  1. Here is my mega rare Gibson G3 Bass in natural finish with maple neck and maple body. According to the serial it was made in 1978, it is in excellent condition with minimal fretwear. There are the usual 'honourable marks of time' small dings and scuffing to the scratchplate. The bass has all original Bill Lawrence pickups and hardware including the bridge cover. It comes with its original Gibson case and hang tags! This bass has a very versatile pickup system and can get tones from Jazz warmth to Rick treble. The action is very low, medium weight and well balanced. A beautiful bass and reluctant sale due to having to upgrade my heating system. I have three Grabbers and they are all solid reliable basses. As used by Greenday, Nirvana, Kiss, etc. No trades , sorry can't send abroad.
    Will post pics soon.

  2. [quote name='ash' post='1124243' date='Feb 11 2011, 07:34 PM']Here is my Dean Pace Upright Bass in excellent cosmetic and playing condition, this is a great introduction to upright and very transportable. Comes with stand and case. The preamp hums on occasion so I suspect the jack output may need changing or resoldering but this is a minor issue. Recently retrung with black nylon rotos. Specs and review here -

  4. [quote name='Linus27' post='1123588' date='Feb 11 2011, 09:38 AM']Big weekend bump, more than ever now. Got told last night that we are all being made redundant so, I could really do with selling this now. My wife also works at the same place so we are both going to be out of work soon :)[/quote]
    Sorry to hear about your job losses, I'm interested in the bass but could you tell me the weight please?

  5. [quote name='madshadows' post='1110904' date='Feb 1 2011, 12:56 PM']Dan Armstrong bass guitar for sale, this is a London model made between 1972-75, I bought it new in either 74 or 75. It is the short scale model with a sliding pick-up and a mahogany body, the guitar is in excellent condition and never been gigged. Vintage & Rare Guitars in Denmark Street London sold the last one they had of this for £850.
    It comes complete with a case with is a bit battered due to my dog Rosie ripping of some the case covering and chewing off the handle when I lived at my mums years ago – BAD DOG !

    See pictures attached, I’d prefer collection only but open to other means as well. I live in South East London.

    PRICE £750.00 (I’m open to offers)


    Thanks John[/quote]

    These are great basses, restoring one at the moment I got from fleabay, needed a refret and new pickup but the neck is lovely, very high quality construction and mega rare. Good luck!

  6. Here is my beautiful Rickenbacker 4000 bass in azureglow (blue in Rick speak). All original with serial number dating it to 1982. The bass even has the bridge pickup cover! It has the rarer 'wavy' Grover USA machineheads and original mute on the bridge. It has great tonal variation for a single pickup bass from aggressive Squire like tones to Precision warmth. Its a rare bass in this finish and has a set neck which is beautifully set up with a low action, very little fret wear. No issues with either trussrod. Superb tone and balance.

    The bass has very little cosmetic wear with only minor dings to the headstock and grazes to the finish. I love this bass but it really does not fit in with the sound of my band so its not being played. Purchased off here just recently.

    Pickup only due to the value of this item and the fact there isn't a case with it. Although open to negotiation. No non UK buyers (because I won't ship this) sorry! No scammers or timewasters if you are looking at this you know how rare these beasts are. More pics on request. Potential buyers may view the bass by arrangement. Thanks for looking!

    Please note I am not interested in swaps or part exchanges.
    Looking for 950.

  8. David bought an Aria Rickenfaker off me and the deal was struck and money paid up very quickly, a little hiccup with the courier no other problems. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with David again.

    Cheers mate!
