This might be the cheapest way to find out if the Bass VI experience is for you. You don't see these around too often, so it'll be a nice cheap experiment for someone.

This is an OLP MM5 baritone with a 30" scale. It's strung (with some very old strings) as a Bass VI, ie a full octave below a normal guitar. It includes a new set of Ernie Ball strings so you'll be ready to go as soon as it arrives.

If you're into seriously doomy stuff you could also string this as a very downtuned guitar (I think this is what it was originally designed for, but I'm a bassplayer so I've always seen it as a Bass VI). Those of you with luthier skills could probably turn this into a very nice short-scale 4-string without too much work.

Here are the specs:


- 30" scale neck
- Overall length of 40 inches
- 22 frets
- Rosewood fretboard
- "North American Maple" neck
- Basswood body
- String-thru bridge
- OLP tuners
- OLP pickups
- 3-way pickup selector
- Made in China

It's in pretty nice condition, set up well. The finish has the odd mark but nothing as brutal as a proper scratch or chip.

I'm looking for £120 plus shipping costs. I live in London if you want to pick it up to save money.

A Stagg jazz bass body and neck. Bought new a couple of years ago and never played. In very good nick (having never been used!). Can you tell that I'm clearing our projects?

Only available for pick up. I live in Holloway (N7) and work near Euston.

Free to a good home!

I've had this bass a few years, and never really got on with it. I'm a bass guitar player and I always will be!

I picked it up on this here forum from a seller whose name I forget. He was based in Lee-on-Solent if that's any help. I don't know how old it is, but the figure of 1930s is in my head for some reason. Anyway, it's old, it's all play, and it's had a repair to the neck in the past (probably before a lot of us were born). It's loud. That's the main reason I bought it - a pro double bassplayer friend tried it out for me and said it was really loud for an instrument in this price range.

It's fitted with a Realist and a set of basically unused Helicore Hybrid Strings in Medium. Its only issue is that the fingerboard lifts slightly from the neck when you play hard. I would suggest that you get a luthier to glue it back down, but adventurous purchasers might want to try themselves.

SOLD and you will HAVE to pick it up from my flat in London, N7.

Now sold. Thanks everyone!

I'm not sure how it is as a 4 - never tried it! Joe will know, though. He uses his as a 4, I think.

This is still for sale. Just come back from the tech, where all the pots and switches were cleaned and wiring sorted out. Now in perfect working order and ready for a buyer!

I thought this might get some chatter going. Looks like someone wants it, which is good.

Wait till you see what I'm selling next.

For sale my loved, but rarely-used Kramer 8-string. Looks strange, sounds amazing. You can read about this model, and similar Kramer Aluminium necks here: [url="http://www.vintagekramer.com/alum.htm"]http://www.vintagekramer.com/alum.htm[/url]

The controls on this are very detailed - tone and volume for each humbucker, plus coil tap switches for each humbucker, and a 3-way selector switch. You do need this range of controls. As you can imagine this bass can get very trebly with new strings on, and it's good to be able to tame it. It does a fantastic cathedrally 8-string sound without much fiddling.

This bass is over 30 years old, and looking good for its age. There is the odd nick to the varnish, but as you can see from the pictures they're pretty hard to spot. The bass comes with a padded Bass Centre bag that fits it. It's not the prettiest bag in the world, but it does the job.

This bass is 32" scale (I think - I'm sure Joe Garcia will set me straight if not!). As far as I know it's all original, apart from one screw on the neck plate.

[b]Price is SOLD[/b] which will include shipping in the UK if required. I can bring it to train stations that aren't too far from London (basically anywhere that's less than £20 return!) if you'd like a courier-free transaction (I have no car to deliver it).

This is still here, so a price drop is in order. £275 shipped. Perfect for the festival season!

I have one I'll happily sell, and could bring to Cheltenham in mid-June.

But I'd want £250 for it. If memory serves it has nicer strings than stock (D'Addarios, I think) on it.

I just took this off my old Rickenfaker, having decided to make it look a bit more retro with its original bridge.

In excellent condition. A bit dusty but otherwise good. A real upgrade in sound and adjustability terms from a Rick bridge, and fits all the old japanese copies.

This is the chrome version, and I think it's brass underneath the chrome (judging from the weight).

Yours for £70 shipped to the UK.

PRICE DROP to £300 shipped.

Nope, sorry. I hear that it's fairly easy to get them, though - the MB Fusion rack ears fit.

Here is my spare GK MB2-500 (one of the original US made ones, not the newer Chinese-made MB500). Light, powerful, unabused and in good nick. Bought second hand as a back up from the US, and converted to UK voltage (which just involves moving a jumper inside). Ungigged (by me) because my primary amp has never had any problems.

£320 plus shipping. Come with the original footswitch, and I'm sure I have a kettle lead for it somewhere.

BUMP for price drop. Will take £80 for this.

I picked this Pedal Train 2 up from Higgie a couple of weeks back, but it's just too big for me. I've picked up a Pedal Train Jr instead.

It's the soft case version with external pocket, and basically as-new.

Just after what I paid (via trade) - £90.

Can post at cost or meet in London for handover.
