Stunning 20th av Stingray for sale. This one has beautifully rich quilted maple top with a Birdseye maple neck that is to die for. Neck is quite shallow in profile and the satin finish makes it lightening fast to get around. Overall condition is very good. Plays perfectly and buzz free with low action. Frets are perfect as are all electronics. Condition is great. It’s been very well looked after. No nicks or anything through the finish. I think a tiny mark was touched up on the back (see pic 5, just below neck plate)and possibly another on the lower bout. This work was done by a professional. The bout is perfect with no sign of ever being nicked but there is a hint of gold in the undercoat on one tiny area. You can see this in pic 6. Only other point of note is a 1 cm line in the outer lacquer under the neck joint (barely visible pic 9) These things are so minor that I’m not sure did it come from the factory like this or as I said “touched up by a pro” It comes with the original Musicman case which is perfect except for a crack in one of the corners. Weight is about average at 9.4lbs This is one of the best examples I’ve seen of these now rare basses. Note: some of the pictures make it seem lighter in colour than it actually is. I can deliver this in person to London for £50 extra this eliminates customs and import taxes Thanksi

Or 6500€ Alembic Mark King Signature Deluxe 5 string with LED Bass is from December 2015. Spec as follows: 34" - 24 fret - 19 mm string spacing. Neck of Maple and Purple Heart Ebony fingerboard with Abalone inlays Mahogny body with laminated Maple & Purple Heart Cocobole top and back Weight: 5.7 kg - sounds alot but if you can carry an old Musicman or Fender Roscoe Beck/ Warwick Thumb / Peavey T40 you`re fine. Approx. 1kg of this is actually due to the 4 ea. 9v batteries for the Led`s and the brass covers on the rear. Sure you can get a Luthier to make something lighter if required, or get Alembic to make wooden covers (known option). Volume, blend, 2x filters with Q switches. Leds in the neck with switch 95% as new with only slight discoloration of parts of the brass bridge Original case in as new condition Latest list price: 18.000 USD, Add import Tax and VAT on top of that to get it into Europe/UK. Instruments from this brand provides a truely unique life experience of "Before & After". Before - you may wonder what the fuzz is about and whether they are really worth the money. After - all that's left to say is a capital YES! The closest thing to a Steinway Grand Piano I have ever heard from a bass in terms of evenness in volume across the neck, clarity and complexity of the note in which the different wood, strings, hardware and plugging technique all blend into a note that rings with authority, and forever.And an Alembic is not only about a treble hifi sound. It can sound equally powerful like the voice of God with a bad hangover. How this bass sounds: https://youtu.be/i0OCKOeYO3c Selling as I play way too little to have something as this just resting in its case. I can take a 5 string bass in trade plus money. Shipping will likely be expensive due to insurance. For those living in central Europe, I'm willing to meet somewhere in germany for a personal handover which is included in the price (deposit required).

Built this up when I was on my P bass quest and it barely missed out on my number one spot for my go to P bass. I've gone with my Am. Perf. PJ as a slightly more versatile bass, but this P bass oozes vintage yet with a modern flair with the 2021 American Pro (Version I) neck that gets you carbon reinforcement rods, rolled fretboard edges and the new tapered shaft tuners. It's got that Pino Palladino vibe in loads....at a fraction of the price. The body is form NW guitars (American Alder) and is painted with 2 light coats of NW guitar fiesta red nitro over a nitro white primer. Although currently pristine, this bass will certainly "mojify" with use as the instruments of old have since it's done with a light nitro spray. The neck also received a vintage amber nitro coat. One thing to mention is that when I used the dremel to notch out the body and scratch plate for the truss rod tool access, I slightly missed the alignment, so it's slightly off center, only noticable if you really look closely and does not affect using a truss rod tool. And, by the way, I can include an original Fender truss rod tool with the bass. Weighs in at 4.02 kg (8.86ibs.) It's wired with a custom harness to these specs: Matched CTS USA Custom Audio Taper 250K Split Shaft Volume & Tone Potentiometers - smooth linear volume and tone change (no bunching or on/off effect) 0.022uF Sprague "Orange Drop" Tone Capacitor - removes the thinness and harshness inherent with budget capacitors Quality Jack Socket And the pick ups are '63 Fender Pure Vintage. The bridge is from an American Performer and the cavities are shielded. Strung with d'Addario Chrome flats. I use a spacer usually with Chromes as the silks are longer than other strings, hence why on the E string you see a spacer....it's to keep the silk off the saddle. All my d'Addario equipped basses have these spacers. Happy to meet near the coast (Lymington) or London area. Happy to ship within the UK as well.

