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. Here are the specs; Specifications Body Material: Mahogany Top: Maple Weight Relief: Ultra-Modern Neck Neck: Maple Profile: Rounded Nut width: 1.695" / 43.05mm Fingerboard: Rosewood Scale length: 24.75" / 628.65mm Number of frets: 22 Nut: Graph Tech Inlay: Acrylic Trapezoids Hardware Bridge: Aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic Tailpiece: Aluminum Stop Bar Knobs: Gold Top Hats Tuners: Vintage Deluxe w/ Keystone Buttons Plating: Nickel Electronics Neck pickup: 490R Bridge pickup: 490T Controls: 2 Volumes, 2 Tones & Toggle Switch

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. Here are the features and specs; SPECS: Body Material: Alder Bridge Pickup: American Vintage Single-Coil Jazz Bass® Neck Pickup: American Vintage Single-Coil Jazz Bass® Controls: Volume 1.

Good thinking!!

Up for sale is this Hipshot kickass 4 string bridge bought from the forum and in perfect condition. Comes in the original box with mounting screws, brass saddles (one spare supplied), Allen key, instructions and 2 spare intonation screws too. Bought for one of my basses but I sold it and then stopped gigging and now have no basses at all so it’s not much use although it does look very nice whether on or off a bass!!!!

Up for sale (again as eBay sale fell through before I shipped it) is my superb and almost immaculate 2003 Crafted in Japan Fender Jaguar guitar in Olympic white with matching headstock. It’s a fantastic looking, playing and sounding guitar and has had some recent refurbishment to return it to its former glory. It has a very Johnny Marr Jaguar look about it with the twin single coils and white pick guard. It has the traditional threaded bridge saddles with an added buzz stop fitted to existing holes in the tail piece to provide a greater break angle between the bridge and tail which gets rid of the normal bridge buzz without losing the Jaguar jangle. The tremolo fits snugly so doesn’t flap about either! It’s got the original pickups and pots and is a high quality guitar - as all Japanese Fenders are. The wiring is standard on it so it has rhythm / lead switch and volume / tone wheels for the rhythm circuit on the upper control plate. The lead switch enables the lower switches to be deployed which are front pickup on / off, bridge pickup on / off and mid cut. That just leaves the master volume and tone which are again for the lead circuit. All in all lots of tonal options and of course options to rewire it given the different way in which US Jaguars and the Johnny Marr signature are wired. The guitar has just been professionally refurbished with a strip back to the wood, grain fill, nitrocellulose prime and nitrocellulose Olympic white refinish including headstock face being painted to match. The decal was custom-made by guitardecals.co.uk and no decal lines are visible in the lacquer. The body really is immaculate, paint is glass smooth and it’s an outstanding guitar now. It’s also had a fret level, crown and polish, fretboard lemon oil treatment, relief set, action and intonation set so it now plays and sounds fantastic. The buzz stop keeps it in tune too as it stops the floating bridge from rocking. Being nearly 20 years old it has got some minor dings on the back of the neck and a scar on the top of the headstock.. There are also some minor rust spots on the tail piece, bridge and tremolo arm but very minor surface spots. The body is immaculate. It comes with a good solid vintage hard case which is in pretty good nick. Finally it can be delivered by insured courier or I can meet up within 50 miles of Chester. I could deliver it within 50 miles or it can be viewed / tried in Kelsall. I would prefer a straight sale but would consider a trade for any Fender with 4 strings or maybe even any 4 stringer really - depends what’s out there..... Thanks for looking.

Whoever gets this will have a lovely bass. If you do choose to strip it, use a heat gun on the lower setting and the fotoflame will peel away from the wood. It literally is like a photo so peels away under heat rather than melting. Don’t go at it with high heat otherwise the wood under will get charred. Then sand flat if needed then use grain filler, sanding sealer before primer and finishing coats. Also remember to flat the sanding sealer and primer prior to top coat. The one I did didn’t have good enough wood to just stain / lacquer. I guess the wood aesthetics aren’t overly important when adding a photo of a flamed top to it!

Sold or rather not sold but no longer available anyway.....

Up for sale including postage is a pickup from a USA Highway precision bass. Reads 11.17 kOhms. It’s got slightly corroded pole pieces but not too bad. I managed to insert the pictures in the middle of the text so sorry about that....... not too bad.

I bought a bass off eBay and when it arrived it seemed to have a dead pickup. I checked the wiring and all seemed ok but imagine my surprise when whilst having a cursory glance the dead pickup it appeared to have been stripped of its copper! And the bass was supposed to be fully functional.... Anyway I can’t think of any use for it so am having a clear out. As it needs a rewind - or rather a wind - then it’s free to a good home. I think it’s 93mm wide but can’t remember whether it was bridge or neck.....

Now £550. This is a USA PRS, not an SE so its getting towards the price that Korean PRS’s go for...... Trades welcome as I just sold my last bass and need something with 4 strings. Anything Fendery would be great. Anything with 4 strings would be great in fact. Up for sale is my fantastic playing and sounding USA made PRS Mira S2 in the best colour combo of antique white with black pick guard. Its a superb guitar but too good for a sausage fingered bass player like me. It’s armed with twin humbucking pickups with 3 way switching, coil tap push / pull for a myriad tonal options and comes with locking tuners for tuning stability (why don’t all guitars have them?) It has recently had a set up and restring with 10s and comes with a deluxe PRS padded gig bag. It has all case tags with it too and just has 2 dings which have been level filled with antique white paint. I’ll post it safely (double boxed) anywhere. It can be viewed / tried / collected from near Chester. I can also deliver or meet up within 70 miles of Chester. Trades wise, any 4 string USA Fender bass or maybe a 70s reissue Japanese Fender Jazz (that would be very nice) or I’ll consider anything bassy. Thanks for looking. Heres some extra blurb; With a voice that's familiar and captivating, the vintage-inspired S2 Mira is a guitar you won't want to put down. An all-mahog body and asymmetrical, beveled top give the S2 Mira much of its explosive tone. The output is not super high, but it can be overdriven into well-rounded, organic rock tones without sacrificing punch or clarity. The bridge pickup is rich with some sparkle and substantial but tight low end, while the neck pickup is a little darker, providing great balance and vintage tones.
