Sold One nice 1987 EBMM 2 band eq Stingray with Spider hard case. Plays and sounds as you would expect. As per this era the neck is gloss finish, truss rod adjustment is at the headstock and the battery cover is silver. This is a players bass, it’s in good condition for a 34 year old instrument but it does show signs of life on the road. For comparison a Fender Road Worn shows much more wear & tear. As such I’ve priced this accordingly, pristine examples go for a lot more! The pic showing the wear on the back of the neck is around 7th to 9th fret. Weight is 4.75kg or 10lbs7oz Due to many threads detailing courier nightmares it’s collection/meet up only. No trades thanks.

Sold

For sale is a really beautifully built custom 5-string in the style of a Musicman Stingray 5, by UK guitar maker Graham Pollard. Going by the date on the back of the headstock, it was made in 2002. It's a beautifully made bass, but having bought a couple of other new basses recently I need to reduce the numbers a bit, so I’ve decided to move it on. It’s in excellent condition for its age, and seems to have had very little use over the years. There's no discernible fret wear, only a few tiny marks on the body that are pretty impossible to photograph, and a couple of small chips in the lacquer on the lower edge of the back of the neck, shown in the photos below. The neck has a very slim profile, with a beautiful birdseye maple fingerboard. It's 35” scale, 50mm wide at the nut and 74mm at the 22nd fret, with 18mm string spacing at the bridge, adjustable with the Schaller roller saddles. It’s fitted with a Seymour Duncan BassLines pickup, and their STC-3M4 3-band EQ with a 3-position single/series/parallel switch. When the volume pot is pulled up, it switches in a 'slap contour' setting, with boosted lows and slightly scooped mids. The original Schaller tuners made the neck dive a little, so I fitted a set of Hipshot Ultralites which solved the problem. It now weighs in at a very svelte 3.8kg. The original tuners are included in the sale. NOW SOLD.

SOLD!! That was quick... For sale only: Carvin JB5 in natural finish with a maple board. I haven't had it long, it's lovely to play with a nice low action and sounds phenomenal, but I need to have a bit of a clear out, so I've decided to move it on. It's 34" scale, 45mm at the nut, 19mm spacing at the bridge, with bridge or thru-body stringing. I put a new set of D'Addario nickels on it recently. It weights in at 4.3kg on my bathroom scales, and sits on a strap or the knee very nicely. It has an 18v two-band active circuit with a tone control that is also a push/pull pot for active/passive. Controls are master volume, pickup pan, tone, treble and bass cut and boost (stacked). It's in excellent condition, with only a couple of very small dinks on the body, and no visible fret wear. It also comes with a rather nice plush-lined Carvin rigid gig bag. It's a lot of bass for the money! UK shipping is included in the price. No trades offers, please.

NOW SOLD Right then. I said to myself a long time ago that I would never do this, but I need to have a clear out... Up for sale is my 2007 Lakland DJ5 with a bound maple board with white pearloid block markers, in a very subtle black sparkle finish, and a matching headstock. Over the years I've upgraded the pickups to Delanos, and fitted a John East DJ Retro preamp with a separate battery box. The original pickups (Hansons, not Aeros) ended up in a project bass I sold several years ago, but the original plate with the passive pots is included in the sale, along with a second scratchplate in white. It has the standard Lakland specs: 35" scale, 45mm at the nut, 74mm at the 12th fret, 19mm spacing at the bridge, with bridge and thru-body stringing. This is one of the earlier Korean made Skylines, and as such is a little heavier than some at 4.5kg, but it really sings, and has a great openness and clarity of tone, and no dead spots, which is the main reason I've kept it all these years, as well as the legendary Lakland B string. It has a few scratches, a few very minor dings, and a little fretwear, as shown in the pics. Anyone who knows about Lakands will be aware that the Skyline range can be a little variable, but this is an exceptional example. It comes complete with a Levy's Lakland-branded gigbag.

Ampeg SVT II - often referred to as the “non pro” as it came before the current SVT 2’s but this is a different beast with a older better (in my opinion) pre amp that is much closer to the SVT’s of old. In excellent cosmetic and working condition. Revalved by myself around 4months ago so good to rock. Previous owner (Big Fish Rentals, Manchester) had this regularly serviced by local valve legend Roland Lumby. Its has been hardwired to run at 4ohms so the previous ohm selector switch for 2ohm/4ohm has been replaced with a speakon connector. Can be seen and tried in my Bolton mancave with your bass/cab or mine. Comes with a roqsolid dust cover Engaging the graphic EQ does bring a little hum. Apparently this is standard but to be honest i never use it anyway. Postage not an option im afraid but could meet up within reasonable distance Trades/part ex. Im after a decent lighter hybrid amp so would consider the following amps with cash top up:- Ampeg SVT III non pro Mesa Big Block 750 Warwick Tubepath 5.1 Handbox r400 L

Just one further gratuitous filth pic...

I don't suppose this is still available?! 😅

That's very nice. I'm not really a P-bass man, but you've got me looking at the Maruszczyk website for twin pickup versions! GLWTS.
