[quote name='Moos3h' post='614536' date='Oct 2 2009, 09:30 AM']Morning all, sorry have not been well so have just got to this. I'm happy for the moderators to make a ruling here, but as jxl contacted with questions waiting to be answered, but bentdice is happy as is and posted to say so, then I'm not really sure who to sell to! Technically, jxl was first? Can anyone advise? Don't want to upset anyone! Cheers, James[/quote] Don't think anyone needs to get upset. It's a bit of a tricky one, but to keep things sweet I'm happy to stand aside & for you to sell it to jxl. If anyone knows of another one going (or for that matter a 4 string Status Groove Bass - been looking for one of those for ages!) then drop me a PM... Cheers, B.

I'll take it with the case & the insured postage! Will send a PM to sort out payment details if I'm the winner... Cheers, B.

One thing I missed off my original post was that I have all the original packaging for this so will do it for £140 posted Cheers, B.

Hi - bought a Danelectro 63 Long Scale bass a couple of weeks ago for a project that's not worked out & I need some space in the house, so I thought I'd move it on. Styling's definitely a love/hate thing - it's a black semi hollow ply/masonite body that has the advantage of being VERY light (great if you have a bad back) & a 24-fret neck with a very slight taper (like a Rick). It's passive, with a couple of lipstick pickups & Vol/Tone/3 way switch. I've been pretty surprised by this thing to be honest - it's basic, but with a bit of amp tweaking can go from '60s boom to Lemmy-style chordal madness. Some Dano stuff can be a bit rough straight out of the box, but I had this one set up & strung with D'Addario Chrome flats (40-100) so it's pretty comfy to play. I've only used it in the house since it arrived, so condition is pretty much as new & I'll throw in a Ritter gig bag too. The whole thing cost me just under £250 with strings/set up etc., so I was thinking somewhere around £140 would be a decent deal. Camera's out of action at the mo, so here's a stock pic: - [attachment=33678:63_bass_black.jpg] There's also a video review at [url="http://www.danguitars.com/BassGuitars.html"]http://www.danguitars.com/BassGuitars.html[/url] (scroll down near the bottom of the page).

Dropped price to £175 with the case. The action's very playable as it is and it's only a couple of notes up the top end that buzz, so at this price it's a bit of a bargain if jazzers are your thing. To be honest, I'd get it set up & keep it if I still played guitar, but I'd prefer to find it a home where it'll see a bit more use than it's getting here... Cheers, B.

Edited description & dropped price to £200...

Price dropped...

Hi - clearing out the last of my guitars as I only ever really play basses these days. Up for grabs is a Washburn J-6 archtop jazz guitar in Tobacco Sunburst. It's a pretty well constructed Gibsonesque hollowbody with a couple of humbuckers going to a 3-way switch & volume/tone for each pickup, split-block inlays, bound set neck, gold hardware & a rosewood bridge. This is one of the older Korean ones (I think it's from the mid '90s). I'm the second owner - the guy I bought it off had it from new and it was his main guitar for a while. It sounds great & there's everything you'd expect from noodling jazz on the neck pickup to trebly bite on the bridge. Looks the business too - it's the only guitar my other half has never asked me to move when it's found it's way into the living room! Here are some pics: - [attachment=31865:IMGP0912.JPG][attachment=31866:IMGP0910.JPG][attachment=31867:IMGP0913.JPG] There are a couple of things I should say about it: - - The gold plating on the bridge is a bit worn. Doesn't effect playability though - The strap holder on the top of the body works fine, but there's a bit of play on it. If I was going to gig with it I'd maybe put another one on behind the neck join or take it to be fixed. I usually sit down with it so it's not been a problem to me. - It needs a set up. It's buzzy at the top of the neck on a couple of frets on the lower strings (around the 17th fret on the bottom E/A). It's fine apart from that - I never really play up there so I'd never noticed until I decided to sell. I reckon it needs a bit of truss rod adjustment & possibly a minor fret stone to sort it out, but I'm no expert so didn't want to try & bodge it. It comes with a lined hard case. I reckon a fair price for it to a Basschatter would be £[s]200[/s]175. Would prefer a face-to-face deal if possible - I'm based in Newcastle. Cheers, B.

Sold subject to the usual - cheers!

Hi - up for grabs is my Squier '51 guitar in black with a maple neck. It's one of the few Squier models that wasn't a straight Fender copy & is a hybrid of a Strat, a 51 P Bass & a Tele, with a single coil at the neck & a humbucker at the bridge. Here are some pics: - [attachment=30726:Squier51_1.jpg] [attachment=30727:Squier51_2.jpg] [attachment=30728:Squier51_3.jpg] Although the '51 is a modders delight (see [url="http://www.instituteofnoise.com/squier51/forum/default.asp"]http://www.instituteofnoise.com/squier51/forum/default.asp[/url] for some spectacular ones!), this is all original & in very good condition. Controls are master volume/push-pull humbucker coil tap & what you'd expect to be a tone control at the back is actually a three-way switch for the pickups (neck/both/bridge). Action's pretty low & soundwise it has a pretty versatile selection of Fendery tones. I don't really play much guitar these days & I'm only selling it to fund more basses! I'm based in Newcastle & would prefer to do a face-to-face deal for £100 as there's no case, but could do a deal via post if required. Alternatively, I'm on the look out for a decent short scale bass, so would be interested in trades/part exchange too - I'd prefer a semi/hollow body shorty (e.g. Danelectro, Ibanez Artcore etc.), but will consider anything at the mo. If you're interested in a trade, give me a shout & we'll take it from there... Cheers, B.
