  1. Fender Am. Std. Precision Bass

     

    Good sounding and playing USA precision bass in Olympic white (which has yellowed nicely).

    The bass is technically good, but has some cosmetic flaws which explains the lower price. There is a big crack in the finish (not the wood) on the back of the body. Probably it has been in the sun too much, which could well be the case given it has discoloured to a yellow creamy colour. Otherwise there are a few smaller cracks and usermarks.

     

    As you can see on the pictures, the fretboard has a very, very nice grain to it.

     

    Playability is very good, it has been set up with a comfortable low action. The bass is strung with thomastik flats.

     

    The original case is included. The case has 2 cracks (repairable with glue?) but is very well usable.

     

    Asking €795

     

    I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

     

    As for trades I am interested in; jmj mustang bass (black), Ampeg V4(b) or a decent 60s style jazz bass (roadworn fiesta red per example)

  2. Maybe it helps a bit to toy with the pickup heights and balance between them.. you can lose that deep clarity if they are too close to the strings.

     

    Jazzes can sound a bit different from each other though. My '81 has that very clear and warm jazz sound, where my former 71 definitely had more pronounced mids. 

  3. I have them slanted, adjusted to the string heights/curve. I don't measure but just use my ears. I put the pickup as close to the strings as possible, but where the strings do not touch the pickup while playing and no weird sounds or distortion occur.

  4. Music Man Stingray 1982

     

    Very nice Pre-EB Stingray in good old sunburst finish:

    The bass is in very good condition for it's age. Everything works like it should and the neck is straight and adjustable. There is some bucklerash on the back as well as other small blemishes around. On the headstock, there is some discoloured area on the back, which seems due to moist because of cracked lacquer.

     

    Playability is good with a low action and sounds tremendous with either rounds or flats. It now has been fitted with fresh nps rounds. Weight is 4.5kg on my kitchen scale.

     

    The very rare and original cream corduroy case is included in the sale. As you can see it has seen some action, but it's still functional. One latch tends to pop open, so might need a repair if you want to use this case instead of storing it.

     

    Asking €3.250

     

    I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

     

    (Partial) trades are negotiable. I'm interested in a good 60s type jazz bass (roadworn or Avri per example), Ampeg v4b, mustang bass (jmj or vintage) or maybe a good solid state head like Gallien-Krueger RB series. Also a fender Jazzmaster guitar could be of interest.

     

    I've got more stuff to add in a trade if something really nice (read; cool vintage Fender) is being offered.

     

    Sensible offers only please.

  5. Gretsch White Falcon Bass

     

    Very nice Gretsch semi-hollow with classy (kinda flamboyant) looks, and a good range of great sounds.

    IMG_20220127_164246.thumb.jpg.e31da48faede5350eaac3d5ba8441506.jpg

     

    The bass is in very good condition. It has some blemishes on the protective backpad from a stand, but otherwise I haven't seen any damages.

     

    The Falcon comes with it's original case with keys, certificate of authenticity, other paperworks and a truss rod tool.

     

    Currently it's fitted fit optima gold rounds that the previous owner put on the bass. They match with the look of the bass very well, but are actually a bit too short. So the thinner tapered parts of the strings are resting in the nut.

     

    I got this bass in a trade, but don't need it myself. I've decided not to change the strings on forehand as I don't know the future buyers taste.

     

    Asking €2.950

    (Partial) trades are negotiable. I'm interested in a good 60s type jazz bass (anything from better Squier and up), Ampeg v4b, mustang bass (jmj or vintage) or maybe a good solid state head like Gallien-Krueger RB series. Also a fender Jazzmaster guitar could be of interest.

  6. Very cool and rarely offered Ampeg Reverberocket R50H guitar head from the '90s.

    This amp just sounds amazing with guitar and goes plenty loud. It has nice cleans but has some nice drive available. As most tube amps it will probably serve well with bass too, though I haven't tried it on a proper bass cab (yet) to be honest.

    IMG_20211019_160019.thumb.jpg.374dfa15072d71fec8c0653a834d729e.jpg

     

     

    The head is used but in good condition. I just received it back from a check-up. The tubes are still good and everything works fine. The original footswitch is included. The label says it's a 120 volts amp, but this is not correct (wrong label or modded) as it works on the European network.

     

    Asking €650

     

    I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

     

    As you see on the last picture, I have the matching cab too. It's available for sale , but I can't offer that one to be shipped.  The cab is not included in the mentioned pricing.
