It's gloss black plays and sounds great!

Here is a complete one off, a Gordy (the Gordon half of Gordon Smith guitars) Blueshift double neck bass. This was a custom bass built for a customer in 1985 by Gordon Whitham in Manchester. The bass comes with its original case and although a hefty beast it balances well and is comfortable to play ( but not recommended for 4 hour sets! ). As far as I can tell the bass is original and has Schaller hardware and passive pickups. There are two outputs so the bass can be played through two separate amps and there is a push pull pot to switch it through to a single output with a toggle to switch between the necks. The electrics feature coil taps separate volumes for each pickup but no tone control. The fretless neck is lined and plays beautifully - currently strung with new Picato flats 45 - 100. The fretted neck is also excellent and strung with Rotos. Both necks are in excellent condition with a narrow Jazz like width. The finish is satin and the grain shows through nicely. It's very prog and very eye catching! The bespoke soap bar pickups are powerful and punchy. This is a nice custom bass with a bit of UK vintage history behind it. No trades as I have my eye on something else. Pickup preferred but if you want to arrange a courier I can do that too.

Oh dear the vintage GAS has got me again so today I'm offering this virtually brand new, boxed and cased Gibson Midtown Standard. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Bass/Gibson-USA/Midtown-Standard-Bass.aspx I bought it because for years I wanted an Epiphone Rivoli/Gibson EB2. Guess what? Less than a month after I buy this I have the opportunity to buy a vintage one! I got it from Thomann as part of their 'blow out' deal hence the low price. It comes with all the case candy and trussrod tool, I'm also including a very high quality leather strap in keeping with the vintage vibe of the bass. It's pictured wearing flats but I'll put roundwound strings on ( the flats are really nasty old ones that I liked for the thump ) if sold. The action is nice and low as I had it tweaked by my local luthier and intonation is spot on. I also had a thumb rest professionally fitted as it provides a more comfortable right hand position. It's in excellent condition as it has remained cased and smells of brand new Gibson! Construction and finish is top quality - it sounds fantastic and has a surprising array of tones thanks to the combination of thumping mud bucker and honky bridge pickup. I'm looking for a sale only and would prefer pickup unless the buyer wants to arrange their own courier. No offers - if the bass I want goes I will withdraw this. Cheers!

Here's my old faithful Hartke 4 x 10 Transporter cab. It's the one with aluminium speakers and puts out 300 watts into 8ohms. It's not too heavy and sits on 4 castors to wheel it around. It's finished in carpet which is quite scruffy but everything works as it ought to. Sounds loud and punchy. Bought as an extension to my Markbass so rarely used or pushed. You'll need to pick this up as it's big! No trades sorry - unless you have an 8 ohm 18" Celestion or Fane speaker knocking around

As part of my gear clear out I'm selling this excellent little US made combo. The amp has a 10" speaker and a closed back I've played small gigs with this as it's pretty punchy for its size. It's also been used for recording. It's quite heavy so pickup only please. You can always organise your own courier? Cheers

Great basses these, very well made and easy on the shoulder. I used one of these as my touring bass favoured over a USA Jazz because it was such a light bass to play over long gigs. Someone snap this up!
