First of all, the price is low, because I want it to find a new home very fast and I still own 5 Leduc basses, but don't play this one very often, which is a shame... Leduc Masterpiece Headless 6 Fretless (HMP 628 SF), considered by many THE fretless bass with a Brazilian rosewood (cut in 1895!) fingerboard, the original Leduc EL-6 preamp with sweepable mids and active/passive switch coupled to 2 Bartolini Quad Coils 90P46C pickups! This very ergonomic headless bass is built to sound wonderfully as a fretless instrument, even simply in passive mode, think Jaco who would have needed 6 strings... Christophe LEDUC is now retired and the last retail price for a similar model with the newer Leduc/EBS EL-5 preamp and the Leduc/Benedetti single coil pickups with the phantom coil was ... €5400 Euros!!!

Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC himself as he is a friend of mine and accepted to do it. It has received 2 new batteries and is now fitted with a set of Thomastik JF 346 nickel flat wound strings (33 - 43 - 56 - 70 - 100 - 136), 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 excellent with a few tiny marks. Here is the link to the 21 photos in high resolution: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1605pQR66DussJzciB9xVnENCjocMmB0y?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury, without mentioning a painful tendonitis on the right arm, I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one. 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!

2012 Gibson Grabber G3 70’s Tribute bass in Satin black. A really cool looking bass and sounds huge. I think if Batman played bass he would definitely be rocking this one. Only selling as I think I prefer playing short scale basses. Bit of an impulse buy really! Full scale, solid maple body and neck with a torrefied Maple fingerboard, Satin black finish, single volume and tone controls with the usual Grabber pickup switching. Bridge & middle, all three, Neck and middle. Reverse wound middle pickup so all positions are humbucking with no 60 cycle hum. Weight is 9lbs5oz/4.2kgs. Guitar is in excellent condition with just a couple of small marks on the neck by the 4th and 5th frets, a very minor ding on the cutaway and another two tiny ones on the bottom rear edge (see pictures). Doesn’t seem to have had a lot of use since new and has been looked after well. Frets are all good with no wear. Comes with Gibson gig bag, paperwork, truss rod wrench and bridge cover (purchased by previous owner but never fitted). Ideally looking to sell but would trade for the following… Gibson Thunderbird Fender 50’s Road Worn Precision Fender American Vintage I/II Precision Rickenbacker 4003s Other trades considered. Located on the Isle of Wight but happy to meet in Southampton, Portsmouth or Lymington. Don’t really want to ship as it only has a gig bag. Thanks for looking!

Sandberg Electra VS4 Bass I bought this a week ago as back up for my Sandberg California VS4. It’s a superb bass - high quality, great sound and bullet proof construction. It plays as good as my German made Sandberg. It’s near new condition and set up with Rotosound roundwounds. So why am I selling so quickly? I should have done more research. This is an active bass and unlike my California VS or the more recent Electra versions it doesn’t have the push/pull on/off active circuit thing. It is a very versatile bass but not for me as I use my California as a passive bass only. So I’m hoping to move it on and buy another German VS4 or a new version Electra. It hands down beats any other basses I’ve played in this price range for quality. It weighs 3.7kgs so easy on the shoulder. I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost if you can’t pick it up in person. No trades. Selling for what I paid and this is half the price of a new one. Specifications NECK:6 bolted / canadian hardrock maple FRETBOARD:22 frets, rosewood fingerboard SCALE:34” BODY:basswood FINISH:black highgloss HARDWARE:chrome hardware/ sandberg bridge PICKUP:1 sandberg designed splitcoil PREAMP:sandberg designed 2-band, active FINGERBOARD RADIUS:14 inch WIDTH ZERO FRET:37 mm THICKNESS 1ST FRET:20 mm WIDTH 22TH FRET:63 mm BRIDGE STRING SPACING:18.5 to 20 mm SIZE FRETS:2.5 mm NECK PROFILE:c-shape

Ive had this lying around for a bit but I need to make some space... I think the body is from the late seventies or eighties and was modded for a active circuit hence the the infill Was originally black but stripped back to natural with an amber lacquer Fender bridge, Duncan designed pickups I had in a box, new plate with the film still on Knobs and a basic loom not connected, extra screws under the bonnet for the guard Can take a Fender size neck 63.5mm or so Solid piece of wood, maybe sen ash but not too sure £60 posted to the UK

A red one.
