Ibanez Roadstar II 1981 Japanese made bass with original case. This is the early 80’s Ibanez version of a Precision, the difference between this and some Fenders of the same era is that this model doesn’t weigh a ton and costs about a quarter! This is a lovely bass in its own right, simple passive volume and tone, split pickup and a nicely proportioned neck. It weighs 4kgs and is in pretty good condition for its 44 years. It plays very well and sounds like you would expect. It’s all original apart from the strap buttons which were changed years ago for strap lock types. This was prior to my purchase so I’ve no idea what happened to the originals. There are some dings to the body and some small blemishes to the neck. Truss rod is fine and works well, frets are in good order as is also the pickups and hardware. I got this in a trade and it owes me £495. Classic black and maple looks which I love, sadly the slightly wider than a P bass body is uncomfortable for me to play so it’s not seeing any action. I’m getting rid of any basses that aren’t being played regularly that hold no sentimental value. Sorry no trades unless you have a Sterling SB14 or a US Sub Sterling then possibly. It comes with what I was told is the original case. It’s certainly of the same era. One clasp is broken but it still does the job. Great vintage MIJ Precision alternative at a decent price. I’m sure it will bring back memories for some of you. Prefer pickup but can post in the UK only at buyer’s cost.

I've been an afficianado of 1970s WEM combos for many years but my on-going de-clutter requires me to cut down to just a single unit (a Clubman, since you ask) which means that these two lovely things are now on the market. Both are 50-year-old combos that have lived a life so, although they are both in very good condition for their age, neither is pristine or as-new. The Dominator (on the right) is deffo in better cosmetic nick than the Westminster (on the left) but both work perfectly and exactly as their maker intended. Both sound excellent regardless of what you plug through them - bass, guitar, keys, Mongolian nose-flute. WEM DOMINATOR 25, late 70s, £600. Arguably one of the finest products of the British valve-amp industry, the Dominator was always in the running for nearly 20 years straight. Read all about it here: https://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/britamps/watkins/dominator/dom19.html Often described as a 15W amp, this was in fact more nearly 17W (which is why Mo Foster chose that as his title: https://www.amazon.co.uk/17-Watts-British-Musicians-Sanctuary/dp/1860741827). Mine is the truly wonderful Dominator 25, which is also a truly wonderful piece of Marketing tosh. The '25' was neither 25W nor did it sport a 25" speaker ... it was uprated from the standard Fane 12" speaker on a Dommie to a 15" Celestion to make it sound even better for bass. The '25' thing was the WEM Marketing Dept's equivalent of, "yeh, but this goes to 11". Twin inputs means you can plug in two different instruments simultaneously, or come up with all sorts of weird bi-amping scenarios to puzzle your guitarist with. All original and unmolested. So what does it sound like? Well none of Zoom's excellent product range can really capture just how good this sounds in the studio (or live), let alone the gorgeous, creamy valve break-up at very sensible volumes. If you want to experience that then you'll need to come to Harrow and plug in your own bass. But here's a crude approximation ... Maya into Dominator.mp3 Any excuse to show off my God-like abilities on bass, eh? Shafty into Dominator.mp3 WEM WESTMINSTER, 19777/78, £400. The Dominator was top of the range and not everyone could afford one, so the Westminster was always the better seller and went through far more cosmetic 're-fresh' experiences. Mine was a very short-lived variant in terms of looks, only being made for two years. Read about it here: https://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/britamps/watkins/westminster/west13.html Still twin input for all those pub-rock gigs back when that was a new thing, usually starting just after the stripper had finished. Notice the economy measure of a single set of controls, though. Side-mounted carry handle is very practical. Again, all original and unmolested. If I could play guitar then I'd have used that for these sound clips - the Westminster handles bass perfectly well but it's always going to come off second-best when compared to the Dominator 25. Shafty into Westminster.mp3 Put a guitar through this, though, especially something over towards the Les Paul end, and it's something else. Maya into Westminster.mp3

Lovely Yellow Epiphone Newport bass in great condition. It has had the recommended mods done ie Phase corrected and the neck pickup has been levelled and adjusted so no string pull that causes fret buzz on this normally. Set up nicely and Fitted with flat wound strings, balances well and plays and sounds great -- any trial welcome. No Gig bag or Case so Ideally collect only from me near Selby or can possibly meet up locally.

Excellent condition DCX Bass... hardly used. Price includes UK Special Delivery.

Decided to put up my awesome (and unfortunately no longer made) Spector LT5 in Violet Fade for sale. This has been my main touring bass for the last two years and has seen some action at Glastonbury, Green Man and many more festivals that I can't even remember! Despite being my main bass I have really looked after the bass and it's in excellent condition. No dings or dents just light surface scratches that every guitar gets from being played! The bass has a 3 piece maple neck with alder body wings and a very nice flamed maple top, which is almost holographic and almost impossible to photo! 😂 The bass has a very nice ebony fingerboard, MOP Spector crown inlays, Gotoh lightweight tuners, brass nut, Dunlop straplocks, Custom wound to Spector spec Bartolini pickups and Darkglass preamp, and thr finish is so good it's ridiculously reflective and shiny.. again making it difficult to take good photos! The bass plays very nicely and sounds phenomenal. The bass is 35" scale and the low B is the best I've experienced on a high end bass. Currently strung with Dunlop Super Bright Steels. Sale includes the Spector gig bag. Looking for £1800 due to excellent condition and I think collection is needed. I have the boxes it came in but I don't feel comfortable shipping it without a hardcase. Price drop to £1650

Great bass in excellent condition, with just a few minor dings. Plays and sounds wonderful. Nice and light at 8.3lbs, with a 32" scale. Set up with rounds but I’ll also include some used Labella flats and a gig bag. £900. Collection from Beccles, Suffolk much preferred, but can post.

Now that is how you advertise something for sale...
