Wow that’s a beauty Karl!

YHere is my Mantra bass filter, it sounds great and is very flexible with lots of variation and two programmable user presets. It’s in excellent condition with psu, box and manual. I’m not using it as much as I intended to and tend to stick with my EH Bassballs as it’s a bit more straightforward to use live. Can post for a fiver uk only.

Hmmm very nice what’s the weight of it please?

I’m awaiting a reply 😉

Hi what’s its weight please and would you post? Thanks

It’s cheap and cheerful but plays really well and sounds just like a good P bass ought too. Very light at around 3.8kgs with a nice satin feel neck, maple board and thin vintage style frets. The tuners are a bit cheap looking but work fine and the bass is newly strung with rotos. I bought it as a back up whilst my trusty JV was having work done and for the price this did the job well. UK only pickup preferred but I would post at buyers cost. Only trades would be on a Markbass cab or combo with some money from me. It comes with a gigbag. Thanks

I have two of these for sale - both fit my Fender US made 1979 Precision Bass however I’ve managed to repair the original ‘79 one so they are up for sale. One has an extra hole for a switch drilled that is now taped over so that one is £12 posted. The second one I imported from the US and it’s had no modification - this one is £14 posted in the UK. Both have minor marks from use but no cracks or breaks. Three ply black white black - see pics. Cheers.

Interesting that - it’s been about a bit that bass. The picture of it on the rug is from my sale. You can see my Tele bass in the background. I sold it previous to you buying it on eBay my description and pictures clearly showing it as a Sterling as did this sale - I can say it’s a fantastic pro bass and certainly worth the asking price. I just didn’t get on with the five strings so sold it on quickly and cheaply. Good luck with the sale. Hopefully it will find a permanent home! PS it was absolutely covered in stickers when I bought it that took a lot of effort to clean off.

Very nice basses these. The necks are excellent I had one on an old Tele bass body years ago.

Nice what’s the weight of it please?

I’m no expert but these crop up a lot and JV denotes Japanese Vintage. I think the difference is merely in the decal - and the price! There’s a great website about JVs called 21frets it describes all the different versions. Interestingly yours has different tuners and bridge from mine. Mine has the spiral type saddles and early reverse tuners although the serial is same era!

This amp is in excellent condition and was bought as a back up whilst my own amp was being serviced from here. This is the earlier pre amp version and has bags of punch and clarity for such a small unit. An Italian made high quality bass amp, a few cosmetic scratches to the metal case and some wear and tear to be expected of a gigged unit. Some of the pots could do with a squirt of switch cleaner but all working fine. I will post in the UK only free but pickup is preferred. This is for the amp only no trades sorry. Reduced £185. Thanks for looking!

Great amps, I miss mine so very interested. What are the holes on the bottom of it for? Cheers

Very nice bass, what’s its weight please?

1972 Fender Telecaster Bass. This is the three bolt neck Telebass with large chrome humbucker pickup. This bass benefits from a single MIJ Jazz pickup at the bridge and a three way switch so you can use a combination of both or each one individually for a good range of sounds. There is a later signature under the hood and in the neck pocket I believe from the person who modded the electrics. You can get a massive muddy sub or articulate midrange from it. It looks like it has been stripped of the original finish to natural wood. It’s a good weight for a 70s Fender bass at 4.4kgs and comes with a rather scruffy none original old case that will protect it in transit. The modern thumbrest is wooden and one of the knobs is from a more recent Fender and the pots/wiring has been customised. The original fretboard was removed before I bought it and it had a replacement fretless rosewood board that I had fretted. The bass plays very well up the neck and is comfy and well balanced. It’s a lovely instrument though definitely not one for collectors since it’s been customised. It is an excellent players bass however. I’m open to sensible offers of course. UK only. Pickup preferred but I will post at buyers cost. Would trade for a maple neck US Precision with cash adjustment either way depending on age and condition. Note that the back of the neck is unmarked, very smooth to play with no big dings or dents, or major blemishes, there are some small cosmetic marks and minor bruises but negligible when playing. Pics added.
