Best Combo I’ve ever played through - in my humble opinion of course. Lightweight, tiny footprint & plenty of volume for pub / small club Gigs - add an 8 ohm extension cab & it goes very loud + excellent tonal variation with the four band EQ, which is far superior to just the two filters on earlier versions. 150w RMS at 8ohm or 300w at 4 ohms if an 8ohm extension cab is added. Removable Amp - see video + the cabinet can be used as a stand alone speaker cab. Mid scoop - smiley face sound via the dummy Jack - provided or foot switch - not provided. Only used at home so in mint condition + Hot Covers padded cover included, also in mint condition. Postage to the U.K. Mainland included, or if you are able to collect - knock off £25.00. What MarkBass say…….. The Minimark 802 N300 Combo features the new NANO MARK II head, which offers a myriad of tone shaping options on the go with its complete and effective 4 band EQ controls. Plus, thanks to the included input jack insert (or an optional single footswitch) connected to the dedicated FSW input you can easily have fast access to a scooped-mid EQ setting to get a tight tone for slap or pick bass. And as highly requested, the head is REMOVABLE! Not only can you use the head separately, you can use the combo's 2x8" cabinet standalone matched with a different head, or as an extension of another combo, or even together with another 8 ohm cabinet. The two 8" custom woofers and an onboard piezo tweeter give an incredible warm and focused sound - making this combo a brilliant choice for electric bass and also ideal for double bass as well as acoustic bass through its faithful reproduction of acoustic instruments! Removable head amp The practical design of the Minimark 802 N300 allows musicians to easily remove the ultracompact NANO MARK II amp head and use it separately. This is one of the most requested features from combo users. Of course it is also possible to use also the 2x8" cabinet standalone, matched with another amp, as extension of a combo, or with another 8 ohm cabinet. > Complete and effective controls The separate Gain and Master controls allow you to optimize the input level setting and the master volume as needed, and thanks to the simple and effective 4-band EQ controls you can get a clear, loud, defined EQ resulting in an authentic reproduction of your bass guitar's sound. Scooped-mid EQ ideal for slap and pick bass tones are available using the included input jack insert or an optional single footswitch connected to the dedicated FSW input, to have access to the two EQ tones while playing. > Power-to-weight ratio / ultra-portable amp The Minimark 802 N300 weighing only 28 lbs / 12.7 kg and has an unbelievable power-to-weight ratio and the rich and warm tones unique to Markbass. It cranks out 150W of power on its own (300W when used with an extension cab) and its full range - with plenty of bottom end - is unrivalled. > Wide frequency response Despite its small size, the two 8" speakers efficiently reproduces a wide range of frequencies, even with five and six strings basses. > Also ideal for double bass and acoustic bass The sound of acoustic instruments like double bass and acoustic bass is faithfully reproduced by the 2x8” woofers. > Bi-band limiter Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes. > MPT - MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop a proprietary power amp technology in house. When compared against the competition, all Markbass amps feel unique, with a more defined sound and more power. Our MPTpower amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.

My really nice P Bass which I would rate as being in excellent 9/10 condition with just a few play wear marks mainly to the pick guard, tiny piece of the headstock decal missing + small dings & play wear marks, the worst being near the bridge cover / rear strap button area - please see pics. The black mark on the rear of the otherwise unmarked neck is ‘in the wood’ & not damage, + the headstock is clean & free from damage. I’ve owned & played umpteen P Basses over the past half Century and I can honestly say that this is right up there with the best of them - in my humble opinion of course. Alder Body, Maple Neck & beautiful dark Rosewood Board. Very low action all the way up the fingerboard with spot on relief thanks to level frets & a Pro set up which makes this P Bass very easy to play, plus very well balanced at 3.9kg, or 8.59lbs in old money. Nut width is 44mm + nice & shallow in depth, so very comfortable to play. Fully functioning easy to turn both ways Truss Rod, which can be adjusted without removing the neck Neck & neck pocket are as tight as the proverbial Gnats Chuff! Reverse Vintage stylee tuners. New set of La Bella Low Tension Flats just fitted. Fender USA superb quality C & G black hard case, with plush red interior & key included in virtually mint condition. Numbered Fender Certificate of Authenticity + both ashtrays, tug bar & Case Candy, including a couple of handy zipped pouches. Lovey playing / sounding P Bass that I’m sure the new owner will be ‘cock a hoop’ with! This beauty is all original, apart from the pick guard screws which l’ve changed for black ones as l think they look better than the silver finish ones, but the originals will be included so they can be swapped back if required. I believe these were based on a ‘63 P Bass rather than the newer American Original 60’s ll which I think are based on a ‘62 P? What Fender say……………. Serial Number: V2093899 with Certificate of Authenticity. Origin: USA Year: 2020 American Original '60s Precision Bass® Description By the 1960s, the Precision Bass was the workhorse electric bass; from the clubs of Detroit to the beaches of Southern California, its tone laid the foundation for modern music. The American Original '60s Precision Bass has all of the features with which the P Bass conquered the world of music - elegantly simple, its sound, style and comfort are joined by modern playability. ITEM SHOWN: American Original '60s Precision Bass®, Rosewood Fingerboard, 3-Color Sunburst MODEL #: 0190120800 CASE/GIB BAG: Black Hardshell Product Specs Body Alder Body Finish Gloss Nitro Lacquer Body Shape Precision Bass® Bridge 4-Saddle Vintage-Style with Threaded Steel Saddles Color 3-Color Sunburst Commodity Code 9207.90.0040 Control Knobs Knurled Flat-Top Controls Master Volume, Master Tone Country Of Origin USA Dimensions 6.25x18.25x51.00 IN Fingerboard Round-Laminated Rosewood Fingerboard Radius 9.5" (241 mm) Fret Size Vintage Tall Hardware Finish Nickel/Chrome Middle Pickup Pure Vintage '63 Split Single-Coil Precision Bass® Model Name American Original '60s Precision Bass®, Rosewood Fingerboard, 3-Color Sunburst Neck Finish Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Neck Material Maple Neck Shape 1963 "C" Number of Frets 20 Tall Vintage Tuning Machines Pure Vintage Reverse Open-Gear Weight: 3.9k Case Fender C & G Black Hard Case with plush Red Interior.

According to La Bella this is ‘100% OK’ but I would prefer it if only the silks were anywhere near the tuning post - any thoughts fellow BC’ers?

Bought some strings from David & everything was spot on as usual. Thanks again David, very much appreciated👍👍
-
David kindly answered my plea for a hard case for my P Bass. It was at least as good as described, really well packaged & he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thanks again David, appreciated👍👍

I always thought it was the nail hole used when spraying seen on early Basses before they switched to using the ‘strip’?
-
Plus one for the Avant Guard - closest I’ve seen to an original👍👍
-
Mine was for my Fender Squier Mini P Bass, I couldn’t find anyone else that did them….
-
Ah, it says he’s away until tomorrow…

Check out the Guy below on eBay. Very good looking, well made and quite ‘opalescent’ - about as good as you can get without paying hundreds of your finest British pounds on an Avant Guard jobbie from France👍👍

I found the Avant - Guard ones were very close to the originals. Here’s one I had on my AVRI, very ‘opalescent’ being Celuloid.
