Last photo now shows the slim epoxy resin build to correct bridge plate curve, before silver paint and and addition of new black domed saddle screws. Might do £405 with a new set of strings chucked in ( D’Addario Nickels or Steels ) and UK delivery. OH ! did I mention the upgraded Hipshot USA tuners and Xtender? ( Yes, you did ! 😁) Cheers. Quent

Prices reduced again so now Firm . Thanks. Quent.

Hi everyone. Just moving this on at minimal price , kindly donated by Basschatter Lloydy when I bought his Pewter Beauty not long ago. Full working order before Lloydy replaced it - apart from one red lead has now come off the , errrrr, Vol or Blend pot. I include two original larger ( 20mm high 18.3mm diam and 6mm shaft hole ) heavy chrome knobs with new O rings in each. I havent got the full 20 yr service history but the Vol Blend splined pot shafts are 5.85mm outside diam but knobs tighten up OK with allen key. ( The Bass Mid Treb splined shafts are 6.0mm ) The fixed shafts on the board are 32mm centres x 2. The securing nuts and washers are there. Jack socket too. Photo now added. One split shaft crimped up - an ill fitting push on knob I remember - the two allen keyed chrome knobs included are from another BB614 I have ( bought some of those Hipshot lightweight ones from BD - £8 each! ) . So, £30 including UK mainland postage. Apart from seeing one pot is 500k on the photos I can’t help you with any other electronic specs. Cheers. Quent

Hi, These are still for sale ( March 2025 ) I took these tuners off my 2016 Spector NT4 and replaced with Gotoh Gold GB707 , hence photo to show Drop In compatibility. Just home use by myself for a few months ( I bought bass new in 2018) before putting the gold set on. So excellent condition and very little use. They’ve cleaned up as well as the other same size set I’m now selling (£45) on here , just no Spector Logo on these. The diagram dimensions are accurate in the photo. I have digital calipers. Just had to change a couple of dimensions on a Wilkinson open gear diagram. £40 includes UK postage. 2L-2R Weight 238g Cheers. Quent

