Thanks ET. I put the fretless neck back on it last night and it's a real wrench to see it go- it plays beautifully. I spent at least five minutes just doing slides up and down the neck in the style of many a 70's cop show! The neck is quite shallow front to back so very comfortable to play.

Some interest but nothing firm yet. For the money, this is an absolute steal - not one of the MBE range, but a proper, full-fat, Neo-driver'd 600w beast of a cab!

Bump for price reduction.

Some interest, but nothing firm yet... Ba-doink!

Couple of dodgy phone pics:

Hi, A couple of very quick phone pics under dodgy electric lights: Phone flash does tend to accentuate how bad it looks in the second pic, but it ain't winning any beauty contests!

Now sold. CIJ P-Bass still available though!

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It is with great sadness that I find myself having to sell off the majority of my bass gear. Essentially, I'm not playing, and don't really have the time to find another band to play with, plus the car's just required major surgery, so it seems somewhat silly for me to have all this great gear just sitting in cases around the place. Anyway, I digress...[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For sale is my Gallien Krueger Neo 2x12 cab.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]It's a 600w 8 ohm cab. It's been very well used - there are dings and scratches in the tolex, and the castors are a little ropey, but still sounds great. [/color][/font] Because of this I"m looking for £250 for it. **edit - now £175** I'm afraid there's no prospect of posting it, so it's collection from Bath/Bristol only, sorry.

Anyway, I digress...[/font][/color] **edit** It's been brought to my attention that these are going for well below cost online, and that my first valuation didn't compare all that well with it. Price now reduced - save over £120 on lowest online price - silly money for an amp as capable as this! For sale is my Gallien Krueger MB500 amp. It was bought from eBay and it's never missed a beat. 500w micro-amp, only gigged a couple of times. Cracking little thing. Comes with a footswitch to change channels between clean and dirty.

The focus is crap too.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've roughly weighed it with the Squier fretted neck on, and it's about 9lbs, so without the heavier neck and fret wire I'd say Nick's suggestion of 8.5lbs is eminently feasible. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It has a small ding on the neck at about the third 'fret' - it's never bothered me but I would have thought it could have been easily drop-filled if needs be. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There are assorted dings from Nick's ownership - I've not gigged it and it stays cased when not have sporadic home use. It's fitted with the SPB1, and I bought a Dimarzio Ultrajazz that I was going to fit but never got round to, if you wanted to convert it to P/J, which I can include for an extra £35. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The fretless neck has always been used with nylon wrapped flats whilst in my care, and will come with them.

It is with great sadness that I find myself having to sell off the majority of my bass gear. Essentially, I'm not playing, and don't really have the time to find another band to play with, plus the car's just required major surgery, so it seems somewhat silly for me to have all this great gear just sitting in cases around the place. Anyway, I digress... For sale is my Fender MIJ '62RI Jazz bass in faded Sonic Blue. The finish is more like a faded Surf Green, but I'm assured it's Sonic Blue. It comes with a Red Tort and a sort of mint/parchment pick guards. I purchased this from here a while back (can't immediately find the original FS thread, sorry) and it had been fitted with a set of Nordstrand pickups - NJ4 hum cancelling if I remember correctly (but could be single-coils - it doesn't hum though!). I added a Badass and a J-Retro preamp (which was professionally-fitted) and it's been like that ever since. The body has a number of dings which I've tried to show in the pics - the worst being through to the wood on the bottom edge. Most of these pre-date my ownership! There are some nicks in the top of the headstock - some were there when I got it, but the most recent was me taking it out of its case to photograph it - doh. It plays like a dream, the preamp giving the usual passive Jazz tones but also a boosted take on the Jazz sound - it's versatility means you can get the classic slap tone, a Marcus-style sound, and also a very passable P-bass sound from the neck pickup. Basically a very versatile bass that plays beautifully. Anyway, on to the pics (which I apologise for - some were taken a while ago using a decent camera and good lens, the most recent ones using a 50mm prime under horrible lighting): I am also selling a matching CIJ '62 RI factory fretless P-Bass - see ad [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/252572-fs-fender-cij-62-ri-factory-fretless-precision-bass/"]here[/url]. My amp and cab are also up for sale in a separate thread. I would very much prefer pickup from Bath/Bristol. I have one decent hard case and two basses to sell! I'm looking for £550 with the J-Retro. I could be persuaded to remove it (I'll include the original controls with the bass) but I wouldn't trust my soldering to put it back together again. Not really looking for trades as cash is currently king, but I could be persuaded to take something like a Warwick Proline Corvette 4 or 5-string, or a G&L L/M2000/2500 plus cash my way depending on spec.

Hi, I'll take it if I may. PM coming. Cheers Jake

Both now sold, thanks.
