Hi all, I got this from BassDirect as part of a partexchange deal, it's new and unused. I tried it once to see if it works, and it does! Cheers, Udo

Hi all, I bought this for a project that never went anywhere, glad I didn't buy the original! I only got it in February from PMT in London, you get the receipt and their warranty with it as well. The bass never left my flat and comes with new strings (EB Cobalt, 55gauge) and a brand new bag (from Thomann), the pickguard still has its plastic on. I previously had thinner strings on it and then I had buzz on the E-string. But with these now none whatsoever. Just in case you play thinner ones, you might need to take a look at the nut. Any questions, let me know. Happy to ship as well or meet in or around London. Udo

So, according to this webpage http://faq.yamaha.com/us/en/article/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-guitars/802/4095 it should be Made in Taiwan, on May 6th 2000 and is unit number 259. Unless I got the system completely wrong.

I have no idea. I got it from fleabay with no further information about its history. I'll try to find out with the serial number when it is from. I'd be surprised if it was as old as AndyTravis said, because it is in such good shape.

New lower price £450 425 now. I don't know much about this bass, got it of ebay the other week really just to give it a spin. I put TI Jazz flats on it and it sounds good, a nice passive thumb to it now. I am not 100% convinced thought that it is what I want or need. The bass is in superb cosmetic condition for its age, no chips or dings/dongs. My bathroom scale says it's just below 4kg. With a thin strap it has a bit of neckdive, not much, but since I mostly play with a plec it is not ideal for me. I am not 100% convinced to sell it, but if anyone is dying to get their hands on one of these I paid £500 and look for a similar amount. I am based in SE London if anyone wants to take a closer look at this one. Cheers, Udo

All work perfectly fine. The Boss has quite some marks on it, I got it from ebay and never used it much myself in the end. The Aguilar is mine from new, I used it for a couple of years, but no issues and no major marks. The Morley is from ebay as well, I gave up wanting to sound like Cliff so don't need it any longer. Only the Morley has a power cable coming with it. The Valve Drive has a problem with the on-off knob (the right switch), but who would switch it off anyway? It might be an easy fix to replace the switch for someone, I never bothered. The other switch (it changes between vintage and modern tone) works fine. It sounds awesome and has been my main gigging tool for a while, so it comes with a lot of character (read it looks used). The valve is still the original one from when I bought the pedal around 5 years ago. EBS Valve Drive - £160 Aguilar TLC - £110 Boss ODB-3 - £40 Morley PowerWahBoost - £75 I prefer meeting (London area) to avoid having to post the items, but can post as well and would suggest to split posting costs. Any questions or if you want more photos, just let me know. Cheers, Udo

Thanks! And I agree 100%

I had this for sale up here a while ago and changed my mind. Now I changed it again Super comfortable bass, it is weighing in at just below 4 kg. The slightly smaller body makes it sit very nicely against your chest, belly, waist or knees. The neck is close to a Jazz neck, thin and very easy to play. I have Thomastik Jazz flats on at the moment but can put roundwounds on as well. Active/passive switch that doubles as the volume, one blend and a 2EQ knobs. It comes with a Sandberg bag and promotional material from the German company. I own it since early 2017 and got it 2nd hand from Cool and Classic Guitars, a very fine bass this is. I can post insured if wanted, or meet within a reasonable distance from SE London. Happy for anyone to come over and have a look at it as well.

What can I say? Post xmas lack of moneys I guess! Maybe I should price it up to see if that works?

I'll give that a miss, I am really looking to sell if possible. Only two hands and too many basses!

No, but what do you have in mind?

and here are the pictures of the actual bass as promised

If this sounds familiar - yes, it's the bass Dosi Y'Anarchy had on here two weeks ago. I traded it against a Jazz but have since got my hands on a nice Yamaha - so this one has to go again. The original listing of his is this one https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/331130-traded-fender-50s-precision-honeyblonde/ Everything as mentioned there, the only difference is the neckplate - it has a Fender Squire one as he couldn't find the original one. But the plastic is still on the tuners The pic is from google, I'll upload some of the actual bass tonight when I am back home from work (my one has no cover on the bridge). It sounds, well, like a precision does. What I found is that it goes easily into semi distortion mode if you dig hard with a pick. I lowered the PUs as much as possible and now it has a pretty sweet slight extra edge to its sound. But I guess it depends a lot on how you play it. I can post or also meet within 50 miles of SE London. Here is the official spec description: Fender 50s Precision The 50s Precision Bass guitar delivers the look, sound and vibe of Fenders first basses without breaking the bank. Features include an alder body, maple neck, split single-coil Precision Bass pickup, volume and tone controls, gold anodized pickguard and vintage hardware.

I went up a level to the Quilter bass block and Barefaced Supercompact - even louder The Ampeg is left and the 3rd gen ONE 10 - nice little setup on its own and I can post both items.

Hi, yes, it's still here.

The Puma is gone, it simply was too agile and couldn't be tamed! I can now also post at least one of the cabs as I got a nice empty box now.

Thanks! And I agree 100%

Here are more pictures, more than anything they show my missing talent to take good shots!

Only one Barefaced ONE10 left, the 3rd Gen one - £300. Hi all, Out with the old and in with the new! I am getting a different rig and the old stuff needs to go. I will upload more photos later when I am back home. Ampeg PF350 - £140 I bought it here in August from dustandbarley, only used 2 hours in my house. Comes with original packaging and all. Puma 500 - £300 This one is gone now Also from this very marketplace, I bought it off Deedee. Comes with original box as well. Barefaced ONE 10s - £300 each or £575 combined. One is a new 3rd gen and one is an older ONE Retro I bought off Lary_M on here as well. Both have one of these Cajon carrying bags. Barefaced ONE 10 3rd Gen in cajon carrying bag - £300 Everything is in perfect working order and condition. I am upgrading to a Quilter bass block and a Barefaced SC, that's the only reason for selling. I am based in SE4, south East London and can drive as well a bit if needed. I can't send the cabs as I have nothing to pack them up with unfortunately. Cheers! Udo
