Up for sale is my wonderful Atelier Z Beta 4 taken in a trade on here but as I’m not gigging I don’t consider myself worthy of keeping it. I’ll stick with something cheaper for now. It is in fantastic condition with one nick on the headstock. It comes with a heavily padded Atelier gig bag which unfortunately has a bust zip. Atelier basses are boutique basses, made in small numbers in Japan and they reputedly challenge Sadowsky basses. It’s a wonderful bass and it urges you to keep playing it - it’s just one of those basses. The 24 fret maple neck is satin finished and is so smooth. It features block inlays with Luminlay side dots, stainless steel frets and Gotoh tuners. The Ash body is scaled down with an extended cutaway allowing access to no man’s land. It’s really light at around 3.6kg. The controls are Volume, Volume, Tone with a series/parallel switch to fatten up the sound when required. It has the latest Atelier Z pickups with staggered pole pieces and has a custom Atelier buffer preamp on board to prevent unwanted noise. It’s also been upgraded with a 3 way adjustable Hipshot kickass bridge - a brilliant bridge which I prefer over badass bridges these days. No trades on this unless there’s a cheap P bass out there somewhere. Based in Chester but can meet up or deliver within 50 miles. I’ll also ship it anywhere insured with UPS. Thanks for looking.

Dropped to £595.

Bargain alert!

You’re right - it’s a beauty but I just don’t get on with soap bar / humbucker pickups.

SOLD WAY TOO CHEAP BUT THATS LIFE. Dropped to £495 for a hand crafted bass. Less than a Mex Fender. I can’t believe it hasn’t been taken. It has a lightweight natural alder body with a cedar cap, 24 fret maple neck with cedar inlays, twin custom wound soap bar pickups, a 2 band Bartolini preamp configured push / pull volume with active bypass, blend, bass and treble. It has black hardware and features recessed control knobs. It weighs a very lightweight 3.6kg, the neck is 38mm width at the nut, 54mm width at fret 12 and 63mm at 24. It’s quite shallow at 22mm at the 1st and 25mm at the 12th fret. It has a silky smooth, very playable maple neck and looks really unusual with its cedar inlays. It also benefits from a recent full set up including fret level, crown and polish, relief, action and intonation set up and new rotosound strings on. It play and sounds superb and also looks the part as it’s a pretty unique bass. I’ll ship it anywhere insured with UPS. Uk should be around £28. Europe should be around £40. Can also deliver or meet up within 50 miles of Chester. . Trades possible......

Trades added. Will trade either way - cash my way or your way......all depends what’s out there.

Back up for sale as trade fell through is my immaculate Chowny fretless. Dropped to £595 including delivery. Will trade or part trade up or down for anything with frets - preferably P or J. Also would consider trading for an all valve head. Up for sale or trade is this immaculate unmarked custom ordered Chowny SWB Pro short scale unlined fretless. Finished in a spectacular purple burst over a quilt maple top, it has EMG pickups with 2 band EMG preamp, a rather nice ebony fretboard, Wilkinson tuners and a fitted gator foam case. It’s unmarked and immaculate, obviously plays great (and it has no fret buzz coz it’s got none)! I took it in a trade on here but it’s just not up my street really. I always like the thought of a fretless but then realise they’re just not my thing. It’s a doddle to play though as it’s short scale and the position markers on the neck edge are on the fret rather than in between so again that makes it easy to hit accurate notes. This model retails at £850 but in this colour is currently on a 8-10 week backlog. Vital stats are; 38.5mm at the nut and 4.2kg on the scales. Will ship insured with UPS anywhere. Can deliver or meet up within 60 miles of Chester. Thanks for looking. Heres some blurb.

I was just about to bin these and just wondered if anybody wanted them - for free..... I’ll even cover the postage......

Price Drop to £550. Trades possible. Try me!! Up for sale is my heavily upgraded Made in Mexico 2003 Fender Mike Dirnt Precision Bass. It’s got a wonderful Wizard Thumper hand would British made pickup, a high mass black kickass bridge, upgraded Gotoh tuners, a black control plate, black knobs, new graphtech nut, black pickguard screws and a black pick guard. The upgraded parts cost £250+. It’s also got a vintage style case albeit with one catch missing but still a really good case. Condition wise, it has had one or two paint chips on the edge which have been filled with nitro black paint so unless you’re looking hard they’re not visible. The body is generally pretty good. The neck has no marks on it and the bass is set up nicely and plays very well. It weighs 4.3kg and the nut width is 40.5mm. I’ve got some schaller strap locks / buttons so will put those on. It’s had a full set up with fret level, crown, polish, lemon oil fretboard treatment, neck relief, intonation and action set up and sports new rotosound round wound strings. It plays well with its upgrades and sounds immense. Based near Chester but can deliver or meet up within 50 miles or will deliver anywhere insured via UPS. Thanks for looking
