  1. My really nice Fretless Bass with a Slab Rosewood lined fingerboard, plays like the proverbial dream and sounds great with oodles of mwoarrrrr. In excellent condition with just a few light play marks. Set up really nicely with a low action all the way up the neck, a lovely rich ‘woody’ sound & the bridge pickup provides instant Jaco when required, otherwise it can be played without the Mwoarrr. Nice and light at 3.6kg, or a tad under 8lbs in ‘old money’ according to my digital scales.The lines thankfully extend over the sides of the fingerboard making intonation a doddle, even for an old duffer like me. In excellent condition, with just a few play wear marks, but nothing serious. Specs……. Alder Body Maple Neck Lovely Figured Rosewood Slab lined Fretless fingerboard Yamaha Soap Bar neck & bridge pickups with individual volume and Master tone control. La Bella Flats - if memory serves. 38mm nut width, so very Jazz - esque + nice and shallow. Fender as new padded Gig bag included. Any questions, please give me a shout. Can post to the U.K. Mainland via Parcelforce 24 delivery, or collection welcome & knock £25 off the price.

  2. An absolute workhorse of a Bass which would not only make a great inexpensive back up bass, but it is such an excellent sounding & playable instrument, I would be happy to use it in any situation having a really nice set up with a low action, level frets & weighing just 3.6Kg, or just a tad under 8lbs in ‘old money’ according to digital scales. Specs…. Passive Alder Body Maple Neck Rosewood Slab Fingerboard 38mm nut width, so very Jazz - esque + shallow depth. Jazz style powerful pickups Bridge Volume, Neck Volume with Master tone controls 24 Fret Double octave fretboard 34” Scale length Ti Flats fitted which have had very little use Stagg padded Gig Bag in great condition included. There are a few play wear marks, but overall it is in very good condition - please see pics. Can post to the U.K. Mainland via Parcelforce 24, or collection welcomed & knock £25 off the total price. Any questions, please give me a shout.

  3. Ritter dual padded Bass Gig Bag in excellent condition with all zips working and easily houses two long scale Basses such as Precision or Jazz style instruments. Twin shoulder straps. Collection welcome, or can be posted via Parcelforce 24 hour service at cost price of £10.70 to the U.K. Mainland.
  4. Bought some strings from David & everything was spot on as usual. Thanks again David, very much appreciated👍👍
  5. Lovely P & that pickguard is far superior to the usual CS Jobbies❤️❤️👍👍
  6. 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👍👍
  7. I always thought it was the nail hole used when spraying seen on early Basses before they switched to using the ‘strip’?
  8. Plus one for the Avant Guard - closest I’ve seen to an original👍👍
  9. Mine was for my Fender Squier Mini P Bass, I couldn’t find anyone else that did them….
  10. Ah, it says he’s away until tomorrow…
  11. 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👍👍
  12. I found the Avant - Guard ones were very close to the originals. Here’s one I had on my AVRI, very ‘opalescent’ being Celuloid.
  13. Tl Flats - very little use. Can post to the U.K. Mainland in the original packaging. Gauges .043 .058 .070 .100

  14. Yet another incredible solderless Loom from John for my Squier Mini P Bass this time with the usual second to none service & craftsmanship using quality components. I was thinking of changing the pickups but the improvement in tone is so good there’s no need now, so it’s always worth fitting one of John’s Looms initially as even if you do replace the pickups later, you are safe in the knowledge that you already have a first class wiring harness. The great feature of them being solderless is that even an old technical Duffer like me can fit them literally in minutes. Also not being very technically gifted, I tell John the type of sound I’m looking for and he recommends the correct value of capacitor to fit - Fab. Thanks again John - outstanding👍👍

  17. Bought as a Xmas present (don’t tell Mrs. Dodgnofski)😟😟 - fitted once & less than 30 minutes playing time - .039 .056 .077 .096 gauges, long scale - uncut so will fit in line, or 2+2 etc. Although La Bella say these are extra light, in my humble opinion I would say they are more like light, or maybe even medium gauge. Would trade for the La Bella - or possibly other makes - flat round low tension jobbies for my old fingers, as lighter gauge as possible please.
  18. Bought some strings from Rob & they are spot on. Excellent communication, packaging & speedy delivery as ever. Thanks again Rob👍👍
  19. I ‘try’ every year & then one day the dreaded GAS creeps up from nowhere and ‘gets me’ 😳😳😂😂😂😂🙈🙈👍👍
  20. Always wished MM Basses came without the pickguard, plus to be really ‘picky’ - with ‘through body’ Potentiometers & input jack in place of the banana style control plate🙈🙈 Lovely Bass though & half way to ‘perfection’ - in my humble opinion of course😃😃 Having said that, I had the Sterling short scale version & the passive electronics were superb on that too. GLWTS👍👍
  21. Ah, yes - Mine were the longer shafted Lollipops👍👍
  22. My ‘68 had Lollipop tuners👍
  23. Around 90 miles away from me, so at my age I would need to purchase one of these first…..
