Fender MM Nate Mendel Precision Bass & Bag This 2018 bass is in excellent condition and comes with all the original case candy and Foo Fighters spare neck plate. It’s a lovely sounding bass and has subtle wear to it that gives it the look of a genuine early seventies instrument. It is currently strung with Daddarios but a set of old heavy gauge strings are included too. It has the Fender hi-mass bridge. It weighs just over 4kgs and is a nicely balanced instrument. I’d prefer pickup in person but can post in the UK at buyer’s cost if necessary. This is part of my ‘if it’s going to be gathering dust - sell it!’ gear cull. Sorry no trades.

A lovely Ernie Ball Musicman 5 string bass in a beautiful transparent teal colour. According to the serial number it was built on Valentine’s Day 1995 and presumably put together with love as it is a beautifully made instrument with a great neck and tons of tone from the ceramic pickup. It has a three band EQ with the three position switch similar to my Sterling. The neck is shallow and string spacing 17.5mms, very low action and the trussrod functions as it ought to. Little fret wear as it has only been played very occasionally since new and no dings other than minor scuffing marks from play. It has a very tight and big sounding low B but is well balanced throughout its range. It comes with a none original case. The bass is a pretty good weight for a Stingray 5 at a tad under 10lbs. The strap buttons were changed before I owned it to schaller ones. There are no strap locks included unless I can find some in my parts box. I used to play 5 strings years ago but my fretting hand tendon issues mean that this instrument is being neglected. I am not looking for trades and I’d prefer pickup in person as it’s a valuable instrument but would box and post within the UK only at buyer’s cost.

Wonderful basses these GLWTS Alain!

Very nice Lee

This was mine and is beautiful. Who buys this will be very happy.

Musicman USA Sterling 1996 and MM case This is one of a pair of Sterling’s I own - this has an unusual beautiful flame to the neck. It is all original and plays superbly with a versatile preamp. It’s a good weight at 4.3kgs and is in a metallic blue finish. Frets are excellent and the trussrod works as it ought to. Action is nice and low. This bass sings! There are some cosmetic dings and scrapes to the body however the neck is perfect. No trades sorry, pickup preferred but I can post at buyers cost in the UK only. Selling because of an impending house purchase - I don’t really need two of them!

I like it! What’s the weight please?

I got this a few months ago as a summer project however work and house moving means it’s been neglected. Time to move it on. It’s an Epiphone Dot 335 type semi in good condition however the front has been rather amateurishly repainted in a ‘Pelham blue’. I think it could be stripped to reveal the original tobacco sunburst or stickered or generally customised to your own tastes. It’s a good guitar and plays well with no other issues apart from a knob that doesn’t match. Case is worn but does it’s job. Can post in the UK at cost. No trades.

I took this modern bridge from a US Fender, it has the string through option as well as traditional stringing. It’s heavy duty with Allen adjustments. Price includes UK postage.

Unfortunately I rarely travel on account of work commitments. I’m reducing the price for a quick sale.

Lovely!

EMG Precision Bass pickup with solderless loom and white covers. Excellent condition, white cover is a little grubby - I’ve swapped it out for an old passive unit. Price includes UK postage. No trades.

It’s a Stagg EUB in good condition. There are a few minor dings to the paintwork. One of the attachment ‘arms’ is missing - but I’ve never used them anyway. It has been shielded so no hum from the preamp. It’s been fitted with a very nice set of Pirastro strings and plays really well. The preamp gives quite a convincing double bass sound when played live. I can’t use it as a result of a tendon issue. It comes with a nice Stagg gigbag. It’s pretty big and delicate so pickup only from Lancaster U.K. No trades.

Used set - Fender cut. The silks are excellent, very low use taken from a bass I swapped. Price includes U.K. postage

Absolutely stunning. Great basses these!

Black and maple 2003 Fender US Precision Bass with original case. This instrument was my main bass for some time but a tendon issue means I’ve switched to a slimmer necked Musicman. The Precision weighs around 4.1kgs and is in great condition. The nut was replaced some years ago by Jack’s instruments repairs in Manchester. It’s the version with graphite rods and the S1 switch but this was bypassed and a normal pot replaced the switch - I’ll include the original so that it can be restored to stock. The original case booklets are included. The case has a few stickers on it but is sound. The bass is wonderful I have nearly sold it a couple of times but changed my mind but it hasn’t been played since I got my Musicman and I have an older P bass that has the sentimental attachment. There are scuffs and dings and one touched up spot near the strap button - as pictured. Neck is lovely with two minor dings and the trussrod turns and works as it ought to. There is a little lacquer chip and a hairline crack at the fingerboard end where the trussrod access is - this has been checked and it is cosmetic only. I may regret selling this one as it’s been the best modern era Precision I have owned. No trades, pickup preferred. I can post but at cost to buyer. A lovely USA Precision for under £800!

The stripes are not to everyone’s taste but the finish is certainly eye catching and personally I think they contrast nicely against the yellow finish. G&L short scale US goodness for a great price bump!

This is the lovely US built launch edition of the short scale G&L Fullerton Fallout bass in a rather fetching ‘racing yellow’. These racing stripe versions with the matching headstock were apparently a limited run. This is a really east bass to play - the neck is very fast and I’d say much better than the Tribute version of which I sold to get this. It is in excellent condition and is strung with heavy gauge round wounds from Daddario. There are some minor marks and a dent on the upper bout which has bruised the lacquer. This is only cosmetic of course. No issues with the trussrod. The bass doesn’t come with a case or bag but will be well packed if posted. I’ve included a pic comparing the size of it with a full scale Musicman bass. Although it’s a 30’’ scale with 19 frets it has a large body. The balance is perfect, tones are powerful and flexible and the weight is 4kgs which is easy on the shoulder. I’m selling because my short scale experiment started with and ended with my Ric 3000 - which I’m keeping. This is a well put together US made short scale bass that doesn’t look like a toy on a bigger player but is manageable for players of all sizes. The E has plenty of punch and the intonation is perfect. I’d recommend watching Ed Friedland AKA The Bass Whisperer’s YouTube demo which definitely sold this bass to me. See link. No trades sorry, UK only. Pickup preferred although I can post at buyers cost. Reduced to £725.

Orange Little Bass Thing bass amp. It’s near new and was bought as a backup. Lovely amp purchased recently and used in rehearsal once. It’s seriously loud and really huge sounding but a bit too powerful for my needs so I’ll stick with my Markbass combo. The compressor is really useful and it’s got a comprehensive eq section too. Comes boxed. I can post in the UK for £15. I’d trade for a Markbass Little Mark head. 500 Watt, Single Channel bass amp head Class D Power Amp Foot-switchable Compression (footswitch sold Separately) Variable Input Sensitivity for active or passive basses Balanced DI Out FX Loop
