Hi everyone, With a heavy heart I am listing my NG-3 which is, in my opinion, finished in the greatest colour - matte gold. Whilst clearly OUTSTANDING for anything metal / rock, it’s been used in my cover band for the last 2 years to cover pop, funk, disco, rock etc, due to the flexibility of the 3 pickups. Fanned frets are, I found, quick and easy to adapt to, but it’s not my preference, hence the sale. I had an additional scratch plate commissioned in white pearl, so both that and the original are included. It is strung with Dingwall strings tuned EADG, but has in the past dropped to CGCF (I will miss that very much!). Very well balanced, this is narrowly over 3.9kg on my kitchen scales, floating at about 3.923kg. There are a couple of minor cosmetic imperfections shown in the pictures - there’s aren’t visible when playing the bass. All electronics etc. work perfectly, and no headstock dings either. Original Dingwall soft case is included which is in excellent condition, and it’s a blooming brilliant case to boot! To that end, I am open to posting the bass but at the buyers arrangement and cost. I will wrap the bass within the case, and wrap the case in bubble wrap and brown paper, but open to better alternatives! I don’t have a box or hard case unfortunately. Collection very much preferred, and of course welcome to try the bass before purchase. TRADES! Yes, open to some trades but strictly the below, with cash adjustments as appropriate. Stingray - any model from the Sterling Ray34 up to Musicman Stingray special. Colour must be black, gold, or potentially a sparkle finish. Strong preference for 4 string but 5 considered. Precision - any model from Fender MIM up to something of a £1k value. Same colours as above. Must be a 4 string. Open to PJ’s but a classic passive P is the preference. I am seeking both of the above basses so a combination of the two is an option, again with cash adjustments accordingly. Also open to a Korg Microkorg / Novation Bass Station. Questions, concerns, thoughts, more pictures etc, please give me a shout. Many thanks, Rick

Any idea on whether this could power a HX stomp and a shure glxd+ at once? thanks

On hold pending the finer details!

***Please ignore the £150 price, it should be £100 per the title!*** Hi all, Condition is very good, a 9/10. Price includes UK mainland postage, but collection is very welcome. I am selling as I’ve upgraded to the Shure GLXD+. The only trade I’m looking at it for a Pedaltrain Nano (not Nano +). Any questions please ask away. Best wishes, Rick

I’m a couple of months away from funds for these, if they are still here come end of August (unlikely), I’ll be coming!

That is very lovely! Good luck with the sale!

This looks beautiful - may I ask how it balances? My only experience with an epiphone (SG) had neck dive, so I’m hopeful with the Hipshots that’s not the case?

Sorry to hear about you likely giving up gigging Simon! Sending you best wishes from down the road! Rick

Hi there, just enquiring if you would be interested in trades at all, couldn't see it in your ad? Thanks, Rick

Hi - can you run a preamp directly into this, or does it have to come via a GK combo? Thanks, Rick

Bargain for a monster of a rig!

Joe is relatively new here but I can vouch both for him as a total gent, but also how great this rig sounds. Deal in confidence, friends!

So I'm looking to get a 4 string p bass, and was about to pull the trigger on a Harley Benton one from Thomann, to see if they're my thing (going flats and foam for a soul project...), when it occurred to me that somebody with such a P bass may be looking to do the same thing with a jazz! If that's the case, hit me up, would rather not sell without replacement as this is my backup bass. Happy to add a bit of cash to a higher priced P though. Photos to follow tonight, but looks just like these with a little wear: https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_jb_75mn_black_vintage_series.htm?o=5&search=1632835899 Thanks, Rick

Excellent upgrades! Presume given the GAS / marital balance reasons for sale mean you're not looking at trades?

How far south? Too far for a meet halfway?

Congrats on the sale and thanks for letting me know! Paul if it turns out not to be for you, let me know if you want to move it on 😊

Hi Dan, if by some chance this hasn't sold by next Friday I'll take it off your hands, though it looks like Paul may have done so already! Thanks, Rick
