Price drop ! Now £480 / 550€

Good choice, monsieur. Tomorrow maybe ? 😊

Hello, PRICE DROP ! Now £480 / 550€ PLEASE be aware that as the bass is in France, there might be import charges or delay to the UK. No probs with the rest of Europe. For sale is this rather uncommon Yamaha SuperBass800, made in Japan in 1978 and still in very good condition. - Alder body - 1 piece quartersawn maple neck with natural white block inlays, gloss finish - 42mm nut : a Jazz bass with a Precision neck - "Progressive" headstock and back of neck design 😎 - 4 to 4.1kg : under 9lbs Following the Yamaha BB serial chart, the SB800 was made in 1978. It has the same sturdy bridge and general construction as the BroadBass series with 2 jazz pickups : Vol / Vol / Tone The neck pickup has a Precisionesque tone, it is overall quite woody. Absolutely no buzz. It is just back from the luthier for a general check-up and set up : the trussrod works fine but is almost to a maximum, set up with 45-105s. Here is for the neck : back of neck sb800.mp4 In the broad bass body category : Asking for £480 / 550€ Shipping is not a problem. Options to be discussed. I can include a brand new Gator GL lightweight case worth 55€ as I prefer not so ship with neck off. Any questions or further pics needed, please ask. Cheers

Now sold.

So gorgeous it is now on hold

-- Now on hold - Hello, PLEASE be aware that as the bass is in France, there might be import charges or delay to the UK. No probs with the rest of Europe. For sale is this beautiful Fender American Original 50s Precision in 2 tone sunburst from 2018 This is the updated version of the American Vintage 58 Precision bass, with a flatter 9.5 radius, and no pre-drilled holes in the body for the bridge and p-up covers It is a lovely bass, with endless sustain, probalby thanks to the nitro lacquer, wide neck and attention to detail in these series. Articulate low mids, and great warmth from the Pure Vintage 58 split-coil pickup with enamel-coated coil and raised pole pieces under the A string. Rather lightweight (I need new batteries in the scales...), 4-ish kg / under 9lb I would say, tbc later. 44mm / 1.73" at nut (bone) : wide and shallow profile (not sure why they call it "thick C"), reverse tuners Nitro lacquer finish In very good condition, in its orginal tweed case with all the paper bits and case candy. If you like a Precision, you immediately feel at home with this one, it is really responsive and feels natural. A well made short video grabbed from the net : Only selling as I have another maple Fender P incoming, and a few spares. Asking for 1450€ / £1260 These cost 2000€ new. Shipping with insurance would cost around 50 to 60€ to anywhere in Europe, taking from 2 to 5 days fully insured at buyer's cost. I have a feedback thread. Cheers.

Hello, PLEASE be aware that as the bass is in France, there might be import charges or delay to the UK. No probs with the rest of Europe. For sale is this Ibanez ATK300 TK, made in Japan, with a F98 serial number. This makes it a 100% Fujigen factory bass built in 1998. I have owned the exact same as my only bass for 15+ years (before the internet ads made a roller coaster of my bass collection), sold it for a P, regretted it a bit, found a FC (Fujigen & Cort) serial number ATK300 from 98 or 99 I think, did not like it, then found this one in very good condition. There is a clear difference between those and the FC ones. The neck finish is better, the general feel, dynamics and sustain as well. BUT, I have turned into a passive only bass player, and prefer the P position to the Musicman position. I have hesitated turning it into passive and maybe add a P pickup, but that would ruin a classic instrument. Hence the sale. Besides the benefit of being in good condition (a few light dings here and there) and in a rather rare trans brown finish, it weights only 4.1kg / 9 lbs ! For those who know these 90s ATK, this is a miracle. The neck colour has yellowed, best shown in this picture : Asking for £450 / 500€ Shipping at buyer's cost, safely packed. Comes with a 90s Fender molded hardcase in poor condition, but it does the job.

Hello, PLEASE be aware that as the bass is in France, there might be import charges or delay to the UK. No probs with the rest of Europe. For sale is this fantastic Spector Euro LT 4 in Blue Fade Gloss, made in the Czech Rep in 2019. These are the latest of the Euro series. The build quality is flawless. Poor quality pics due to poor light conditions A very well balanced bass with the chambered alder and maple body 42 mm at nut, thin neck profile Ebony fingerboard (the darkest I have ever seen, a beauty.) 3.7kg (8.2lbs) thanks to the chambered body construction Bartolini Custom Wound P/J Pickups Custom Darkglass Tone Capsule: Bass +/-20dB @ 150 Hz Mids +/-12dB @ 500Hz (accessible via control cavity) Treble +/-12dB 3.5kHz, +6dB boost @ 1kHz Detailed specs from the builder : https://www.spectorbass.com/product/euro4-lt/ It is in pristine condition, comes with its original padded gigbag and strap locks. I have had this bass for a short time, bought from a lovely chap who got this finely selected example direct from the distributor, took good care of it and the set up is the lowest I've ever played on a bass. This is a very versatile instrument, and the Bartolinis bring some warmth the EMGs and TonePump - which the previous model had - may lack. Punch, dynamics, sustain, an astounding presence in the mix, lightweight, plays on its own. Only selling as I always wanted to play one, and I end up using it with the volume lowered, the highs cut and the bass flat : it can do the passive-ish tone, but deserves a lot more investigation. I am asking what I paid for, which I thought was a good price : £1490 / 1690€ Shipping fully insured at buyers' cost,safely packed. Possibly open to trades for a Yamaha BB2024x, trade + cash for a maple board Precision (US, Japanese, old and new)

It is versatile as stated, it could be used for any genre and can do the subtle nuances, butt, the bottom line is that it is best suitable for rock. I remember playing Nirvana's territorial pissing with it once, and the band mates got wet.

I have owned one, that a friend now has as his only bass. It is a powerfull piece of gear, lightweight, versatile and appropriate with a loo-per. By the way... Which paper grit did you use for sanding the back of the neck ? 2 or 3 ply ?
