Sad to see this go but I use my upright more than this and it's too nice to sit in the case. Handmade in Woodstock, NY - absolutely beautiful to play, hear and hold, this is a Veillette Archtop, which retail at over $5k. Lots more info here: https://www.veilletteguitars.com/electric_bass_archtop.shtml Mine has one cosmetic mark on the lower bout, it looks much worse in the pic than in real life, it's not flaking or wobbly in any way. Comes with the original Veillette gig bag.

Feel free to ask any questions. Ideally looking for a straight sale but may be tempted by something vintage.

For sale is my 1986 Wal MkII Fretless 5 string. This bass was built in 1986 by the legendary Pete "the fish" Stevens it features gorgeous African Shedua facings over a mahogany core and chrome hardware. The bass is all original except for the strings and it functions perfectly including the hardware, electronics and the truss rod.The fretboard is perfect and the bass has just been setup with a brand new set of Ernie Ball flats. Weight is 5,25KG / 11,57lbs Despite the fact that this bass is 38 years old it is in near perfect condition. There are some very minor signs of wear as you would expect. However I would be very confident in saying that you are very unlikely to find another bass of this vintage in as good a condition as this bass. I have made an effort to provide photos from as many angles as possible so you can clearly see exactly what you are buying. I believe that my perfect feedback is a great reflection of the honesty and thoroughness of my descriptions. This sale includes the original Wal hardcase - the case is functional and is in fair condition but shows plenty of signs of wear. If you have any questions please let me know. Price is 7275GBP or 8500€ Shipping to UK and within the EU is is 225€ - fully tracked and insured with UPS

Can't quite believe I'm doing this, but my Bergantino NV412 is up for grabs. 800w @ 4ohms, and sounds brilliant. In good condition, but has a few marks and scrapes. Comes with a cover, which is a bit tatty but does its job perfectly. I'm based in High Wycombe, Bucks, and collection is preferred but I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance to meet up. I can also look in to shipping on a pallet, I work in a warehouse, so have the necessary equipment to package securely. Only selling because I can't justify keeping this and my Barefaced, and more van repair bills have left me skint!

PRICE: £800 1982/83 Squier JV Precision that has been restored somewhat, and is far from original. I bought it about 3 years ago in a bit of a sorry state. It had been fitted with a Jazz Bass pickup in the bridge at some point which had been filled (badly) and then refinished in Fiesta Red (also badly). Whatever had been used to fill the pickup route had shrunk as it dried and left a visible gap around the edge of it. I sent the body away to David Wilson to strip it, fill the routing, and spray it in a faded shell pink nitro. He did a very good job of it, though there's an outline of the old J pickup route that can be seen under certain lights, but is virtually impossible to photograph. It's picked up some bumps and scuffs since it was refinished, the worst of which I've pictured. There are a couple on the neck and headstock which have been accrued over the last 40 years, but nothing major. The original tortoiseshell pickguard had been drilled for an additional pot, and the cutout for the pickup had been crudely filed at some point. I had a parchment pickguard made by Earlpilanz which is a perfect fit. I fitted a 65 Precision pickup from the Creamery; the wiring and the bridge had already been replaced at some point. The JV neck plate had developed a curve over the years, probably from being overtightened, but as chance would have it, I had a Squier SQ neck plate which was a direct replacement; the old Japanese neck screws were much beefier than the standard ones that most basses have today. The neck is entirely original as far as I can tell. The frets are in good nick and the tuners are truss rod work as they should. It's got a nice rosewood fretboard and is strung with Dunlop flats and plays really nicely. Weight is 4.23kg/9lb 5oz. Short version: body, neck, tuners, strap buttons are all original. The finish, bridge, pickguard, knobs, thumb rest, neck plate and pickup are not. The original pickguard and neck plate will be included. I've got a couple of brand new Fender gig bags knocking about so I'll include one of those, and I have boxes up in the loft so shipping is possible. I wasn't sure how to price it. The whole thing cost me well over a grand, but if you think I'm wide of the mark then let me know.

Fender Roadworn 50's Precision Bass for sale. Fiesta Red, Maple Neck Mexican Made. Complete with Tweed style gigbag. Happy to post. Fantastic basses these! Now looking for £895. Based near Yeovil, Somerset.

Reluctantly I'm listing this rather rare all original 32" scale JV Squier Precision. This is from the fabled 1982-1984 Japanese production run and it's clear to see why these basses are so sort after. The neck in particular has a really lovey vintage look and feel with the mottled tuners and honest play wear from 40 odd years of use. It has some knocks on the back of the neck but I'm sure these could be rubbed out if preferred. A great thing about this bass is that it features slightly scaled down body dimensions to match the reduced 32" scale. You only really notice this when it's next to a regular FSO (see pic below), but it really makes a difference when wearing the bass. It's also very light at 3.4kg/7.5lb. It's wearing a brand new set of LA Bella Low Tension flats and it sounds wonderful.

What do you do when you've had lemons palmed off on you? You make lemonade for someone. I was after a Precision body and was sold the body in the picture. It transpired that the neck pocket was shorter than a standard pocket. The attitude of the seller was basically 'get lost' and the (gratefully received) efforts of the admins was also rebuffed. I had thought I'd go down the Small Claims route, but that's a faff. Just because I bought it from someone who was hooky (wink) needn't be all bad. Here's the lowdown (wink). After the above, I have decided to take a different approach. I bought a Squier Classic Vibe 60's and have kept only the body for my project. This sale is for the body I was sold, which has a good bridge on it, and the entire rest of the Classic 60s bass, including the hardware, pickup etc. Plus, it comes in a very nice Warwick gig bag. Strings are also included. What's the catch, you ask? As stated, the neck pocket is shorter than standard. This means that the holes in the neck don't line up with those in the body. For someone not afraid of a couple of minutes of drilling, you get a nice bass (I reckon the body's alder but can't swear to it). The scale length is correct, so no problem there. Do be mindful that you will need to do the drilling, just to underline the point. There are 14 screws on the scratchplate so you will to do some fettling if you want to use the tort plate. The body is relic'd, as you see. Not the greatest work but there you go. Happy to post. I have a box and it'll be in it's gig bag and well padded. Delivery is likely to be about 25 quid. Hopefully a nice end (for someone, if not me). The price is to recover the cost of the body and is cheaper than some other Classic Vibe necks you could buy, on their own. Available to everyone, with one exception.

I’ll have ‘em then Steve 👍

Non-matching label and neck-plate serial numbers is, I seem to remember, not unheard of. Call it a Wal quirk. P
