Mayones BE4 Exotic 4 string, very early model. Handcrafted In Poland by Mayones in the late 90s I believe. I reached out to Mayones themselves with the serial number on the rear of the headstock and was told that it was a very early model. This bass is pretty lightweight and looks great. The build quality and crafting are amazing and it is in excellent condition. It features what I believe to be a mahogany/maple neck, topped with a very dark (almost ebony-like) rosewood fretboard, over amazakoe (ovangkol) body in natural waxed finish. I believe one of the craft woods in Bubinga but I cannot be certain in afraid. It has a few superficial marks in the usual places (bolt on joint, rear strap pin) as I have tried to demonstrate in the attached pics . Other than that it’s pretty spotless. The body is just exposed wood grain and the neck feels beautiful in the hand, thin but comfortable and plays very fast if that is your thing. Bridge is nice and tight and the fretboard is spotless. There are a couple of very small dings in the back on the neck about halfway down, but due to the open woodgrain on the neck, they aren't very noticeable and take away nothing from the instrument itself. Very minor wear to the frets. Headstock very good. Machine heads all clean and functioning perfectly. Very high spec hardware all round. The bass features MEC pickups, with a tone pretty close to a Warwick but a little more versatile and a 2-band preamp. The sound is tight and punchy, everything you would expect from dense exotic woods. Neck is nice and straight with truss rod working as it should, action is set low. Passive pickups and has a push/ pull volume knob to turn on the on-board active electronics. Comes with a nicely padded TGI soft case in very good condition. All in all this is an amazing bass at a great price. Collection from RH13 or contact me for a shipping quote as I’ll need to pack it carefully. Courier preferred. Insurance at buyer’s cost.

Seymour Duncan Jazz Bass Traditional 4 string. Made In Japan by ESP in the late 90s I believe. This is a super rare bass, not usually sold outside Japan from what I've been able to discover and I’ve never seen another one in the UK, so it’s probably one of the few in the country. You can find some more details here: http://www.guitarsjapan.com/ESPinfopage.html https://www.talkbass.com/threads/seymour-duncan-traditional-jazz-bass.1171173/ This is a heavy bass at 12.4 lbs (based on my home bathroom scales) and looks great. The build quality is amazing and the best I have ever experienced on a jazz bass, Fender or otherwise. I'm including a couple of links to this bass as it sits in a mix with my band. Both of these recordings are just DI recordings (no cab sims or anything else, direct into my recording interface). The full-band mix has some compression and EQ added, the raw DI track was just recorded with all the dials turned all the way "on", going through a Darkglass Super Symmetry compressor: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wwh2iuKIUV6y9AZUBMs-Frl8pangm1ge/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/16stz5S5kaUose-3AXTnqJ4XLH5TkqbfA/view?usp=sharing Very good condition, the usual dents on the end of the body where the strap attaches (see pics). Other than that it’s pretty spotless. Body lacquer has a nice thick feel and the instrument has a top quality finish. Bridge is nice and tight, fretboard spotless. One very tiny ding on the side of the fretboard about half way down but doesn’t affect playing at all. Very minor wear to the frets. Headstock very good. Machine heads all clean and functioning perfectly. Very high spec hardware all round. Hand-wound Seymour Duncan pickups with amazing tone, sounds like an US fender from the nineties. Nice and open, lovely mids, does bite when you play it hard. Passive pickups. Comes with a nicely padded Ritter soft case in very good condition. Also includes a wide leather strap. All in all this is an amazing bass at a great price. Collection from RH13 or contact me for a shipping quote as I’ll need to pack it carefully. Courier preferred. Insurance at buyer’s cost.

Time for someone else to experience and enjoy it I m happy to answer any questions many thanks Bass now sold

Recently setup with Labella Flatwound Strings a MIJ Fender Mustang Bass in Fiesta Red. The bass is in good condition for its age. A couple of small dings on the body and some surface scratches. A really lovely bass guitar but I’ve decided to reduce the size of my collection. Purchased last year from Fair Deal music, it has since had a setup and some lovely new strings. Collection from Alcester, Warwickshire. Any questions, let me know.

Hi all Price Update 11/06/23 - Reduced to £1000 - won't be going cheaper! *Would consider trade + cash against a DB751 More of the herd goes to the cull because it's just not getting played! This time, it's my 2004 USA Fender Artist Series Jaco Fretless. Bought from Andy Baxter when he was still in London but it needed a lot of love! Replaced the pickups with std Lindy Fralins. Replaced the tuners with Hipshot Lightweight Tuners because of the huge neck dive! Had the fingerboard refinished and flattened by Martin Petersen at The Bass Gallery in London because it had a huge ramp at the body end of the neck (a std Fender trait!). At the same time I had Martin put MoP dots in the std position because the clay dots on the fret lines are impossible to see on a dark stage! Also had the bridge replaced with a hi-mass fender bridge. All set up by Martin. In the interests of full disclosure, it could do with a new nut. A previous owner cut the nut very low so the G string is very close to the fingerboard at the nut end. Not a problem for me as I play with a light touch (hence not getting Martin to sort that too) but a heavier handed player might find it too low. The bass had had the pick guard, the bridge cover and the pick-up cover fitted by a previous owner so the lacquer under the pick guard has the usual holes (can get pics if wanted). However, the bridge cover no longer fits over the new hi-mass bridge. Included are all the original parts (bridge & pickup cover, original Fender BBOT bridge, reverse tuners, pick-ups plus all screws) etc to return to original, should you want to. It comes with the original Fender G&G hard case and it even comes with original US made leather thin strap! Currently strung with Chromes flatwounds 45 - 100's with tons of life. Weight is 4.2kg and it's really well balanced with the lightweight tuners on. I'm asking £1,250 £1,000 for this bass, which I think is a bargain, all things considered! (a new one, if you can find one, is £2,549 list). Cash on collection or PayPal is fine. Not keen to use a delivery service as they're crap on the whole, but it looks like a fully insured estimated for this is around £90 (with DPD). Only selling within the UK. Not looking for any other trades*. Thanks for looking.

I'm sure you are aware of these pedals so no lengthy intro needed...

Prices include delivery within the UK.

This is sadly completely unused right now so I've decided to see if there is any interest in it. It's a gorgeous Fender Japan unlined Fretless neck from 1987-88 with original tuners in super overall condition and minimal fingerboard wear. I had a P Bass shaped body built by Guitar and Bass Builds in Oxford with the following specs: - 2 piece swamp ash body - natural gloss lacquered finish - Jazz bass pickup rear routing in (from memory) 60's spacing. - matching rear control cavity. They've done a lovely job and chosen some really nice wood for the natural finish. It is sporting a Fender high mass bridge (a la Badass) and EMG Jazz pickups with wiring loom (battery on the rear cavity). The controls are VVT. Weight-wise it's 9lbs 5oz. The whole lot cost around £900 to put together and it plays superbly but is sadly just not being used. I'm looking for £650. It doesn't come with a case or gigbag, but if someone wants it couriered I'll make sure to bomb-proof and will post insured included in the price. Alternatively it can be picked up near Monmouth or Bristol, or I'm happy to meet an hour away from either.
