Just something about these that is hard to beat. Surprised still here as these usually get snapped up quickly.

Amazing bass. I have the exact same. Can’t imagine selling it.

I have the same bass. It really is amazing.

I have the same bass in natural and asked Paul the same question as the dots had been moved. Mine is factory. These are special basses with real character.

What is it with JVs and Essex. Recently picked up an amazing JV jazz from around the corner from you. This is lovely and at £600, fantastic value.

I will never sell mine. Have a bump for a great bass. Hard to beat for 500 quid.

Quality basses these. I have two. Hard to think of a better made instrument under £500.

And a good price. The j pu isn’t too shabby either. 😀

Mark designs and commissions great instruments. I bought a Neutrino 6 stringer on a whim a few years ago and although it got smashed up big time in transit I managed to fix it sufficiently for home practice and its a joy to play. GLWYS

Thanks for that.

Yamaha SA 1100 guitar. Made in Japan in the 90s.** £500 incl posting to mainland UK. Now £450 incl posting To mainland UK All works as it should. Some dings and scuffing to top of the headstock and some fretwear in first position. White binding has yellowed a bit. See photos. There is one of these currently for sale on Gumtree for £1k so price set for quick sale. Includes tatty hard case which will protect the guitar in transit. Thanks for looking. David ** A fellow basschatter has alerted me to the possibility that this was made in Taiwan as while it has a label saying made in Japan inside the f hole it doesn’t say it on the back of the headstock. Unfortunately the serial number doesn’t appear to shed any light either as it follows no Yamaha known numbering scheme that I can see, although this is not too unusual, apparently. That said, there are a few SA1100s for sale around the world atm, none have made in Japan on the back of the headstock either and all are considerably more expensive than mine. So grab a bargain!

Radlett, which is junction 1 off M1

8lb so under 4kg according to my scales. I knew someone would pick me up on that. Sorry. Lazy eh. This is on hold for now but it’s beautiful twin fretless is still around😉

Yamaha TRB Series I 5 string fretted for sale. Made in Japan, 34 in scale, 19mm spacing. 45mm at nut. Weight 8 lbs/4 kg. Active adjustable mid and total output internally. A few small dings and light scratching and one larger bash as photographed. Some moderate fretwear. Damaged hardcase included. Collection preferred. Postage would be extra at cost. Thanks for looking. David

I don’t know. It certainly has a lovely swirl. ON HOLD

Thanks! Yamaha quality is undeniable. I have 7. I am only selling this because I can’t do it justice and have too many and I don’t see the point consigning basses to the loft. Factoring in the brand new TI flats which are wonderful, I would have thought this now represents excellent value for a series 1 TRB in good condition?

This is on hold.

Fantastic basses, these. Quality hardware, including a metal nut and pu’s that deliver excellent p, pj and j tones at the flick of a switch. Can’t go wrong at that price.

Tascam Cd bass trainer with psu. Full working order. No box but will pack well. Price includes U.K. postage. Thanks for looking. David

Full working order and in good condition. Includes the Zoom 28 meg Sandisk. No box or DC power plug but also runs on batteries. Will be well packed. Don’t ask me anything about functionality as I wouldn’t have a clue. I have never used this. Price includes U.K. postage. Thanks for looking. David Now £20 ono

Yes and it’s a lined fretboard, I guess I should have made that clear. If you zoom into the photos you can see.

All original. I forgot to add that the neck profile is super flat and different to the fretted version. I have one of those as well. And the action can be as low as you want. This bass must have spent much of its life in its case as there is no tarnish on the hardware.

SOLD BIG PRICE REDUCTION £500 collection Now willing to post this and will include Uk mainland shipping cost in price. I can courier on Monday and you could have it on Tuesday 19 July. I may change my mind and keep this so if anyone is interested please do get in touch over weekend. This is no longer on hold as the intended purchaser didn’t show and hasn’t been in contact. If you read this, I hope you are ok! Price reduced to £600 as I have my eye on something and have negotiated a one in = one out with she who must be obeyed😆 Yamaha TRB 5 string fretless. Series one (with cutaway). Made in Japan. Serial number 4N1 3074 which I think means it is dated 13 May 1989. Can’t guarantee that though. A few minuscule nicks and a slightly larger dint on the lower horn (see picture). Some scratching to the fretboard due to a previous owner using rounds, but for a 29 year old bass, this is in great condition. 34 ins scale, 19mm spacing, 45mm at nut, 80mm at 24th fret. Weight around 8lbs. Ash body, maple neck, rosewood board, 2 band active, adjustable mid boost and total output. Strung with new TI flats. Comes with the original Yamaha hard case also in great condition. You won’t see many of these early models up for sale and the value is increasing and will likely continue to..because they are awesome. I am only selling because this bass deserves to be played by someone much more proficient than me, and because I have amassed more basses than I have room for now and am under strict orders to cull😢. That said, I am in no hurry, so I don’t intend to lower the price and I doubt this will be bumped a lot. No experience of trading, so it would have to be someone reasonably near, and actually, I am only after a decent fretted 5 string, JV jazz, or a good combo in mint condition. So much prefer a sale. Same goes for collection although posting isn’t completely out of the question, but cost is not included in the price. Thanks for looking. David
