I bought this off eBay recently as a "rawk" replacement for my Rick but have decided to stick with the latter. So for sale is this amazingly good condition 2015 Gibson SG Standard Bass in Heritage Cherry. Usual 30.5" short scale and weighs a super light, shoulder friendly 7.5 pounds. Note: 2015 was a special one for the SG bass as it came with a number of upgrades which have since been dropped, presumably for cost cutting reasons. These included a Babicz full contact bridge, thicker rosewood fretboard, limited edition gold case and pearl inlays. Pickup from SW13 London (south of Hammersmith Bridge) or post at cost (UK only) via UPS (probably about £30). Comes with case and case candy (certificate of authenticity, case key, truss rod wrench, factory photo, warranty card etc.) Currently wearing Dunlop flats but I can swap out for the stock nickel rounds if you prefer. Firm price of £850, which is what it owes me, and no trades, sorry.

**** Postage Available ***** For sale is a mini James Jamerson style short scale (30 inch) Precision. A 2007 Jim Deacon - basically a rebadged SX, as SX were not officially sold in the UK. These were made in the same factories as the SX, only branded Jim Deacon for the UK market. This has the nice “Fender” style headstock. SOLD

For sale only (no trades) I recently bought this rather nice, unusual and rare Japanese built Headless bass from @Burns-bass on this forum. I like it a lot, but I've just bought another bass, and I'm sticking to my "one in, one out" rule as I promised Mrs_S on pain of death that I would! Lol It's superb quality as you'd expect from Japan in the 1980's (its 1986, I think?) In great condition with one chip in the paint on the top back edge, about 3mm diameter. Great "thump" sound, fitted with Fender flatwound strings. It came fitted with a set, but I fitted some brand new ones, and I've become a fan of these strings. Set up with a fairly low action. It plays nicely. It has a narrow and shallow neck which is very comfortable to play. It's very light - a shade under 3.5kg if my memory serves me. Also comes with its own Yamaha Hard case made for this model. The case is also in great condition. Collection from Cardiff (or I may travel a bit). Would prefer not to post. Price is firm - this is what I paid for it.... plus you get the new strings. These are pretty scarce in the UK - so grab it before my other stuff sells and I change my mind.

Nothing to see.

Very reluctant sale as I love this bass, but I only need one these days and my other one gets slightly more play time. I've had this since it was built in 2015, it is parts so I'll list what it's made up of and the cost of those parts Body, control plate, knobs, pickguard, and neck plate are from the very popular squier short scale jaguar, was about £220 for the original bass, so say about £120 for those bits Neck is made by the brilliant luthier Jon Shuker and was about £350, excellent quality neck, most stable of any bass I've owned, perfect fretwork, great finish, and Jon made a nice brass nut for it. It's got carbon fibre reinforcement rods, and dual action truss rod that's fully working and very smooth. 50 year old Indian rosewood fretboard. Truss adjustment is at the heel like an old Fender. Schaller lightweight tuners were £90 DiMarzio model p and j pickups were £90 Wiring and pots were installed by Jon Shuker, don't know what brand he used Gotoh 201 bridge was £35 It's got Dunlop strap lock buttons installed. Strung with new D'Addario nickel rounds 40 60 75 100, and I also have two or three spare sets that I'll throw in for free. Scale length is 30.25", action is low and it practically plays itself. The neck dive normally present on this style of bass has been very much reduced by the scale length and bridge/tuner mods, it's not completely gone, but with a good strap it's absolutely not noticeable. Total cost was £685 so £450 seems like a fair price. No case so meet up preferred - Gloucester area but can travel up to an hour away EDIT: Just been asked about the weight, I should have added that originally 😅 it weighs bang on 7lbs EDIT2 - at the out of hours vets with a great big bill, lowering price to help shift this bass EDIT3 - now sold, thanks

EBMM Stingray Classic V Purchased at the beginning of the year (see other NBD post) Absolutely lovely bass in great condition (bit of rust on the top two pup cover screws) Sounds like a Stingray would if it have 5 strings! Selling to fund another Overwater. Pickup, meet or post (at cost)& organisation of buyer) is all fine & I have the OHSC too. Open to sensible offers too but no trades.

My Mex Special P/J hasn't gone yet, whichever goes first, the other gets kept. This is the one where they came standard with the Custom Shop '62/63? pick up ( I can't quite remember which year). The colour is a pig to photograph and under stage lights can be anything from black to white. Lovely dark rosewood board. Superb condition, sorry, no offers, no trades, this series doesn't come up as often as you might think. Weight 8lb 12oz, original mint green plate, hard case & all case candy included. Sad to see it go but it doesn't get used (I only use Jazz profile necks now). Feedback available, thanks for looking.

All valve monster up for sale - a real powerhouse amp. 300w and a quite manageable 24kg. Bought from @binkybongo on here a couple of years ago, has seen a few gigs in its time but remains in excellent condition. I cannot confirm how fresh the valves are but it sounds huge and performs as it should. The only fault it has is that it has an LED out on the back (part of the biasing system.) I do have the part number to replace this but never felt the need. Comes with a nice Roqsolid cover that I forgot to photograph (d'oh!) Any more questions or pictures, please ask. I won't courier as I don't want it to get damaged. You can come by my rehearsal room in Leicester if you would like to test it or I am willing to drive a reasonable distance outside of Leicester (say an hour or so.) Thanks for looking.

They say... Sterling by Music Man, is for players seeking Music Man vibe and performance at a more affordable price. The SB14 is an accurate version of the popular MusicMan Sterling model and made without compromise in craftsmanship and materials. Each instrument is inspected, setup, and actually played before it is released. The Sterling SB14 has a basswood body that delivers warm tone with great sustain. Like the Music Man model, the smaller body is comfortable and easy to hold during long gigs. It features a Music Man-designed active preamp that is dead quiet and allows precise cut/boost control of bass, mid, and treble frequencies. The Music Man-designed bridge has thick saddles for stability and precise slotting that guarantees no sideways string movement during heavy playing. SB Series bass pickups utilize a 3rd hidden coil for hum cancellation. You can also switch from single-coil or humbucking mode and get all the tonal goodness without the hum and noise. Sterling by Music Man SB14 Bass Features Body: Basswood Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood 21 Frets 6-bolt MusicMan designed neck joint Pickups: MusicMan Humbucking with ceramic pole pieces and hum-canceling phantom coil MusicMan Designed 3-band Active Preamp: Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass MusicMan Designed Bridge with stainless steel saddles 34" scale Open gear heavy duty tuners Spoke Wheel truss rod adjustment This is 'probably' the best copy that Ernie Ball/Musicman have done of one of their own basses; it mimics a USA Sterling bass pretty closely. Condition is excellent and no dings or dinks that I can find. Comes with a gigbag (not Musicman). Happy to ship it if the buyer pays full insured courier costs. 'Possibly' take a trade on it but... PLEASE do not message me with bits of kit that I can clearly find on BC / eBay / FB for £200 and tell me it is worth £1000, I'm not daft and I know how to search for relative values. Likewise '1 off' custom orders that you may well have paid £3000 for but sadly the average bassist values at £500, I can't give you £2000. Sorry it is better if I'm just up front about it rather than waste anyone's time. Vintage Warwick basses will always float my boat, likewise unusual esoteric brands, so I'm happy to put money to a trade that interests me. I'm partial to a light weight bass so anything that you 'estimate' to be over 9lb (and will likely be 10lb+) isn't of interest. Be sure to message me with offers and not directly on this thread.

The hard case is in store atm. I'll collect it in a few days and photograph it then. Forgot to mention, this bass is fitted with a push-pull coil-tap control.
