How much do these weigh please?

A Hayman 4040 from around 1973/4 in original blonde/natural finish. Most of you know that these basses were handmade to a very high standard in the UK by the people behind Burns and later Shergold. They are rare instruments especially with the perspex pickup and bridge covers and bridge clip included. This one has had its neck replaced with a Shergold equivalent of the same era as the original’s trussrod was broken. The ‘new’ neck is straight and frets are very good and the trussrod turns as it ought to. I have the original neck which is included in the sale. There are dings and a few lacquer cracks as the bass is at least 40 years old however nothing structural. The bass plays and sounds great. All the electrics work properly and the chrome hardware is in exceptional condition with very little corrosion. The backplate is the earlier engraved/stamped version with ‘patent applied for’ numbers on it. There is no case or bag sorry. SOLD

...and it used to be mine and it is a really nice bass

That’s an early one - the later ones showed the weave of the carbon graphite - no truss rod I take it? What’s the weight please?

I’m in Lancaster

Here is a nice old Hohner headless Jack bass in superb condition. It has EMG Select pickups and passive/active switch. Lovely neck, nice and light with a good balance. Very versatile instrument it is currently set up with Status Hotwire Flats although it comes with an old set of double ball end round wounds and a spare set of Hotwire flats too. Tatty gigbag and strap included. Very few marks on the bass. No trades sorry shipping possible at buyers expense. Thanks

If anyone wants to trade for a Fender Hot Rod P Bass I’d be up for that but nothing else.

The cull continues this time a 1996 Fender MIJ Precision. This is a beautiful vintage style bass with the classic sunburst finish and tortoiseshell pickguard. It has a fantastic sound and plays superbly with a low action and straight fast neck. The frets have lots of life and the trussrod plenty of play. There are some dings that can be seen in the pics and three small grazes and a ding on the back of the neck in one area when it was knocked into a stand. It doesn’t interfere with playing particularly. As far as I know it’s completely original and reminds me of the JV ‘60s type Precision’s from the early 80’s. The bass weighs around 8.9lbs and comes with a Ritter gigbag. No trades sorry, I’m happy to post in the UK however pickup from Lancaster would be welcome.

Yes it disappeared when I hit the buy it now! I love it but an old flame bass-wise has come up so first in first out! Erm I mean last in first out...doh! 😆

I bought this Fender off eBay and it’s a fabulous reissue model based on a 50s Precision with a 60s paisley Telecaster Bass finish. It’s in virtually mint condition. The paisley pattern is a rare limited edition finish. Made in Japan between 1993-94. The bass weighs 4.1kgs and balances well. Frets are excellent and it’s got a low action with plenty of play on the trussrod - the trussrod in fact looks untouched. The bridge is a later US one as the original would only have had two saddles. It comes with both pickup and bridge cover and a clever wooden insert that acts as a thumbrest to protect the single coil pickup. I’m looking for what I paid for it and I’m only selling because something has cropped up that I’m looking for so no trades sorry. I’m selling for exactly what it cost me. I’m in Lancaster. Postage if required will be extra. It comes with a gigbag.trades would be a JV Precision preferably a maple neck version or a Fender Hot Rod Precision. It’s a lovely bass but I’m not using it with any of my bands and I don’t like using basses as wall hangers now SOLD. 😉

I’ve dropped the price this is now £200 for a virtually new amp!
