ACG Standard J Type 4 For sale is this rather lovely (IMHO, YMMV etc.) ACG version of the classic Jazz bass, the pickups are closer to the 70s position. Don't be fooled by the modest wood choice and appearance, this is a cracking Jazz bass that I thought that I'd never sell but as I'm moving to more and more fretless playing to help with some hand/wrist issues it will have to go. The bass started life with the SEQ preamp, but after a couple of years I thought I'd go fully passive with a 4-way coil switch, so now you have the following options on top of the volume and tone knobs: Bridge p/up only; both p/ups in parallel; both p/ups in series (particularly awesome); neck p/up only. The bass weighs in at 3.6kgs (or 8lbs in old money) so very easy to use for long gigs. It’s in great condition and will come with a good quality gig bag. Very competitively priced at £895 please. Spec Strings/Scale: 4 34” Body core: White Limba with light amber/vintage stain Neck woods: 3 piece Ash with carbon rods and asymmetric profile F/B wood: Rosewood Radius: Flat Side dots: White (might be aluminium but can't remember) Bridge: Hipshot Type B black Tuning machines: Gotoh GB720 black Pickups: ACG Over-wound SB single coil Electronics: Passive plus – Vol/Tone/4-position coil switch I would be happy to deliver within a reasonable radius of home alternatively happy to meet somewhere approximately half way if you prefer for a contribution to fuel costs. A courier remains the last resort. I work from home most days so can accommodate most collection options. I would leave it to you to organise your preferred courier. There are some pics to follow below. Please let me know if you’d like to see any other details.

Perfect condition. Has rear wheels. Cover included. Postage is unrealistic I'm afraid. 800w, 4 ohms. Stands a whisker over 3ft tall. Ampeg svt4 pro also for sale in another ad. May deal against a pair of MB ninja 2x10 cabs

Fender American Standard Jazz Bass 2013 with Fender hard case. I purchased this beautiful bass new in 2015. It is a superb recording and gigging bass and the only reason for selling it is to get a short scale bass. (Hands are not what they used to be). It has been well looked after and has the usual scratches that a working bass would have but nothing serious by any means. The maple fretboard is easy to play. I currently have flat wounds on it but I can change them to roundwounds and set it up. I have changed the pick guard to a black Fender pick guard and can supply the original white pick guard that was already on it from new. Anyone who buys this bass will be more than happy with it I'm sure.

Here is my lovely 1991 Samick factory Jazz bass in lovely aged Oly White. It's more cream than white and the pictures don't really capture the colour because of the flash. The bass is in excellent condition for an instrument that is 31 years old. It has the usual light lacquer cracks near the neck pocket but this is only the paint and my camera couldn't show it. This is a lovely aged Korean bass. I love them and have 5 in total. The quality is amazing. 1991 MIK Samick factory Aged Olympic White CTS pots, Orange Drop Cap, Switchraft jack socket. Shaller machine heads Hand made by MD guitars Tortie scratch plate. 4kg on my bathroom scales so not too heavy. This bass looks, sounds and plays really well. The USA electrics do an amazing job and the original pups sound huge. It looks great, balances well on a strap and is an excellent example of a Jazz bass. You are more than welcome to come and try it out. Alternatively I'm happy to courier this at the buyers expense. I don't want any trades thank you. I'm thinning out again. I would like £275 for it please. Thanks for looking. Mike

Well…it’s being sat unused: I’ve said I wouldn’t but, trying to rationalise gear with a possible house move etc…if it’s not used, it’s gone. Beauty. Hiscox hardcase included. 1986 - Japanese. Basically what the 2024 was a reissue of, top end passive p/j. listen to ‘tragic kingdom’ and ‘no doubt’ by no doubt. Have listed at £900 with hard case - and that’s the only way I’ll ship it. I have a soft case if you want to collect, and that will make it £850. shipping in UK will be £25 uninsured or whatever your preferred courier will charge you to send insured. Anything Musicman USA considered in trade. Ace bass: will come with lots of parts for BB basses. Will take more pics tomorrow. £950 trade value £900 straight sale with hardcase (plus shipping if required)

