Are you willing to ship?

Hi @tayste_2000 - I don't have any packing materials to hand that I'd trust just now, so was looking for a cash/collection deal on this one

Just put my yellow Newport up for sale if you're looking for one & are in the North East...

Thanks for the interest - it didn't hang around long & sold this locally. Cheers! 😁👍

Shameless plug, but just put my short scale Jetstar up for sale... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/476440-dearmond-jetstar-bass/

Putting my Dearmond / De Armond Jetstar Bass up for sale. This is the more deluxe Korean short scale model based on the Guild original & is a peach! Set mahogany neck / body with a couple of great-sounding Dearmond single coils & currently strung with La Bella Low Tension flats that really suit it. A few dings here & there (only one on the neck that I've tried to capture & never noticed it) - overall condition is good & it still has the original gig bag! Had a couple of these over the years & this has been the best one yet, but need to move it on for something incoming. Looking for £350 cash/collected from Newcastle - unfortunately can't post this one just now...

Sold Ben my beautiful Guild bass recently & it couldn't have gone smoother! Really sound guy to deal with & the transaction was a pleasure from start to finish. Enjoy the bass & glad it's gone to a good home! 😁👍

I used to have one years ago... always regret selling it.

I can relate! That may well be me after this goes... 😉

Very tempted...

It's a beaut! Don't have any sound clips of my own, but here's a decent demo... https://youtu.be/e2_mDGKn42M

Giving this a bump - I could potentially cover UK postage... 😉👍

Cheers! 😁👍

Hiya, Please let me know if you find yourself able to ship this

Hi - sorry, but I won't be able to ship this just now

Thanks @Clarky - you beat me to it! 😁👍

Cheers! 😁👍

Bumping this & now offering UK postage all in for £350. Would do it for £300 cash/collection from Newcastle if that works for you... 👍

Wonderful.

Cheers! It's a really nice bass - feels a lot more comfy than a Longhorn without really adding much weight. If I wasn't downsizing my bass space I'd hang on to it...

Think I should be able to sort postage out on this one at cost or do it for £350 collected. I've also found some side tape from Danelectro that I can throw in if you wanted to move the strap button & return the bass back to stock. Give me a shout if you're interested... 😁👍

Recently sold a Yamaha bass to Dunc & it couldn't have been smoother - great guy to transact with & wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again in the future. Enjoy the bass! 😁👍

Just done my second deal with @warwickhunt & again it was a great experience - enjoy the bass! 😁👍

@warwickhunt - great to see you earlier on. Looks very Hamer-esque without the scratchplate! 😁👍

Could be interested in trades for a short scale bass with cash either way for the right instrument...

Now sold - cheers!

It looks like a great bass with some excellent upgrades. I am not so sure about the depth of the neck, as shallow seems to work better with my arthritis. I will certainly keep it in mind for when I get some more cash together but I suspect you won’t have any trouble selling it.

Cheers! It's a very personal thing, but I found that a shorter scale with a Jazz width needs a bit more depth to feel right...

In the for sale section right now...

 

@Obrienp - I discovered medium scale as a really good compromise between sound & playability. Best way to describe it is like playing one fret up (short scale is more like two).

The custom route is expensive & when I went down that road I never found something I settled on, including a beautiful-looking Maruszczyk 32" Jake.

I'm not just saying this as I have a bass to sell, but the neck profile on this era of Yamaha basses are great - jazz width, but substantial depth at the bottom frets. Lovely!

I reckon I could do this for £200 + postage - UK only 😁👍
