Me too ..well sort of G & L jazz bass (if I can nail the bass lines off of Riot by Ricthcie Kotzen then its worth the outlay) on order, making more room in general 2 basses sold, this and another up for sale. so hopefully 4 out 1 in...for the time being of course ..lol

Lots of bass for lemonade money...

He we have a gear4music round back electro acoustic bass very much in the style of an ovation autumn leaves round back guitar. Its basically new, and has the bonus of a decent setup, oiled fretboard, new strings and fret polish. Changing the strings has been a major boost to its sound quality and I have been amazed by its quality considering its price point. On board tuner and eq. For this money you won't find better. Bought for a project that never happened, so what you have here is a guitar set up and ready to gig, basically new, new strings and £30 cheaper than a new one. NOW SOLD

Here we have the almost legendary USA musicman SUB (Sport Utility Bass) 5 string. So no, its not made in Indonesia or china or whatever... In the early 2000’s, Musicman wanted to produce a financially accessible stingray range. So they built the S.U.B range out of the same factory as the main production line, same hardware, alnico pickup, same pre amp, poplar body, slab cut, hard wearing finished and black painted neck, budget (as in crappy) tin scratchplate. Make no mistake this is a proper job (not a sub standard line as one seller of one of these thought..) ‘cept maybe the scratchplate. . They didn’t make these for long is this is an end of production 2007 model, probably one of the last one off the line. Great condition, plays great look most excellent sporting a stingray classic scratchplate (which is a direct fit no re-drilling btw). Comes with a serviceable flight case. No issues, no dings to the body, minimal wear to the finish on the neck, truss rod works perfectly, restrung, recently cleaned and oiled fretboard, intonation checked and set, no fret wear to speak of. Plug in and play. As the latter day USA builds get really quite eye waveringly expensive, this is Champagne for lemonade money imho. Beautiful and very, very cool.

Here we have a Sire V3, its about 6 months old so pretty much new, intonation, truss rod etc all perfect, action is excellent, fret finish and rolled edge fretboard are superb. As opposed to the v7 (Ash, Poplar) the v3 is a mahogany bodied take of the very successful v7, slightly more trad voicing with different pickups than the v7. This makes this a good all rounder and has the advantage of the excellent Marcus miller pre amp. Through body or top mount through bridge stringing, absolutely nothing to do except play it I guess. As an added bonus I am including a pair of the version 1 5 string pickups from a v7, so a few minutes soldering and you can have that full on Marcus miller vibe going on if that's you thing… Excellent bass but it’s a spare to my sandberg and needs must. The vinyl sticker has only been on there a short time and will come off with ease or leave it on, it makes people smile. Selling because my car has needed a new clutch and MOT work this month and no one wants my body so selling this instead. £280 with pickups £250 without. Now on auction, will be removed if bids received.

I traded recently a 5 string bass for a Sandberg 'aged' 5 string. Very impressed. The aging on the bass isn't just beat the crap out of it, the basses do have a great played in vibe. Not actually being a fan of the road worn thing before I can get it now that I have tried one done well, and the Sandberg folk seem to have it down....GLWTS

no love for it though c'mon folks!!!!

trade on a Spector 4 string ?

18mm (measuring from string centre to string centre).

The Spector coda 4 aren't that common, but lovely basses, narrow string spacing, lovely quilt maple cap under translucent red finish. Black hardware. This isn't the mega expensive US version..I think this is the more accessible Korean pro version, although I cant find a 'made in' label anywhere. The pickups are EMG hz. The bass comes with the black pickup guard option on the neck position, I am not a great fan personally, so I leave it off with the screws in to block the holes (see pic) also supplied in sale. Lovely playing guitar bright and punchy, narrow J type neck, narrow string spacing. A very nicely put together, playing and visually excellent bass. Price droppped as bass now returned to original, and still great btw..pickup spec. Now on auction, will be removed if bids received £275

I'll take it, I am in Rochester will pm you for pickup

Trades ??

These HK basses (and guitars) were a thing about 10 years ago. Something to do with a German importer if memory serves.. Nice build quality with usable hardware...and you have upgraded, Nice. If I hadn't just pull the trigger on a 5 string I'd be interested...GLWTS

hi, slight correction if I may. The SUB series was brought out as an initial attempt to produce a cheaper US built alternative, same factory, same hardware (although not stamped) 2 band EQ from the stingray and a body made from Poplar. So what you really have here is a Stingray classic, |(the scratcplate from a classic actually fits these, I know because I changed it out) before they actually made one, poplar body, painted neck (saved money) and hard wearing tough as old boots paint job (also cheaper as it didn't require polishing or the wood to look fancy) slab cut body (saved on body finishing). I have this exact model (and have owned a few other from the same era..). A classic Musicman bass, don't be fooled by the SUB label or associate it with the later SUB models built outside the USA. So, there is nothing SUB standard (sic) these are excellent basses and well worth the money GLWTS! (apologies is this sounded like a soapbox rant or whatever lol)

Played it some more and decided not to sell it.. The Spector coda 4 aren't that common, but lovely basses, narrow string spacing, lovely quilt maple cap under translucent red finish. Black hardware. This isn't the mega expensive US version..I think this is the more accessible Korean pro version, although I cant find a 'made in' label anywhere. The pickups upgrade is to the most excellent Dimarzio DP123 Jazz pickups from the EMG hz original. I fitted them to open up the voicing a bit. Can be returned to stock and price adjusted accordingly, happy to be flexible. Originals EMG Hz will be included in the sale. The bass comes with the pickup guard option on the neck position, I am not a great fan personally, so I leave it off with the screws in to block the holes (see pic) also supplied in sale. Lovely playing guitar bright and punchy (both types of pickups slightly more lower mids with the dimarzio's) , narrow J type neck, narrow string spacing. All round an excellent thing, selling due to pulling the trigger on a(nother) Musician SUB US version and the bank computer says no. (btw the pics mostly show the EMG's on board...The dimarzio's have adjustable pole pieces in black). Can revert to stock and drop price to £325ono Interested I P bass trades of similar value with cash adjustment etc.

if my warwick sells i am on this...

I am now selling my Warwick thumb 4 string. All the usual Warwick quality, bell brass frets, active, wenge board, belly cut body, bolt on neck. Condition is excellent, setup is superb, sporting a relatively fresh set of elixir nano webs. . I got it by swap with someone fine bass chat member in France last year and love it, nothing but great tone as you would expect. If you aren't up with Warwick there are some great demo's on youtube and very accurate to the way this one plays. This is German build, not aware of them being built outside germany but could be wrong, anyway this is of germanic origin instrument. Downsizing the herd and paying some bills is kind of the idea, and not playing as much to warrant a collection of such finery. Ideally I am looking for a sale, but would be interested in trades against Stingrays, US build G & L's or Lakland 55-02 of same value. Comes with folder, wax, tools and manuals etc. pics show how great she looks and the two little dints on the tail near the strap button. The MEC gold lettering on the neck pickup shows signs of wear, mentioned only for a completeness. This bass is lovely.