Hi every one. On offer elsewhere now so reduced to £390 Bass Only. Prices now FIRM. Specification screenshot photos now added ( forgot to include! ) Photo added of narrow epoxy resin bridge plate curve correction ( cosmetic only) £390 for just the bass ( plus cheap new gig bag and UK mainland delivery ) £405 with your choice of D’Addario nickels or steels 45 65 85 105 which fit this bass through body. Let me know if you would like the spare bridge pickup mentioned below , add £35 so £440 gets you Bass, Strings, spare Bridge Pickup. ( V Slight wear to current cover under E and A Strings. Minimal) I bought this 2020 beast of a bass from Mudpup late last year and absolutely love the variation of tones achievable with the Bartolini MK1 pickups ( they are both reverse P pups inside the soapbar covers ) and 3 band Bartolini MK1 pre amp. Electronics , truss rod and hardware all working as they should. Specifications listed in the photos, also some Cort site info there. The 2 way switch is for Active/Passive - In passive mode the battery still powers the pickups signal but bypasses the 3 band and gives a more organic tone than the active 3 band pre amp can produce. So it is indeed the passive tone of the pickups but then powered to the jack socket. People often state that the passive tone is the “ same as active with the BMTreble controls at centre detent “ - it’s just their opinion but it doesn’t describe how good the passive sound is and misleads people to thinking you might as well not bother flicking the switch at all. It definitely is ! Upgraded previously so it sports a set of silver satin headed USA made Hipshot Ultralite tuners AND matching Detuner.( Check out BD tuner prices , 180 for these 3 and the Xtender vs standard non usa licensed set approx 80 , then sell those. ) These get the weight down to 3.96kg , 8lbs 12oz ( photo of scales ). I’ve since stumbled on another bass , the same model but a few ounces lighter. Definitely in the Senior age group I just prefer a lighter bass these days and , playing at home only , I can grab a Fiver rather than detune (and have to learn a song another way) so someone else can make better use of this upgraded tuner set. I can easily remove the silver fretboard markers and black ones which cover the original inset abalone ones which are shown in some of the pics. Let me know. I’ve made two cosmetic renovations to this bass which look neat and blend nicely with it’s rugged blue/black/ hippy purpley flamed looks. I used acrylic paints to go over the body top edge , at the forearm rest area which was noticeably rubbed pale ( photo). So it was the finish rubbed off rather than any wood wear. Body edge just south of the bridge too. Pretty good match and a final matte acrylic lacquer coat so this is durable and , being water based, you or I can reverse this finish with some rubbing with a damp piece of cotton cloth. I know because I took 3 attempts to be happy with it ! 😁 It blends in fine , and your arm covers it when playing anyway. The Hipshot bridge’s base plate casting rear end curve was not symmetrical. Purely cosmetic again but it was driving me nuts so I used epoxy resin ( “Steel”) which worked a treat. Great adhesion to the metal and then easy to fine finish and shape. It’s only a small visible silver painted area and sits well with the other parts of the bridge. The correct shape now matches the body recess curve. See last photo (just added ) to show the dark grey small epoxy resin build before I silver painted it. Replaced the pickup screws and black dome headed machine screws which were worn. It’s loaded with D’Addario Pro Steels,only light use. There’s no visible fret wear and the 2020 spec Panga Panga ( a type of Wenge ) board has a good looking parallel grain all along it. Nice and dark. The only slight wear is under the E and D strings on the bridge pickup cover towards the neck side. I collected this bass from Mudpup and didn’t notice the cover wear until I got home so it’s not unsightly. The photo angle taken exaggerates the issue. Not uncommon when a raised pup is preferred ( Steel strings used too ) and I’ve seen it on a neck pickup before. I lowered the pickup a little and don’t play hard. No problem. These Bart covers are tough plastic and a good 2mm thick. I do have a spare used , unmarked and perfect working order bridge MK1 pickup (Bartolini label is T for treble) which you can have for £35 ( my cost price) which you could fit. That came from someone else’s A4 too. ( 108mm x 34mm) A very comfortable bass. Nice volute on the neck. 38mm at the nut. String spacing at saddles is just under 19 mm ( 56mm E to G centres ). No neck dive ( small head stock ) and the matte finish all over ( inc neck ) feels as cool as it looks. 😎 All very clean , so ready to pick up and play. UK mainland delivery included with Fedex. I’ll double box with inner and outer cardboard boxes or cheapo but new gig bag. Specification below after 3 photos. Later photos of bass on a towel are when I first received it and before I’d thought of painting over the worn areas, so you can see how the body edge was had a dark edge around the butt end. Wiring diagram for Sparkies, has A6 noted but the same set up. Bartolini MK1 pups and Pre. I have sets of either - D’Addario EXL165SL 45 65 85 105 Nickel plated round wounds or their Pro Steels EPS165 which also fit the bass through body. £420 with a spare set of those. The Pro Steels on it haven’t been used much and remember those USA Hip Shot Tuners and the free UK insured mainland delivery. Thanks for looking and have a good Easter. Quent

PM’d

Sorry Geronimo. I clearly missed seeing your reply in 2022. I sometimes lose track of smaller items I am selling and only see PMs. Now gone I’m afraid. My apologies and hope you are having a great Christmas break. Cheers. Quent

Thanks for that Cocco 👍 and - Danny , I hope you get over your GAS soon - by getting your very own Fender American Elite Jazz V !! Trouble is, there’s only mine available. Some interest on Evil Bay but I’m Fendering them off on your behalf ! 🤓 Cheers. Quent

Hi. Here is my mint condition Sire P7 2nd generation 5 string bass which I bought new in Jan 2019 ( Made in 2018 ). It’s only had occasional home use here due to competition from my other 5 and 4 string basses. Hence the Mint condition with no blemishes, swirls or dents. Just as it came out of the Sire box. Selling because………….I bought a white one the same. ( I know. Couldn’t stop myself! ) The gloss black finish is superb and the pickups pre amp, truss rod , bridge and tuners all function perfectly. The bass has an Alder body, beautiful Ebony fingerboard with pearloid block markers, rolled edges and classy white binding. The maple neck has a satin urethane finish for a non stick, fast feel. A superb rocking powerhouse of a bass which can also cover a variety of subtle tones. Passive or Active with the awesome 18v powered 3 Band onboard Preamp. Both batteries checked this week, both reading 9.37v , not new but still on full output. Well balanced at 4.5kg , 9lbs 15oz whether standing or sitting. Strung with D’Addario 130 - 45 nickel plated roundwounds. 34 inch scale, 46mm nut width and 18mm string spacing at the saddles. More specification detail in the photos (screenshots) below. Truss rod and saddles allen keys included and I’ve taken off the body end strap button for the journey , it’s wrapped up and in the pouch with the allen keys safely away from the bass. This is a 2nd Generation Sire P7 in Perfect condition and please bear in mind I’ve included UK mainland Fedex insured delivery ( It’s £20 extra to N.I and islands , so I’ve discovered so you’ll need to cover that. Thanks.) It’ll be double boxed (Sire Marcus Miller inner box )and padded well. Thanks for looking.

