I'm selling this beautiful Sire V9 - it's proper minty and never been gigged. Can't find a mark on it. Swamp Ash body with quilted maple top, Ebony fingerboard with pearloid block markers. Weighs in at a very ordinary 9.4 lbs.Looking for £450 firm, £400 no offers. Would consider trades involving later Ashdown ABM Heads, Barefaced Super Compact something 2 x 12ish or a Rickenbacker. I'd much prefer collection from Milton Keynes but would be willing to box it up if the buyer arranged their own courier. I can also arrange a meet at a Railway Station between Euston and Crew/Wolves or anywhere really that's served by West Midlands Railay so long as the journey isn't too convoluted. Would also be willing to meet by car within a reasonable distance for some petrol money. From Sire: Body and Neck This V9 has a swamp ash body which results in a lightweight, comfortable bass with a balanced tone. Swamp ash is great for any playing style and won’t take a toll on your back when you’re gigging! This swamp ash body is finished off with a stunning quilted maple veneer for a more modern take on the classic J-bass look. Sire have made a few changes to the neck of the version 2 V9s to make it more playable. The fingerboard now has rolled edges for added comfort, as well as a 9.5-inch radius and medium-sized frets which makes playing individual notes and melodies a little bit easier. The back of the neck now has a satin finish which feels great in the hand and helps you to move smoothly up and down the neck with ease. Heavy Mass Bridge The heavy mass bridge sets this bass apart from a more traditional J-bass. Designed and built at the request of the man himself, Marcus Miller, the heavy mass bridge provides a richer and punchier tone with more sustain that’ll suit any style you’re playing. Re-designed Pickups, Same Impressive Preamp The V9 Version 2 features new and improved Marcus Miller Super-J Revolution pickups. These pickups have been completely re-designed for a clearer, higher resolution sound. These pickups, in combination with Sire's much-praised active preamp, result in an articulate, open-sounding bass. Sire Marcus Miller basses have become famous for their impressive preamps, and for good reason! Featuring a 3-band on-board EQ and a switch allowing you to choose active or classic passive sounds the Sire Marcus Miller preamp gives you complete tonal control. History of Sire Marcus Miller Basses Sire guitars are the company that build the now famous Marcus Miller basses. Marcus Miller himself is a world-renowned jazz and funk bassist with some of the best bass chops on the planet. And he's worked with Sire instruments to make basses that are affordable but far exceed their price point in terms of feel, style and above all, sound. How do they do this? Unlike a lot of other guitar companies that outsource their work, Sire own the factory where their basses are built. This means firstly that they can cut costs but secondly, have full control of the quality of instrument that comes out of the workshop. This allows them to oversee the entire process. And, Sire instruments are doing good in the world by taking a share of the corporations profits and giving back to society. They have founded schools in Cambodia and Laos and teaching music to children.

Come on me lovelies - I'm decluttering for the new year - this has got to go!!

I'm thinking I've just sold this to a mate. Shall amend add once confirmed!

I picked up this Hohner headless bass up about a month ago - a bit of an impulse buy as I've had one in the past. It's fairly tidy but has been converted to passive, with one of the holes (untidily) filled on the front. Also, the catch on the legrest doesn't work very well so it's had some velcro attached - does the job!. The logo has also been removed. It's one of the later models with the rather useful Drop D tuner on the bridge. It's got some light scratching on the body. It's set up really nice, strings are nearly new - action is low and it's well playable. I'm only selling because I already have a Hohner Jack Bass and this does nothing that that one doesn't apart from the drop D tuner. Also comes with a Warwick Rockbag. I paid £180 for this and looking to move it on for what I paid - no offers. Collection from Milton Keynes or you organise a courier and I'll box it up.

TD3 kit including stool, sticks and tuition book. Collection only from Milton Keynes, no offers or trades. £150

First dibs if this falls through please!
