Due to Man Flu, I'm not going to be going down to the studio tonight, so won't be able to take pics. I will look through My photos and dig some existing shots from gigs etc if anyone wants some images before I can get some snaps taken. Open to sensible offers BTW,

Will split As individual sales - TH500 £475.00 SLL112 cabs £475 Send postcode and can get a quote for posting or poss meet as I travel with work around N WWest England and Mids a little. Photos at bottom of thread Due to me scaling back the gigs, I'm looking to move on my awesome and mint condish Aguilar Bass rig on. It consists of an Aguilar Tonehammer 500 Head with Pelicase and 2 Aguilar SL112 Cabs in black. Both cabs fully flightcased also - one is a castle cases one which cost over £220 and the other I bought off here for around £90 IIRC. Due to me being so anal about looking after my gear and the fact that the only time they come out of the cases is to play a gig, they are all essentially unmarked - I'll confirm with some snaps. Because the gigs I've played are always with full PA, It's only ever used for on stage monitoring really, so It's never been pushed and driven hard at all. Collection preferred, although I do travel around the North West UK and Midlands with work so can possibly look at some sort of meet up if it works out - the weight and size of the cabs in the flightcases would make postage prohibitive, which is why I'm saying UK only buyers. No Trades. As you know, brand new, this set up would cost you somewhere in the region of £2100 plus the cases (another £430 or so) so a total of £2500.00 so it's a really good saving on new prices. Cabs are circa £700 each or thereabouts https://www.andertons.co.uk/aguilar-sl112-super-light-weight-1x12-cab Head is around £700 https://www.andertons.co.uk/aguilar-amplifier-tone-hammer-500-super-light-bass-head Peli case is around £115 https://peliproducts.co.uk/cases/im2200-storm-case.html One of the flightcases his here at over £200. https://www.castlecases.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=137_213&product_id=3129

WITHDRAWN FROM SALE £2950.00 Hello all! This is a feeler for the sale my awesome condition 1973 / 74 Fender Jazz bass in Sunburst. Its RW board, block inlays and bound. Photos are here in my photobucket album - http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/bassintheface/library/Fender Jazz Bass 1973 - 1974 It's in really excellent condition with only a couple of minor chips which I've tried to clearly show on the pics. The serial number on the neck plate is 509063 which is 1973 / 1974 which puts it as one of the last 4 bolt neck versions out of Fullerton before they went to the bullet truss rod and 3 bolt neck in 1974 / 75. The CTS pot codes date the bass to 5th Week 1974 - Jan / Feb (1377405) so the feedback on the age was that it was likely put together very late 1973 or very early 1974 - as you know with Fender around this time, its a combination of date stamps that help you get an age of an instrument. It comes with a generic hardcase and re issue versions of the pickup cover and ashtray from a USA 70's reissue. I will get neck end photos and pickup photos - from memory, you can only see a stamp on the bridge pickup now since the rewind of the neck pick up - its 5 years or so since Matt had it open, so will check his photos and hopefully add to the photobucket album above - if not, I'll have to get it opened up. I bought it from a friend around 5 or 6 years ago and the story was (note that this is completely unsubstantiated) that it belonged to Andy Scott of the Sweet and was used for recording /demos and never gigged, hence the condition. I really don't know if this is true and no one will ever know, but Andy Scott is from my hometown of Wrexham so it is plausible. The bass had been unplayed for a number of years prior to my purchase and upon getting it, the neck pickup didn't work and the elecs were intermittent and crackly. I swiftly sent it over to the very excellent Matthew John Bascetta in Chester - http://www.mjbluthier.co.uk/ for a full clean, pro set up and a rewind of the neck pick up - Matt is also the guy behind the excellent 'House of Tone' pickups - https://www.houseoftonepickups.com/ and he did a full rewind using period correct wire and hand winding, inc wax potting - you can see him at work below. It now plays beautifully and sounds, IMO awesome! Feel free to ask any questions - I'd just appreciate PM's with an expression of interest initially as I really don't want to sell it being honest, but it lives at home (non smoking household) and don't gig it our of fear of damaging it. You won't find many in this condition. No trades, viewing welcome. Cash on collection or bacs. I don't want to post this out of fear of it being damaged!

sweet bass Tim

What a beautiful bass.
