I’d like to see pics of that!

1973/4 second version US made Fender Telecaster Bass. The version with the single humbucker, bullet trussrod and three bolt micro-tilt neck. This bass is definitely not a case Queen! It’s been modified and refinished in black by the previous owner. The neck, tuners, body, neck plate, strap buttons are all original. The slab body has been routed for an extra P bass pickup. The Mudbucker is a Fender reissue as the originals are very hard to source. The Seymour Duncan quarter pounder sounds really punchy and is hot enough to match the big humbucker and the bass sustains forever. The scratchplate is none original and none standard it has had a repair as it is quite brittle plastic and looks quite old. I had it wired to the Seymour Duncan Pickup only whilst I sourced a replacement Humbucker and will include a black scratchplate as pictured so you can choose if you want to use it without the humbucker. You can see where the original through body stringing holes would have been on the rear of the bass however it has been filled and fitted with a 70’s Fender BBOT bridge with one odd saddle fitted by myself as the bridge supplied was in pieces and a saddle missing. The original rout for the side jack cup has also been filled before the refinish. It could be possible to convert back to the original if wanted I would think. As I wanted a project I took a risk and bought this as a partly rebuilt Tele bass body and neck with some parts - the owner had inherited it and knew that it was good quality instrument but in a bad state. The body had already been refinished and the neck definitely needed a refret which I got my luthier to do (not cheap) having found that the neck was straight and the bullet trussrod worked perfectly. The original frets were literally hanging out and it looked like a butcher had been at the board when I bought it. It weighs a very reasonable 4.7kgs for a big slab of wood (ash?) and plays and sounds great. Without the humbucker it weighs 4.3kgs! I have two Tele basses and as I need to release some funds one has to go. It’s a rare bass and I’m sure the mods could be reversed if required The humbucker has a lot more variation than you would expect and you can get some very beefy and varied sounds. As expected the SD has that great P bass grunt we all know and love. Two pots and the capacitor appear to be original or at least contemporary. I added a volume pot and replaced some of the wiring. The jack socket is also an old replacement and works okay but will benefit from an upgrade at some point (I didn’t have any spares). No trades unless you have a Musicman Sterling bass with a maple board to p ex. Nothing else sorry. UK only. No case I’m afraid. Pickup preferred but could look into posting at buyer’s cost. Any questions please ask. Price reflects the modifications and none original parts. I’ve added pictures supplied by the original seller showing the body routs, neck pocket and neck. You can also see where the original string ferrules were on the back of the body so drilling them out should be a pretty straightforward job.

Sunn Mustang Bass by Fender It’s a late 80’s early 90’s bass with a full scale and small size body. It is very light weight and easy to play with a punch P bass sound. One tuner has been replaced. There are marks where stickers have been placed on the body. It plays well and was used as a back up. I think it’s Korean. I can post in the U.K. for £15. It would be a fun project to mod but works well as is. Buyer cancelled last minute so here it is again. Cheap and cheerful!

A nice solid P bass by Squier in sunburst finish. It is fitted with D’Addario medium gauge nickel strings and a new tone pot fitted. Nut width is just under 42mm. Great Precision bass growl, comfortable weight at around 4.2kgs and easy to play with a low action. I bought this for parts but it is such a good solid bass I gave it some TLC and it’s ready to gig! Some minor marks and dings but nothing serious. Made in Indonesia. Hardware is in great condition. Pickup or can post at cost UK only.

Sale fell through so here is…. Moog Mother 32 Eurorack Modular Synthesiser. Modular eurorack starter set up which includes: Moog Modular case, Behringer power supply, Moog Mother 32, Frequency Central Device and Erica Pico DSP. Also includes patch leads and Mother 32 manual, spare ribbon for power supply, mounting screws and Moog box. This is a really powerful unit, I decided to add the Device as it features an oscillator, envelope and the respected Raging Bull (Moog Taurus clone) filter. This expands the capability of the Moog 32 adding an extra oscillator. The Erica DSP provides an incredible array of effects. The Moog 32 sequencer sounds amazing through it especially the delays. There are also empty spaces to house a few other eurorack units. The system was put together with simplicity and flexibility in mind - I didn’t want to end up falling down the rabbit hole of modular, my concept was to expand the Moog and this really does the trick. It can also be integrated in a MIDI setup via the Moog 32. The costs of all the individual units and case is well over a grand. So my price is a very good deal for someone wanting to start out in modular but with the Moog core sound. It’s easy to get lost in the endless combinations of sound this set up can create. Only selling as I’m raising money for a house move. Any questions please ask. Check out the units online. You could use this with midi bass pedals to create Geddy Lee or Mike Rutherford low notes!

