For sale is my lovely Fender American FMT/QMT Deluxe Jazz bass 5 string, complete with original Fender hard case. It has an alder wood body, bound maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays. Year – 2002 Colour – Tobacco Sunburst Body Finish – Gloss Body Wood – Alder Neck Finish – Satin Neck Wood – Maple Fretboard – Rosewood Frets – 20 Scale Length – 34″ Weight – 4057g (4.06kg) I purchased second-hand from BassBros in 2022 (Reciept for £1,375). Since owning, I had the back of the neck further de-satined, so it's lovely and fast. I also fitted luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots (although one is just slightly distorted - see pics) and Glockenklang 3-Band preamp. Original electrics available.

Now 890 GBP delivered to your door! Up for grabs is my Moon JJ4. Ebony fretboard, brass nut, the body looks like alder... The preamp is the legendary Bartolini TCT, the original Marcus Miller preamp. Мany scratches and dents on the body. The neck is straight, the frets are polished. 4.240 kg Hard to beat (at any price) in terms of sound, playability and craftmanship.

Finally time to move on my Squier 40th Anniversary Precision in Lake Placid Blue. The bass is stock with gold hardwear and anodised pickguard, and in excellent condition. Hex Keys will be included as well. I bought this a couple of years ago as I was gigging more and wanted a solid backup to my Stingray at gigs, rather than take my old Harley Benton Jazz. I never needed it at a single gig and didn't even take it out of the case and put it on a stand (not enough room at gigs). I periodically take it out of the case to make sure it is in tune and working and then it goes away again, and the D'Addario strings are still in great shape. It really is a great bass, better QC than a lot of more expensive basses I have owned. I also think it is the prettiest bass I have owned, which has been verified by my wife and kids. One of the best things for me though, is that it is a really comfortable weight at 8.2lbs (according to my scales) which is an absolute joy for my ageing back. lt sounds and plays like a Precision should, but therein lies the issue for me. This is my third Precision now, I keep convincing myself I need one, and then realise I just don't get on with them. After so many years of playing Stingrays, I am just used to a certain hand position and sound, and I just need to give in an accept they are not for me. It is also such a shame to have it sitting doing nothing and I am not gigging much. I am located close to Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire for collection. I am reluctant to ship it as I don't have many packing materials to hand and I don't really want to risk couriers. I think there is a chap on here who will pick up and deliver and I do have have an old Hiscox case which would be suitable for transportation if you want to go down that route. Please send me a message if you have any questions.

I recently got this in a trade and as lovely as it is, I could do with generating some cash. USA Musicman Stingray short scale in a gorgeous metallic deep red colour. The bass is very light (3.5kg/7.8lb), is exceptionally well built, feels fantastic and is so easy to play! It comes with La Bella flats fitted and some rounds in the case. It comes with the wonderful scaled-down Musicman hard case that fits the bass perfectly. Collection from Margate, or I can box it up if you'd like to organise a courier.

I listed this for sale a few months back, got cold feet and withdrew it, but having not used it for almost 6-months I could use both the cash and the space As I said in the previous thread, describing this monster as a combo is like describing Live at Leeds as a gig, but both are technically correct! This to me is the dream unit for a studio where a classic but powerful all tube bass amp is needed, for a gigging player who doesn't mind humping around what is a pretty heavy unit (I keep the head in a separate case to reduce the weight), or for the home music room assuming you don't have neighbours...... Tone is glorious as you'd expect. Trade-wise hit me, I like Precisions and FLs 👍
