Active Cort Arona 4, which was the short-lived bastard child bass spawned of Cort & Sandberg. These things came with Sandberg hardware and electronics (so I was told once) and has an open pore finish complete with genuine road-wear signs of use on the front above the pickups. I'm also led to believe they went to Germany first for checking before hitting the markets. It's a 34" scale bass with a two-octave neck, but looks like a medium or short scale with the reduced body size and slim neck. Very light too at 8lb (3.6kg) and only selling because I'm now so used to a p-bass the 24 frets confuse me 🙂 Price includes postage.

Thought I'd ask in here before I ask the Gibson Bass groups. WD Custom Pickguards (Gibson) Ripper scratchplate.... still has plastic cover on I think. I bought this from the US for a project that never really got off the ground and now never will. Price includes postage.

Squier Sonic Bronco Bass in Ultra Violet in excellent condition. I swapped the weak pickup out for a Sire D5 single coil and popped in a Varitone tone pot I had laying about, just for something a bit different. This was me looking at short-scale basses as I'd never had one but hardly used so time to move it on. Frets levelled and and all set-up with rounds, plus put some Tru-Oil on the lifeless bare maple neck. Weighs 7.3lb (3.3kg). Happy to post.

Squier Sonic Precision in Lime Green (Ltd colour apparently) and all very shiny! Bought new direct from Fender but part of the bass herd thinning and in excellent condition as it was my lounge bass just used at home for noodling on. Frets levelled, nut-groove height sorted and all fully setup with rounds and good to go. I popped a better quality loom in there and Tru-Oiled the neck as the bare maple was just a bit characterless, plus oiled up the fretboard which is rosewood. Weighs in at 8.4lb (3.8kg). Happy to post.

Dakota Red Squier Precision 40th Anniversary Vintage Edition in excellent as new condition and fitted with a series/parallel pull/push volume knob. I've recently moved house and realised I have too many Precisions so I need to thin the herd. Bought new on a whim and only left the house when I moved 🙂 The series/parallel is a subtle thing but noticeable, which is probably why they never really caught on with p-basses. All fully set-up with rounds on and good to go. Price includes postage, or collection and I'll knock a bit off. If I can find a basic gig-bag I'll throw it in. Weighs in at 9.5lb (4.2kg).

About to move house so decided to start a clear-out.. and came across this I'd forgotten I had. Obviously, not needed so time to go to a new home possibly. Only used briefly a while back and had the velcro fitted to the front, a little on the underside too where I used to fit the PSU along with a couple of cable-tie fittings I used for the power leads (see pics). Case might be a smidge dusty. Tracked 48 postage included.

Handbox WB-100 (120w of valve power) in great condition, not used that much and never cranked up. Just can't justify it sat about doing nothing most of the the time so hopefully of better use to someone else (hence the price). Happy to post at buyers risk using a Next Day service..... I'm sure it'd be fine using courier, after all it's how it was sent to the UK from Poland in the first place 🙂 It'd be packaged well using my other half's business packaging warehouse and packaging stuff. Also happy to drop off if nearby, halfway swap if a reasonable distance or can be collected.

Keeley Katana Mini Clean Boost in great condition but no box. Hardly used and apparently has a couple of mini-switches inside that can be flipped each way for a few tone/drive options (see pic) and as far as I can remember I just used it as it arrived. No power adapter as it didn't come with one. Price includes postage.

EBS The Ultimate Billy Sheehan Signature Drive in excellent condition and still boxed. Only used a handful of times indoors as it was initially purchased for something that no longer needed a drive pedal. Just been sat about gathering dust so time for someone else to use it. Price includes postage.

2011 G&L Tribute SB-2. The main thing about these that people have an issue with are the Vol-Vol controls and no Tone, although you could twiddle about with them to have an impact on tone..... apparently. I was bored one day so decided to change the controls to concentric stacked controls for each pickup so each one has Vol-Tone (like what you'd get on a Flea Jazz or a 61 Jazz, copy, reissue or original). The MFD pickups are both very high output as you'd expect and given the neck p-pickup is a four-wire, more tinkering can be done with it 🙂 Weighs in at 9.2lb. No hard case but might be able to find a basic gig-bag for it. It's seen better days cosmetically as it was a working bass and the body needed buff up to get it glossy again. Having said that, you can still see the very fine lines and wear on the lacquer surface. Has a few dinks here and there too, but given it was used well, as it should be, and not sat in a room it has the marks you'd expect to see. I also didn't scratch off the 'Tribute' part of the decal, by the way. Despite any cosmetic issues that some people may have it plays great and is all set up with 100-45 rounds and good to go. Frets levelled... not that they needed much work on them, Monty's waxed fretboard and as seems to be the case with Tributes, a bass shim is in the neck pocket to offer more play at the bridge rather than the saddles being almost sat flat down. Can post if need be.

2019 Yamaha BB-734a in dark coffee sunburst in great condition, all fully set up with 105-45 rounds on so good to go and oiled fretboard. Comes in a Thomann non-original but surprisingly very good hard case. A fantastic playing and capable bass, but I played it more as passive.... I have a 2024X to do that though. Happy to post at buyers cost with a courier of their choosing if need be.

Sire Marcus Miller Z7 in Burgundy and in excellent 'as new' condition. I bought this as my need to fill my StingRay type requirements with an added extra of what an extra pickup might contribute of needed, but seeing as I managed to get hold of a MM that does the b, this is sadly now surplus to requirements. The single coil does a decent P-Bass impression too when used on its own. I've also attached a pic of what the controls do. Home use only, never left the house (other than for the photos) and all set up with rounds on it and good to go. No case came with it but I may be able to find a gig-bag. Priced to sell as I think they're about £480-ish when 'proper new'. All info is online, but before I'm asked... it weighs in at 9.3lb (4.2kg). Happy to sort out postage if need and can go as cheap or expensive as any prospective buyer might want. It'll be well packaged as I have access to the other half's business packaging room along with cardboard guitar transit boxes.
