  1. I bought this bass off Fleabay recently, it has been the subject of a discussion on here. It's a great bass made from quality US parts from the Mighty Mite USA factory and assembled in the UK by Peter Cook Guitars. It was made in the 80's and this example has been professionally refinished in a striking red! The hardware is brass and gold with Schaller tuners. It's numbered 30 of a limited edition. It sounds great and the action is very low. It plays as well as my US Fenders and JVs. I'm selling as it's just a tad too heavy for me at 4.8kgs. Electrics have been cleaned and it's been strung with 40-100 Roto roundwounds. I'm looking for what I paid and I reckon it's a bargain for such a good pro quality instrument. No case. Sorry no trades. Pickup preferred but I will post at buyers cost, UK only.SOLD
  2. It's certainly good quality and the hardware is all first class Schaller etc. The chap who tried to sell it on here wanted a good deal more for it but I don't think it's worth anywhere near what he was asking.... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/212389-mighty-mite-4-string-bass-guitar-for-sale/ I did take a gamble on it but if I were to play it in a shop I'd think it was underpriced at £250.
  3. I got this - I had contacted the seller and asked all the usual questions, the frets are low and flat but the bass plays very well. It's every bit as good as my Fender and nearly as nice as my JV Precisions although it is a wee bit heavier than the Squiers. Quality is superb, a 'proper' pro US parts bass for not very much cash. I'm pleased with the sound too it's got a nice growl only tamed when using it in conjunction with the Jazz pickup. It has been advertised on here too a few years ago and for a good deal more than I paid. Nice to see bargains still come up on Fleabay. God knows how long I'll hold on to it for though as I bought a Gordy headless bass at the same time! 😩
  4. Another smooth transaction with Karl, good to see you again and hope you are happy with the bass! Cheers Ash
  5. Sold thanks for all the interest it's gone to a very good home
  6. This came from a Fender Jazz I recently bought but I don't need it. It's an original Fender logo D Tuner with the Hipshot logo engraved on it - see pics. Excellent condition comes with the mounting screws though one is in poor condition and will probably need replacing. The Tuner works as it ought to. Postage can be arranged if needed UK only.
  7. Sold pending payment - that was quick!
  8. Ha ha it is rather striking I took it to a gig last night and our drummer said you could lose yourself to the Darkside with that bass!
  9. All black Fuji-gen Fender MIJ Precision Bass with gigbag. E Series serial number manufactured in the mid 1980's. It's light weight at under 9lbs and balances well. It is powerful sounding and has been looked after with only minor scuffing and wear to the body, neck and black chrome finish. No big knocks or chips and a tiny ding just above the volume control. Aftermarket heavier bridge that has had a couple of the stripped grub screws replaced. Great construction and quality, lots of life in the frets, truss rod adjusts, typical P Bass feel. Gigbag is scruffy and has been repaired but functions. No trades sorry, UK only. I can post at buyers cost.
  10. Nice where are you based? Is there a case with it? Thanks
  11. I thought as much body looks like a Hohner or something. Cheers
  12. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Jazz-Bass-Special-Guitar-1987-Custom-Black-With-Case-Receipt-/272671251896?hash=item3f7c791db8:g:MLIAAOSw5cNYOvxs The body seems an odd shape for this style bass and bridge alignment looks wonky or is it simply the angle of the photo? Plus slight exaggeration of value of case!
  13. Many thanks it's a lovely looking thing, the headstock paint job is unusual for a Sandberg. Thanks for posting.
  14. I'd love to see pics however the link keeps inviting me to install an application - that I don't want. Could you possibly add one picture of the bass for those of us who want to see what people are getting excited about Cheers!
  15. It's always a quandary with these things isn't it? I can only say I've had many Precisions US, MIJ, and custom jobs and this ranks as one of the best, the neck is much flatter than usual and very comfy, the weight is nice and light. Never felt a lighter 70's Precision. I'm only selling because I got my old Jazz bass back after it was missing in action for 20 odd years! Thanks for your interest!
  16. The bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan Basslines and the neck from a 1980's Fender Japan Jazz. Both work as they ought to with a nice punchy sound. No issues and in good cosmetic condition. Now sold thanks!
  17. My JV Jazz bass has the woven wiring and so do both my JV Precisions. If you look at the 21 frets site (dedicated JV material and info) you'll see lots of pics with this kind of wiring.
  18. That's light for a G&L
