Warwick Streamer Stage I Year – 1991 Colour – Purple sparkle/metallic Body Finish – Gloss Body Wood – Maple Neck Finish – Gloss Neck Wood – Maple Fretboard – Wenge Frets – 24 Scale Length – 34″ Weight – 9lbs (exact) Electronics – Active 3 band MEC Pickups – MEC PJ Condition - excellent with no visible marks of note and all electronics work fine. This was a custom finish (factory) and on the rear of the bass under the clear lacquer to coat is the legend ‘This instrument is a property of Warwick, Germany’. It was used at NAMM and also as a demo bass for Warwick artists/endorsers. The sound is just about as big and clear as you can get! Only trade might be a light weight Sandberg 34".

Excellent condition with no issues. I'm just not playing short scale basses any more. I also have the unused string mute. 780mm scale (about 30.7”) 17mm spacing at bridge 1.4” wide nut Alder body with Indian Rosewood fingerboard Tortoise pick guard options 2 Nordstrand single coil chrome cover pickups 4 push button pickup selector switches (including “all in” series mode) 4 tone selections including flat, traditional tone roll off, heavy tone roll of, and mid notch Very light weight – 3.18kg / 6lb 15oz 2 way spoke wheel truss rod adjustment Compound radius for excellent playability D’Addario Nickel Round Strings Proprietary custom US Hipshot bridge Proprietary custom licensed Hipshot oval tuning machines.

Excellent condition for a 30 year old bass, with no issues. Classic Musicman Stingray style bridge with mutes. One of those basses that is so good that I've owned it twice! Only point of note is the 2 small holes in the pickguard where someone mounted a thumb-rest. Weight is 9lb (exactly) or 4.1kg. The neck is less wide and less 'full' than a Stingray neck and is often compared more to a Jazz profile than say a Precision. This is the earliest version with the metal battery compartment cover. Trades - 34" Sandberg... possibly.

Hi all, I'm selling this beauty as it's been sat in its case for too long doing nothing. It's been gigged a few times, but not since before 2020. There are a couple of minor dings but you have to go looking for them to see them. I bought it new from PMT Salford in 2015 and still has all the original case and goodies, all included in the sale. I changed the tuners to Gotoh, which still have lollipop keys as the originals, the only difference is the originals had Fender stamped into them. Strap buttons were also changed for locking ones, I'm including the strap locks in the sale too. Currently strung with D'Addario flats. Collection preferred but can courier at buyer's cost. Please let me know if you have any questions or want any more photos. Thanks Tom

REDUCED FOR THE LAST TIME. HAPPY TO KEEP IF NECESSARY AS IT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE WITH FLATS!! For Sale, my as new Sandberg California VT in shell pink. This bass was purchased a few weeks ago and is stunning in every respect. I have changed the strings for Labella Low Tension flats which sound fabulous if you like that old school vintage sound. Whilst I haven’t got scales I can assure you this bass is exceptionally light. I guess it’s around 8lbs, maybe even a little lighter. Bass Direct have one in stock at the moment which is almost identical at a little under £2200 and under 8lbs in weight. I have never really been taken with aged looks but this is very subtle indeed, the description ‘soft aged’ is very apt in this case. You may wonder why I am selling this wonderful instrument. Well I am a casual player and already have a custom Alpher bass and clearly having two high quality basses is overkill in my situation. I have no interest in collecting so I have decided to let this one go even though it is only around 6 weeks old. If you like this type of look and want a virtually brand new instrument for a substantial reduction on the new price please get in touch. The bass comes with a quality gig bag but unfortunately I have no box to ship it in so it will have to be a meet up or collection to hand the bass over in person. Will consider trades for short scale basses particularly Hofner Club, Verithin or Violin Bass, Sandberg Florence JMJ Mustang, Serek, possibly a nice 5 string or lined fretless preferably with cash coming my way please. If you have any questions please do let me know. Thanks for looking.

Now sold The CFO and I have just come out of a bilateral meeting where a number of topics of mutual interest were discussed. Theses topics included: Balance of payments Import / export regime Tariffs Apparently I have imported quite a few basses and guitars into the house and the number of basses and guitars exported has hit an all time low of zero. This apparently means I am running a significant deficit. Due to this deficit the CFO is looking at imposing tariffs of circa 125%, such that a £500 bass attracts a tariff of £640 payable to the treasury, aka her bank account. She presented a number of options that I apparently have agreed to. Not saying anything anything as it could be taken the wrong way, clearly indicated my consent. She backed this up with leverage of me sleeping in the attic or the spare bedroom, my choice. I have no idea where she got these ideas from, but she has been paying a lot more attention to US news recently. I explained to her basic economic theory re balance of payments and who really pays tariffs, but I only received a stern look in return. This is the Harley Benton Deluxe Series active bass. This is a lovely bass but the neck and I don't get on. My thumbs are knackered from rugby and it's slightly too thick and it's painful after 15 mins. I brought it from a fellow bass chatter a few months ago but I have to recognise I need thin necks. So I've built myself an active Jazz with a Fender neck and a John East pre-amp to take it's place. Again it's a great bass and my thumbs do not do it justice. It's in good nick and as with all Harley Benton stuff its great value for money. I paid £95 but will take £80 for it. There is no case per se for it. The pictures make the neck look grubby , thats just the grain. I'd really, really, really rather not post as the postage costs will be high for what are cheap bass guitars. I am happy to meet people within an hour (ish) of Settle in North Yorkshire, I can Leeds or Manchester if necessary during the week as I work there. York is also possible. More than happy to look at swaps or trades. With cash either way, I'm looking for a decent small 6,8 or 10 channel mixer with USB in and out, or a decent FRFR speaker such as Headrush 112, a Boss Katana 100 MK2 combo amp or similar. Or something else that's interesting. I have enough guitars and basses (according to the CFO), so unless it's a 62 Precision or a Strat, that’s not going to fly. I have more IT than I need so nothing on the IT side at all please Thanks for looking Rob

Hi all I've decided to try to sell my Vintera II. I bought it from GAK back in June last year and sadly it has been sat on a stand for the best part of the year, as I cannot get on with the early 60's C profile neck. There is not a scuff, scratch or ding on it as it has hardly been touched. It is an excellent bass, wearing La Bella Low tension flats, that deserves to be played. I'll take more specific close up photo's if requested. Price includes postage.

