Updated price: £375 collected £400 delivered UK mainland

Edit: price now £375 collected, or £400 shipped to mainland UK! Fender Mustang shortscale Bass with Pau Ferro Fretboard in Torino Red - made in Mexico. Bought this after I had a stroke & was struggling to play again, but am now ready to switch back to long scale. Lovely bass, just no longer needed! Great condition, gigged once & only left the house a handful of times - mainly been sat in my office & just played occasionally. Collection is preferred so you can try it out & confirm you're happy, but I may be able to post at buyers cost - would need a few days to sort packaging materials out though. Any questions please ask! No trades, sorry!

Quite possibly - if it made it's way to Walbassist & Clarky at some point, then yeah!

Bump!

Now £400 delivered!

The very one! Thank you for the kind words

Up we go!

Sale only - no trades please. Ok, you don't see these very often... ! For sale is my early 90s Fender A/E Fretless semi-hollow P-bass with Jazz profile neck. An amazing bass, but sadly I don't play it enough to justify keeping it. I picked this up from here back in 2013, sold it back to the original owner then bought it back again not long after! This thing is very lightweight due to the F-hole, sounds fantastic (different from a standard P) & very loud to boot. It has a Piezo pickup under the bridge and has the Cafe Walter preamp mod installed: [url="http://cafewalter.com/pzp-1/."]http://cafewalter.com/pzp-1/.[/url] The controls are Volume, Tone & Blend. Because I was useless at fretless (plus the sound didn't fit with my blues/rock bands), I decided to put a fretted Jazz neck on it to try to play it more but alas never did (thanks to a JV Squier I have). I bought a set of Schaller tuners for the new neck too, so it can be easily swapped between the two (though there's only one string tree between them). The neck is a Mighty Mite jazz neck, and was purchased from here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/264406-mighty-mite-jazz-bass-neck-maple-brand-new-sold/page__p__2803610__hl__neck__fromsearch__1#entry2803610"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2803610[/url] I prefer the sound of it as a fretless myself - it's probably the closest you'll get to an upright style sound in an electric bass (to my ears, at least!). [b]Now there is are a few things to be aware of:[/b] 1) When you have the blend set more towards the piezo than the the standard pickup, the G string drops in volume in comparison to the others. This apparently has been a common issue with this bass (I asked Cafe Walter for advice, he had the same: [url="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=895234757217488&id=243511229056514"]https://www.facebook...243511229056514[/url]). This never bothered me (I was usually 50/50 or more towards the standard pickup), but the difference is noticeable. If you loosen off the E string however, the G comes back to full volume. I recently took this to my luthier, we made sure the bridge was flat at the bottom but still no joy. In the end, we had 3 suggestions: * Try thicker strings - it's currently strung with 100 - 40 flatwounds, so the G may not be generating enough pressure. * Split the bridge between the D & the G, so that the G isn't affected by the others. This was suggested to the previous owner. * Make cuts from the bottom of the bridge to allow it to flex a little more, hopefully causing more pressure where needed. I decided to leave it as is, so the next person can choose what to do if wanted. 2) The fretless neck has been sanded down on the back to just the wood. Again, this was how I purchased it - it makes it VERY easy to play, feels very smooth & allows you to glide down the neck with ease. 3) The pickup doesn't appear to be original. It should be fitted with Lace Sensor pickup, but appears to have a DiMarzio. I can't confirm that for definite, but it appears to be so due to the hollow poles. Again, as I purchased it - [b]the original is not included[/b]. 4) The nut on the fretless neck has been replaced as the original split between the D & G strings. The nut isn't glued in (off the top of my head it was a snug fit), hence the tape in the picture. 5) The fretted neck is [b]unfinished[/b]. There is no coat on it. My luthier didn't have time to do it when we fitted the neck, plus I wanted to try and get a decal sorted. As it's sat there unused, I never asked for it to be finished. If you want me to get that sorted, I can get a quote. Also, I don't think you can use the micro-neck adjustment on the bass (the hole in the neckplate) with the fretted neck, though I've never tried. 6) It's a 25+year old bass - there's a couple of dings, the main two I've tried to photo (one bottom front, one on the back) 7) I've replaced the knobs with silver ones, but I still have the original black UFO ones - remind me! Enough talking, some pics: It comes with an SKB 'soft' case - it's VERY sturdy, but not as bulky / heavy as a hard case: [url="https://www.gak.co.uk/en/skb-1skb-scfb4-universal-shaped-electric-bass-soft-case/106398?gclid=CIzwuanBrtECFQy3GwodPEoEaA"]https://www.gak.co.u...CFQy3GwodPEoEaA[/url] I'm based in Basingstoke - trials are welcome, and I may be able to meetup/deliver within a reasonable distance if required. I'm happy to post at the buyers expense. Any questions let me know!

Bump!

Update: Price drop to £400 delivered. For sale only (no trades): [color=#1D2129]Barefaced TWO10, in great condition. Silver cloth, 12ohm version so perfect for multi cab setups. £430 including postage.[/color] [color=#1D2129]It has recently been re-telexed a few months ago by Barefaced, so it's almost as new - there's a small mark on the back at the bottom, but that's about it.[/color] [color=#1D2129]I've had this since just after they were released, and it's served me well - mostly used with my Super Compact for some incredibly loud, clear sound! However, I'm after getting a second compact instead (or big twin), hence this is up for sale.[/color] [color=#1D2129]Any questions let me know![/color] [color=#1D2129]I'm based in Basingstoke, so collection / trial welcome. May be able to deliver to the local-ish area, and have all the original packaging so postage is an option (and included in the price).[/color] I believe a new one of these would cost you £589 - £519 cab, £40 silver cloth & £30 postage. I also think you can get a kit from them to convert it to 4ohm if required. [attachment=235113:barefaced-front.jpg] [attachment=235114:barefaced-top.jpg] [attachment=235112:barefaced-back.jpg]