I'm selling my Ibanez semi-acoustic, it's vintage inspired, very light and sounds huge. Only selling as I'm trying to free up some funds. It has recently been professionally set up with a new set of labella flats and comes with a protection racket case (£100-£150 new). Both the bass and case are in excellent condition. Collection only. Now sold.

Up for sale is my Yamaha BB614. It was de-fretted by the previous owner and has since been professionally set up (currently strung with Thomastik flats). Plays and feels really nice.

https://imgur.com/a/I7hv3WV Absolutely stunning all original Hofner Senator Bass, made in 1965 in the German factory. This is the real deal, and sounds sublime. That wonderful honky low end attack...play with a pick and mute with your palm, you'd struggle to find a better recorded bass tone!! You see so many of these without the original pickguard, but not this one, it's all there. Has just been set up by pro luthier so intonation is spot on, plays like a dream. Electronics are all good too, ready to rock. At present there is no case with it, so a handover near Oxfordshire or London is preferable. But if a serious buyer wanted to source a hard case I am not averse to shipping. Thanks for reading

Up for sale is my beloved 1974 Fender Jazz Bass. Amazing tone, incredible feel, genuine player of a vintage instrument. Bought by me in early 2006, I have owned, gigged, recorded with, and loved this bass for the past 16 years. I'm only parting with it because I have settled into being more of a Precision guy and I'd like to upgrade on that side of things. Beautiful northern ash natural finish body, one piece maple neck with pearl block inlays and white binding - classic '70s look and a real stunner on stage. 4 bolt neck joint. Original pickups, great clear tone with strong midrange character. Electronics in excellent condition. Feel free to have a listen here on an album I recorded a few years ago: https://louisewright.bandcamp.com/album/the-deep-places Neck is stable and truss rod adjusts freely. Frets are in good condition and takes low action. 1.5" nut width with fat, broad-shouldered neck profile - slightly less deep front-to-back as Fender's current AO '70s or their previous AV '74 Jazz, with a similar shape & feel. Neck is smooth & comfortable, finish has thinned in places but without rough edges. Nicely yellowed nitro finish on headstock and that iconic TV logo. The bass sports Schaller tuners (replacing the almost-seized originals) & straplocks, everything else is original. Neck pickup cover included. Body finish & hardware displays natural wear & patina, particularly around the edges as you can see in the photos. Weight is around 5.2kg - about what you'd expect for a mid-70s jazz, but a wide, padded Levys strap has made it quite ok even for a little guy like me. Price includes shipping to UK via postal service. I am happy to ship to other destinations, please feel free to contact me for an estimate for your country. Rates can vary quite significantly between countries due to the pandemic. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

John East J-Retro 01 preamp. £100 delivered in UK This is the 'flat' version. Purchased new from John in December 2021. Includes both the Fender style knobs and a chrome set. It's a glorious bit of kit but I've decided I prefer my Jazz passive with flats old school style. https://www.east-uk.com/product/j-retro-01/?v=79cba1185463

HX Stomp for sale in good condition. A few scratches on the bottom but otherwise clean. On Firmware 2.91.0 Original power supply included I have the box somewhere but cannot find it at the moment so please assume it is not included. Open to trades including: EBS Billy Sheehan, TC Corona Chorus, TC Sub n Up.

Looks like a grommet so that the silk winding doesn't run over the bridge saddle?

All in stock condition with OHSC and case candy (including PU and bridge covers). No dinks or issues, just a great playing and sounding bass. Trade for AVRI/American Original P Bass only.
