The odd one out in the BB range, the 1500A is a JJ 'super jazz' which features noiseless stacked single coils. It is 9V active-only, with a tone switch with two non-standard options (typically mid scoop and mid boost) which can be preset from the circuit board to define mid frequency and gain. Controls are Volume, Blend, Tone preset, Treble boost, Bass boost. Long scale, weight 4.2kg

Kay reissue of the short scale (31.25") model famously played by Howlin' Wolf bass player, Andrew “Blueblood” McMahon. Excellent condition. Very light and thumpy and with cool white art deco (?) case. In exact same condition as when I bought it from @kristo nearly a year ago as the Americana band/project it was bought for never came to fruition (common BC story ....). Prefer handover in SW London as don't currently have a box. However, willing to post at cost if given time to source something protective enough. Bit cheeky (hope he doesn't mind) but the picture is one of Kristo's (as alluded to, its not left my house or been used since I acquired it so is in exact same condition) and I attach his FS link with other pics. kvrcatalogmodern.pdf

Fender Player Mustang Bass, bought new at the end of May 2023 and has been used for two gigs since then. It has not been touched since last July. I bought it in the hope that the shorter scale would make it possible for me to continue to play despite the onset of osteoarthritis in my fretting hand. Unfortunately, this has not been the case. Condition is perfect/as-new with the original strings and no sign of wear or tear on the body, neck, or frets. The scratch plate still has the plastic protective covering on it. It is a versatile bass with Precision and Jazz bass pickups. I bought a gig bag from Thomas which is a good fit for the Mustang and will include that with the bass. I would prefer the buyer to collect or to meet them at a mutually agreed location. An opportunity to buy an as-new bass for only £500.00

Hey! Alright so, I got my eye on something and this shall be the sacrificial lamb... Been using this for a while and had lots of fun playing it. it's a PJ so nothing crazy. you already know the drill. its stated as made in USA but a few google searches mention in shares some parts made in Mexico... im not sure what the law was in the US at the time where it was okay to state made in the USA depending on the domestic parts - perhaps someone could fill me in. either way it plays and feels just as good as any US fender own. condition wise - quite good for a bass this age; its 27 years old. I used bathroom digital scales and got an estimate weight of 4.1kg but that is a very rough estimate im afraid I took an average of about 6 weigh ins with me holding the bass. Thin Jazz neck. Anodised gold pick guard. I had the frets polished and crowned at my local luthier back in portsmouth a year ago. they are still super shiny! always lemon oiled and well loved after. I gave it a deep clean and took apart the bridge and cleaned that too. also took the neck off to reveal its production date. no major dents or nicks in the finish - but does show signs of use throughout the years as you can see in the photos. The finish on the back of the neck has worn away in places and I have periodically given it a rub down with scotchbrite to smooth over any blemishes and keep the satin feel. (maybe?...) I think the previous owner had it in a conservatory for a few hot summers perhaps as some of the finish around the decals has cracked; other than that it's in great shape. it may need a new tone pot; its working but sometimes cuts out until give it a little wiggle - so for gigging I would give it a look at. could be a simple fix. collection preferred but happy to talk shipping, I would use overland express via UPS as recently did a trade with these guys and everything went smoothly. I recorded a demo of some sounds with some rusty ass playing! but its gives you an idea of its tonal character - its quite a snappy bass.

