Price dropped. £5 incl UK postage. Hope someone fancies it for their p/j project.

It seems we have a battle of the Orange basses going on here. Have a free bump from me for a fantastic little bass.

10 hole jazz scratch plate with rout for precision pickup in the neck position. The P bass pickup slot is lower than in some P/J basses (is actually the right precision bass position according to my USA P) but may be good for a project for someone. I’ve just noticed it has a scratch beneath the neck rout so dropped the price. £5 incl UK postage.

For sale DP122 precision pickup and DP123 jazz pickup with adjustable pole pieces. Bring your P/J bass to life! Great condition. Around 5 years old. Been in a bass that’s seen light use but in perfect working order. £65 including UK postage.

Fantastic jazz bass preamp, 6 years old looking at the serial number but never seen much action and in perfect working order. Features solderless hook up, volume / blend stack pot, bass / treble stack pot, mid frequency sweep / boost stack pot, bright function (push / pull treble pot), passive blend switch and passive bypass switch. Also has trim pots under the hood to perfectly blend your pickups. Heres what the East website says; The J-RETRO 01 is designed to fit directly into standard "Jazz" style basses without modification, including a PP3 battery, in most cases. Its high quality circuit uses three stacked knobs and includes an active blend circuit plus a 3 band equaliser with bass, variable frequency mid, treble and bright function. A very gentle built in contour gives immediate colour without detracting from the basic sound of any bass. The active blend circuit prevents the loss associated with many passive basses where, when both pickups are up full, the signal from one pickup feeds into the other and vice versa. However, a switch is included to allow a passive equal mix of both pickups. A second switch - basic "get-you-out-of-trouble" passive mode is included in case the battery dies in crucial circumstances, and this mode allows some useful settings too. EASY TO FIT, NO ROUTING OR MODS TO MOST J STYLE BASSES. A STANDARD PP3 BATTERY FITS UNDER THE PLATE IN THE STANDARD CAVITY

£200 including UK postage. Up for grabs is my little Orange O bass in bright Orange, with Orange padded carry case. Single precision pickup, white pick guard, very lightweight okoume body, maple painted neck with ebony fretboard and it’s well balanced. Comes with strap locks / buttons. Recent set up with new Ernie Ball slinkys and in good condition with a couple of dings. One filled with orange nitro (not a perfect colour) on the upper bout and a few very minor chips to the black neck binding. Nothing affecting feel or playability. 34” scale, 43.6mm nut width, weighing in at only 7lbs but very well balanced thanks to well placed strap buttons. The neck is P bass width but doesn’t feel so deep. It’s quite a nice bass for the money, very quirky, plays well and sounds good especially with a bit of drive. I’ll be sad to see it go but I’ve just bought back one of my old basses so it has to go. Will courier included in the price (depends on the price agreed I guess) or it can be road tested / collected chez nous near Chester. Here’s what the Orange boys say; The O Bass is the brainchild of Orange Technical Director and lead designer Adrian Emsley, whose inspiration came from his self-confessed love of vintage gear. Having spent a lifetime modifying all manner of bass guitars, the O Bass brings together all of his know-how in a unique and truly charismatic instrument. Aside from its impeccably sleek lines and shapely aesthetics, the O Bass delivers the goods where it really matters. Plugging in reveals a sound with buckets of personality – familiar, yet somehow all of its own. A custom-wound split–coil pickup bears a very distinctive sonic mojo, with a well-balanced bass response and a bold and defined mid-range. Players with a softer touch will immediately find themselves in Motown territory, with earthy overtones in abundance. Dig in a little more aggressively and the O Bass responds with an infectious harmonic grind that harks back to the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. As Emsley puts it, “It growls like a policeman’s dog!” The O Bass first made an appearance in an early form as a demonstrator piece at the 2014 winter NAMM show, hidden from public view in the Orange booth. However, having been leaked on a number of videos on the internet, we were inundated with requests to put it into production.

Squier affinity series precision bass neck complete with tuners. Made in Indonesia. Looks nice, frets are getting a polish tomorrow and fretboard receiving some lemon oil. Should come up a treat. £35 including postage.

Up for grabs is my superb 1998 Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass, crafted in Japan and in condition belying its 20 years. Purportedly from an era when these basses were a touch better than later Geddy Lee reissues (USA model excepted), this plays brilliantly and sounds superb. Equipped with badass bridge, bound one piece maple neck with black block inlays and a width at the nut of about 38mm, USA vintage pickups, cloth wired with cts pots, vintage open gear tuners and is of course finished in classic black (I don’t think they should anything other than black). It has one minor ding which I’ve tried to capture in pic 8 but it’s been filled with black fender nitro touch up so can barely be seen. It’s had a recent set up with new Ernie Ball slinkys. It weighs in at about 9lbs, has schaller strap buttons on (originals with it too) and comes with a gator case. Will post anywhere. Price includes insured UK shipping. Will ship abroad but will be a bit more. Based in Cheshire so can deliver or meet up within a 50 mile radius of Chester.
