Correct! 😉

This bass has served me well, a real work horse, comfortable to play and sounds great. The classic black and maple combo. It has been regularly gigged and as such has some scrapes to the back and blemishes and a couple of dings on the back of the neck and headstock. Nothing structural or major just honest play and gig wear. Frets are in good condition and the neck is straight with a working truss-rod. It has the original truss-rod tool and Allen key in the case pocket with the owners booklet and inspection tag. There is a service note from Jack’s instrument repairs of Manchester. It had a replacement bone nut fitted some years ago and the S1 switch circuit was replaced with a normal pot - the S1 switch and original knobs are included. It weighs 4.4kgs and is well balanced. The case is worn and has stickers on it, the cloth tags that keep the case open at right angles have become detached although it still works and it even has its original key! I have used this bass exclusively for some time however owing to an issue with my fretting hand I have had to switch to short scale basses and have invested in an expensive shorty! Reluctantly this has to go. No trades sorry. The bass is for sale in the U.K. only. I’d rather it be picked up but I can post at your cost. I will of course entertain sensible offers.

Nano amp now sold Markbass Traveller 121 H 400 watt Cabinet Moving a few pieces of spare gear on. 12”8 ohm cabinet with switchable horn and cover The cabinet is near mint and is very powerful for the size. I’d prefer pickup from Lancaster Cabinet - £230

Nice what's its weight though?

Not seen a daphne blue one with a rosewood board before. Nice looking instrument.

I’ve used this as a spare for a while but other than a couple of gigs where my old amp blew a fuse it hasn’t done much service. I bought it used and it had been serviced by Real-electronics Sheffield who are the recommended service centre for Markbass in the U.K. There is some cosmetic damage to the finish on the top of the amp where it has been in my gig bag and the gain control could do with a squirt of cleaner but the amp is loud and punchy and works as it ought to. The DI and fan works properly too.

Markbass Mini CMD 121P IV Bass Guitar Combo. Here is my Markbass Mini CMD Bass combo - it’s the very latest version of the combo, I bought it from GAK in November of this year and it has been used twice but I prefer my larger rig so this is up for grabs. It’s as new and boxed - it even smells new! These combos retail at well over £650 new if you can find one in stock. See the blurb from Markbass below. Pickup preferred but I can post in the original packaging at the buyer's cost. Probably £25 via Interparcel. No trades on this sorry. > UNPARALLED POWER/WEIGHT RATIO After years from its initial release in the 2005, this combo continues to lead the pack when it comes to big sound from a small package. The sound that comes from this amp simply does not match what you see when you look at such a small cube. > UPDATED 4 BAND EQ, OLD SCHOOL FILTER, 3 WAY SWITCH Our updated 4 band EQ section features very effective controls allowing you to easily find the sound you want, boosting or cutting up to 16dB for each of the 4 bands to cover all the tonal nuances needed in any genre of music. Additionally the Old School filter cuts your high frequencies and gives a round and smooth tone. The 3 way rotary-switch allows you to choose between a super-balanced flat tone, a scooped preset that drops the mids while boosting the lows and highs - giving a superb slap sound, or lastly the 'FSW' option to control both mute and the Scooped EQ on demand by connecting an optional dual footswitch. > BI-BAND LIMITER Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes. > POWERFUL STACK WITH NEW YORK 121 EXTENSION CABINET If you add the New York 121 to the Mini CMD 121P combo, you’ll have a 500W 2x12” stack able to fill a large venue with headroom to spare. > TAKES UP VERY LITTLE ROOM ON STAGE Even when stacked on a New York 121 cabinet (which has the same dimensions), this combo creates a footprint on stage of only 15” x 14”. You'll never have a problem fitting this rig on even the smallest of stages!

This is a lovely example of a Marathon, it was mine. Very nice bass, I’d be tempted myself but I’m downsizing my collection. Whoever buys it will get a bargain!

Yes they are

Case is in good vintage condition, it came with a 1976 Fender bass I sold on. All catches/hinges work and the compartment is fine, original logo is present. No keys. Part of my grand clear-out. U.K. only I can post but it will be extra as it’s a heavy old case. Internally it’s clean and doesn’t smell of old cigarettes or cabbage.

Fender US 1977/78 Precision Bass bitsa More clearing out…. I bought this as a neck and parts project a while ago from a defunct bass, the neck was in great condition. The original hardware, bridge, neck, plate and pickup as sold belonged to the same bass and were in good shape - the neck lovely to play. The scratchplate had an extra hole drilled for a volume control, now repaired it had been shielded with lots of copper tape. You can see under the foil the small rectangle where the matching serial sticker on the rear of the plate. Pots are not original but the capacitor is. I bought a nicely weathered Fender MIM Roger Waters P bass body and then mounted the neck and hardware to the body. It now looks very authentic, sounds and plays great and weighs only 4.1kgs. Not quite an original 70’s Fender but 100% Fender nonetheless. Comes with a modern Fender shaped case. Parts are probably worth more than the asking price but it works really well as an instrument. No trades I can post in the UK only at buyers cost.

I had some real compliments about this cab when I used it as a standalone cab with an F1 amp and also in conjunction with my MB mini combo. A bit OTT for my current amplification needs though as I tend to have PA support. It’s bright and articulate and very powerful for its size.

Tokai Hard Puncher Precision Bass PB 40 MIJ 1980 Classic Tokai P bass with the naughty early logo. This was their no frills version of the Precision Bass and at the time definitely gave Fender something to think about. The build quality and playability is excellent, tight neck pocket,relatively lightweight at 3.9kgs. Some say the hardware isn’t great however it’s stood the test of time and many gigs, although there is tarnishing to the chrome and surface corrosion on the pots everything works smoothly and is crackle free. The capacitor has been rewired by the looks of it however there are no issues. The pickups sound nice and…er…punchy and compare favourably to both my late 70’s Fender Precision and my early noughties one. No real dings but plenty of cosmetic blemishes and marks. It has been set up with new Rotosound nickel roundwounds and plays really well. Pickup preferred as there is no case or bag but I can post in the U.K. at buyer’s cost. No trades. Sorry.
