This is the final goal:

We did start to go down that route... but there's no record at all of any of these being made in anything other than the 3 competition colours at the time, so it must've been fully stripped!

Ever since seeing Daryl Jones with the stones years ago I've longed for a matching headstock 1969 Competition Mustang. A few have appeared here but never at the right time, and the prices have been climbing steadily! Unexpectedly this barely playable example wandered into my local shop, and after 2 weeks of discussions it's finally mine. As you can see, an early 80s slightly ropey refin hides what we think is originally a 'Competition Burgundy' (Lake Placid Blue). I'm thankful they did, as it made it almost affordable for me. The headstock has been done in hearing aid beige for some bizarre reason, otherwise I'd be tempted to leave as is. . Aside from the finish, she seems remarkably original, and now the truss rod is moving and I have fitted some old flats, it's every bit the bass I was looking for. So now, with the help of Eternal Guitars on the south coast, we have started on a mission to restore the original finish. We'd love to know for sure which colour it was originally but there doesn't seem to be a way to find out. Any wisdom welcome, as the stripping is underway!

1 Fender Neo Bassman 410 cab in used but cared for condition with a padded cover. Big warm sounding 410 but doesn't lack high end should you want it. I have recently acquired a 610 from the same line, which I am enjoying immensely, so it's time to let this go! Delivery might be possible but would far prefer to arrange some kind of meet up on this. I am trekking around the country a bit over the next few months so anything is possible. Replaced castors a few months ago.

Kithara short scale - anyone tried one of these?

This little bass caught my attention... and accidentally fell into my bass rack! -
Purchased a Jam Ripple from @bassbora... everything as you'd expect from a good basschatter!

Just returned to the land of Wonderlove thanks to @Al Krow... always a pleasure!

Up for grabs is a Sire Z3, picked up from Andertons late last year and showing no signs of use. Going through the usual cycle of 'sell anything that's not a P!' Lovely satin neck with rolled edges, 3 band preamp. Will remove straplocks and refit original buttons. Price includes UK shipping. Very happy to hand over in person, and will be travelling a little over the next few weeks. . . .

Still trying to find the right strings for a particularly fussy P bass... as as much as i prefer these to the fatter set, the bass prefers the higher tension! Barely played 5-string set with an unused B string, and cut for a 4 string P as it stands, so plenty of length on the G for either setup. Price includes UK postage.

Bought a Barefaced Twin from @Paddy544... looked after it for me for a few months and delivered it to my soundcheck when i was nearby. Kept me reassured the whole time and was delightful company. Big Recommend!

Mark confirms... not one of his!

@Quatschmacher Great question... not sure if I'd discovered Stringjoy at that point so likely to be D'addario EXL170, or possibly Curt Mangan Nickels! Edit.. Kinda looks like a 105 on the bottom which would suggest CMs...
-
@e28m54 SV for sure! More versatile. If there isn't anything up on this forum at the moment, I do know someone with one for sale so feel free to give me a PM!

Happy to discuss a package deal, no trades but sensible offers welcome! Fender Rumble 800HD Head £420 Just over a year old, went through a few to find one I liked as there's quite a disparity between them! Selling due to Jad Freer incoming... Speakon and power cables included. Fender Rumble 210 cab with a great padded cover. £290 A few marks from use but hasn't seen a whole lot of action (I have an older one i tend to use when just going single-cab). Head slots into cab for tidy combo-style tiltbackability! Collection/Delivery preferred (and i do travel a bit), but i do have a shipping box for it too. .
