*** SOLD *** Up for grabs is my Ashbory Mini Bass. Comes in a fetching Red with gig-bag, packet of slyde-rite (talcum powder), spare new-in-the-packed official E-A-D strings and two off-brand G-strings (well, one bit of silicon long enough to make 2 - the G string is notorious for snapping in the gig bag so I bought enough to make several but haven't had an issue since putting this string one). Bought in the USA from LargeSound.com and imported sometime around 2008, it has been in my collection ever since. Gigged twice, rehearsed with a couple of times. Played sporadically. Reason for selling is that it has lived on the wall for the last year and it should be moved on. It's fun to play, I just don't have a band that utilises it any more. It's located in Chertsey and I can deliver to Woking or Central London. Postage is possible - ping me a message and we can negotiate. Sale preferred. £140 £120 £100 is the price. The history of the Ashbory bass is here if you're interested. https://photos.app.goo.gl/QxFvuJ2TpJFuymVp2

Phew.

I've used them in Bluegrass and orchestral situations and they've been fine. The have a nice pop and growly tail.

Oh my goodness. Have a "if I were a rich man" bump.

No love? Sad face. Bump and a price drop. £700

Location?

I bought the OBT, I tried it out through this cab and it's in perfect nick. I've got one myself and it's a steal at this price!

SOLD

Up for grabs is my 2004 Zeller Double Bass, including: Bass Bow Gewa Case (not pictured) quiver All this for only £750 £700. I bought this many years ago (I recon 2008), and it has served me well in orchestral situations, and taken me as far as ABRSM grade 6 classical. It's strung with orchestral strings at the moment. This bass was set up by Malcom Healy of Healy violins. This Zeller double bass features a carved solid spruce front, laminated maple back, sides and amber gold varnish. It is fitted with an ebony fingerboard and tailpiece and full plate machines. This is local pick-up from Chertsey / Woking / Central London only. I will deliver for petrol money within 100 miles. It does show signs of having been used for 8 years by myself. The previous owner was extremely careful of it so most of these are a result of having been left on the floor. Reasons for selling: I haven't played it for 2 years. I left the orchestra after moving house and having a child. I keep promising myself to go back one day but it hasn't materialised. This is too nice (and cumbersome) to have sitting around. I'll get photos of the gewa case if it's a deal breaker. Upper body bashes. lower body bashes. Dated. Easier than taking a p-bass neck off. The back is ply. There is a discoloured band on the fingerboard.

For sale, one barefaced midget-t with adjustable tweeter (mk 2). Bought new from Barefaced direct several years ago, and it has had some good use. I bought it to go atop the compact, but I prefer the sound of just the compact so I'm moving this on. The details are on the barefaced site, and I'm pretty sure you know what you're getting into. http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/midget.htm There are a few scuffs in the tolex, but nothing too bad. Collection is preferred from Woking, Chertsey or Central London. I will deliver within 100 miles of TW20 for petrol money or train fare. If you are further afield I am happy to ship, but at your expense, and it will be UPS direct and insured to the full value. Trade options: Fender USA P-bass (+ balance of cash to you). Feedback is here:

Bumps and more photos: Scratch on the lower horn (it's not as bad in real life) Buckle rash (it's there, I can't get it to show up on a photo) Was asked about fret wear. Very, very light.

*** SOLD *** Up for grabs is my Sadowsky NYC VINTAGE PJ4 Jazz body and neck with Precision pickup in the middle and a Jazz style pickup at the bridge. It is in excellent condition. Nice and light. Superb tone, slim neck and quick playing action. Weight: 7.8 lbs. Serial: 5780. FINISH | '59 Burst BODY | Alder NECK | Maple 21 frets FINGERBOARD | Ebony, 12" Radius, 1 1/2" Nut Width, Vintage Tint PICKGUARD | Tortoise HARDWARE | Chrome PICKUPS | Sadowsky P/J WEIGHT | 7.8 lbs. (3.54 kg) The history of this bass as far back as I know it is: Andy Baxter http://andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=715 sold the bass to psychoandy in the summer of 2014 with "one careful owner". I bought the bass from psychoandy in November of the same year. So it's had three very careful owners. It's no longer quite as pristine as when it arrived to me: there is some buckle rash, a shallow 1" scratch in the lacquer on the player side lower horn (I can't get a decent photo but if it's a deal breaker I can post what I have) - and the output jack has a tendency to work loose. I am selling because I need to liberate some cash for a project (non-bass) I'm working on, and whilst this was once my 'go-to' bass for all occasions, it has fallen out of favour. I have a 5-string Metro that ticks many of the boxes this does, and my four string of favour is currently a yamaha BB2024. It comes in the hard case it came to me in (as pictured on the baxter web link) and I am prepared to ship at the buyers expense and risk. Local pick-up from Chertsey, Woking or central London is preferred. I am also willing to drive to meet if it's a reasonable distance (for some petrol money). Please feel free to ask questions. The only trade option is a beaten up old Fender USA precision valued at less than £650 + remainder of cash my way. That may be a pipe dream, let's see. Sensible offers considered. Feedback thread here:

Sorry for the delayed reply. Christmas, y'know. I'm around. I'll PM you.

Sorry, the site upgrade has caused loss of pictures. I'll sort when I get home. Thanks for the various trade options, but I'm only after a sale on this one. With that in mind: BUMP!

Bump. More in hope than expectation.

Bump, and a price drop. *sigh* £1200, and that's cutting my own throat.

Every day is bumper-day.
