Love this. What's the weight please.

 

My digital scales are showing 10lbs with both batteries (it may be a smidge under as they only do .2 increments and it flicks between 9.8 and 10).

Hi there! - is this passive AND active or all active thanks !

Yup, Sadowsky pre so both. Push/pull active/passive preamp bypass. 

The clear-out continues ...

Excellent condition, two very, very small marks on back of body, one which I can't even photograph. Other than that it's pretty immaculate. Would benefit from some cavity shielding, much like every active Fender I've had. No gig bag but have suitable packaging materials for shipping.

9lbs, 10oz. It's much more of a yellow than other vintage white Yamaha's I've had (I'm colour blind so take that as you will).

 

It's a lovely, lovely bass with one of the nicest neck profiles I think I've played but I've had GAS relapse and need to avoid divorce.

I will take some pics over the next few days.

Slightly odd question, but what’s the neck width at 24th fret?

78.5mm, with a metal rule as no callipers.

Wow! String spacing?

19mm at bridge. 

Mine arrived today after some faff with UPS. Fit and finish is very good, including frets. It's going straight back though as it's 10lbs which is a shame.

 

 

 

 

 

I bought this used from Bass Direct earlier in the year. I absolutely love the looks and weight but the neck is just a little too unwieldy for me. 

 

Condition wise it’s excellent. There’s one small ding on the back of the body and a few very minor, small marks which are pretty much impossible to photograph. Very little, if any fretwear. Hasn’t left the house since I’ve had it.
 

Between 8.6 and 8.8 lbs on my electronic bathroom scales (only does .2 of lb increments). 

 

No trades, don't tempt me!

Valenti V21-J4 #146

 

Got this about a year ago in a trade with @dub_junkie. Will probably regret this but I've ran out of places to hide basses so some have to go!

Sadowsky preamp with VTC control

 

Very comfortable weight - will weigh in morning and update ad.

A couple of very, very minor marks but generally excellent condition. Neck and fingerboard have had gloss taken off with some wire wool so are satin. Could probably benefit from some new strings. Battery box has some cosmetic damage. Complete with Fender hard case.

MXR M82 envelope filter. 
 

The older purple and sparkly one. 
 

Has some minor scratches on top and bottom I’ve tried to capture in last two photos, the sparkles hide it well. 

Complete with box and related candy. 
 

£90 posted mainland UK.

Yes thanks, I was looking at the white one in Peach Guitars just the other day. It's just that bit too heavy.  I'm holding out for a good example at the right weight. I think I will be lucky to find one, though.

 

 Nowadays 9.5 pounds is my cut-off point for the weight of any bass. I know from experience if it weighs more than that I just won't want to get it out and play it. I'm getting to an age where I've got enough aches and pains without uneccessarily giving myself anymore.

Just picked up this very bass. Slightly over what I’d normally go for weight wise but it’s bloody marvellous. 

I owned this briefly; couldn’t quite get on with the filter pre but should have hung on to it. Exceptional quality and an absolute bargain at this price. 

Now available in shell pink …

For full transparency I sold this back in May (advert below) but refunded the buyer after it was taken to a luthier for a setup and frets were identified as having sprouted from the neck. I took it back with the plan of using for parts or grabbing another neck but I have no time and need the space.

Mods let me know if this needs to be in another section. Complete bass but frets will need looking at by someone with the appropriate skills. I will try and link a video showing the issues. Comes with strings but they are currently off the bass (how it came back to me).

 

Wilkinson hardware, lovely finish on body, 9.4lbs.

 

Collection from Orpington please, no gig bag etc. 

 

https://vintageguitarsrus.com/collections/vj74-75-reissued-bass/products/vintage-vj74-reissued-bass-guitar-candy-apple-red

 

Priced at £80 as it is which I believe is very reasonable, if no interest I will part out.

 

Will try getting some more photos up over the weekend.

@Happypants  I am planning to go to the South East Bass Bash in November, and will be taking 5 basses.  I live in Swanley, with my dad's house in Orpington. 

 

Might that be a way of putting the flight case back into circulation?

Apologies, should have updated the thread, I used the case of doom to post a bass to @funkle so I no longer have it.

Something Harley Benton from
Thomann if you want new. Or for £259 one of these (appreciate out of intended budget):

 

 

Sold a bass to Pete in a smooth and pain free transaction. Prompt payment and comms. Enjoy, top banana!

Precision or Jazz? Both? …

 

 

2016 Squier Vintage Modified 77 Jazz Bass - £280

 

Excellent condition. A couple of very minor marks but no dings or missing finish. No marks to back of neck. Some very fine scratch/swirl marks to lacquer which I can’t photograph.

 

Weight 9.6lbs (my electronic bathroom scales were flipping between 9.4 and 9.6)

 

No trades please, need space.

 

Inspection/collection welcome in Orpington BR6 or can post in a very substantial case at buyer’s cost and risk. Can get it to my parents’ place in Meppershall, Beds if that’s any easier.

 

 

 

Agree, afraid I’m completely ignorant of Anaconda but that is astonishingly beautiful.

Now sold on the bay of fleas. Thanks to @TheGreek for all his sales pitches!

Still have this monster if anyone is in need ….
