A glorious mini fridge in perfect working order that comes with Roqsolid cover. Shows some signs of wear and is USA made. 4 ohms cab that is thunderous and has an amazing tone but is just not getting used anymore. Has been in safe storage for a while. South Wales area but willing to courier if you arranged it. Priced to sell. Cheers, Dave.

An Overwater PJ Custom with possibly the highest spec available and some extraordinary bespoke appointments. Completed in June 2018. Poplar Burl top on a two-piece centre-jointed alder body with black pinstripe (the second instrument I've owned with the Burl and from the same log as the facing on John Entwhistle's bass). The burl is also used for the facing of the headstock. Exquisite Birdseye maple board on a flame and Birdseye neck - the timbers used throughout this bass are some of the most beautifully figured that I've seen. Black hardware including the Overwater bridge and string retainer unit. The bass is passive (sort of) but has the Overwater/East buffer circuit. This works extremely well to deliver with extreme clarity (and boost) the core tone of the bass/pickups. The bass is supplied with two sets of pickups - the PJ set that it's currently wearing (in rectangular covers) and a humbucking set in similar covers. The bass is also supplied with its certificate and spotless/as new Overwater branded Hiscox case. There's a story to this for those interested. The bass was originally spec'd by an extraordinary aesthete of this parish - this man has an eye for detail beyond even mine (and I'm really picky). It was supplied originally with a personalised logo at the 12th fret and the whole build was extended as the purchaser pondered multiple detailed additions and enhancements throughout the build process. The result of the attention lavished on the bass by both the purchaser and Chris and his team was quite something to behold - the bass was also a seriously expensive investment (really expensive - somewhere around £3400 I believe). This is where I entered the scene in late 2018. The original purchaser had a change of heart and I picked up the bass at a good price. I'd decided that I was in need of a 34" scale that could be a racing machine... (yes, I know). I'm really a short-scale player but wanted a 34" that could play as easily and as fast as a shorty. The bass was everything that I'd hoped for, but in the search for absolute perfection (we're talking real margins here), I sent the bass back to Chris to have the logo replaced, have the frets dressed to facilitate a stupidly low-action, have the nut replaced with something really bespoke in connection with the latter, and have a set-up with super light strings (35-95) and an action down to the limits. Chris did all of this to a superb standard and charged me accordingly. I hate to think what the bass has had spent on it but probably somewhere around £3750 in total. Now, after a change of heart myself and the need to pay for a fretless, the bass is up for sale. I'm not particularly sentimental about basses but this is one that I really don't want to sell. It's been a major investment of time and cash and does exactly what I want, and the body has the most beautiful contouring that I've seen on a P (something that is really important to me - take a look at the images - there's an organic quality to the carving, the body is like a pebble washed over tens of thousands of years). So, that was quite a long way to go about it, but here are the basics: Precision body with PJ or double humbucker configuration (both sets of pickups supplied) Burl poplar top and headstock facing (with Birdseye scratch plate with a black laminate) Alder body - two-piece, highly figured timber Birdseye and flame maple neck with Birdseye maple fretboard - 22 fret 34" neck Black hardware including Overwater bridge unit and hipshot ultralite tuners Nut width approx 41mm (1.62") 19mm string spacing (adjustable) Passive but with Overwater/East buffer circuit (1 x 9v battery) Through body stringing Weight is around 8.8lbs (I think, I have no easy way of weighing accurately) - superb balance Supplied with Overwater branded Hiscox case, and original Overwater CoA As above, the bass is set-up with an extremely low action and d'Addario nickel rounds 35-95 - I find these to have a fairly low tension (a particular favourite). It is around 16 months old and in absolutely mint/as new condition... apart from one tiny, extremely shallow impression on the neck behind the 11th fret. This is a short line and is impossible to photograph, though it can be felt by rubbing a finger over it - it has no impact on playability and is barely there, I just want to mention it for full disclosure. I didn't do it and it seems to have been something that occurred when the bass was back in the Overwater workshop. It doesn't bother me at all and is truly tiny/insignificant. In sum, a beautiful, bespoke and custom bass with many really high-end and very well thought-through appointments. The instrument has had a lot of money spent on it. We all know about Overwater quality and this bass would grace any stage or studio (Overwaters record beautifully and thus are the choice of many pit players and studio professionals!) I'm not a massive fan of hyperbole in adverts, though I think this bass probably merits it. It looks stunning - it's my partner's favourite in terms of looks (and she's picky). It's one that she doesn't mind seeing on a stand around the house (and I happily oblige). The neighbour's cat also loves it (mine evidently couldn't care less). I think that £1650 is probably a very reasonable price and I'm taking quite a hit at this, thus I'm pretty firm on it. I'd prefer collection from Manchester, though I can ship at the buyer's expense and risk (I can check out insurance if necessary). I can ship to the UK, most of Continental Europe and the US. Any questions please just ask. Apologies for the fairly poor quality of the images - Manchester is devoid of light this morning (indeed, most mornings). If you need any further images, please just let me know.

