Thanks @silverfoxnik! I really want it to be played rather than sat in the corner. I am doing a bit of a clearout currently as I'm moving and this bass sounds stunning but it deserves more love than it's getting!

Dear Basschatters, I am selling this beautiful Tokai PB80 that I bought from @silverfoxnik last year (I've included the original ad at the bottom of this ad for more info). It's a stunning bass - all original apart from the bridge which has been replaced for a Schaller 3D model and I replaced the pots as they were scratchy. Since buying from Nik I shielded the cavity, replaced the pots and installed a set of Pino signature flats. I bought for £475 and I have priced accordingly to include the work and strings. The bass has a few cosmetic bumps but nothing that affects playability - the neck is perfect! I'm only selling as I have far too many P basses currently and this one isn't getting used as much as I'd like. Any questions olease don't hesitate to ask! Best wishes, Sam

I’ll take this if it doesn’t sell!

I have no idea on the worth of this at all so I am really happy as I have said to take offers. It'd mean a lot for it to go to someone with the passion to restore it!

Thanks Binky! I'll do that now!

Dear Basschatters, Here I have a Herb Gastelum 1988 precision 44mm bass neck with original tuners and hootenanny button. I have had it looked at recently by a local luthier who has told me that it would need a new fretboard to be in functioning condition. He showed me a scan of the neck and there is a ramp at the heel. The fretboard is quite thin and the frets, although in brilliant condition, are quite short frets to begin with. So the only way of having the neck in working condition would be to get a new freboard and to have the neck wood sanded to level it out. There is also an amount of lacquer missing on the back evenly across the neck where it looks as though someone has taken the lacquer off to identify a place on the fingerboard or has had the neck resting against an amp in the same place or something like that. It's perfectly comfortable but someone may want to sort the finish out. I have a couple of Herb G necks and they are absolutely fantastic so I know if someone wanted to take the project on that it would be well worth it to restore the neck. As it happens I have no idea what it's currently worth but I would love for it to go to someone who likes a project as I have too many basses to be working on currently. Please feel free to send me any offers or questions! Best wishes, Sam

I’d love to buy this if you’re able to post! Happy to cover the cost!

Does this come with a cover? It looks as though the pictures have lost their link to me. I’d love to see them!

Hahahha thanks @Beedster! I'm looking for a quick sale so any offers will be considered!