Here's another gorgeous guitar I finished recently. Price includes insured delivery within the UK Allparts neck finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer. Dark rosewood fingerboard. Bone nut Gotoh Kluson style tuners with staggered posts. Monteray artwork body with the correct upper horn rose wrapping over the edge of the body. Monteray artwork pickguard Monteray inscribed rear trem cover. Hendrix head neck plate. Replica fabric sticker on forearm chamfer (same as on the Fender Custom Shop models) Custom wound pickups Full size under pickguard shielding plate. CRL 5 way switch CTS pots Switchcraft output jack Vintage era style tremolo Fender parchment pickup covers, switch tip, trem tip, and control knobs. Fender Wrangler Denim covered hard case, with cream plush lining, and pink and blue Paisley on the underside of the case compartment lid. Go on, treat yourself.

Fender Musicmaster Bass 1971 This is the rarer first issue of the Musicmaster bass. This is the baby of the Fender range of this era and has a 30” scale. This early version has the smaller logo and model name with the distinctive hooked R. The tuners are original with the tulip shaped keys, later models had Schaller types. The neck is nice and easy to play, it has a lovely dark rosewood board and 19 frets. Truss rod works as it ought to and the action is low and comfortable. It also intonates very well for a two saddle bridge shorty. The bass had been modded years before I bought it and had been routed for a reversed Precision bass pickup rather than the original rather weedy sounding Strat pickup. I swapped the pickup for a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder as the fitted pickup was in poor condition. I also removed the ‘choke’ from the original wiring circuit as this was probably used to make the original Strat pickup sound darker. I will include the choke with the bass. The pots and Bakelite knobs are all original. The scratchplate is one I made. It’s rather rough but does the job. I have the original one but it has been modded to accommodate the P pickup and the original pickup cavity patched. I’ll include this of course. The finish is original with lots of dings, touch ups, crazing and darker patches where stickers have been removed. It has had a long life as a gigged bass. It looks great because it’s been played and loved. I’ve personally used this for all my gigs over the last year. It sounds punchy and has a surprising tonal range. It’s light at around 3.7kgs and very easy to play. I’m selling because I’m getting back to playing long scales. I don’t want trades sorry and it’s UK only. I can post at the buyer’s expense and/or arrangement. I’ve included pictures of the original scratchplate and a template I made, plus the choke and wiring before I removed the choke. All are included. It came with a quirky home made padded bag as pictured. I’ve dropped the price to encourage a quick sale. Vintage Fender at a MIM price.

This is a great Stentor Elysia bass. It’s a relatively small 3/4 bass, making it ideal for someone smaller of stature or who prefers a smaller bass. It’s in excellent condition and comes fitted with a nearly new set of Evah Pirazzi Weich strings. (Used for about 4 weeks) There’s a superficial scratch on the top rib which has been checked by a luthier (pictured). The bass doesn’t come with a case. It’s a hybrid bass with a carved front and back. Fingerboard is ebony. Sounds fantastic to me. The adjustable bridge works well and can be raised and lowered to give a great action. It’s currently set higher for orchestral playing. The bass is covered in a shellac lacquer which provides a great finish, but is prone to scratches and chips. It’s all character at the end of the day. The price is £1200 with the new set of Evah Pirazzis. With a set of Spriocore Welchs it can be yours for £950. This is a huge bargain for a lovely bass, and is the price I paid on Basschat. It’s advertised elsewhere for a little more.

This was donated into the charity I volunteer at. It's a 3/4 size model Yamaha...no idea of the year. I was giving some consideration to keeping this as a travel guitar, but no. I've given it a bit of TLC, oiled the neck, given it a decent clean and put on some newish Martin strings put on (which alarmingly, the hi-E - fresh from the pack - has got a bit of rustiness on it!). There are a few small marks on the thing, but it's not had a hard life. The legacy Yamaha details state it's a spruce top with a mahogany ply/veneered body, mahogany neck. It plays nicely enough, very bright tonally. Stays in tune. Padded gig bag, zips all work. I'll happily sell at £100.00 for pickup or £110.00 shipped in the UK - all proceeds will just go back into the charity. I will consider sensible offers, but come on, it's a charity sale!

Here's your chance to grab another of my builds. Price includes insured delivery within the UK Allparts neck with rolled fingerboard edges, and smooted fret ends, for a really comfortable playing feel. Finished in ultra thin nitrocellulose lacquer. Gotoh Kluson style tuners with staggered posts. Bone nut Neck plate with same serial number as on David's black Strat. Alder body. Custom wound pickups to match the magnetic types, bobbin colour, wire type, and coil resistance, on each pickup to match the pickupntypes used by David. Gotoh Wilkinson VG 300 tremolo to provide a vintage look, but with greater stability compared to a 6 screw vintage trem. Mini toggle switch, mounted flush to the pickguard surface, to add the neck pickup in any selector position. CRL 5 way selector switch CPS pots Switchcraft output jack Comes with the Gilmour / Hendrix suede leather strap. Comes with deluxe padded gigbag. Go on, treat yourself!
