I'm downsizing my collection a bit, so up for grabs is my incredible Über Spec Finn 5 string by AC Guitars. This is the highest spec that ACG offer, with the most premium woods, the multicoil pickups and the full fat DFM filter preamp, with a passive tone knob. As with all my basses, this is 31.5" scale, which makes playing absolutely effortless, and due to the sound design and construction, there are literally nothing but benefits to the shorter scale. Here's the details... Spec Level: Über 31.5" scale Bolt-on construction 24 frets 18mm string spacing 45mm nut width Katalox Top Cuban Mahogany Body Black Accent Veneer 5 piece Red Oak/Wenge Neck, with slim asymmetric carve Highly figured Pau Ferro Fingerboard with Sapwood, wit 0º radius, i.e. flat ACG MC pickups, Multicoils, handmade by Aaron Armstrong ACG DFM filter preamp with passive tone control and active/passive switching ACG/Hipshot Custom Bridge Gotoh Resolute Tuners Currently strung with fairly heavy Nickel D'Addario XLs, but it really shines with lighter gauge Newtone Nickels, something like 40 60 80 125TW, I might have a set kicking around to pop on. I don't know the exact weight, as I don't have proper means to measure it properly, but I'd say it's a medium weight bass, maybe 8.5 lbs or thereabouts? Certainly doesn't feel heavy. This really is an incredible instrument, but I'm ultimately more of a 6 string bassist first, then 4 strings, then 5 - I know, weird. A bass built to this spec today would cost the best part of £4000, and worth every single penny. This Finn is absolutely mint, not a mark on it, never been gigged, barely even left the house. Looking for roughly £2000, ono, with a TGI Extreme Gigbag. More than happy to courier within the UK, with insurance, at buyer's cost, I'd guess this would be about £30 based on previous experience. No trades thank you, sale only. Cheers, Eude More pics...

Much loved sandberg California tm5. Original Sandberg soft case included. Plays perfectly, set up with sandberg round wounds including a tapered B string. I believe they are the 45 gauge set, just the right amount of tension in the B. Finish is not pristine, but this is the aged model so it’s not supposed to be really. There is a nice patina on the metalwork and some tasteful markings on the body. There’s certainly nothing that’s not in keeping with that character. There is dink in the neck and headstock that I don’t think came from the workshop however, and the pocket zip on the case doesn’t work anymore These are really great instruments and I would consider swapping for a vm4. I just don’t want to deal with 5 strings anymore. Price is £1200, looking for a quick sale IMG_0112.mov

Whoops I did it again! Another attempt at persuading myself that I needed and could play a 5 string! Another 4 string incoming means that this must be sacrificed. Played a few times at home and 2 or 3 rehearsals, where my lack of 5 string ability was somewhat embarrassing! It really is as new (I bought it from Peach about a year ago) , there's not a mark on it and comes complete with the gig bag and tools. Nice and lightweight and all working as it should. Strung recently with a set of light gauge Newtones Specs are here Prefer collection but happy to travel within an hour for a meetup - Essex, Suffolk, London, Herts etc. Would reluctantly post at your expense and insurance.

***PRICE DROP NOW £1300*** 2010 US Stingray, 2EQ, CAR with rosewood board. One of the limited edition 133 basses, full fat ‘ray but with a soft gig bag case instead of a hard shell job. This is in excellent condition with one very minor ding on the top edge, and the pickguard is quite marked but obviously easily replaceable. Comes with a Hipshot D-tuner (long key though instead of short… doh), if you want the original tuner key I’ll chuck it in. I’ve also replaced the pickup with a Nordstrand MM4.2, which sounds flippin’ great. She’s quite heavy (10lb) but with a decent wide strap it feels ok. ***EDIT*** now comes with the option of a Warwick Rockbass semi-rigid case - photos added. Loathe to post this but can at buyer’s (insured) expense, or can meet in person at either Portsmouth, Southsea, Southampton or Lymington (I’m on the I.O.W.)

1983 Tokai TJB75J Jazz Sound Bass Reduced to £600 Fabulous fretless playing just like it should & sounding even better. A little bit of history to how I found it is detailed in the link to the thread below, but essentially a special order 75 model based upon a Japanese lined & grooved black fretless 70 model. All original apart from the aged control plate & scratchplate along with NOS knobs. Most importantly it plays & sounds superb, but fretless is not for me any more so time to let go. A little stumped regarding pricing, as gut feeling is saying around £1000 if all original for an early Japanese 75 model in excellent condition, so £700 as it stands with the plate & control mods seems realistic *but now reduced to £600.* I’m in Bedford but don’t currently have a suitable case for shipping although I’m sure we could always arrange something if required, but would hugely prefer you to visit to have a noodle to see if it’s for you before parting with any lolly. My journey ID'ing it with Sigmania on the Tokai forum here: https://www.tokaiforum.com/threads/fretless-jazz-sound-tjb-xx.31075/ Not hugely interested in trades, unless it’s a fretted Fender or potentially a Jack Casady.