No longer a feeler… anyone interested?? Price drop to £1700 plus postage!! NEW TRADE OPTIONS! I could really do with a cash injection at the moment (house renovations costing far more than anticipated!) so if someone fancies trading a bass with a value around the £8-900 mark and can add 1K in cash, that would be a positive outcome! I can now also post if needed- get in touch for details. I am putting up for sale my Musicman Stingray 5 Special in Cruz Teal. It's in amazing condition, with original case and all candy including the plush little bag. I will post pics of this when I can plus a load more - current ones are just a teaser... @Ander87 I thought I would tag you as we had a discussion about this bass previously... It may not be on your radar however.... Anyway, I got this just before Covid and it didn't really see the light of day because of this until the past year and it hasn't done much since then as I seem to favouring Jazz basses at the moment. It is one the first SR5 Specials I believe, from around 2018/2019 (I can confirm this with the serial number), it's light as anything (much lighter than previous SR5s) due to mega light hardware and it balances great, sound like a SR on acid with the 18v preamp and generally is an amazing bass and I know I will regret it if it goes! Will leave the strap and straplocks as the bass came with them. However... So... basically, it has: A mega cool colour (cruz teal - no longer produced) Roasted maple neck and headstock - looks cool and feels great against the ebony board black hardware which I think looks great ebony fingerboard - looks cool against the black hardware 18v preamp with the standard SR5 control setup It's completely stock It has the original case and all the candy to go with it. It also has a plain white scratchplate (the original one) and a mirrored one (see pic) So... partial trades with some cash my way would be possible - I would be interested in a Sadowsky 5 string (japan preferably), or a fender Japan P-bass (70s re-issue with the TV logo headstock) or.... actually I don't know what else but feel free to try me. I'm actually selling as I am trying to buy back a bass I had built back in 2008 which I know is local to me and may be available. If that changes dramatically I may remove this from sale. Collection only I'm afraid - I don't have a lot of free time to drive anywhere so you will have to trek out to the most Easterly part of the UK to bag this bad boy. I just don't fancy sending a 2K bass through the post. I know this will limit things but I just don't want to take the risk. Get in touch if you fancy - come and have a look and try it out - will make you a cuppa and possibly throw in a digestive or two... choccy ones if you prefer.

For sale is my lovely acg Krell 4 This bass was specced by Drew at the Great British Bass Lounge and I bought it new from him. It’s in perfect condition and plays like a dream. The body wood is alder with a eucalyptus burl top & headstock facing. The neck is 34” scale and is constructed from maple and mahogany, with a mac ebony fingerboard. The pickups are acg fb and acg pb controlled with an east/acg P-retro preamp and rotary pickup selector. Gotoh tuners and Babicz bridge. This is a beautifully made instrument that just isn’t getting played anymore. Uk shipping can be discussed but local collection would be preferred. Thanks for looking

For Sale - Trickfish Bullhead .5k, TF208 and TF112. This really is a fantastic set up. It's lightweight, very portable, very loud, beautifully articulate with plenty of low end and has the best EQ section on an amp I've ever used. I don't want to sell it but I need the money. As soon as I can afford it I'll be buying the exact same set up. Pick up from Newcastle preferred! Inspections welcome at my studio so you can blast it. Cheers!

*NOW £1175* 2001 EBMM Sterling in long discontinued and much loved honeyburst with rosewood fretboard. Will entertain trades involving an American Standard/American Professional Precision Bass (rosewood fretboard preferred) or Short Scale StingRay (preferably EBMM). The bass is in great condition for its age, though there are some scuffs and marks commensurate with two decades of use. Weight currently unknown but I would estimate a shade over 4kg; certainly not heavy by EBMM standards thanks to the small body which isn’t much bigger than a Mustang’s. Appreciate that weight can be a dealbreaker for some (myself included) so I will endeavour to get an accurate figure ASAP (i.e. when my neighbour gets home so I can borrow their scales). *EDIT* Weight confirmed as 4.2kg according to luggage scales. I have the original white pickguard and screws which can be reinstalled before sale. The electrical tape on the pickup can also be removed - rest assured it’s hiding nothing more than some sharp pole pieces, but I’m happy to take some more photos of the bass in original condition if required. Also included is the original hard case which, admittedly, is in less good condition than the bass itself (see photo of missing clasp) but still provides adequate protection. Collection from Haywards Heath, West Sussex preferred, but I would be happy to deliver or meet within a reasonable distance. Any questions, requests for additional photos etc, just let me know!
