Go onto Gumtree and type "Bass Guitar", location Ashton-under-Lyne
Clarky replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Will do, am waiting on some oval mother of pearl crown neck stickers from US to make it look more like a "regular" Euro 4 (and the earlier IH edition from c.15 years ago). Plays beautifully and sounds nice and punchy. Also the blemishes are virtually invisible on the gloss black, thankfully. To all intents and purposes, anyone from a foot or two away would think its brand new/mint -

I did buy it. I paid several hundred less than the one on Andy Baxter's site after our haggling. Think Tony I is just a bit rubbish at updating Gumtree advert (it said "weeks old" when he first listed it last year, when he had not long bought it from BassDirect ... given how many adverts he has, I think he just hits refresh when an ad expires!) I had a good experience PS, mine weighs 8 pounds 2.5 ounces, so almost identical weight to Andy Baxter's (1 pound more) -

Oh no. I used to be friends on FaceBook with her (I left FB in the pandemic and never went back) and she was always a beacon of positivity and friendiness 😞 Sending belated condolences to her husband, very sad to read this

Actually I have enough cardboard to effect a safe parcel. Reckon its about £15-20 posted and I would charge the actual agreed amount -
The classic small footprint MB150S combo with GK carry bag. Often used by great DB players eg Charlie Haden and (I am told) many studio recordings on electric bass too. I bought this on the forum 15 months ago for an acoustic project that didn't ultimately happen, so its literally unused since I acquired it. Good condition compared with most MB150S combos (which scratch very easily). I don't currently have a strong enough box so its meet up only in a safe public space in London SW13 (Barnes, south of perma-closed Hammersmith Bridge).

Bought as "upgrade" to my old T Rex 9V power unit as I thought I needed a 12V capability. I don't. So take advantage of me splurging £155 needlessly and get a decent discount on an essentially new unit. £110 posted

Better representation of finish:

Incredibly light, back-friendly Fender Traditional 60s P bass bought at start of 2025 from FenderFever (see ad below with pics and specifications). Great workhorse bass, ideal for longer gigs or if (like me) you have back or neck issues. Has a few dings and dongs here and there on edges etc, nothing egregious, and I added DiMarzio creme DP122 pickups (£95) for a Martyn Casey of The Bad Seeds/1980s vibe. The original Fender Japan pickup will also come with the bass. Comes with new Fender padded gig bag (if you wanted to sell on the DiMarzio pickup and gigbag you could probably get the net cost below £700, just sayin'). Selling as the usual too many basses and my Geddy Lee Jazz isn't moving (looks like I will end up using it just for home noodling). Collection safe public space in SW13 London or £15 economy delivery in UK. I need to take some better pics as my two make it look a bit brown. FenderFever pics show the burst better https://fenderfever.com/products/2879

I have rarely seen a relic'd CS bass look so authentically "vintage". The Avantguard scratchplate is superb and the finishing touch. Beauty! Have a bump on me -
Fyi, I am selling a new/unused set of abalone crown stickers in the FS 'other items' section, in case you fancy making your dot necked Spector look a little more fancy EDIT: NOW SOLD
-
I ordered a set each of abalone and mother of pearl oval crown stickers for my new (to me) Ian Hill Spector. The MOP suit the black gloss finish better so am passing the abalone set straight on. Unavailable in UK, had to source these from a US ebay seller. Avoid the transAtlantic hassle and lob £15 my way to upgrade your dot necked Spector!-

Recently bought a nice comp/DI pedal off John. All was hunky dory, very pleased. Thanks John!

You could try me with a very near offer as I have definitely decided that - however nice this valve preamp is - it doesn't quite suit my needs

Well, after a couple of recent buys that didn't work out (for weight reasons), I messaged Tony about the Spector Ian Hill. He sent videos of its condition and him playing it and we agreed a price that both felt was fair (which took into account my comments on the post I have quoted above). Totally legit guy, very friendly and clearly his prices are flexible. Hope this is helpful