Very nice I think it is the resin body version? I also had one and then a wooden bodied version - sustain for ever, very articulate mid range.

Yes you are right it has more of a Precision feel but it is very comfy to play.

If this were a Fender of the same era and condition it would be five times the asking. It isn’t of course but arguably the quality is better and the weight certainly healthier at 4kgs. It’s a Japanese built Yamaha Super Bass available only on the domestic market at the time and made between 1976 - 1982 (I think though there is conflicting information out there). It is near immaculate and comes with original case. All hardware is original although I suspect the screws of the scratchplate may have been replaced. The bass has had a pro set up and is currently strung with Roto flats. It plays very well and you can get both P and Jazz tones from the pickups. The finish is slightly redder than the mocha or walnut Fender finishes but it’s very nice and you can see the body grain. Construction is superb. I doubt you will find a cleaner example. It is a recent purchase however I have finally had my house purchase completed and need to pay off my solicitor so selling a lot of things before I bond with them. No trades. UK only pickup preferred but I can post at buyer's cost.

I had the Foundation rig and the 18” are very powerful. I had two of them at one point! The reason I got the Jenniings 15” version is because it is much more useable in a modern rig. I’ve used the pair of mine with Markbass and Orange amps. They have a vintage look but are much lighter than the Foundation cabs. The Vox livery looks good too suitably retro!

Markbass mini cmd 121p This is one of those combos that quickly became a classic renowned for punching above its puny size. I bought this in January from Bassdirect brand new for £675. It’s been gigged a handful of times since then and always with PA support. It is in excellent condition. I bought it as it had the earlier preamp as I prefer this to the newer Markbass amps. It’s an Indonesian made amp. Great quality and incredibly loud for its size and weight. 12” Speaker with 500 watts capable power amp. Pickup preferred but I could post for around £30. No trades thanks. I’ve decided to withdraw this as I don’t want the hassle or risk of posting it.

Taken from a new Harley Benton bass this is a nicely made Roswell pickup as new condition . A punchy sound great for a project. Price includes UL postage.

Full set of Squier tuners, ferrules and screws. Taken from a new bass. Price includes UK postage.

I bought two sets of these but having tried one out I prefer a slightly lighter gauge. This is for the unopened remaining set and includes UK postage. Please note price is for the unused set only.

Vintage JEI (Jennings) 15” Eminence loaded bass cab in Vox livery. This cab was used for some 60’s style shows coupled with my ‘64 T60. The cabinet dates from the 1973 and is a Jennings B3 cab. It is in good condition but has been well gigged over the past half century. The driver is a newer 15’’ 200 watt Eminence and is 8 ohms. I added the Vox vintage cloth, piping and Vox badge. I have the original JEI badge and cloth but this is very tatty. This is a nice punchy cab with a vintage vibe. Pickup only. For all those who don’t know JEI was formed by former Vox employee Tom Jennings when he was unceremoniously given his cards when Vox changed management. Jennings was the main man behind all the classic Vox amps of the JMI era. I have two of these but only need the one! https://www.voxac100.org.uk/jennings_b3_bass_speaker_cabinet.htm

This bass was made in 2004 at Fender’s Corona Plant, it features carbon rods in the neck to add strength. The neck on this bass is great to play and very stable with plenty of life in the frets and a working trussrod. The bass has been modded as it was used for a Phil Lynott Thin Lizzy tribute. It has the distinctive black and maple finish and the mirror pickguard. There is a spare pickguard should you wish to look a little less bling! This is a generic pickguard but fits well. The bass has also got an EMG pickup fitted with EMG electrics. It gives a fantastic array of sounds for a single pickup bass. As you can see on the pictures it has been routed at the back to accommodate the 9volt battery, this saves removing the scratchplate when you need to change it. There are scuffs and buckle marks to the rear of the bass, there is a small repaired area at the side of the neck pocket and an extra strap button at some point has been fitted and removed at the rear of the top horn. The neck has no dings at the back and plays superbly. Strings are heavier D’addarios. The bass weighs in at 4.1kgs and is very comfortable and well balanced. It also comes with a Gator case. It is a lovely bass to play and has a distinctive look to it. With the black guard it’s a classic P bass and with the mirror guard instant rocker! Any questions please ask. Pickup preferred but I have a decent box to put the case in if needed. UK only. Only selling as I have a pending house move to pay for. Please look at the pictures this is a gigged bass so does have cosmetic flaws.

Very nice workhorse Precision and a great price.

Gulp 😊

Perfect then 😊

I would think it would drop into the cavity but the scratchplate may need modification. There is a thread on Talkbass where someone used a Darkstar also.
