Taken in a trade and I don't know a lot about her, she is serial number 2 of only 3 made I believe and the only one that looks like a bass IMO. Passive EQ.I believe she is made of Zebra wood, with neck thru construction. Lined headless fretless with a meaty neck profile. All works as it should. Padded gig bag included. £295. Free shipping UK.

Thanks for all your interest - This bass is now **SOLD** FS/FT Status-Graphite Series 1 rare through-neck model with exotic book-matched top. Yes, it's definitely a Series 1 with the through-neck option. (The Eclipse of the same mid nineties period had a single piece curved top and the Energy only had three volume/tone/style sweeper controls.) As you'll probably know, most of the wooden necked [with internal graphite rods] Status basses were cheaper bolt on instruments with the small composite square at the bottom of the neck. This one is a very rare through neck model (which was an option in 1994). You can see how the wood through-neck build was identically constructed to the graphite through-necks on the Empathy during the same period, with a rock maple stepped design neck set into the walnut tone block, and the mahogany wings added to the sides, with a book-matched exotic wood top cap. The bass has obviously lived a life since the mid-1990s and there is some stable lacquer peel to the back, but no deep buckle rash. There's also a very small area where a players thumb-tip has worn through the top veneer when they've repeatedly perched their thumb on the top of the neck pickup. It's not perfect, but it's obviously been loved and played hard & often. The original pickup covers would have been the red branded "Hyperactive" ones, so the other "Status" branded pickup may be a replacement unit or just a replacement cover. Either way, both work just fine. Sound: This bass does the Status snap and howl very well indeed. It's very punchy and the tone is warmed by the walnut tone block. It's only a 9V preamp, but it has massive punch. Controls are Volume, Blend, and two-band treble & bass. There is also a 'bright switch' circuit controlled by a micro-switch. The 24-fret neck is utterly lovely. Fret work is excellent as you'd expect and the gloss finish has gently gone slightly satin over time. It's a joy to play. The bass has had a thorough clean and service since being picked up, and the truss rod has been tightened by a small amount to reduce the relief. Action is low and very fast as you'd expect from a Status and it's been strung with a new set of Elixir 40-95's. The preamp battery has also been changed and brand new Dunlop Strap Buttons have been added. This bass is ready to blast! Comes complete with a generic non-Status hard case. Payment via Direct Bank Transfer or cash only. Buyer to collect from DE7 in Derbyshire, or will meet halfway up to a reasonable distance.

Sterling Stingray Shortscale This is the newest version and comes with roasted maple neck with rosewood board and custom single ply scratchplate and original white scratchplate. Gotoh string retainer. The neck was originally a maple board one but it got damaged so I swapped it round with another Sterling Stingray I bought. I think the red looks great with the rosewood board. It’s very light at 3.6kgs. Scale length 30”. Excellent condition and the neck is lovely. I’m going back to long scale playing so selling off a few short scales I have accumulated. No trades UK pickup preferred postage will be around £20 if required. I have the original box.

Brand: Pasini - (Wood&Tronics) Nickname: The Rocket Body: Ash 2 pcs Top: Tiger Maple Neck: scale 35" - maple 3pcs BO (central quarter sawn) Fingerboard: 24 frets Bird's eye maple Cover Pu: Bird's eye maple Dots: Blue/gold glitter inlays PU: Pasini single coil neck, single/dual coil/single bridge Preamp: Pasini 3 way – stacked volume, Hi/Mid/Bass; Active/Passive switch, Mid switch freq, single/dual/single switch Color: blue Triumph Rocket 3, gold hand painted binding Conditions: almost like new, just a few slap marks on the pickguard. Pasini basses is directly connected to Wood&Tronics, it is always Enrico Pasini; it is a line that maintains the construction quality and sound characteristics but aimed at being more direct and immediate for the customer, with more "standardized" customizations and a more modern impact in the aesthetics. The Rocket has some more customizations, made on my request, having been among the first to have commissioned it. It was designed in pandance with my bike: a Triump Rocket 3 classic blue/cream/chrome/gold. Despite the modern line it maintains a traditional stamp, very JB; however, by activating the dual coil, it becomes a sort of telluric cannon! The playability is excellent, like all Wood&Tronics, and the weight is perfectly balanced: it doesn't seem to have a bass with an increased scale on it, but it maintains the focus and grit! Preamp is natural, and neutral, so It's not really a "Jazz on steroids", but more of an "adult Jazz" with a lot of experience behind it! Fun fact: the shape of the body allows it to be played while sitting at a 45% angle, like a sitar, maintaining a more comfortable posture, and allows you to comfortably reach the entire fingerboard. Unfortunately, due to my work and some microfractures in my wrists (due to an old car accident) that are not naturally curable, my playing autonomy is still 10 15 minutes, then my hands start to slow down (as if they had low batteries); I therefore decided to keep only one instrument, for fun from time to time. For more photos I am available, eventually I can record some short clips Semi-rigid gigbag, GruvGear leather strap + locks - included

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

Fender Mustang PJ MIM A feeler and please remove if it’s in the wrong section or if spares/repairs isn’t acceptable. I’m selling this as a spares project although it is functional albeit not pretty. I bought it earlier this year. It looked water damaged and an absolute mess. I bought it for the body and hardware and pickup parts, the plan being to strip it and buy a new neck for it. The neck had a lot of lacquer cracks and splits around the trussrod veneer at the back and headstock fascia. It needed some rewiring and a new tone pot and all the hardware cleaning with a wire brush. The finish was lifting in lots of places but there were no obvious cracks in the body - I thought about stripping it and finishing it with Tru-oil but haven’t got round to it. When it arrived I thought it wasn’t as bad as I had expected so I cleaned it up. Did the work on the pots,etc. the pickups were fine. I watched a video of rescuing a neck in similar condition and had a bash using epoxy resin. So I tried that and clamped it for a few days and gave it a light sanding to make it feel smooth under the hand. I’m no luthier, I just did it for as an experiment for fun. To my surprise the neck was okay to play and the trussrod worked and adjusted as it ought to. I have actually rehearsed and gigged with it as a spare for my old Fender Musicmaster. The headstock fascia and back has lots of hairline splits in it that I filled with titebond and clamped. They’ve been fine but again I wouldn’t really trust it as a main gigging bass. I must emphasise it’s probably best described as a Fender Mustang body (genuinely Roadworn bass) with a free neck. It’s a fun beater as is or you could put some more work into it to make it into a nice project. You could put another neck on it (I had bought a Bronco neck that unfortunately didn’t materialise thanks to a dodgy courier). The parts are all pretty decent after cleaning. It weighs around 3.7kgs. Here are pics, I can post more if there is interest. The last pictures are when I got it. God knows what had happened to the poor thing! No trades I can post in the UK.