This is a Fender precision USA Highway One Made in 2008. Thanks for the info on that Karl. It's in great condition as you can see from the photos. Couple of light blemishes, but really nothing too bad at all. Sounds exactly like you'd expect a P bass to sound! Currently strung with flats. Comes with spare torte pick guard, that I quite like too. Apparently these are meant to come with a different bridge. I don't have the original, only this one. Neck is pretty slim. Definitely not like a baseball bat. Happy for you to come try it out. Can courier, but at the risk of the buyer! Any questions, give me a shout.

Monday morning bump! The Super Compact works great with lots of different amps. I know, I have used an Orange Terror, Mark Bass TTE500, Ampeg PF500, Ampeg PF50 with it!

US Deluxe 4 string for sale - body is immaculate no dents dings or scratches - 2017 - has had luthier work to correct neck alignment - unfortunately this left the fender factory in a bit of a state that should have ideally not passed their QA checks - the bridge was quite misaligned so much so that the G string was almost off the edge of the fretboard and the E string way too far in - it was checked over by Simon at 81guitarworks.co.uk who reset the neck but the bridge was so misaligned that it could not be adjusted and maintain the alignment of the through body holes - so to save a major faff and expense of removing the ferrules and plugging and re-drilling the holes we opted for the option of a replacement fender hi-mass bridge - just to clarify ... the neck itself was not warped or twisted in any way it was and still is absolutley fine, the problem was the lateral alignement of the bridge and poor setting of the neck into the neck pocket at the factory currently strung with a set of 45-105 swingbass and hardly played since the work was carried out earlier in the year - reason for sale is that i bought this to replace my sandberg cali which i was forced to sell - fortunately for me the guy i sold it to called me to offer me first refusal on buying it back when he decided to swap it for a change - so i got my sandberg back and can no longer justify keeping this one sat around in the box unplayed plays very well - slightly thicker/rounder profile neck than the slimline geddylee styles - active/passive with noiseless pickups - i was wondering at first what the pups would be like being a staunch wizard fan that i am but the fender N3 noiseless pups are very impressive and does all the usual jazz tones you would expect finsih is gloss olympic white - originally had a black guard but this was swapped out for a tort which looks much better with the oly white - back of neck is satin finish not hi gloss case is the new style fender case - comes with two unused keys and all the usual case candy - also will supply the original black guard and the original bridge and a set of straplocks which i dont use/need reluctant to courier this and would prefer to deal in person if possible - happy to take cash payment or bank transfer (not paypal) - viewing/inspection available weekday evenings and anytime weekends (ME7 postcode) i have rig here you can try it through or if you prefer to bring your own head i have a pair of hydrive 112's sorry not looking for any trades as am currently thinning the herd - thanks for viewing sorry but would not be prepared to sell/courier outside UK £895 update - think will withdraw this for now as nobody will be buying a month before christmas

If only I could... a 4X12 Trace Cab can surely only be bettered by two 4X12 Trace cabs. Can't lift it and my little car couldn't move it. GLWTS - the amp is a steal too.

I must admit, I don't think you can beat a set of gold hardware on a black bass.

Thanks! She is a very lovely bass but a car to get to and from work is my priority at the moment sadly... I am assuming that the "Wow" was regarding the bass and not the shipping costs though lol...
