  1. Thanks, yes the attention to detail is meticulous. It is definitely for sale. I would prefer to meet up than post, but I will if I can get the cardboard. Trades considered but really looking to sell as I need to raise funds.
  2. Back up for sale, it is gorgeous and I wanted to keep it but it should go to someone who will get more use out of it.
  3. Dave is a really nice dude a pleasure to deal with. I sold my us precision to him and all went smoothly. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend.

  5. I bought a bass from Jiri, he's a pleasure to deal with, he packed the bass very well and send it off quickly. Would not hesitate to buy from him again. Thanks mate!
  6. Listed this bass a while ago, and had quite a lot of interest but I decided against selling. It has been in the case for most of the time since then, so should go to someone who will use and enjoy it. The bass is stunning, sounds and plays great, the pics cant really do it justice. It has loads of mojo, really feels like an original '55. Comes with custom shop tweed case and (reliced) chrome covers. See below for more details. Collection from South London or can meet weekdays in Oxford More here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ct1WStm7mAXzkj8s1 And the previous ad details which describe it much better than I could: This fantastic bass was assembled and re-imagined by the talented Rick Moore (basschat'r Rick's Fine '52) and I've used it on the road as my main bass for a couple of years. I've had it home since the touring show required me to favour a 5 string Precision. I believe Rick based the project on a duplication of his original vintage 50s bass. Here is some interesting and vital info described by the man himself: "Started life as two reissue basses, a Sting reissue, for the 2-tone contour body, and a '51 reissue, for the correct neck, without that ghastly Sting inlay at the 12th fret. The necks were swapped, and the Sting neck on a solid 2-tone body was swiftly sold. The body was then routed to receive the period correct large string ferrules on the rear of the body (These are very hard to source). The bass then received a full relic treatment, including the neck fully stripped, amber nitro tint, fingerboard edges rolled, new correct decal applied on top of the lacquer. The body was aged with weather checking throughout, and some very good, sympathetic ageing (No belt sander jobs here!). The metal parts were also aged. All parts are period correct; reverse kluson tuners, 2-saddle bridge, single ply white aged guard, chrome covers, a replica maple thumbrest was made using my original as a template, and then painted black, and aged. Fender Custom Shop tweed case completes the look. All genuine Fender parts, hours and hours of time and love have gone into this, and a genuine CS tweed case thrown in" Since owning the bass, I had my tech Doc Dave Grant add a brass plate under the bridge and flush with the body surface, effectively creating a discreet high-mass bridge. This has added sustain and definition to notes, as well as balancing out the weight of the neck. Overall, it's a very lightweight bass which I initially found to be a little neck heavy due to the lack of weight in the body. The brass plate seems to have rectified that very comfortably. Weight: 4.5 kg / 10 lb Dave also modified the saddles to make a more accurate intonation possible. I also replaced the 'Sting' pickup with a Nordstrand '51 pickup. Awesome! It increased the depth of the lows and sweetened the midrange, and tamed the top end nicely. The bass has a very woody P-Bass tone. Not quite Motown - but lending itself to that big 1970s tone which is great with a pick. Chrome Dunlop Straplocks were added. We opened for Sting in Poland last summer and even his crew had to look twice as it appeared I had grabbed one of his basses!

    Bought a bass off Colin. Very nice gentleman. Made me a coffee after my drive over, and didnt rush my decision. Has some very nice gear, I would deal with again in confidence. Cheers, Chris.
  8. Thanks for comments and the info @GrammeFriday, updated to just *unusual
  9. I keep coming back to look at this, so gorgeous. Almost glad someone else has finally bought it.
  10. Thanks guys, and yes cheers Pinball, it is a lovely jazz bass, just feels like it has been exquisitely hand crafted. Fast smooth neck, I'm sure whoever buys it will enjoy it.
  11. Price Reduced to £700 I unfortunately need to sell my Sandberg California to fund other gear. It's a very beautiful bass, in the unusual colour of surf green. It plays as good as it looks and has a wide range of usable sounds. Overall the bass is in great condition and everything works as it should. I don't have scales but its not a heavy bass, probably about 9.5 ibs It has been carefully looked after, and it has one small wear mark on the top edge of the body, only adding to the character in my opinion. [attachment=181740:back.jpg] [attachment=181741:full_frontal.jpg] [attachment=183416:close_up.jpg] [attachment=183417:detail.jpg] Not really looking for trades, but interesting precision or fretless will be considered, especially vintage. Price Reduced to £700
