There is a heck of a lot to unpack there.

There are things I like in a bass that have no bearing on whether it's actually good or not.

I'm partial to binding, lollipops, matching headstock and a slim neck with a smooth satin finish. I also like a sparkle paint job, but these things are irrelevant if I don't like playing it.

You only have to look at some of the sale threads to realise that.

I sat down with a bunch of new Fender Custom Shop basses the other day. I think I tried five in the end.

The one I really liked the look of was the one I liked least in hand.

The best one didn't have binding, lollipops or flashy paint, but wow! What a bass!

Given your list of pro's and con's, there's compromises that need to be made unless you go the CS route.

 

Here are 3 of the ones I tried.

 

 

 

Where was that? Lovely selection. 👍

I had one some years back, long gone, but I distinctly remember thinking how much better it sounded that other basses I had that were twice the price…..quite fancy another, TBH.

Now sold on eBay. 😀

Amazing basses. 👍 I’ve got the Sea Foam Green (bought from BC), and it’s lush. First Jazz I’ve ever really bonded with, and use the array of tones it has. 

One more go at £295…..then eBay…..☹️

Price drop to £325…..can’t go any lower, I’ll keep it as a spare! 😄

Weeks old, as new, Rega Planar 1 Plus. 
 

If you’re getting back into vinyl, there’s no easier place to start - phono stage is already built in.

I’ve owned this, literally, a few weeks from new. Only reason I’m selling is that my burgeoning vinyl collection has meant I’ve already ordered another model! I’m smitten…..

These sound fabulous. 

It’s all as-new, will be sent in the original box with all the packaging.

These retail at £399 - only asking £325 with free UK delivery. £50 off retail as new.

Bank Transfer or PayPal ‘gift’ please.

PM with any questions, thanks for looking! SB 😀

Cab sold, so just the amp.

Been there, as I’d imagine we all have. 
 

Opportunity will knock, I’m sure at the right time to get you out again. I know I once said never, sold up, but gradually……I was tempted. First a bit at home, and then…..back on the horse! 😀

Both of my AV2’s had the holes in! 
 

Lovely bass, GLWTS. 👌😎

Sold Graham some strap locks. 
 

Superb buyer, instant payment and kept me informed. Deal with complete confidence. 👍

Made in Ensenada rather than standard Mexico now? 
 

May have been a thing for a while, I haven’t owned a MIM Fender for about 15 years, so I’m a bit out of touch! 🤓

Sold a couple of bits to Paul, aka @Shepster8316.

Amazing to deal with, instant payment and great comms. 
 

Deal with complete confidence. 👍👌
