Just seen something I want on this very forum, and it needs funds! What's good: Overwater-designed pickups, clean and clear electronics. What's not so good: A joint project with the overseas build managed by Tanglewood, who took it back (I bought it new) to rewire the pickups so they were in phase and did a fret dress. It's not light at 4.5kg ( I will double check if asked). The body finish is rather nice and still in very good order.

This is a lovely example of a Fender Japan Precision. It’s the 70s reissue model dating from 2004-05. Alder body, Maple neck and dark rosewood fretboard. I’ve seen the colour described as Sonic Blue, Daphne Blue and Seafoam Green - it’s definitely blue! This is a non-export model for the domestic Japanese market. It has a Seymour Duncan SPB1 pickup installed which came with the bass. I don’t have the original pickup unfortunately. It’s in great overall condition apart from some belt buckle marks on the tummy cut. I’ve tried to photograph these - none of them go through the finish. The frets are in excellent condition - I had the frets looked at by Feline Guitars in Croydon who levelled and polished them. The bass comes in a tweed Warwick Rockcase. Thanks for looking. Any questions please ask!

For sale is my recently acquired Maruszczyk Elwood Absolution 4 string bass. It’s a lovely instrument which weighs in just over 9lbs. As you will no doubt already know these basses are ridiculously well specified. In this case the bass has an alder body, flamed maple top, a flamed maple neck, an ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlays and an exquisite pearl binding around the neck and body. Electronics wise I believe the circuit is Maruszczyk’s own two band with a push pull active/passive control and the pickups are Delano single coils. This bass does the jazz bass on steroids thing very well and has a excellent level of build quality. As you would imagine for a bass which is practically new the condition is excellent with the exception of some tiny scratches in the lower cutaway which I have only just noticed owing to the deep black shiny finish. I have tried to photograph this as best as I can manage. Other that this the bass is immaculate. A well padded Maruszczyk gig bag is provided. I would much prefer to meet up with any prospective buyer in person although shipping can be arranged if necessary and by prior arrangement and discussion. I have a decent box to use for shipping and I am prepared to help with the costs. If you have any questions please do let me know. Cheers, Mark.

Im based in Pinner, Close to Pinner Tube Price is £400 and I’m happy to ship across UK Useful demo here, even if narration is not in English: “The briefcase was developed for the bassist who needs a high performance practice amp that does not limit their playing ability. It provides rich, deep tones that are usually associated with much bigger boxes. The dynamic mid-range and high frequencies come through with incredible transparency. The two dedicated 5 inch drivers were specifically designed for the briefcase, driven by a high current 100-watt (RMS) amplifier housed in rigid metal chassis. The ability to run on AC power or 12V sealed lead acid battery makes the Briefcase a highly portable and compact package that is truly flexible at multiple environments. Being small, clean and powerful, it is also a great amp for musicians who seek a natural reproduction of their instrument. It’s an ideal match for upright basses. At 30 lbs and 100 watts, the Briefcase easily handles the low E string and can even accommodate the low B! 5-band EQ lets you dial in the proper tone. A variety of outputs allow you to practice in private, expand your sound with an extension cabinet when needed, or go direct to a mixing board. The Briefcase is great for both electric and acoustic basses.”

So I was asked by a mate of mine down in darkest Cork to source a Geddy Lee Jazz bass to take over with me when I travel this weekend and I found this corker (ahem). Anyhow, so did he, right on his doorstep and in his excitement he forgot to mention it until I had taken delivery of the Jazz. I want to move it on quickly as I don't really get on with Jazzes and having played this one briefly I am starting to want to keep it.... It's an early Mexican Geddy Lee from 2014 with the original Badass Bridge, not the Fender branded one. It comes with the Fender gigbag and all the tags etc. and is in excellent condition for an eight year old bass (especially a black one). It plays superbly and weighs in at just under 9lbs. Build quality is excellent and easily as good as any Japanese Geddy Lee I've seen (it weighs a lot less too). The body is alder for those of you inclined to ask. I am looking for £800 deliveted. No trades please.
