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.

There is a little relief. Pretty much like a standard Fender. There are sadowsky 45-105 stainless steel strings fitted now.

So pretty. This doesn't exactly kill my Modulus Gas..

In my experience around €75 through eurosender.

Fender USA Precision 1982 Up for sale or trade is my beautiful "transitional era" precision. It still has the 70s type neck/logo/tuners, but the body has the deeper/rounder contours that returned in the Dan Smith era. Also the white pickup covers are typical for that Era. It still has the 70s style chrome bridge- and pickup covers though. Overall it looks like a 70s Fender bass, but with a nicer build quality. The bass is in pretty good condition for being nearly 40 years old. It has a few damages and usermarks, but nothing serieous. Overall it has a fresh appearance. Its not only a great looking bass, it plays lovely too with a low action if wished so. Technically the bass is all fine. The neck is straight and adjustable, and all the electronics and hardware function like they should. The bass appears to be all original except for the bridge plate. Nut width is 42mm and weight 4.7kg on my kitchen scales. A non-original generic hardcase is included. €1.650 (£1.470) The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship with europe/UK at buyers risk.

Nut width is 40mm, and my kitchen scale says it weighs 4,15 kilo's.

Will get back to this when I get home tonight or tomorrow morning.

Gibson SB-450 Cool and rare Gibson from the '70s. Apparently less then 1.000 were made, so there aren't too many of them around. As comparing from the internet (serial numbers and type of tuners), it's likely to be from 1972 or early 1973. I bought it as being a 1972 myself. Pictures: As you can see from the pictures, the bass has been used. It has a lot of user marks and finish checking all over. The bridge has been replaced (original one in poor condition is still there), as well as the truss rod cover. It should be mentioned that the plastic cover of the bridge pickup has broken at the point where the adjustment screw enters. Someone tried to melt it together again, but its still loose. I've set the hight, and left it this way. Further this bass is in good functional condition. The neck is straight and all hardware and electronics function like they should. This bass plays and sounds great. It has an open, clear and full punchy sound. Not what is usually expected from a Gibson. It's also a very light instrument; my kitchen scale says it's only 3,35 kilos! The original hardcase is included. Asking €1.100 (approx £975) Now €750 with hardcase included or €650 without hardcase. The bass is located in the Netherlands. Shipping is possible at buyers risk and expense. Trades are welcome: old fender Mustang guitar, am std strat... 2eq stingray with lacquered neck, bunch of effects pedals, Mustang bass case, cool old Japanese basses.....
