[quote name='Stag' post='1110244' date='Jan 31 2011, 09:52 PM']I recognise this one, one of Simon's stash! Nice piece of kit... worth noting that V&R have a '73 4000 in stock for £1895, so the price offered here is extremely good for such a collectable piece! Good luck with the sale! [/quote] Yep its a beaut and at a bargain price methinks.

[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. Link to the Dan Armstrong site [url="http://www.danarmstrong.org/londonbass.html"]http://www.danarmstrong.org/londonbass.html[/url] 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!

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.

[attachment=66974:_C_y__RQ...jE____12.jpg] Here is my Yamaha BBN5 bass guitar, its in excellent cosmetic and working condition with only minor scuffs and dings to the natural finish. The bass has two J-type pickups and sounds great, very versatile with a nice low B string. The bass is light, well balanced and has a low action. A great 'workhorse' 5 string at a bargain price. Comes in original box. Its around 5 years old. Need to get some funds back. 125 and its yours! I can post at buyers cost. [attachment=66975:_C_y_o_w...ung___12.jpg]

[quote name='daz' post='1055897' date='Dec 12 2010, 12:06 PM']Ahh man, xmas time is the wrong time to get a good price for this unless someone is buying it as an xmas pressie.

[quote name='Jigster' post='1054487' date='Dec 10 2010, 08:52 PM']that seems a hell of a depreciation, did you buy it from new? [/quote] No I got it as a trade so its going for what I got it for in 'real terms'.

[quote name='carlsim' post='1054475' date='Dec 10 2010, 08:32 PM']Is a yamaha fretless of any interest to you as a trade??? With cash ur way??[/quote] Thanks for the offer but no need for another Yamaha.

This bass was made in Japan in the 70s by Aria at the Matsumoku factory. Its a rare bass, especially in this condition with only minor dings, paint touchups and tarnishing to the chrome wear. Unusually it retains its original pickups, pickup cover and trussrod! It has a bolt on neck, very thin and fast with beautiful abalone inlays and a glassy finish, the machineheads are era appropriate Grover copies. The truss rod turns each way and has plenty of adjustment play. Everything plays and works as it should with the exception of the wiring which needs some attention due to dry joints. Both pickups work but the bridge pickup has been disconnected to bypass the selector switch. It sounds pretty authentic. Its a good weight and balance and in summary its a great looking and a very collectable bass. I'm looking for around 310 cash or trade for a nice Status Groove 5 bass. Its on Ebay too but for a bit more dosh! Collection preferred but I can send within the UK only for 25 quid ish. For those non bass playing people out there who occasionally abuse these forums do not contact me if you are looking for a husband, adoption or any other money making scam! Go on you know you want it!!!!! Cheers. Now sold.
