I think this has been featured on here before.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1983-RARE-Reeve-Guitars-Alligator-Boutique-Custom-Vintage-UK-Wal-Bass/123664457431?hash=item1ccaf9ded7:g:uWUAAOSw6fBcdGla

Yes they were set necks

Okay look at the way the bridge has been mounted with routing firstly, but the headstock inlays are wrong - similar to a later RD Artist? The body looks legit but are the ‘inlays’ stickers or aftermarket custom jobs? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1972-Gibson-SB450-Vintage-Bass-Guitar/273721505591?hash=item3fbb12b737:g:BZIAAOSww4Jcb71G

I messaged them when I first saw it but haven’t heard back. I’d like to see if the wiring is cloth with brass plates under the pickup. The knobs have been changed - usually on older JVs the chrome flakes off. It would look great in my collection but I’m miles from them ☹️

Musicman StingRay HH 4 Bass Cased US made approximately 2015 The bass is in near new condition with only minor finish blemishes on the edge of the body. The bass has been rarely played and has spent most of its life in its case. I am the second owner and I bought it as I wanted to try the HH version of a StingRay. I prefer a maple board however therefore I’m looking to sell it to buy a maple neck option unless someone has a Musicman bass with maple neck to trade? I’ve not seen an HH in white before and it really gives it a vintage look. It comes with all case accessories and keys, string wipes, etc. all unopened. It’s finished in creamy white or vintage white if you prefer. It weighs 4.4kgs and is well balanced and very comfortable to play. Frets are as new and the rosewood board is lovely and dark with a satin feel neck. One odd thing is that the strap buttons are a pewter colour to my eyes but there isn’t evidence to suggest they have been changed as they look like standard buttons for an EB strap lock system. The bass has the usual MM trussrod and original bridge all working as they ought to. The hardware and electrics are top quality. It has a good action and plays very well, set up for my tastes and is currently strung with 40-100 Rotos. Here’s the Musicman blurb... Featuring a dual alnico-backed humbucker design, five-way selector switch for easy combination toggling and the coveted built-in three-band equalization, the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 4 HH offers double humbuckers for great tonal variation. Cash on pickup preferred but I can post within the UK if needed at buyers cost. Trade wise I’m ONLY interested in Musicman US made basses with maple boards, I’m not interested in Bongos or SUBs. Thanks for looking! To clarify I’m looking at trades at a similar value. A straight swap your maple board MM for mine. Single pickup classic MMs also considered. SOLD elsewhere

Nice enough bass and decent start price but predictive text fail... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Deluxe-Preston-Prescription-Bass-Guitar-USA-made/292928744716?hash=item4433e9ed0c%3Ag%3Ach4AAOSw3GlcRrUz&LH_ItemCondition=3000

A very Geddy looking MIM Jazz Bass for sale with maple neck and black finish. The bass plays and sounds as a Jazz ought to and is light and well balanced at around 8.3lbs. The neck is in superb condition other than one tiny ding around the 16th fret. The body has a few scuffs and one major ding about the size of a 50p piece where it’s sustained a knock. The paint part is cracked and has been glued and there is an area of bare wood . I was planning to patch this with some black enamel but haven’t got round to it yet as it’s not visible from the front. Neck is straight and frets are good, it’s spent it’s time as a spare recently so since taking the pics I’ve put on some fairly new rotosound strings. It really has got a lovely neck, very slim with a satin finish. Extremely comfortable to play over long gigs. It comes with a Fender gigbag. No trades. I’m only selling as I’ve just got a Musicman Bass. Pickup preferred UK only post at buyers cost. PS open to sensible cash/PayPal gift offers of course! I’ve now touched up the ding and added Roto strings. Plays superbly and has that real Jazz mid range honk to it.

Dan bought my Squier Telebass quick payment and very easy to deal with. Perfect 👌

The reason I had a good look at it was because I have always liked the look of those simple short cutaway instruments like the first Gibson EBO and Melody Maker guitars. On closer inspection the body looks quite big in comparison to the neck, or is it the picture angle? That bridge arrangement though and what a strange pickup choice. Patrick Eggle also made one with a similar shape I remember.

I’ve been looking at this Precision. Can’t work out is it a bitsa, an MIJ or MIM or a Highway one. It’s got an interesting history for sure however It doesn’t look like a stock ‘96 US bass to me. I thought that the serial number would be on the back of the headstock. The tuners are definitely from an MIM or cheaper US Fender. Opinions? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Precision-Bass-1996-50th-Anniversary-Edition-in-Sunburst-Tortoiseshell/202552437180?hash=item2f2910e9bc:g:FwkAAOSwQXlcKW3x

He’s been trying to flog that for over a year. Knock a grand off and it may be worth sending a best offer. I love JVs but they are not worth over 2k.
