Now SOLD and thanks for all the interest in the bass! 😊

I'm not sure tbh @Al Krow.Krow. The last one I had was almost 4kg. It's currently on hold but obviously, things can change in that regard.. This is Basschat after all! 😁

Thank you Sir! 😊

No, it's not @Al Krow.. 😊

On HOLD...

Now SOLD elsewhere, but to a Basschater I'm pleased to say! 😊

Hi Folks Having just bought another bass, it's time to move on this very nice Schecter Diamond P Custom 5 String bass, which is in extremely good condition and sounds amazing if you want a combination of P-bass thump and MM style funk all in one! It also does a good P/J turn too, just by pulling up the tone control which switches the MM pick up into a single coil J pick up.. Price-wise, I'm looking for £SOLD or near offer for this beauty! , I think these were over £650 when they first came out and now they've been discontinued replaced by an active version I believe, so I'm thinking that a price of around £350 for one in such good condition is about right, but if you'd like to make me a sensible offer, then please feel free to PM me. Background: On and off, I've had one of these basses since 2012; I bought a white one on here in 2012, sold it in 2015, then missed it so much I bought it back again before finally selling it in 2018. Then guess what? In true Basschat fashion, I bought this black one last year because I rate these basses so highly. I scoured t'interweb for ages to find this one and bought it from it's first owner who'd had it for a few years without really ever using it.. So it's in great shape with everything working as it should, playing and sounding great! Why I'm selling: Simply put, since I bought an Xotic 5 string Jazz last November, this bass hasn't had a look-in. And my back up to the Xotic is an Ander VanderEnd 5string Jazz, so I've finally accepted that it's time to let this go.. Photos: Attached are some photos... I do have more and, if you want to see them, just PM me your email address and I'll happily send them over to you.. Details: It's a 35" scale, passive bass, with an very even tone across all the strings and has a pretty thunderous sounding B-string! Though it's passive, the switching allows you to get a P Bass tone, Jazz bass tone and a MM bass tone too and with all of that, it has a really hot output to it - which is how Schecter designed these things; have a look at this Schecter video clip here: Schecter official YouTube clip And here's some other YouTube links of the Diamond P5, which will give you an idea of the tonal palette of the bass: Diamond P 5 Clip 1 Diamond P 5 Clip 2 More details available on the Schecter website Shipping etc: I'm always willing to ship basses, so if you want it and you want me to ship it, I can promise you that it will be well packed!! Shipping costs are additional to the price of course, and I always recommend that you pay the extra to have a bass properly insured in transit. I have a very good hard case that I can throw into the deal for a little extra which will add extra protection too.. Equally, feel free to come and give it a try if you're local to me in Littlehampton, West Sussex - you won't be disappointed - well, by the tea and biscuits anyway!  Any questions, please ask here or send me a PM. Thanks for looking as ever, 😊 Nik

Hi Folks Here's a set of unused, high quality Wilkinson 4in a line vintage style chrome Tuners for sale. As can be seen in the photos, they're in excellent condition and with all the parts needed to fit them to your bass straight away. Dimensions are shown in the photos. I'm looking for £SOLD plus p&p for them please which I think is a fair price as they retail at about £60 online for a new set. I'm not looking for trades thanks.. The short backstory is that I bought them on Basschat for a P bass project that never happened, so am now hopeful someone else in the wider bass community can make good use of them. Here's the blurb about them : "Chrome - Direct replacement for P and J basses, ultra smooth action with full size base plates. Vintage -elephant ear’ style tuning keys. 4-in-line.

That's a quality instrument if I ever saw one! I remember the buzz about Lag basses back in the 80s and this exemplifies why.. GLWTS

Perfect - I'm all for equality and non-binary gender identification.. 😁

Mike, you are without doubt the Overlord of Coolest Ever Retro Bass Cabs! 😁 Does it come with a couple of free roadies?

Fabulous bass which I've had the pleasure of playing recently.. It's beautifully made, as you'd expect from Jeff Chapman, and it has a really cool provenance too.. GLWTS Frank 😊

Double P configuration rocks! I've had my BC Rich Eagle longer than any other bass for that very reason... See attached pic of it at last year's South East Bass Bash.. Anyway, your Fernandes is another beauty from the Beedster Shop of Low End Superio Curios! 😁 GLWTS Chris.

Beautiful bass @mybass, Like many at last year's South East Bass Bash, I got to hear this bass and it's an absolutely great sounding instrument. In particular, I remember it for having a really lovely mid-range tone and clarity to it.. Hand built by an extremely talented musician and very knowledgeable and insightful bass luthier as well.. What's not to like!? 😊 GLWTS

Love the look of this bass, Chris! Loads of mojo, genuine mij build quality and as you say, a lovely rosewood fingerboard... Tbh, I'm surprised it's still here? Hope you find a buyer soon.. 😊

Stunning! 😊👍 GLWTS

Hi @Tomo, Thanks - I'll PM you.. Nik

Absolutely!!!

Thanks @casapete, that's good to know! 😊 I've had two of these before and always regretted selling them, so here I am again doing things for which my back won't thank me, but my ears will.!

Hi again @Rich Yes, it's sold (to me)...
