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

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. 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.

Very nice. It can't get much sexier than this.

The tort on this jazz is one of the prettiest I've seen with some nice smokey/swirly pattern. The one on my '66 precision is more static.

Yes it will probably be fine with bass too, though Ive never tried it properly. In the 50 watt range I'm happy with my B25B at the moment :). Would love to have a v4b or similar too at one point for a bit more power.

It's a guitar head so thought it might be better to list it in this section to avoid confusion.

Bump

The body is as curvey as my booty!

Pretty much yes. Though the original telecaster bass was actually a reissue of the original first 51 single coil precision bass, without the contours. Thanks

Fender CS '55 Precision Bass Great custom shop bass. It has a light ash body with blonde finish, and the neck has a nice soft V-shape. This is a relic version, and it looks actually pretty good. The lacquer has natural looking wear with finish checking. The bass is in used but good condition, complete with certificate. It is a light instrument, weighing around 3,6kg. It has been set up with a new set of d'addario rounds. The original case is included. One latch is defective, but those can be easily replaced. Fixed price: €2.650 The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Partial trades now negotiable. I'm interested in a good 60s oriented jazz bass (roadworn 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.

The class of '66:

As far as my knowledge goes, it seems to be the case indeed

Got a few inquiries about nu width; it's 38mm. Price dropped.

Now €7.250 for this very nice '66 jazz!!!

I've fitted this bass with a set of la Bella's to try them out. I never realized they can actually sound that nice on a good jazz bass. Totally different from the the TI's, but I like it a lot. 🙂

As for trades; I'm looking for a good guitar. My interest goes out for a Jazzmaster mainly, but might consider other offsets or a strat as well.

Pricedrop to €7.400 and slightly updates trade options.
