Genzler Bass Array BA10-2 Compact Bass Cabinet. Includes official Genzler cover. Dent to one of lower corners and handle has a small cut/nick but is still solid. Otherwise excellent condition. Selling as have a matching cab with Magellan 350 head and two is overkill for my small practice room. Postage or collection/inspection Orpington BR6 welcome.

Sold elsewhere, thanks.

Oh my …

Yup, at buyer’s cost and risk. Have suitable box and packing materials.

Flats now moved to my new one and rounds back on. Red silks both ends no idea what they are but now £400 and will chuck in a basic unbranded gig bag if needed. Have packaging materials to post.

I think the last two photos (of the neck pocket) are the most realistic colour representations. With the caveat that I’m colour blind so really not the best person to answer that! I will try and take some better photos. I would go by what Google has to offer but it’s more like (taken from a previous Rich Tone sale, same model but not this exact bass):

And here’s a pic of it wearing a mint green pickguard (not included) which I rather liked:

Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision - Fiesta Red - 2010 Fantastic condition. Lovely dark rosewood board. I'm being critical: there's one tiny, tiny compression mark in lacquer to back body near the strap button. Two indentations on back which haven't broken paint which look to me like finish flaws rather than dings. Very minor scrape to headstock. Should all be shown in photos. Pots were a little scratchy but I've sprayed with contact cleaner and are now fine. I'm replacing with ... the same, but in Olympic white. Currently strung with relatively new Thomastik-Infield Jazz flats JF344. Currently has Dunlop strap locks but originals included. Ideally looking for collection from Orpington BR6 or meet up within reasonable distance. Can potentially post at buyers cost and risk but currently all out of packing materials so would need to source some more first. £430 as is or £400 if I keep the flats and I'll put some rounds on (took them off the bass when I got it but no idea what they are).

I’m doing the sums but wrong time for me bass numbers and money wise. Beautiful though and I’m sure it won’t hang about.

Picked up yesterday so not had long with it. For reference I'm a relative beginner so these are just my thoughts rather than anything you should base any decision upon. Whilst I like Flea's playing and some of the RHCP back catalogue, I'm not especially fussed either way on artist signature basses for the sake of them being a signature instrument. The necks are similar, the Fender feels marginally more comfortable but I'm not sure if that's psychological as I know the specs or due to the width and radius difference. Aside from its looks, I picked up the Sterling as I wanted the versatility of the different pickup combinations and the option of a thumb rest near the neck but I found myself defaulting to the bridge pickup both for sound and thumb placement. If I only had one bass the versatility would be great but I find I pick this up when I want the stingray sound and therefore only really use that one position. There's a tonal difference in the treble, hard to describe but the Sterling is more piercing/abrasive than the Fender, that's probably the wrong word as its not better or worse, just different. Could also be down to different strings, Sterling has Sunbeams and the Fender GHS Boomers. Aesthetically I love both but I'm really digging the minimalist look of single pickup, no pick guard and three knobs with the satin shell pink finish. I'm also not aware of any other Fenders with a single Humbucker which I like as it's something a bit different, although I appreciate ultimately it's a stingray clone. So in summary, they are very similar for my purposes but too similar tonally for me to keep both. I'm favouring the Fender, probably mainly for looks because I'm shallow, although literally just picked it up so still in the honeymoon period.

Well you’re a way away but welcome to come and test out the fleet if ever passing Orpington!

Aye, it’s a beauty. The neck grain is particularly nice and the pearl finish is lovely; very subtle and doesn’t really come across in the photos. Flea second hand from eBay. Looked at getting one a while back but held off. Was actually looking for the passive road worn one but stumbled across the active, chap was close to me and was in as new condition. Seriously punchy!

Sterling by Music Man Ray34HH. Pearl white, roasted maple. 10lbs3oz / 4.6kg (on my scales). Excellent condition. Only things to note are some pick marks on scratch guard, paint finish by pickup selector switch isn't great and two very minor and small indentations (can barely be seen or felt) on back of neck behind 4th fret. There's a small "graze" by 7th fret dot marker on the neck (not fingerboard). Bought from this fine parish from @dub_junkie, original advert below. Originally purchased from Bass Direct https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Ray_34_HH_White.html Can't help buying these. This is my third but have just picked up a Flea active bass, they cover similar territory and I like that more. I've had this setup at Planet Guitar in Orpington with new DR Sunbeams 45-105 including a part fret level and dress on a couple of high frets. Up here for a couple of weeks before its goes off for a commission sale. After £700, which is what I paid for it plus some towards the new strings and setup. Can ship at buyers cost and risk but would much prefer to handover in person and happy to drive up to an hour from Orpington. Can also get it to Hendon NW4 if that's any better.
