  1. Here’s my Thumb NT5 from 1992. You don’t see many with the original fitted case like this, I believe most were shipped with a rock bag as standard so this is nice, and very protective! The case weighs a tonne though! Additionally, I replaced the original brass bridge and tail piece with an official Warwick lighter weight equivalent, this shaved some of the weight off it. It weighs 4.75kg now which is below average (I believe) for one of these. The original hardware will of course be included. I’ve not experienced any neck dive with this Thumb, it balances perfectly. The only wear to note is a small patch above the p’up where the thumb rests. Otherwise it’s stunning. It is setup with a super-low action with no fret buzz anywhere. I’m open to offers. Based in Cardiff, UK. Not particularly interested in trades but you never know. My tastes are for more traditional passive basses at the moment.

  2. White & Tort are the best companions!
  3. Looking for a Stingray at half the price? These were built in the same San Luis Obispo factory and present fantastic bang for your buck. Research them online and you’ll see they are well reviewed. It’s a 2EQ active version built in 2004, finished in white with non-original tort guard. The original aluminium effect guard will be included. You don’t seem to see so many of the white variety. It has a few marks, the worst of which I’ve photographed on the rear of the body. It’s otherwise in great shape. It plays and sounds exactly as a Stingray should, nice low action too. Trial / collection from Cardiff is welcomed. Happy to post also. No case but can be well protected for shipping.
  4. I recently got one of these, great basses, wasn’t really any difference between it and a custom shop I used to own. GLWTS.
  5. They’re Jaydee’s SN2000 pickups, same as those in most of their basses.
  6. A Thunderbird had always been on my wish list, I got this one recently when it came up for sale locally. The sound is huge but I just can't get fully comfortable with the ergonomics. According to Mr. John Diggins, less than 10 of these were produced so somewhat rare. I believe the year of production was '84. Mahogany body & neck, Ebony fingerboard. Schaller tuners. When I got this, the bridge was in a bad way, the screws had seized up making adjustments difficult, the bridge was sent to Jaydee and they refurbished it, adding one of the securing screws that was missing which was matched to the others for the correct aesthetic. It's fully operational now. The truss rod turns both ways without issue. It's a great instrument that has been clearly played a lot. It's a relic...full of light scratches, scrapes and dings (difficult to photograph due to the black finish), nothing significant and no neck break! I don't have a case for it but I have plenty of bubble wrap and a suitable box for shipping. UK shipping will be £30 but collection from Cardiff much preferred. I'll consider trades, a Jaydee Roadie would be ideal or a Stingray. Feedback thread here:
  7. Ryan bought a pair of PJB headphones from me. Super speedy payment and great communication. All good!
  8. Ian and I traded Fenders, J for P! Ian drove well out of his way (and in terrible weather conditions) to meet at a location that was certainly more convenient for myself. Total gent, smooth transaction, bass as described. Would happily deal with again.
  9. 2 sets of DR Sunbeams, Nickel 40-95. Put these on my Jazz basses for a change however too light for me. Only a few hours of play on both sets. Cut for a Fender Bass. One set has a box, the other doesn’t. £20 for the pair, posted in the UK.
  10. I recently acquired these in the sale on guitarguitar, bought them cause they were cheap, wore them for 5 mins and realised that whilst they sound excellent, my existing headphones do the job fine for practice. Just looking to get my money back as guitarguitar won’t accept returns on headphones. £55 posted to your UK address.
  11. I've been playing it a little today and I'm impressed with the sound and overall quality. Neck feels lovely, P-ish width but shallow front to back. I think it's an ebony fretboard but not 100% - it needs a good clean so could be Rosewood. Unfortunately one of the bridge height adjustment screws is not shifting despite a little WD40 and elbow grease, I snapped an Allen key trying to turn it : ( I think it's going to require a trip to my local tech. Thanks for this, I've sent an email over so hopefully I'll hear something. Does anyone know which tool is required to adjust the truss rod? I'm only familiar with fender-type rods and this is different, looks like a nut that would need a socket wrench thingy....
  12. It balances great! Feels quite light too, I haven't weighed it but I'm guessing around the 4kg mark.
  13. Another impulse purchase on my part. This came up locally and intrigued me, I'm a sucker for black with gold hardware - I have a much loved BB3000 with the same. It's been heavily gigged by the looks of it, plenty of scrapes and dings but nothing overly significant. Played by a chap in an 80's metal band called Samurai! I've found a couple of photo's online of the bass in a strong hair-metal context (one of which I've added below...)! I've never owned a Jaydee before and can't seem to find much information about these online. I'm assuming it was a custom order. If anyone knows anything about them, I'd love to hear. It plays surprisingly well and has a massive sound, even unplugged. I would like to reduce the action a bit however the bridge screws (Allen key type) seem to have seized up and won't turn. Also, how do you lower the pickups on these? Cheers.
  14. Happy to ship anywhere however the buyer would have to cover these costs. Only trade I would potentially consider would be an early Warwick Thumb or Dolphin.
  15. This is another great Jazz bass from my collection. I also have a CS '64 jazz bass for sale here and there's not a huge amount between them. It's a limited edition run (or FSR) in Daphne Blue with matching headstock. There are differing accounts online regarding how limited the run was but from what I can ascertain there were likely 50 for the American market and 50 for the European market, as such, they don't come up for sale that often. This one is in near mint condition, it has not been gigged, only home use. The only (very slight) blemishes are where the chrome covers have been attached as the nitro finish is very light. It has numerous case candy and a rather nice cream G&G case. Pics now added! Weight is 4.05 kg Collection and Trial welcome in Cardiff, UK. I have a feedback thread here on BC.
  16. Re-listed, I would like to keep this (and am tempted to) but I'm needing to raise some funds now for a studio-related project. I got this recently from binkybongo from this forum. These images are from the original thread. It's a great sounding, lightweight (4kg) jazz bass, one of the best I've played. Really strong, even tone across the fretboard. It has numerous light scratches which are difficult to see and some dings (pictured). Collection and trial welcome in Cardiff, UK. Happy to discuss shipping options to anywhere. I have a feedback thread here on BC. Cheers. Feedback here:
  17. Steve Harris for me. His sound attracted me to the instrument when I was at college; galloping, clanky, aggressive tone, always driving the song.
  18. Lovely looking bass! Another bump for a great seller...
  19. This is a tough decision but here’s my ‘08 CV P bass, I believe this was the first run of the model. Its in excellent condition, a couple of marks on the side of the body and some discolouration where the bridge cover once sat. The pick guard still has the plastic covering on it. This is one of the nicest P basses I’ve ever played and it delivers the classic sound with the TI flats that are currently installed. The original wiring loom has been replaced for KiOGon solderless however I’ll include the original along with the original bridge cover. Collection in Cardiff preferred as I don’t have a case or a box for this bass at present.
  20. I’d love to get my hands on a 3000MA but from what I can tell, they don’t come up very often...
  21. Out of interest, is there much difference between the 3000 and 3000MA, other than cosmetics..?
  22. I’ve never seen that either! I’d wanted to try the BB3000MA just to see what the reverse P config is like on a 3000. Strange they dropped that feature for this model.
  23. The body dimensions on the older BB’s are slightly different, they’ve slimmed down the new range a little... slightly ironic given they’re ‘broad basses’. The new ones also have standard pickup dimensions which means more retro-fitting potential.
  24. A ‘75 P Bass. Here in the FS section.
