Now sold and on its way to new owner. Thanks again for all the interest and positive feedback.

Thanks for all the positive feedback and huge amount of interest. Just to confirm I have my P bass sorted so not looking for any trades. i also have robust box and packing materials ready for shipping and should be able to ship within 1-2 days max. Thanks again Basschatters!

Up for sale is my 2013 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Classic 4-string in Vintage Sunburst with a stunning AAA flamed / birdseye maple neck. This is one of the nicest figured Classic necks I’ve seen and the figuring runs all the way up the neck and headstock. Music Man confirmed the spec via their database (see screenshot) I’d conservatively describe as excellent but most people would use mint condition with only home practise use. No gigs, no marks, no issues. It plays beautifully, set up low with no buzz. Comes with some nice extras: Hipshot D-Tuner professionally fitted Original Music Man tuner included in the case Both black and white pickguards Original Music Man hard case Case candy (strap locks, keys etc) Specs 2-EQ Classic preamp Classic mute bridge in perfect working order Chrome hardware Weight: 4.5kg / 9.9 lbs These 2010–2014 Classics are becoming increasingly sought after, especially the ones with premium neck figuring. Prices are rising, and very few clean UK examples come up with this level of figuring. Only selling because I’m downsizing and moving to a Precision for home practice. Price £2,395. Folk are listing these with meh necks, damage and scratches and no extras like Hipshots and extra scratch plates on Reverb for more than this. Dealers would be way above this for a similar example. Open to sensible offers. Bass is located in Central Scotland handy for all major motorway networks, happy to meet within reasonable distance (I have rendezvoused with fellow Basschatters in the North of England before). Happy to discuss shipping with buyer, would prefer to remain within UK at this stage. Feedback I have excellent feedback on Basschat from many years on here, my latest deal being for my 78 Tony Franklin fretless with Beedster the forum legend who was delighted, so buy with confidence. Cheers.

Sorry, can’t take the credit, I bought it from forum ledge @ead in a very smooth transaction at Carlisle train station…

Just sold and en route to a well established Basschatter. Thanks for all the interest folks. Cheers.

Reluctant sale owing to post Christmas finances and change in family circumstances is this incredible fretless Precision. Calling it a bitsa does it a massive disservice given quality of components. Consists of a 1978 ash Fender Precision body, beautifully aged/mojoed with almost satin patina with only a small amount of tiny surface marks just above the P pickup (pictured). Tony Franklin fretless P neck with ultra comfy B neck nut width, undoubtedly the finest fretless neck I’ve played, fitted with a Hipshot detuner. Finished off with an EMG passive Geezer PJ set with VVT control configuration so you can fine tune the blend to a much greater extent than a standard Tony Franklin. Comes with a serviceable, non-branded hard case. £925 shipped in UK, which is way less than the sum of its parts. I don’t want to part out. Bass is south of Glasgow in Central Scotland, handy for all major motorway networks. Please feel free to check my feedback from my 17 years on here. Cheers.

As an ex-Limelight owner, can confirm the pickups are hand wound by Mark at Limelight and are excellent, probably the most versatile in terms of tonal variation (in conjunction with the tone control) I’ve ever had in a P bass. I can also highly recommend dealing with @ead - had a brilliant experience buying (oddly enough) a PJ fretless from him a couple of years back which I still have, great guy to deal with and very flexible and friendly with meet up and handover.

Wow, fabulous original 70s P, instant Dee Dee Ramone or Paul Simonon. GLWTS.
