Just bought Yamaha Motion MBIII bass from Benedict. Smooth flawless transaction, very rapid shipping and excellent packaging.

Instrument as described. Would not hesitate to do business with again.

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.

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:

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

Just bought a lovely Mensigner fretless bass in near perfect condition from Loz. Very smooth transaction. Excellent packing and fast delivery. Recommended.

Bought Yammy MB40 from Frank. Very quick and straightforward transaction. The bass was well packed and arrived very quickly.

Thanks Frank 🙂

Just bought a bass from Mick. Paid one day, the next he personally delivered it to a friend of mine living nearby.

Excellent smooth transaction. Thankyou Mick.

That top is a joke. ❤

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.

• Original Spector NS curved body style
• Quilted maple with satin finish
• 30 3/8" scale, 22 frets,
• Deep Socket Neck Insert for maximum sustain and stability
• Graphite Reinforced 3pc Bolt on Rock Maple Neck
• Pau Ferro Fingerboard, 16" radius 
• Brass nut width 1.5"
• Black Hardware, Custom Hipshot A style Brass Bridge
• Gotoh GB70 Tuners
• Dunlop Straplocks.
• Body: Lightweight Swamp ash
• Satin finish
• Aguilar PJ pickups
• Aquilar OBP3 active preamp
• Controls: bass, treble, mid (with push/pull frequency select), volume, volume 
• Weight - 3.7kg
• Comes with robust Fusion gig bag.

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.
• Celluloid nitrate binding on body
• Overall instrument length 38"
• Integrated thumbrest

This is strung B-E-A-D-G – i.e. classic 5 string arrangement.

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.

Just bought a Rob Allen Mouse from Grant. Everything went smoothly from first contact to delivery and bass was in excellent condition as described.

Highly recommended seller.

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

This bass is in pretty new condition. It’s never been gigged. It really has been a spare, but I've never had the occasion to use it. Any apparent nicks, blemishes, etc on the pictures are just highlights/dust etc. The bass is in mint as-new condition.

The bass had been fitted with a new set of flat-wound strings (worth about £40.00).

These Warwicks are of exceptional quality. They are light in weight with a comfortable and smooth playing position.  It has passive "Dynamic Correction" MEC J/J pickups and passive electronics producing the typical Warwick low-end growl along with a clear treble.

These generally go for well over £600.00 new, so this is a great bargain in as-new condition.
