For sale, immaculate fender threaded saddle bridge. 5 hole, 4 string. Immaculate. I knew I had another and this one is defo from a Japanese Jaguar bass but is used on Mex deluxe and some US models. Price dropped to £25 posted.

Up for sale is an unused DSL black leather luxury 2.5” padded adjustable strap with red stitching. The strap has had strap locks on so the holes are a touch bigger than for standard buttons. Excellent immaculate unused strap..... £15 posted.

Better pics added....

I had to do the same Marc. I bought 3 saddles which cost me £24 plus postage and then they weren’t a perfect match..... It’s odd as I think I’ve got 2 of these bridges but can’t find the other one......

£25 posted anyone?

A tenner anyone?

Nearly gone but still here.....

Ok - how about £10 posted? Set of 105-45 Rotosound used flats. Look newish today me. I think £15 posted is reasonable but could be wrong. Cheers

Warman P bass pickup taken from a Fender bass. Good condition, fully working, long fly leads and 8.42kOhm output. Nice warm P bass pickup. With springs and screws. £10 posted.

£20 posted..... Up for sale, a slightly rare Fender threaded saddle vintage bridge from either a Jap Jag or Mex deluxe Fender - I cant remember which as I’ve got a bag of bits which I’m selling the best of......Great condition and I know from previous experience that these can be tricky to find but of course that’s only when you need one......

Up for sale, Gotoh high mass bridge in chrome. 5 hole, 4 string. Excellent condition. Looks nearly new to me. Think these are £40 plus post new so £25 posted anyone? Quote from online; Gotohs take on the chunkier vintage bass bridge, complete with plated brass saddles - offering up fantastic tone, simply adjustment and flawless finishing - exactly what you'd expect from the Japanese guitars parts power house! Thanks

Set of 4 Wilkinson black open gear tuners. Look like new to me. Importantly they don’t include the bushings. Will update with hole centres / dimensions. Taken off a Fender P so will defo suit Fender jazz or precision. £10 plus postage. Bargain price coz I haven’t got the bushings.

Up for sale or trade for a Fender P or J USA bass is my 2011 Limited Edition Gibson Nighthawk guitar in Chicago blue with gold hardware. It comes with the Gibson case and is good in really shape. It’s a great playing guitar and even better sounding given the myriad tonal options from the 3 pickups and 5 way selector / push / pull pot. The Nighthawk Standard was a limited edition with a quilted maple cap over a chambered poplar body. Allegedly only one hundred of each color were made so apparently this is one of 100 Chicago blue Nighthawks made. The Nighthawk came with gold hardware, a granadillo fretboard, a fixed bridge, and three pickups (a splittable BurstBucker 1, a Gold Blade single coil and a splittable BurstBucker 2). The five-way selector switch plus the coil-splitting option by the push / pull volume pot provide a total of nine pickup combinations. It master volume / tone controls too. It has some surface dents on the front and a few chips here and there but nothing major. The good hardware does show the typical signs of wear. Am in Chester but can ship it anywhere or can deliver or meet up within 60 miles of Chester. Thanks for looking.

I’ve been mulling this over for ages now but as I’ve now retired from gigging I’m going to free up some space, win some brownie points and free up some cash for a desktop amp of some variety. So up for sale (or possible trade for something with 4 strings) is my Trace Elliot Twin Valve combo with a rather under estimated ”Trace Elliot” 115 watts RMS with a GP7 graphic Eq and 1 x 15 speaker combo. It dates from the late 80s / early 90s and is in really good condition. It also benefits from a recent re-valve and service by Tech to the stars Dave Lunt who replaced the old valves with a really expensive matched pair (GEC equivalents if I remember but I’ll have to check the make. The valves alone were in his stock - and he has some stock - and he let me have them for £175 which was way way under valued). I have the receipt from Dave’s service. I’ll also include the old valves (wherever they are) although one of them is a little rattly which is why they were replaced. I’ve had the combo for about 2 years and had the intention of returning to gigging but I’ve accepted that it’s not going to happen. If I was going to gig, I’d use this as the sound is stunning. The watts of 115 are Trace Elliot watts and are valve watts so it comfortably rattles the windows. It also runs at 8 ohms standard but can run at 4 ohms so you could add a 2 x 10 for a truly trouser flapping rig. I’d love to keep it but it’s wasted in my office. Needless to say it’s not been gigged by me and judging on overall condition I’d say it hasn’t been gigged a lot. It’s got the original speaker which still sounds perfect. I had previously been an Eden stalwart but always felt that there was some depth and resonance missing despite their amps being so lively and wonderfully hi-fi. When I got this Trace I realised that this has the resonance and depth that I was missing. Maybe it’s that valve sound or maybe it’s classic Trace engineering but either way it really is a fantastic sound. Anyway, I’m in Chester and will drive up to 75 miles to deliver, swap or trade. Trade wise I’d consider any Fender 4 string. I could even add a little cash for a USA Fender. I’d prefer not to courier as it’s valvey but may courier it within the UK. It will be very pricey though as it would be insured. Dimensions are a compact 33cm x 48cm x 65cm. The weight belies the compact cab at 30+ kg. Here’s a summary of the features. Features: Front: Active / passive inputs. Input gain dial & overload indicator, pre-shape EQ button, an in/out button for the graphic EQ and the 7 band Eq faders. Jack sockets on the right are FX loop send / return, Line in / out and a head-phone socket. Lastly are master volume and standby switch on the far right of the panel (speaker on/ off switch). Rear: Rocker switch for 4 or 8 ohm load with two outputs - XLR and 1/4” jack. On / off switch. Thanks for looking.

I’ve just restrung it with 9’s and it plays like a dream. Such low action and so playable. I’m staggered that it’s not gone and if nobody buys it or offers up a trade (which would be preferable as I have no basses) then I think I’ll withdraw it and keep it...... I guess the market is slow.

Price drop again

Price dropped to £595. Definitely open to trades too as I could do with a bass.....

Price drop. Taken in a trade but not my thing is this 2018 Gibson USA Les Paul Tribute in honeyburst finish with Gibson deluxe gig bag. Trades considered for any 4 string bass. Or - this is a wild stab especially on a bassists forum - a semi acoustic ES335 type guitar. It’s in really good condition and has had a full set up with fret level, crown and polish, relief, action and intonation set and set up with a new set of D’Addario 9’s. It plays beautifully and sounds just like a Les Paul should. These retail at £999 and are a satin finished, stripped back version of this classic guitar. It has some minor dings on the bottom edge but is in otherwise excellent condition. Can deliver or meet up within 50 miles of Chester. Thanks for looking.

SOLD. You’ve got to be quick with a Geddy..... Up for sale is my 2006/08 Crafted in Japan Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass in black with black pickguard. It plays really well, sports a new set of Ernie Ball rounds and has had a recent full set up with fret level, re-crown and polish, relief, action and intonation set so it plays brilliantly. As everyone should know these have the skinniest and playable jazz neck and with the gloss on the back of the neck having been knocked back slightly it is so smooth to play. It also has a badass II bridge, a decent hard case and strap locks. It’s in really good condition with just one ding near the upper strap pin. There’s a tiny bit of buckle rash on the back but very minor. Based in Cheshire so can deliver or meet up within 50 mile radius or will post. Thanks for looking.
