    Aguilar OBP-3 preamp: Its a great and versatile preamp, but I don't use it anymore. It was taken out of my bass 2 weeks ago, and worked fine. I left the stacked knob attached, maybe the buyer can use it for some kind of configuration. There is some tape residu on top and side, but that doesn't affect its abilities. €90 feels about fair to me. I am happy to ship within europe/uk at buyers risk.

    I also have the 212RH 130 cab to go with it, that's also for sale now (€700 as a set). If purchased with the cab, it is pickup only though.

    Last drop to €750 for this lightweight old Gibson with its original case! It can also be sold without the case at €650 if buyer wishes so.

    Those amps sound very nice actually. I own a HD150 music man amp, with the original 2x12. It sounds very good and loud with that cabinet. Soundwise I think it is similiar to my bassman 135 The 75 watts seems a little, but maybe the 412 moves some air.. If it's not to far away from you, it might be worth the while to try it out.

    Can't comment on the embassy, but I've bought the vintage pro New a few months ago and like it a lot. It really is a well built bass that sounds great, just like I expected from reading all the positive reviews. Action can be set really low without trouble. I have also played the thunderbird standard, and this one feels a fair few steps up. And yes the headstock is huge... Mine was discounted when I bought it, apparently because they were replacing it with a revised version (I think the fretboard wood changed from rosewood to indian laurel).

    I didn't even know the basic specie, so it was a great help. Really

    I managed to find a nice 5-er: It is a great playing bass with low action. Initially I was looking for a 4, but I like the narrower spacing on 5ers. There is an obp3 fitted, which I'll replace for a simpler obp1. The bass sounds great anyway though

    Thanks, your birch suggestion helped me further . I think this could be Masur Birch though, like this Fodera guitar which is described having a Masur Birch top:

    I can confirm that this is a very nice precision. If you are initially looking into late 70s Fenders, you might want to look at this one. It's just a few years younger, but it's still similar to a 70s, only nicer build quality than all 70s fenders I have owned so far. The "good stuff" from the early 80s are my favorite fenders. The seller is a nice and reliable guy, and has graduated at packing school.

    Fender American Vintage '62 Jazz Bass Nice reissue Fender Jazz, made in the USA (2004). This jazz has a vvt configuration, which is apparently not uncommon on exported avri 62 basses. More pics: As you can see from the pictures the bass has been used well, so it has acquired a "roadworn" look. Technically the bass is perfect; all hardware and electronics work like they should, neck is straight, frets are fine. This bass plays smoothly with its thin neck and narrow vintage frets. The sound is best to be described as a good jazz bass. The original brown tolex case is included, as well as the original mute kit and some paperwork. Fixed price €1.150 The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to arrange insured shipping at buyers risk and costs.

    Trades are welcome too. Any nice (2eq) stingray out there? Otherwise, surprise me!
  17. SurroundedByManatees
    Partial trades are considered!

    It is a common thing indeed. I´ve wondered about it too when I encountered such a walnut plug on a Kasuga Precision copy for the first time

    Old Rickenbacker 4001 pickguard for pre-1974 models with the pickup closer to the neck. I purchased this one for my 1978, but didn't realise that the pickup had been moved half an inch from the neck in the 70s. The pickguard is in reasonable shape. It has a crack on the top, but it's complete. Asking €150 Meanwhile I've bought a modern replacement, but I might consider a swap for an original later 70s pickguard. I am also looking for an older Rickenbacker case.

    Just found my kitchen scales; it weighs in at a moderate 4,4 kilo. It has a little neckdive (on a mono Betty strap, a rougher one might eliminate this), but I feel it balances well.
