Gordy headless bass - this was handmade by Gordon Witham the other half of the original Gordon Smith partnership. Very good condition with some small cosmetic dings - see pics. It’s around 30 years old. The bass is lovely with a light action and a great active preamp. It’s a good weight around 9lbs and well balanced. Bought on a whim as I love Gordy’s work but I prefer passive basses. UK only no trades. Comes with gigbag and a set of grub screws for the bridge so you can use normal strings. It’s currently strung with double ball ended Status flats.

I’ve changed the pickup to a black covered one due to requests and comments on the aesthetics. It’s now sporting a Duncan Designed pickup instead of the cream Dimarzio. Still sounds nice and punchy!

Yes I’ve had three of these all weighed over 5kgs but were superb instruments. If it were 3.9kgs I’d be all over it! Lawrence is indeed a lucky fellow!

Oh yes it certainly is - the necks are superb on these early versions, only selling as I tend to favour the JV Precision I’ve played over the last 27 years!

Now £565

Very nice how much does it weigh?

And a lovely bass it is too!

Lovely basses these - I have a black and maple one and it’s my main gigging bass these days.

No problem Mike but it’s a long way - I’m in Lancaster

The usual query about the weight of the bass? Cheers

Gorgeous how heavy is it please and does it have a case or bag?

Very nice but what does it weigh?

The blue ones are Daddarios and the greens Fender.

Having just got a new bass that has taken over as number one workhorse it’s time to thin the collection. This one is an early JV Squier Precision Bass. It has a JV1 prefix serial making it a late 1982 model according to the 21 Frets site. The bass has the wider string spacing and flatter neck profile of the earlier models and the desirable highly figured Sen ash bodies. The neck is superb on this one: frets thin and low but lots of life in them and beautiful wide dark rosewood board. I’ve owned this bass twice as I sold it and then bought it back recently. Unfortunately during its former life and subsequent time away from me it has undergone some fairly radical modding. A P bass pickup route had roughly been gouged from the wood in the bridge I covered the rather crude edges of the route I used a brass pickup ring I had made. Please note due to several requests I’ve used a Seymour Duncan pickup with a matching black cover rather than the cream Dimarzio! Each pickup has independent stacked volume and tone and has some great tonal variations and real punch and clarity. Now it’s certainly no collector’s piece but it looks far better than previously and is a superb sounding instrument with a lovely low action. There are cosmetic dings but the neck is straight ,true and has plenty of play in the trussrod. I’m not certain if the spiral bridge is a replacement. The scratchplate, electrics and pickups are modded - the neck pickup looks like a US Fender. Note the replacement gold screw on the back of the headstock strap button. It has a great balance and weighs around 4.5kgs so relatively easy on the shoulders for long gigs. It comes with a gigbag as I’m now using the spare case. No trades sorry. Cash and pickup preferred and UK only. I could post at buyer’s cost.

Fender Precision Bass with a rosewood fingerboard this is a 60th anniversary US model in butterscotch blonde. I realise I prefer maple boards so this isn’t getting played. It has a transparent finish so you can see the grain of the wood through it. It has a single ply black pick guard like the limited edition model. This has the S1 switch and original pickups and hardware. It is light at around 4kgs and sounds and plays fantastic. It will come supplied with flat wound strings. It’s in excellent condition with only a few minor dings at the tail end of the body none of these are down to the wood. The bass comes with a rather nice Fender gigbag. I’d prefer cash on collection but can post in the UK. I will trade for a similar era US Fender Precision with a maple board. I’m not interested in other trades. Cheers

If you mean UK shipping yes
