  1. [b]NEW PRICE: £490. I have over £600 invested this bass, but I need to sell it soon so there it qoes.[/b]

    This beauty was made in 1977 in famous Matsumoku factory in Japan. It has been in my possession for the last 4 years. It was in really bad shape when I got it, so I lovingly brought it back to life. This is the list of things that have been done in course of years:
    - professional re-fret
    - Nordstrand NJ4 single coil pickups
    - Hipshot A-style brass bridge
    - replacement tuners from CIJ Fender jazz
    - threaded inserts for neck/body connection - neck will never shift
    - CTS & Bourns 250k pots
    - bone nut
    - 2x9V battery box in the back of the body - ready for any active electronics
    - copper foil shielding

    Action is low and can go much lower without fret buzz. Fret job was really good. Truss rod is fully functional with a lot more room for adjustment; it moves smoothly and neck is super stable. It intonates perfectly and is in perfect working order. I re-stringed it with new strings yesterday. Body is made of 2 pieces of [s]alder[/s] ash.
    On the bad side, it was played a lot and it shows. There are numerous dings and scratches, but that is expected for almost 40 years old instrument. I thought about having it refinished, but I like it the way it is now.

    This was my number 1 bass for 2 years, but I have been playing my 5 string more and more, so it doesn't see much action anymore.
    I accept Paypal or bank transfer.




    Hi-res pictures can be seen at: [url="https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5MDVjUZ1SpASTBNdGhiTU03UXM&usp=sharing"]https://drive.google...UXM&usp=sharing[/url]

    Thank you for looking! :)

    EDIT: Price dropped to £590.

    I have a Roland Micro Bass Cube, but to be honest, think it is completely rubbish. I have yet to find a situation where it was loud enough to serve any purpose.

    I respecfully disagree. It's a perfect practice amp, loud enough for busking (certainly loud enough to overpower loudest acoustic guitar) . And I even managed to use it in a rehearsal when drummer used brush-sticks. I put it in a corner and it was loud enough to be heard with a drummer and 2 guitars. Granted, it was a quiet rehearsal, but still.

  3. This is completely pre-wired unit ready to be installed into a jazz bass. You only need to solder pickup wires, grounding and battery.
    Plate has an extra hole drilled, but it never bugged me. [s]It is currently installed in my jazz bass, but I will remove it during the next few days (or sooner, if it sells)[/s].
    The configuration is:
    - stacked vol/vol
    - stacked bass/treble
    - push/pull mid (400/800Hz)
    - active/passive switch

    All components used are of highest quality and you can see that the wiring is a pro job. Anyone who tried to wire OBP-3 surely knows that this is not an easy task :).

    What I particularly love about volume pots is that they don't go from 100% to 10% with slightest turn, like a lot of pots do - these move in a very linear fashion so you can fine-tune your volume levels. And as a bonus - since there is no passive tone control (although you can install one), I often use the volume pots to roll-off some high end and that sounds more natural than rolling the highs off using the treble control.

    The price is £130. I accept PayPal or bank transfer.

  4. UPDATE: Price dropped to [b]£70[/b], shipping to Europe included

    I have almost new AMT WH-1B bass wah for sale that was bought new from Thomann a few months ago.
    This is a wonderful little wah that sounds better than Dunlop 105Q and it will fit every pedalboard. I'm only selling it because I bought EBS Stanley Clarke wah recently. It comes with original box.

    For the record, this wah doesn't have a problem with "pop" every tome the switch is engaged, that some of AMT wahs do have.

    Price includes shipping to Europe. I accept PayPal or bank transfer.

  5. The effect is in perfect working order, although it shows some traces of usage.All knobs and switches work as new.

    I'm only selling it because it doesn't fit on my pedalboard anymore. I don't have a box, a manual or a power supply (but it works with any 400mA+ Boss-type adapter so you won't have any trouble powering it).

    The price is £180, which includes shipping to anywhere in Europe. I accept PayPal or bank transfer.

  6. I need help finding a courrier that will ship a bass to Croatia, and not cost an arm and a leg. I checked Parcel2Go and it looks like TNT is the cheapes - 100GBP insured. That's still a bit too much, so I'd like to find a cheaper solution.

    Thanks!
