Thanks for posting this 👍 If you can get this on to a stage with your spine in tact, then it doesn’t get much better (IMO), proper earth shattering stuff. The folk-lore about Trace watts is true!!

Purchased this bass toward the end of last year from GuitarGuitar, here: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/pxp191018349985001--csl-circa-1970s-4-string-plexi-bass-pre-owned It’s a great example of CSL’s tribute to the Dan Armstrong Plexi Bass. Only selling as I want to get back from being a collector of basses that I don't play, I play my Nate Mendel precision most of the time, everything else stays in its case/bag or looks good on display. These short scale basses were made by fugigen, same basses carrying Ibanez name also The bass dates to the mid 70’s and is in great condition as you will see from the pictures attached. Whilst the case is structurally sound it does show show signs of age, again shown in the pictures. Price is £499 which is what I paid, I am in Ipswich if collecting otherwise £30 for delivery.

2x Vanderkley 210MNT 600W 8ohm cabs with custom Roqsolid covers in great condition. I have previously put these up at £1000 but withdrew them cos they were just too nice. But lack of space and ongoing lack of use means that this time they just have to go. I've dropped the price to £800 for the pair to try and ensure they sell before I change my mind again! Hardly used since I bought them from a Basschat member here in April 2017, previous owner had them from new and also hardly used them so these are in great condition. A few minor transport scuffs, as shown in the pics. They look and sound absolutely amazing, no buzzes or rattles just pure clean tone. If you need the specs, head over to Bass Direct http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MNT210.html where you will see these are £765 new each, with covers, so this represents a significant saving. Run as a pair, they can handle 1200W at a 4ohm so well suited to a high powered head. (And by complete luck, I'm selling a GK MB800 fusion head elsewhere - the perfect companion - as seen in one of the pics but not included in this price.) Any questions, please ask. You are welcome to try out. Collection please, Barnet (North London/Herts borders). Thanks for looking.

I'm looking to trade rather than sell. As it says, 2017 Elite Precision in Ocean Turquoise 9lb 4oz, immaculate as far as I can see. Like a few other folks I see the Ultra as a slight regression from these basses, but I want a simple passive Precision, with potential new gig on the horizon. Edit new band achieved. Happy to meet up within about 100 miles of Darlington. PREFERRED TRADES (remember, the last shop selling price of these before being discontinued was £2049). 1. Fender American Professional Precision (plus £200 to me) not the Vintage Olive colour though I'm afraid. 2. Fender Nate Mendel (plus £400 to me) I think those offers are reasonably generous, but fair to seller as well. Feedback linked below, thanks for looking.

I've been asked for photos of the case etc. which is understandable ... Mike Lull cases are attractive examples of the breed. There's very little by way of case candy for this bass, I'm afraid, not even the Certificate of Authenticity or the (completely useless) keys! But isn't that a lovely shade of blue?

Something has been thought of. Halfords - there's the answer. Socking great cartons that used to hold daft bicycles, you know, the ones made of very expensive materials and costing ridiculous amounts of money when you can achieve exactly the same thing by buying something far cheaper and ... oh hang on ... wait a minute ...

£1700. Recently bought this beautiful bass new from Camden’s Bass Gallery. It’s only been gigged once. I just cannot get a sound that suits me. Someone else will love it I’m sure. It’s so so nice to play. The price is what I paid. Just testing the water as they say. If it doesn’t sell I’ll try new pickups probably. Honestly, this bass is perfectly made and I’m sad to be doing this. I was seduced by looks alone! I think it’s the only one with this spalted maple. At least I’ve not seen another one and I’ve looked!

This is the nicest P bass I've ever had and it trounces any modern Fender in terms of looks, feel and tone. The body is lightweight at around 7 lbs (3 kg) and the neck has a gorgeous dark Brazilian rosewood fingerboard on beautiful yellowy maple that is visually excellent but feels well worn in after 38 years of playing. The neck is pencil dated 11 .1. 1982 and it has the original reverse tuners, which hold their tuning perfectly but are visually a bit tarnished and creak a wee bit when you're changing strings. This bass has been played and played and played and feels totally worn in with all the mojo. The body has a gorgeous old-style sunburst where the red and black have faded a bit in the sun, there's plenty of edge wear but the top is clean. The neck is tight in the neck pocket and I added a thin card shim to get the best action. The back of the body has a gouge by the neck plate a few other marks and lines in the finish. The tortoiseshell pickguard is the original one and looks amazing - it's shrunk a bit in a couple of places like the old ones do but it fits good overall. There are some added screw holes under the guard where the previous owner added a different guard. The pickup is the original one in a newer casing as the original one cracked (I still have it) and has just had one of its bobbins rewound by Bare Knuckle pickups so it's back to factory spec. The ground is soldered to the original copper shielding plate in the pickup cavity. The tone is thick and punchy with flatwounds but retains all the definition, drives the amp well and goes all Motown when you roll the tone off - ultimate P bass tone. Unfortunately. the previous owner lost the neck plate with the JV serial number when he tried a jazz neck on it (just bonkers huh?) so the bass comes with a similar one from a Vester bass. I thought about buying a replacement JV neck plate but that felt a bit wrong so I'm leaving it as is. A new blank plate is a few quid on ebay. The bridge is a more modern replacement although I have the original bridge with the threaded saddles but the outer two grub screws are seized meaning you can't get the outer string's action right. There's an extra two screw holes under the bridge where someone must have experimented with another bridge. The knobs look like they're more modern versions with slightly domed tops rather than the flat tops. Again these are a few quid on ebay. All in all this is a fantastic bass with tons of vintage mojo and it just oozes class from every viewpoint. It looks, sounds and feels as close as you can get to a vintage early 70s bass but without the £3k price tag. I'm gutted to have to sell it as this was supposed to be a keeper but bills are piling up. A perfect example would be over a grand so someone will get a great deal here. Comes with a Hiscox case. I'm down in Cornwall but would be happy to meet on the M5 somewhere for a quick sale. I'm open to different options and can ship if necessary.

Replied Andy. I may regret the loss of this one, but a bit of stock control is required, and I'm making way for this (which is quite blowing the socks off so far) - a '98 USA P Special now with new Cobalts on.