Hi everybody. This Fender American Elite Jazz V ( made 2016 ) is in excellent / V Good condition overall for an 8+ year old bass. The original owner gigged it occasionally before I bought it in July 2019. Since then it has only had limited Home use only as it competes to get played with my other basses. There’s some very slight fret wear under the D string from frets 2 to 7 , hardly visible, which I noticed when polishing the frets this week. The black gloss body gleams. One small dink near the chrome control plate , top side, and one on the back face close to the jack. Some other mini pits but please see the photos to see how minor they are. The finish is not broken. Still no sun here so took the photos today in the conservatory. Hence reflections of roof panel parallel lines, moss lumps and palm leaves. I’ve also had a 4 string Elite Jazz since 2016 and will keep that, so now it’s time to let someone else have the pleasure of this superb Fiver. Fender’s top of the range, with it’s Noiseless pickups, powerful pre amp and excellent build quality. Many consider the Elite series Fenders ( 2016-2020) their best. Played it this morning. No issues whatsoever. It’s so impressive in Passive mode and truly exciting in Active mode. The bass really does look stunning and is in perfect working order. All original apart from an identical WD Music pickguard I bought. Truss rod lever, saddle key and Schaller strap Locks are included and the original Fender Tag. Both batteries read 9.36v today, so it’s ready to leap out of your cabs! Well balanced whether standing or sitting at 4.56kg 10lbs 1oz. Alder body, maple neck with gloss finish , pearloid black blocks and black binding. Delicious! 34 inch scale. 46.7mm nut. 17.5mm string spacing at saddles currently - adjustable , via the grooved saddles. Price for this much sort after and currently very rare Black/Maple stunner includes insured UK mainland delivery in the original Fender Elite Moulded hardshell case, then a large outer box. I’ve searched and can’t find another Black/ Maple Elite Jazz V so you might have to act quickly to secure this. Thank you for looking. More detail below specific to this bass. Specifications Model Name: American Elite Jazz Bass V, Maple Fingerboard, Black Model Number: 0197102706 Series: American Elite Color: Black Gloss Body Shape: Jazz Bass Body Material: Alder Body Finish: Gloss Polyurethane Neck Material: Maple reinforced with two Posiflex graphite rods Neck Shape: Compound Back Shape, Modern "C" to "D" Neck Binding: Black Scale Length: 34" (864 mm) Fingerboard Radius: 9.5"-14" Compound Radius (241 mm-355.6 mm) Number of Frets: 21 Fret Size: Medium Jumbo String Nut: Bone Nut Width: 1.875" (47.6 mm) Truss Rod Nut: Heel-Mounted Spoke Wheel Adjustment Neck Plate: 5-Bolt Asymmetrical Neck Finish: Satin Urethane with Gloss Urethane Headstock Face Fingerboard: Maple with gloss finish Position Inlays: Black Pearloid Blocks Bridge Pickup: New 4th Generation Noiseless Neck Pickup: New 4th Generation Noiseless Controls: Master Volume, Pan Pot (Pickup Selector), Treble Boost/Cut, Midrange Boost/Cut, Bass Boost/Cut, Active/Passive Mini Toggle Pickup Switching: 2-Way Mini Toggle Switch for Active/Passive Mode.

£340 without the new gig bag and D Tuner. £370 with them I’ll withdraw this next week so last few days for you to own this superb bass. Thanks for looking.

Just a heads up that I’ll take close offers to £425 now but I’ll move this on elsewhere at the end of October. A superb instrument. Tap the photos to enlarge and zoom in further on that binding ! Enjoy! Cheers. Quent.
