Yamaha BB-734A in translucent matte black complete with its original Yamaha gig-bag. Great basses, but needs to be moved on to someone who'll use it as I have a Yamaha BBPH, which has many similar parts including the same active/passive preamp. Set up with 100-40 round-wounds if I recall. Great condition but with a few light marks on the scratchplate, as you'd expect from a bass that's been played. Happy to post free of charge, but don't worry......... not with Hermes ๐ Having said that, I'd happily knock a few quid off for Covid friendly collection or a nearby handover. I'm working away until Fri 9 Apr, so should it sell before then there may be a few days delay in me being able to get it sent.

Tom bought a Squier CV Precision with a CV Jazz neck from me. Good comms, prompt payment and hassle free. Highly recommended.

Squier Classic Vibe Precision in walnut with Classic Vibe Jazz neck...... Yep, an odd one. The Classic Vibe Jazz neck, which is only a year old, is the doing of the original owner who moved on the original Precision neck. Only selling as I've recently acquired one of the original CiC Classic Vibe 70s Precisions still with its original neck......... Jazz necks aren't really my thing. Set-up with Rotosound 100-40 nickel plated rounds. I moved the bridge a couple of mm, as for some reason the E string was further from the edge of the fretboard than the G, but all is now ok as you can see. Happy to post free of charge (not Hermes), can collect under whatever Covid restrictions are in at the time if you want a quick test noodle or drop off if nearby.

2003 G&L Tribute ASAT Special. Made in Korea I've been told by the G&L types. Good condition and comes complete with a Gator hard case. It's a subtle blue/black burst with a stock pearl white scratchplate (the only other I've seen in this colour is a fully-fledged US one). Has a few lacquer scratches etc you'd expect from a guitar of this age and hopefully they show in the photos. Sometime in its life a four-way selector switch was fitted - three work as you'd expect on a Tele type guitar (Bridge, Both, Neck) and the fourth seems to be very similar to Neck, but to my deaf ears seems a smidge warmer (I could be wrong as it's competing with ringing.... lol). My understanding from G&L spotters is that the four-way wasn't stock fitted. Happy to post at buyers expense in a manner/way of your choosing (I can supply options, but not Hermes), collected or dropped off if nearby, with the latter two in a Covid friendly way.

Confusing Squier Standard 5er
Shepster8316 replied to TheGreek's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I'm sure it'll eventually play havoc with the minds of the 're-string police' and one will buy it just so they can trim them and wrap the 1st string round the tuner the other way ๐ -
Is this 76 P legit? (fender experts needed)
Shepster8316 replied to Nibody's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Just my pennyโs worth having owned a few 76-79 Precisions. The pots look all wrong and the cap certainly is wrong. Plus, the caps in 76 were soldered to the tone pot only (up up about 74 the caps were soldered between the vol and tone pots). It would be nice to see the back of those pickups too ๐ -
Bought two unopened sets of strings from Mat. Good comms and excellent to deal with. Posted them straight away tracked.

I donated a large box of bass and guitar parts to Jon for a charity project he is part of. An extremely grateful and courteous individual.

I bought a BB414 off Mark and he was reasonable and courteous throughout with good comms....... even let me collect the bass from his workplace ๐ Highly recommended and a pleasure to deal with.

Another JV P bass at a barmy price
Shepster8316 replied to Paddy515's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Or the JV that isn't a JV....... or actually is now Iโve seen some decent research (ignore me) ๐ -
Sean bought a L2000 Tribute from me after he reached out in Wanted Items. Smooth transaction and a pleasurable easy deal to make. Excellent.

I bought a Hipshot XTender, which was a pleasant simple transaction and he was a pleasure to deal with. Excellent.

**SOLD** Sterling Ray 34 Roasted Neck + Seymour Duncan SMB-4D
Shepster8316 replied to Shepster8316's topic in Basses For Sale
Weighs in at 4.4kg (9.75ib). No cracks, dents, chips, dings, but has was my gig and practice bass prior to lockdown, so has some very light marks on the lacquer that are visible in the right light (problem with glossy black basses). The scratchplate has the usual marks on it you'd expect from gig and practice use - I'm a plectrum player who learnt to play listening to JJ Burnel, so give it some at times...... but that's what a scratchplate is for (might have a vintage white/off-white scratchplate too that doesn't show marks as much as the black one and can lob that in too). -
Am I missing something on this super bargain.......... I can't believe it's not been snapped up ๐ And to 'chum the waters' the postage is very reasonable too! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1977-TRAVIS-BEAN-TB-4000-BASS-made-in-USA-as-used-by-PIL/174537717193?hash=item28a34235c9:g:GvEAAOSwI9xfBM6L

Squier Contempory Active Jazz Bass in a mat black finish, which seems to have the ability to show up even a fingerprint ๐ Has had a set up and has black Rotosound Nexus roundwounds. These are unusual things, but great fun as they are a bit Jazz and a bit Precision in sound. They play and sound great really. They usually have a plain unfinished neck, however during a massive bout of boredom in the big lockdown (self-employed) and as a former sprayer before my Army days I decided to refinish it in vintage tinted lacquer ๐ Looks better I think and I don't have a problem whether a neck has a satin finish or a lacquered on. Happy to post in these unusual times, or can be collected from the doorstep ๐

G&L Tribute JB-2 in Sonic Blue, although the pics seem to make it look more white. Had a recent set up too and has roundwounds on it. It has a mark on it near the controls which was a whack that damaged the layers of paint and lacquer. I did a patch-up job to stop it getting worse, but seems to have done the job. The repair looks more 'stand-out' in the pics given the sonic blue comes across as more white (it looks better in person...... honest). You could always get a repair done properly once these weird times go back to normal. Other than that, it's mark free. If you're one of those who love a pristine bass, of which I'm not one, then maybe not for you ๐ Happy to post in these odd times, or feel free to collect from the doorstep.

The newer version of the Sterling Ray 34 with the roasted maple neck. I've changed the pickup to a Seymour Duncan SMB-4D, but no idea what I did with the stock one. Comes with the stock gig-bag (in the pics) and recently had a set up with roundwounds. Only selling as I have a MM Stingray Classic, so this doesn't get used anymore. Been used and has a few expected marks on it, but mainly on the scratchplate etc as you'd expect. Happy to post in these unusual times, but doorstep collection isn't an issue either. These seem to be over ยฃ850 new, so priced to sell ๐

Bought a gig-bag from Chris. Simple, straight forward and smooth transaction........ helped by the fact he was only a few mils away ๐

Rich bought an Ashdown cab from me. Good comms and prompt payment followed by a service station car park meet up. Excellent, thanks.
