Set of three O-ring knobs from Hipshot. New and never used. The shiny chrome shows several reflections and highlights that can look like dings. However they are new and never used.

Bought this on this site about a year ago from TheGreek. Got it for a project that never panned out – and then there was the pandemic! Comes with basic gig bag. Lovely instrument and amazing for the price. It’s a few years old and has various dings and scrapes consummate with age – see pictures. See TheGreek’s description for more. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/366820-sold-bass-collection-nanyo-310-sold/

Bought this on this site about a year ago from Sharkfinger. This bass is very lightweight at just under 3Kgs and medium scale. It has a natural body (alder or basswood) and satin neck. Headstock has a dark wood veneer. There’s a very small bit of buckle rash on the back. Pickups are probably the original ceramic. All passive controls are volume, blend and tone. It has standard BBoT bridge and 38mm nut width. Would prefer pickup from Farnham, Surrey, but can ship for another £20.00 Have a look at Sharkfinger’s original post: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/403563-sold-yamaha-motion-b-mb-40-medium-scale/

Hipshot set of chrome 4-in line Y type tuning pegs ½ inch I got these a couple of years ago for a project, but ended up selling the bass instead. So the pegs were never actually used and are therefore mint in the original package (except for the one I removed for photographing). These go for around £80.00 a set. I am asking £45.00 including shipping, so get a bargain

Hipshot set of chrome 2 + 2 Y type tuning pegs 3/4 inch I got these a couple of years ago for a project, but ended up selling the bass instead. So the pegs were never actually used and are therefore mint. These go for around £80.00 a set. I am asking £45.00 including shipping, so get a bargain.

Here’s a bargain at £60.00 including shipping in UK. The usual price for this is around £100.00 or more. I got this a couple of years ago for my Epiphone Rumblekat bass, but ended up selling the bass and moving on. So the bridge was never actually used and is therefore mint. Among other things this bridge makes the bass easier to set up. You can adjust individual string height for example and more easily correct intonation. Also, no more losing the string saddle when you break a string on a gig. It has Chrome finish with two sets of bolts. It fits a large range of Gibson and Epiphone basses that have the 3 point bridge. Here is Hipshot’s description: Machined from aircraft grade aluminum for maximum precision and durability Innovative micro-adjust saddle design allows for an additional 1/16" [1.5mm] of side-to-side adjustment for even greater string spacing possibilities String silks guaranteed to stay behind the saddles, where they belong Bridge fits flush to the top of the bass for maximum tone transference Two point mounting configuration replaces the three Quick load slots make string changes easy and keep those sharp ball ends away from your finish See more plus a lot of testimonials here: https://hipshotproducts.com/products/supertone-gibson-bass-replacement-bridge Also some more description here: https://www.projectguitar.com/product_reviews/guitar_parts/hipshot-supertone-retrofit-bass-bridge-r6/ (I also have a couple of hipshot tuning peg sets for sale here – 4 in line and 2+2)

Doh - What's the punchline.

Thanks, Three. Great summing up of the quality of the instrument. Should have consulted you on my posting.

Yup. Still available.

PRICE REDUCED TO £1450.00 I bought this some time ago from bass-chatter Grantd. I love this bass and am reluctant to let it go. However something needs to go to raise some money for another project. The Spector Shorty was originally designed for Garry Tallent of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band. These are among the nicest short scale basses you can buy. And this one is especially so with the dark quilted maple body. The bass has a special neck design by bassist Doug Wimbish using a narrower nut than the original. This gives it even better playability. This is also in line with most other short scale basses I have owned. The bass is in as-new condition having never been gigged.

Can be picked up from Farnham, or I can ship with full insurance for another £70.00. Since Evil-bay are currently offering a £1 final value fee, I’ve put on it on there too.

OK. I'll consider offers on this.

£1750.00 collected. Insured shipping would add another £70.00. Mouse 30 Walnut Fretted Short Scale Bass. I purchased this gorgeous hand-made instrument from Basschatter Grantd, a few months ago. It was pretty much in mint condition then and still is, having not been gigged or taken out at all. However, in spite of how much I love this bass, I need to rationalise the collection and this isn’t getting the use it should. This Mouse features an alder body/eastern walnut top with faux tortoiseshell binding, an eastern walnut neck/Indian rosewood fingerboard with integrated thumb-rest, and matching Indian rosewood bridge. The Mouse 30 Fretted produces the same full rich tone as the Mouse 30 fretless but for players that prefer a fretted instrument. It comes with a nicely fitting semi-rigid Protec gig bag. 30" scale Neck woods- black walnut, mahogany Mandolin sized frets 1 5/8" nut 23/32" string spacing at bridge Semi-hollow body design with solid centre block Fully shielded body cavity Body finish: polyurethane modified oil Neck finish: nitrocellulose lacquer Single volume control integrated in bridge Fishman preamp & piezo pickup La Bella 760n black nylon wrap strings Hipshot Ultralight tuners Weight 5.5 lbs.

Hi Dazed, I'm based in Farnham, Surrey, near Guildford. According to Kiesel, in reply to my inquiry, no work would be required to change to a B - G setup. I don't have any sounds to indicate the low B. However if you have a look at this clip from around 8:20, there is some discussion about this.

Can I take it, looking at the Rob Allen website, that the bass has position markers on the side of the neck. Also can you say something about age and condition?

From Farnham, Surrey. Near Guildford and Farnborough
