It'd sound really nice through something like a Barefaced Super Compact Hope you're doing well mate!

Please removed - part exchanged. Background. I bought this n NYE 2020. I've owned it since then, where I have played it at a few rehearsals and one gig. I'm selling it as I prefer my EB Musicman Stingray. The plan is to replace this and get another EBMM as a back-up to my main bass. There's a video of me playing it down below in the church at Upton Blues Festival. Fretless conversion: Done in summer 2022 by Ash Nightingale guitars in Stroud - (nightingaleguitars.co.uk) The bass: It's lovely. Classic Fender good looks and sounds. Maple neck, rosewood fretboard. Set up with a low action. Serial no. Z8061692 - made in 2008. There are some pictures, and one video (not the best audio though I'm afraid - just a phone) but happy to send more detailed pics of any specific part if anybody would like a closer inspection. Weight: I don't know the weight. I don't own scales but it's certainly not very heavy. Having said that, it's not swamp-ash so it's also not the lightest. Will try and find out, but might be a while. Price: Open to sensible offers. Trades: If you have a 90s or earlier EB MM Stingray with a Flea bridge, bird's eye maple neck in an alluring finish? Or perhaps a Stingray "Classic" with the string-through body I'd be interested to get into a discussion. The case / gig-bag. When I bought it it came in this shoddy looking gig-bag. It's rubbish. It's labelled as "superior" but it's anything but. I wouldn't put my worst enemy's bass in it. However, it's the only one it's got and the price is slightly lower to reflect this.This is also the reason why I am unable to post / courier this bass, unless a buyer wants to volunteer funds for shipping and a case. Location: Stroud, Glos. Buyer to collect over a cuppa. Alternatively, happy to drive to a convenient half-way meeting point for a service station deal. I don't have a battery powered amp though if you want to plug it in. Payment: Cash ideally. If not, bank transfer works too. Thanks for looking, any questions please either reply below or private message me and I'll do my best to get back to you as quickly as I can. Cheers-ta-nice one. Jack

Please remove - part exchanged. Thanks. Guild Starfire I semi-acoustic bass in vintage walnut finish. Bought locally in Gloucestershire just before Christmas. It's nice - just not for me. Nice sounding instrument, lovely fretboard bounds in an equally lovely vintage walnut finish. No gigs done with it - it's practically brand new. Set up to my liking with a set of half-wounds on them. I do have a brand new set of roto sound flats that will come with the bass too if you want them. It's pretty light, probably only a couple of kilos. Soft-gig bag included. Located in Stroud, Glos. Happy for buyer to come down and try it out in a no pressure environment. Not interested in trades, as I already have basses to go back to. Would prefer buyer to collect, or happy to arrange a meeting at a convenient meeting point. Reason I'm selling is after a few months of playing I still keep wandering back to my EB MM Stingray and / or USA Precision bass. Any questions, of if you want any pics / close ups etc please feel free to drop me a line and I'll be happy to help out. Thanks, Jack

Bump for a lovely bass! Come and take it off my hands

Still available - grab yourself something special to put under the tree this year!

PM replied Johnnie

Still for sale - make me an offer

Bump. Gigged this last night, and the urge to keep it is now strong... Come at me before I pull it!

Absolute stunner

Zero to hard-on in 0.483 seconds... a new record I think! Shall be in touch if my jazz bass sells, but I imagine this won't hang around long...

Yes, you don't see them often. When I was at BassBros buying it, I tried a few other maple / maple natural 70s reissues, but imo this one was much better (hence why I bought it!)

UPDATE - PART EX'D. PLEASE REMOVE. THANKS. FOR SALE: USA American Vintage Re-Issue 1975 Fender Jazz Bass, made in 1999. Bought from Will @ BassBros in May of this year. Has done some domestic and abroad gigs with me over the summer. Stunning sounding instrument, lovely rosewood fretboard bound with block inlays in a stunning sunburst. It comes with the ashtray bridge and pickup covers too. Set up to my liking with a set of DR round-wounds on them. It's just short of 5KG. Lovely period-correct case. The only change I made was to add strap-locks. Can leave these on with the strap if you like, or I still have the original ones. Located in Stroud, Glos. Happy for buyer to come down and try it out in a no pressure environment. Not interested in trades, as I already have basses to go back to. Open to sensible offers. Would prefer buyer to collect, or happy to arrange a meeting at a convenient meeting point. Can look into couriering but would be at buyer's risk and cost. Reason I'm selling is after a few months of playing I still keep wandering back to my EB MM Stingray and / or USA Precision bass. Any questions, of if you want any pics / close ups etc please feel free to drop me a line and I'll be happy to help out. Thanks, Jack

Wow. Bump from me. I used to have the SWR 750X, Son of Bertha and Goliath 410. Really amazing stuff. Arguably the best bass sound I've ever had! GLWTS.

This is my dream bass! I'm only in Stroud too. Alas, it is just not my time. Good luck with the sale, I'm sure it won't hang around long. 😊

One last bump before I remove this and keep as a back-up

Still available. The markbass rig has gone, but the LM Vintage Head is still for sale.

PM sent

BUMP! Markbass rig + case still for sale in Stroud.

Hi Leftfret, Yes, still for sale and all in working order. I have sent you a PM. Thanks, Jack

EDITED: Selling as a whole rig only.

06/07/22: SOLD. PLEASE REMOVE. FOR SALE: Markbass rig - 600W Little Mark III head - Traveller 102P cab on top - Traveller 115P cab below It's all housed very satisfactorily in a trifibre hard case - so it's in pretty good nick.

Bring your bass, have a play and I'll make the tea. Reason for selling is we can't fit the whole thing and our PA in our small van. Gutted. Trades? Well, I'd really like to try a Barefaced 4x10... *22/06/22 - Edit - After being asked, I am only selling this as a whole rig / unit and won't split as it's all housed in the custom made case. Please feel free to ask any questions. Also for sale is the LM Vintage Head. Separate ad for that here. Fender precision bass not for sale. Thanks for looking. Jack

Bump!
