Reluctantly going to have to part with some gear. Not being able to return to full time work anytime soon forces the sale 😪 So up for grabs is my 2022 non reverse Thunderbird in Inverness green. Excellent condition with only the chip to the bottom of the bass which I did. It is a Gibson demo bass as stamped on the back of the headstock. I compared it to my other non reverse I had and there's no difference at all. The only possible imperfection is a small indent on the back of the headstock where its stamped made in USA. Other than that its spot on. I kept this one as it was the lightest weighing in at 8Lbs 7oz making it very gig friendly and to my ears better sounding to my other Birds. The bass comes with its Gibson fitted hard case. I should be able to ship the bass to UK for about £35 but due to the length of the case finding a suitable box is a bit tricky. Collection and trial very welcome or a can meet up if not too far. I'm not really after any trades thanks as I'm seriously going to need the cash sadly.

Torzal through Neck 4 string bass (AKA Little guitar works) I purchased in 2023 because I developed carpal tunnel /RSI (a gig more than 30 min was impossible and I had pain for days after) It solved the pain problem, its easy to play and allowed gigs up to 2.5hrs with no pain or aftereffects. As a result, I ordered one which arrived last year. The twist is -20 degrees neck & +10 degrees @ bridge. Very natural playing position, you will benefit even if you do not yet have issues! Very high spec & quality with all the control & excellent sounds. Very good conditions, with some dings. 3.5kg (the last pic is not my bass but shows the twist) https://www.torzalguitars.com/ (my new build is the red one in the gallery) I contacted Jerome Little (the luthier) who kindly sent me the 2018 build order form. + E tuner extender and Dovetail battery cover Any trial or questions

Gibson EB0 1968/69 Bass USA This old bass comes complete with original tug bar, working mute and bridge cover. Even the original plastic shims under the bridge cover ‘feet’ are present. The big Gibson mud-bucker is stock and sounds massive. Short scale, set neck with pearl inlays and rosewood board. Mahogany body. I replaced the foam in the bridge as an old yellow kitchen sponge was in it when I bought it. The screws holding the cover in place look newer to me and there is some more modern looking wire connecting to the jack in the control plate. See pics. The other thing I did was to replace the G tuner as it was slipping (in ‘68 Gibson were using imported tuners from their Kalamazoo range to keep up with orders as interest in the bass hit it’s peak). The replacement tuner is a Hipshot and I have the original. It is strung with Thomastik Jazz flats. When I bought it the bass was wearing the heaviest, nastiest mix of black nylon Rotos and round wounds but the neck had managed to stay straight. The bass has had no neck or headstock repairs. It’s lovely to play and nice and light but resonant. It is a one trick pony but it does that trick very well and I found it very musical. The action is low and the string tension low so unplugged it’s quite buzzy. Played through an amp it sounds great but at the time I was using it I was recovering from a fretting hand op so playing it now it could probably do with the action raising. I’m out of action again with rotator cuff so can’t do this at the moment. The trussrod works properly and the frets have life in them but are probably due for a crown. I bought it with a pretty nifty home made case. I would think it rare to find one with all its original hardware. UK only sorry. No trades, pickup preferred so you can try it out but I can post if that’s difficult. It’s a gigged, vintage bass over half a century old so lots of finish checking (that looks gorgeous) and dings. The pictures show it strung with D’Addarios but the bass is now wearing Thomastik flats as per description. I’ve added more detailed pics.

Hi, I’m looking to sell my Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V in black with maple neck and abalone block inlays. The controls are volume, blend, active 3 band eq, passive tone control and an active/passive switch. It takes two 9V batteries. These basses are my favourites, but I bought this as a back up for my tour rig. I currently have three of them and this one just isn’t being used really. The bass weighs approximately 4.4kg I bought this bass from Basschat in January 2024. It’s been played and toured by its previous owner and has always been fantastic and reliable whilst I’ve had it. I’ve taken it on two tours last year as a back up and have played it on a handful of shows. It’s been looked after by myself and the previous owner. There’s a couple of dings and chips on the body which I’ve attempted to photograph. I can provide more photos. It comes with the original black pickguard (I’ve placed this over the top in some of the photos) and a dark tortoise shell one which I bought to replace it because I like how they look. It also comes with the original Fender strap locks. The original Fender case has a big crack in one of the corners so I’ve replaced it with this Stagg Hardcase. If you wanted the original you can have that instead though. I’m based in Birmingham but can provide postage and packaging at the buyers expense. Thanks for looking! Michael.

2007 Warrick Corvette made with the finest fancy wood (details at the end of the listing). £850 obo Sounds incredible and a pleasure to play from what I remember, but it's been sat in the bag for 5 years, as you can see from the dust, and deserves to be with someone who knows what they're doing. Was an impulse purchase when I got some inheritance after my mum died when I was 18 and haven't been able to give it justice, I've been getting into photography instead. Always been stored in a padded bag at the back of my bedroom so no crazy temperatures or humidities. Can do drop-off / pick up around Sheffield, Manchester, or around the north east; or can post at the buyers expense. If you've got any questions please do reach out and I'll do my best to answer where I can. Runs on a 12 volt and it's all still functioning well (checked it hadn't leaked battery acid) - but could probably do with a new set of strings Brik

Up for grabs is my Electra VS4. Great bass and I'll be sorry to see it go but needs must. Superb quality and in great shape. Theres a tiny dink on the back of the body that I've tried to photo. Other than that its spot on. It weighs only 8Lbs 3oz (why I bought it) and very gig friendly. It really is an amazing bass for the money. I can ship of around £25 and I'm sure I have a gig bag up in the loft that I'll put it in. Collection welcome and I can meet up if not too far.

Moving on this tiny but mighty Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 10T Combo. The volume and depth of tone from this thing is astonishing for it's size. I used it on a run of festivals last year as my on stage monitoring with a 5 string double bass, with a drummer and various electric folky type instruments and it didn't even bat an eye. It sounds great with electric bass too, really clear and transparent. It's an easy one hand carry, has a tiny footprint of 35 x 30 centimetres, and the head can be removed for alternative uses. It makes 175w at 8ohms or 300 at 4ohms, and has a handy little kickstand underneath to angle it upwards. It's been around the block, and has a fair few chips and scratches, but nothing major, as can be seen in the pics. Everything works as it should, knobs are smooth and noiseless (well not smooth, as they're notched, but you know what I mean), and the handle on top is solid and secure. I'm afraid I don't have anything to post it in, so £350 collected from Bushey, Herts.

Dingwall NG3-5 in stunning Whalepoolburst, made in 2019. Great condition - no dings or scratches anywhere on the body or neck as far as I can see- the only minor condition minus point is a bit of scuffing on the neck pickup cover (see pics). Recently fitted with a set of Newtone custom strings. It's a lovely bass that sounds wonderful and is easy to play. I bought it for a project that never got off the ground, and I can't see me needing a 5 string at any point in my playing future, so go it must! Collection from Sheffield, meet-up or postage at cost. Am also in Manchester fairly frequently, so could meet up when mutually convenient. Happy to answer any queries or provide more photos - just give me a shout.
