives you an amazingly thick, dense sound that remains clean. This isn’t like your Ampeg’s etc that you can overdrive, it’s a clean tube amp, altho with some real effort and the gain cranked you can OD it with a boost but it’s not really that style, it’s just an authentic vintage tone with heft you can only really get from a tube preamp I have recently got a tube DI that fits on my pedalboard, and I go ampless on stage 95% of the time, and so I am getting a power amp that I can drive from my board if I need a cab, rather than introducing something else to my signal if I need an amp. This is an amazingly good amp - and for the money it’s an awful lot better than some of the others out there (an 800w Harley Benton amp is £300 currently, so this is miles ahead of everything else in this price range, and most above too) It also looks absolutely great - including amber lighting on the circuit board giving you a nice amber glow through the enclosure which looks ace on a dark stage Info on Markbass Website: https://www.markbass.it/product/tte-800/ I have price this to sell specifically at the price I need it to sell for to buy the power amp I want, so I’m not going to reduce it, if it doesn’t sell I’ll keep it, it’s a beauty (or if the amp I’m after goes I’ll withdraw it) Price is £360 - postage can be arranged, will be packaged very securely and it’ll arrive in one piece.

Last reduction before it is kept. What a weird time to be selling a bass.
