I’m reluctantly selling my lovely Fender USA 77/78 Precision in the rare mocha brown finish. It’s a beautiful bass and as you can see it is in excellent condition. I did sell this once and then bought it back as I love this bass but needs must. The bass is totally stock, original finish and includes the bridge cover (but not the pickup cover unfortunately) and thumbrest. Check out the stickers under the scratchplate and pot codes. There’s some slight tarnishing to some of the hardware but all functions as it ought to with lots of life in the frets and trussrod. It has recently been set up with a light fret dress and attention to the nut. It now plays perfectly. It weighs a tad under 4.4kgs so a great weight for a bass of this era. It even has the sales voucher from when it was sold secondhand back in 1989! It comes with a modern vintage style Fender case. It sounds fantastic with that real P bass growl when the treble is full on or a smoother tone when rolled off. The only real wear is where the bridge cover has sat on the area around the bridge, minor scuffs and blemishes elsewhere and a beautiful clean neck. No trades and I’d prefer pickup. I could be persuaded to post at buyers cost and arrangement but only in the UK. More pictures on request. Cheers

I had a flightcased vintage 74 Odyssey have it’s main circuit board come adrift from the synth in transit. It must have been dropped from a great height as it was a pro old school Rainbow case with internal foam and the case was boxed and padded externally also. Fortunately the board was undamaged and easily fixed. The guy who I bought it from had sent it via Hermes! He did have the courtesy to refund my £60 postage that I thought was paying for insured UPS however 🙂

This synth is boxed and in near mint condition and comes with all accessories. It’s from a limited edition of 2000 and this one is number 0666 so it’s a devil of a synth. If you are looking you know what it is and what it’s capable of. A fabulous synth with lots of functions and options - too many for me hence the sale! So here it is. I’d prefer pickup in person I know it’s boxed but it is very heavy and probably ridiculously expensive to insure. You can organise your own courier if you are in the UK at your own cost and risk of course but it would have to be insured and through UPS or Parcelforce. I’m in Lancaster. No trades. More pics on request.

A recent buy this is a 1983 Dan Smith era Fender US Jazz Bass. I’m selling as an old bass of mine I regret selling has come up. Beautiful bass that came to me in dire need of setting up, new strings and a good clean. Now the action is fine, truss rod tweaked and the bass has had stickers and muck removed. It has been strung with Rotos 40-100s. You can see where one of the removed stickers has left a lighter patch underneath it - annoying but only cosmetic. The stock switchcraft jack has been replaced as it was worn out but I’ll include the old one. Bass sounds and plays great and has the rare one piece scratchplate and strat type controls. These are often modded with chrome control plates so nice to see one stock. Truss rod and micro tilt mechanism works, loads of life in the frets. The neck is lovely to play. One or two minor paint dings on the bottom rear edge of the body near the strap button. Bass weighs 4.6kgs nice and balanced on a strap - wide strap and straplocks included. Bass was used and gigged in smokey clubs throughout its life. I’m selling for what it owes me. Pickup preferred but can courier at buyer’s cost. No trades. UK only.

Personally I thought that the Mustang was overpriced at £1199. 😉

A nice old Mustang I was looking at but a bit heavy for a shorty. Bought for £1199 from Rich tone then flipped with a potentially hefty £550 profit if it sells at BIN and not even a best offer in sight.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1977-78-Vintage-Fender-Mustang-Bass-Original-Black-with-Original-Hard-Case/303343882733?hash=item46a0b451ed:g:czMAAOSwhvpdu6Bd

This is the limited edition Moog Sirin essentially a Moog Minitaur with a bigger range so that you can use it for bass or lead sounds. It’s got that classic Moog sound and is really easy to use with 128 user presets and a free software editor so you can get really in depth with tweaking new sounds. It comes boxed with PSU and manual. It’s as new - bought on a whim to be honest and as it does exactly the same as my other Moog it’s surplus to requirements. I can post in the UK at buyers cost. Sorry no trades.

I’ve reverted back to a small Markbass combo and an extension cab for bigger gigs so these two items are up for grabs. Both amp and cab are in excellent condition. The head comes in a Markbass gigbag and the speaker cab in a Roqsolid cover. Italian made Little Mark III 500 watt amp. It’s in very good condition with minor cosmetic scuffs to the paintwork where it was once rack mounted. It works perfectly and has had a service from official Markbass centre Real Electronics. The cab is an Italian made 8 ohm New York 151 400 watts. Functions perfectly. Some minor bobbling to the carpet covering but overall excellent condition. A very powerful and portable Markbass rig. Sorry no trades as I have my eye on something else. I’d prefer pickup in person. Thanks for looking!

Your car boot find looks like a Vox Clubman or a Burns sonic.

I must defend Carlsbro amps: I had a Cobra 90 that I gigged for 5 years before I bought my first Trace Elliot. Okay it couldn’t compete with the Trace in terms of punch and tone but it never let me down. I also still regularly use a Carlsbro Hornet keyboard combo that I’ve owned since 1989 again ultra reliable and still gigged, even the reverb works! I can’t comment on what they produce now however.

Dr Bass 1260 cab 12” woofer, 6” mid and adjustable tweeter for sale. Great US custom made cab runs at 8ohms and puts out around 300 watts. It’s compact and relatively light at 19kgs. Eminence drivers the midrange is a brand new replacement. In answer to a couple of questions the drivers are - The main woofer is an Eminence Gamma 12 and the mid is a 6.5 Eminence LA6 CBMR. There’s a tweeter and some kind of crossover, with two speakon sockets and an attenuater for the tweeter. These cabs had a lot of fans when they came out however the demand out stripped the supply. Then manufacturing delays and missed orders caused the company problems, however the cabs were universally praised. There is lots of discussion on Talkbass as you can well imagine. It’s a great cab but I need to create space for a vintage stack. I’d prefer pickup but U.K. shipping isn’t out of the question if you are willing to pay for it. It’s in excellent cosmetic condition, very sturdy build quality and really pushes air. Pics aren’t great but they show the condition. No trades.

I have a near mint condition Fender Precision Bass made in Mexico from 2016/17. It’s light at 4kgs with a lovely maple neck and fingerboard. Plays superbly with low action and good balance. Bought as a backup recently but I’m selling as I have the opportunity to buy back an old bass I regretted selling. It comes with a high quality gig bag, inspection tags, Allen keys and Fender strap. I’m okay to post in the U.K. at buyer’s cost. No trades sorry as I need to free up some cash. This is as good as my American Standard, lighter in weight but not in sound.

Well done I would’ve bought it myself if I were nearer to him. You’ll have to put pictures up of your beaten up one.

Agreed I got in touch last time it was listed and had similar discussions. Information was pretty limited he also agreed to courier pickup so I’m not sure about the validity of his reason for relisting.

Agreed - I’m not a fan of the trend to disguise crap with more crap.
