Bought a 550... even got a £13 cable thrown in.

Thanks, that’s a great recommendation

Sorry about that!

Andertons have new TC BH800 and 550 amps for £249 and £199 respectively which seems pretty amazing. Anyone got one of these and can recommend or warn off? I’m not particularly interested in the TonePrint Just a decent amp to use with a barefaced super compact. Thanks

nice looking BB300 in Newcastle. Not mine, no connection with seller etc. https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/yamaha-bb300-bass-guitar-vintage-1985-candy-apple-red/1406770114?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms

Just bought a lovely P bass from Paul at a extremely decent price. Lovely bloke to deal with... recommend

Bought a Sansamp BDDI from Rich and it arrived quickly and just as described.

Andy very kindly sold me a Yammy bridge for my bb450 which was fitted with a non OEM part. Really appreciated.

Dog puns aside WTF? Tragedy if he’s got a BB2000 for sale and no one buys it because they’re worried it will chew the furniture

By that I mean he has several BB2000 rather than a BB2000s!

Unusual colour isn’t it. The neck pup sounds particularly good so it’s going to be the P to my 1100s J. Did you contact the seller about it as well Andy? Was a Gumtree ad. I spoke to him on the phone and it sounded like he was winding down his playing. He also mentioned “my BB2000s” which is tantalising!

This feels like the best £350 I’ve spent in a long while. BB450 in coffee burst from a guy in Tyne and Wear. Immaculate condition (has an Omega bridge not the original sadly) and with a new set of La Bella black tape wounds sounds incredible to my ears. Even got a non OEM hard case. Old BBs are just brilliant value (not that anyone here needs convincing)

Thanks for all the info. I’m going to take a look at it tomorrow. Agree that wiring channel looks odd. I suspect the owner won’t know too much about it because of the bass’s age.

thanks... stripped back look really appeals to me and seller is clearly a bass player rather than a ‘look what I found in the attic’ eBayer

Yes! What do you think?

Seen a Fernandes jazz on eBay that I love the look of. It’s a ‘stone logo’ from 79-80 apparently... know nothing about them. He’s asking £600, but open to offers. I’ll try to play it first if I can obviously but I’d be interested if anyone has any thoughts

Thanks for the replies. Under no illusion I’m buying a collectible bass just want a solid jazz with ‘that’ tone. As someone said if I’m not getting on with it in 6 months I’ll sell it on.

Yeah think it is only string through but that doesn’t worry me overmuch. It’s also got a white scratch plate which looks pants with the sunburst IMO but easily swapped out

I’ve got an opportunity to buy a US standard Jazz 1997 for £650 - £700. Sunburst, RW neck, Fender case and looks good barring a few dings in the body. Seems like a deal for a great workhorse. Any thoughts on the price or things to look out for when I get to inspect it? Thanks
