Up for sale is one of Japanese finest and almost never seen in Europe, a Sugi NB5 handmade by Sugi Guitars/Nick Sugimoto. You might have heard of them as they also build the bloody expensive Ibanez custom shop guitars and basses like the Adam Nitti, Gary Willis or Geral Veasley signature models. The craftsmanship and level of detail is as good as it gets. Neck Material: Hard Rock Maple x Walnut x Aqua Timber Maple x Walnut x Hard Rock Maple Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood Scale Length・Radius: 889mm (35") 500R Fretwire: SANKO SBB-207 Body Top Material: Flamed Maple Body Back Material: Swamp Ash Tuning key: Gotoh GB350S (Sugi Original) Bridge: Gotoh 304SBO-5（18mm saddle pitch) Sugi Original, Gold Pickups: Sugi Original Single coil WJ5/N, Wooden Casings Wiring: Volume x2 , Master Tone x1 , Side Jack, Wooden Knobs Color: Stained Seethrough blue Weight: ≈ 4.1 Kilogramms Strings: Original Fodera Nickels .130-.045 Case: Sugi Original Semi-Hard Case included The condition is like new, I am the first owner. It has been one of my main basses for the last two years but I do take obsessively good care of my instruments. Everything works flawlessly, truss rod, pick ups etc. and the fretwork is perfect. Love this bass but there some other priorities at the moment. Price is 2750 Euros. Shipping throughout Europe is no problem. If you have any questions, just PM me.

Fender American FMT/QMT Deluxe Jazz bass 5-string. With original Fender hard case. Alder body, bound maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays. Year – 2002 Colour – Tobacco Sunburst Body Finish – Gloss Body Wood – Alder Neck Finish – Satin Neck Wood – Maple Fretboard – Rosewood Frets – 20 Scale Length – 34″ Weight – 4057g (4.06kg) I purchased second-hand from BassBros in 2022 (Reciept for £1,375). Since owning, I had the back of the neck further de-satined, so it's lovely and fast. I also fitted luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots (although one is just slightly distorted - see pics) and Glockenklang 3-Band preamp. Original electrics available.

Up for grabs is my Moon JJ4. Ebony fretboard, brass nut, the body looks like alder... The preamp is the legendary Bartolini TCT, the original Marcus Miller preamp. Мany scratches and dents on the body. The neck is straight, the frets are polished. 4.240 kg Hard to beat (at any price) in terms of sound, playability and craftmanship.

I recently got this in a trade and as lovely as it is, I could do with generating some cash. I'm currently selling a USA P and an ACG at rock bottom prices and they haven't sold, so here we go. USA Musicman Stingray short scale in a gorgeous metallic deep red colour. The bass is very light (3.5kg/7.8lb), is exceptionally well built, feels fantastic and is so easy to play! It comes with La Bella flats fitted and some rounds in the case. It comes with the wonderful scaled-down Musicman hard case that fits the bass perfectly. Collection from Margate, or I can box it up if you'd like to organise a courier.

Here we have a lovely late-model (Status stopped graphite production in 2022) 2020 Status-Graphite S2-Classic 5-string through neck bass in A1 condition, finished in Transparent Aqua Blue Sunburst over a two-piece body with flamed maple top and faux binding. This bass has the latest 18v Status Board 303 preamp circuit with the usual cut/boost controls for Treble/Mid/Bass and a three-way micro switch for Mid Cut/Flat/Boost. You are welcome to view and try this bass by appointment either in Derbyshire (10 mins from M1 J25), or in Ashton-under-Lyne in the Manchester area, whichever is most convenient. Price is £3095. Interesting trades towards cost will be considered. Buyer to collect, or can meet half way, up to 100 miles from DE7 (200 miles total distance.)

Finally time to move on my Squier 40th Anniversary Precision in Lake Placid Blue. The bass is stock with gold hardwear and anodised pickguard, and in excellent condition. Hex Keys will be included as well. I bought this a couple of years ago as I was gigging more and wanted a solid backup to my Stingray at gigs, rather than take my old Harley Benton Jazz. I never needed it at a single gig and didn't even take it out of the case and put it on a stand (not enough room at gigs). I periodically take it out of the case to make sure it is in tune and working and then it goes away again, and the D'Addario strings are still in great shape. It really is a great bass, better QC than a lot of more expensive basses I have owned. I also think it is the prettiest bass I have owned, which has been verified by my wife and kids. One of the best things for me though, is that it is a really comfortable weight at 8.2lbs (according to my scales) which is an absolute joy for my ageing back. lt sounds and plays like a Precision should, but therein lies the issue for me. This is my third Precision now, I keep convincing myself I need one, and then realise I just don't get on with them. After so many years of playing Stingrays, I am just used to a certain hand position and sound, and I just need to give in an accept they are not for me. It is also such a shame to have it sitting doing nothing and I am not gigging much. I am located close to Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire for collection. I am reluctant to ship it as I don't have many packing materials to hand and I don't really want to risk couriers. I think there is a chap on here who will pick up and deliver and I do have have an old Hiscox case which would be suitable for transportation if you want to go down that route. Please send me a message if you have nay questions.

2015 Fender American Standard Precision Bass in the classic Olympic white/tort finish. In my opinion these play/sound/feel superior to the current USA professional basses. The custom shop pickups are really sweet. This one is in gigged condition with the odd nick on the body, and the paintwork has mellowed to a creamy tone (hence picture with random white thing for comparison). It weighs just 8.5lb and comes with a padded Fender gig bag. Collection from Margate or i can box it up if you'd like to arrange your own courier.

selling my incredible 1975 Musicman HD130 amp. Bought this back in 2021 and had a flight case made it for it straight away. Was serviced just before I bought it as well. Sounds amazing.

Trying to rationalise only having two P Basses I assume 🙂

I listed this for sale a few months back, got cold feet and withdrew it, but having not used it for almost 6-months I could use both the cash and the space As I said in the previous thread, describing this monster as a combo is like describing Live at Leeds as a gig, but both are technically correct! This to me is the dream unit for a studio where a classic but powerful all tube bass amp is needed, for a gigging player who doesn't mind humping around what is a pretty heavy unit (I keep the head in a separate case to reduce the weight), or for the home music room assuming you don't have neighbours...... Tone is glorious as you'd expect. Trade-wise hit me, I like Precisions and FLs 👍
