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......

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. Developed by Scott Whitley a professional gigging bassist (Big Country and formerly The Animals) the SWB Bass Range is designed to be a professional gigging bassists short scale bass. Traditionally ‘short scale bass’ has largely been associated with student basses and limited, muddy tones – not any more! The SWB Pro professional, modern-sounding short scale bass affordable to everyone. The SWB range are incredibly flexible basses to suit any style of playing – from growly traditional through to scooped, hi-fi slap tones and everything in between. Now the SWB Pro takes this to the next level with boutique finishes and a number of significant upgrades. With a matched EMG Jazz Pickup pair and EMG Pre-Amp as standard, this bass features a 5 piece satin walnut and maple neck, wilkinson tuners and ebony fretboard.

Battery powered partially illuminated metal butterflies on a burned bass. Just what I put on my Christmas list. -
I just thought I’d add that the reason for the connector blocks and grey wires is because on my first attempt I got no output so I thought I’d isolate the pickup grounds and try earthing them to a few different places - copper shield, base of pots etc. However it had no effect and I still ended up with nothing! Hence the cry for help.....

I picked up a really nice custom luthier made bass on here a couple of months ago with twin soap bar humbuckers but with passive controls. In my wisdom I decided to make it active to open up the possibilities of those humbuckers, so I bought a Bartonlini 2 band preamp (which has loads of support tech help and diagrams on line) yet I still can’t get it right despite many attempts so I’m making a cry for help from anyone in the Chester ish area who is adept in the ways of wiring in a preamp....... I think my issue is not getting how to earth things properly but o think it’s time to hand it over to an expert in these matters.....

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

Owl ong before the real pics are up? -
Up for sale is my Pearl White 1987 Fender Duff McKagan Jazz Special Bass. It is fantastic condition for a 32 year old vintage with only a few very minor dings to note. There is one minor 2mm dent near the neck pickup and a small ding on the rear body contour. There’s one scuff on the top of the headstock. It’s clearly not seen much action. It plays and sounds superb and has a good old snarl to it courtesy of those large pole piece precision and jazz pickups. All is standard and it doesn’t need any upgrades as it’s perfect as is. It’s got new rotosound rounds fitted but didn’t need a set up so hasn’t had one! The frets are in really good shape. Comes with hard case which I’ll take pics of and upload later.

Drop to £795 before putting on eBay. May take a trade for a Jap or USA jazz or P or maybe even a Shuker....... Up for sale is my utterly immaculate 2007 Crafted in Japan Jaguar deluxe bass. This is almost collector’s condition and has seen nearly no action. It has immaculate hot rod red paint, matching headstock and currently sports a black pickguard. It’s also got a brilliant kickass bridge 3 way adjustable heavy duty bridge which adds a whole load of sustain. It has upgraded chrome knobs and locking strap buttons / locks. It also comes with the original mint white pickguard.. It’s got a Fender hard case too which I’ll add pictures of soon. It has recently had a pro set up just to make sure it’s ok so had a fret level (more of a tickle than a major going over), crown, polish, fret board lemon oil treatment, relief, action and intonation set with new rotosound strings. I’m not sure I should let it go as it is the most immaculate bass I’ve had except maybe a brand new USA Geddy Jazz I had but needs must as I’ve accidentally acquired 4 basses....... I should add that the original threaded saddle bridge has now been sold so isn’t included now. Based near Chester so can deliver, meet up or just ship it.