Ibanez EHB (Electric Headless Bass) 1005 (5 string) SMS (Short Multi Scale) in Emerald metallic green. Condition is generally excellent, with a small knock to the 'head' and a couple of scratches from cutting strings. Currently strung with a set of Rotosound flats which have a great tension at standard tuning. I've replaced the plastic control knobs with some Thomann black/gold metal ones, but the plastic ones are included. The standard gig bag and Schaller S-Lock strap locks are also included. Currently fitted with a set of Aguilar DCB (dual ceramic bar humbuckers) wired into the standard Ibanez preamp with the +6dB boost. The price (£850) includes the Aguilar DCBs, but I'm happy to reinstall the standard Bartolini BH2s (included) and keep the DCBs (£725). I'm also happy to change it back to standard preamp levels which means the active/passive volume levels match. See my initial review here for more details: basschat.co.uk I'd rather arrange collection (Maidstone, Kent) or meetup (am happy to drive a reasonable distance) - always easier I think, but I do still have the original box so delivery wouldn't be impossible. Pictures are always nicer than my dry writing - see the metallic sparkle in the lovely sun!

YAMAHA TRB JP1 90s Amber Burst SOLD This is the original John Patitucci signature bass. Active EQ with mid cut/boost. This bass is around 20 years old and has been well played, so there are some scratches that i've tried my best to capture in the photos. They're not really noticeable from a distance. There is slight wear to the frets, i'd say they're about 90% remaining. Any questions I will try my best to answer.

For sale my HandBox RedFighter Bass Amplifier with a 2x 500Watt Power Section or 1000Watt Bridged UK Sale only This amp has a very nice valve preamp and a Mos-Fet output stage which is setup to deliver a detailed quality fat bass sound I bought this amp because I read the hype about them and went ahead and ordered it It arrived I was blown away by how good this amp sounds the sound is very detailed fat but balanced This amp has some lovely features it will allow you to split the frequencies between the 2 amplifiers so for example you could run 2x 15 to deal with the deep frequencies and 2x 10s to deal with the mid and highs you can set which frequencies you want each amp to cover there is 3 filters per amp works like a crossover

High quality 2 piece body bought from guitarbuild.co.uk Never been used and in immaculate condition. Price includes UK postage.

Selling my 2006 Euro 435 LX as I have 3 Spectors and I'm raising funds to try something else. There are a few small dings on the body, which I've tried to picture, but she plays and sounds beautifully. The 35" scale length is a joy to play, even in standard tuning. I wasn't happy with the non trim Tonepump that came with it so I installed the EMG BQC preamp and the difference was night and day. It still has that Spector growl but with complete control over the mids. I also installed a battery compartment on the control plate to make batter changes super quick. Comes with a Spector padded bag. Collection or meetup is preferred, but I can post for £25. I'm willing to drive an hour or so to meet up, and I have a few drivers that work for me that travel to various places. If I courier it, I will professionally package it and send insured. I'm looking for an ESP Phoenix or maybe a Mockingbird... something Thunderbird like but with a wider nut, so let me know if you have anything you'd like to trade.

Bargain! Not sure why this is still here .... GLWTS

Go, Russ, go! And it's the fastest color! 🙂

Just bought a R400 off basschat a few weeks ago and l love it. I wonder who's going to join our Handbox owners club?

Fusion Urban Bass gig bag Rain cover I bought this from new, choosing it over a Mono and glad I did - I don't want to part with it, but needs must. It provides fabulous protection, is supremely comfortable and very well designed; the sensible storage layout means a lot of accessories can be well protected and neatly arranged too. In the gig bag big league! It's in excellent condition, with just a few minor scuffs to the reinforced head and heel sections. £100. For sale only due to financial circumstances and priced to sell. Happy to travel up to 50 miles for fuel costs. Thanks for looking, Tobie

It was on the High Road if memory serves me correctly *EDIT* .... it was 396-398 High Road, Leytonstone. I remember back in the 80s a mate of mine part exchanged an old Slingerland drum kit which was knackered and beaten for pennies for a brand new Pearl Export kit. Two weeks later I went back and they'd refurbished the Slingerland and was selling it for around a grand. I told him and he didn't believe me until he saw it for himself. I did detect a tear or two in his eyes when he saw it.
