Happypants

Trades wise interested in a JMJ Mustang (preferably in blue) or road worn Flea Jazz if anyone is local-ish.

Traded some bits with Mike. Picked up a Katana 210 and Bacchus and dropped off my Genzler combo. Thoroughly nice chap, deal with in confidence; top banana!

2015 Aerodyne Jazz PJ - non-export, cream.

Japanese domestic model with pickguard and jack on control plate.

Aesthetically this floats my boat but spend most of my time playing sitting down and can't deal with the arm rub on the slab style body. I find the neck on this particularly nice with the profile and satin finish.

Excellent condition with some mild tarnishing of hardware. 

Comes with one of those awful Fender gigbags with no padding.

Weight is 8.4lbs. 

If I was keeping I would look to shield pickup cavity and potentially change pickups. I find the P pickup quite muddy which seems to be a common complaint in reviews.

Looking for collection from Orpington BR6 or meet up within an hour away. Have box and packaging material so can post at buyer's risk/cost. 

Recently acquired from this parish, lovely condition and weight but just not doing it for me tonally. 

2017 Sandberg VM5 Natural, black hardware. Includes Sandberg gigbag.

Excellent condition. Some play marks to pickguard and some slotting to zero fret. Rest of frets show negligible wear. I replaced strings with Ernie Ball 3836 45-130 regular slinky coated nickel rounds which have had at most 2 hours of use.

Weight is 8.6lbs on my electronic scales.

Have original shipping box. Prefer collection Orpington BR6 or meet up within a reasonable distance (up to an hour). Will ship to mainland UK at buyer's risk/cost.
 

This is the body from a 2011 Classic Vibe Precision and the neck from a 2008 CV Jazz. Both well regarded made in China models, all stock. 
 

Excellent condition, some marks to the pickguard and a super small impression on the body under the controls. Some minor tarnishing to hardware. 

I have lightly taken the gloss off the neck using some 0000 wire wool. I taped up both ends so there's a definite start/finish (like a Stingray headstock end) and it's very subtle.
 

Currently wearing 3 ply mint green pickguard from Nortwest Guitars and will also come with original black pickguard (which has playing marks) and thumb rest. Strung with Thomastik-Infield Jazz flats JF344. 

8.4lbs on my electronic scales.

No gig bag.

how you scroll through all 6 types of compression

Can't help with the other questions but to scroll through the 6 default compression effects (3 effects on 2 banks) you press the comp button to cycle through the three colours (red, green, orange) on each bank. Hold the "Panel" button on the right hand side for a second to switch between bank A/B to access the other three effects.

So, thought I needed an acoustic ....

Fantastic, as new condition.

No marks at all. Anything in photos that may look like a mark is reflection or lint.

Complete with original hard case also in excellent condition.

Have only used for about 4 hours. Bought from original owner who purchased April 2019 and didn’t use.

Collection only from Orpington BR6 or can meet a reasonable distance away. 

Just picked up another fine bass from Mick. Mint condition as described and he came all the way down to London to hand over in person. Had a good natter about basses; a real gent and fount of bass knowledge, top banana! @MM Stingray 62

Now £1100. Also happy to meet a reasonable distance away, say up to an hour ish.

Can someone award this man on his taste? Why on earth do you have all the bits I like Ian…! Ah, if only I could!

+1. Recent excessive bass splurging means I’m out, but what a fleet!

Weight on the electronic bathroom scales showing as 9lbs. 
 

Stew bought an amp and pedal off me in separate transactions. Both seamless and pain-free, enjoy!

2017 Limited Edition American Professional Jazz Bass "Exotic Wood" FMT

Complete with original hard case, certificate, tools, wallet and case candy. 

Happy to be corrected but I believe this is identical spec to a 2017 Pro I Jazz with the addition of a flamed maple top and limited to 300 units worldwide. 
 

Generally excellent used condition with no missing finish, but a few points to note (I'm being deliberately anal):

Some minor fret wear, doesn't impact playing.

A couple of minor scrapes/scratches on the neck between 2nd and 3rd frets. Very minor but can just be felt.

Some minor marks to headstock including some impressions on face which appear to be under the lacquer.
Two feint impressions to body by scratchplate. Haven't broken top coat, may even be imperfections in the wood rather than dings.

Some minor scratches on body top coat below bridge pickup which look like they are from a pick.

Some very minor tarnishing to bridge saddles.

I've tried to cover all of the above in the photos if possible, but let me know if any questions.

Any inspection welcome in Orpington BR6. Can ship mainland UK but would need to source a suitable box.

£150 posted mainland UK.

Sold elsewhere, ta. 

PJB Double Four BG-75 in white. 

Small mark/chip to front edge and very minor accompanying indent to bottom of grill (can’t really photograph) but apart from that, excellent condition.  
 

This is the newer version with the kettle lead for power. 
 

Don't have the original box but includes manual and kettle lead. 
 

£260 posted mainland UK, £250 collected.

I had a notched volume on my Ashdown RM800Evo2 and the gap was massive. Only 1 notch between too quiet and deafening so then I'd have to use the Input control as the volume, but that lowers drive levels. I sent it into Dave Green at Ashdown to replace the pot with a smooth one (which he did for free - what a star!).

 

I had seen some comments about the Orange Little Bass Thing having the same issue - Too quiet and then Too Loud in 1 notch.

I didn't know if the Terror Bass had the same system or had a good old standard smooth control.

Can't speak for the OBT but briefly had both the RM800 and LBT and agree they have similar issues with volume between the first few notches being too great (for my use at home). I never thought about changing the pots!

Sold, thanks @CJPJ commission fee in the post!

Orange Little Bass Thing. As new condition. 

Recently purchased from here as I wanted to try the compression and A/B versus my head with standalone compressor. Whilst I dig the tone (especially with the compressor) and aesthetic, the notched volume control and sheer volume of this is not going to work for my little home office; it's very loud, and with the compression cranked it's louder still! I wouldn't have any need to use the volume above the first notch and even then I needed to turn down on the bass itself.

Original advert: 

Includes original packaging, kettle lead, manual. Offered for same price I got it so £300 collected Orpington BR6 or can post mainland UK for £320.

Perri's Leathers strap in teal. Bought from Amazon July this year but never used, link here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0083EJBLY/ref=pe_27063361_487055811_TE_dp_1?th=1

Unopened, still in sealed plastic wrapper. Bought this to go with my Pelham JC which I've now moved on. There's a thread on here somewhere recommending them as a good colour match (I'm colour blind so what do I know?!)

£17 posted mainland UK.

MXR Poly Blue Octave.

As new condition including everything provided as new (box, unused power supply, unused rubber feet). I bought this new in May 22 and have only used it at home a couple of times.

£160 posted mainland UK.

Bought an amp from Karl, prompt comms and super speedy postage. As-new condition, exactly as described; top banana!

Edit: sold!

Fender American Pro II Jazz bass. Olympic white with rosewood board.

My Stingray hasn't sold and there's something on here I'm after.

Fantastic condition, no dings or dongs. Only things to note are a tiny, tiny corner check mark to the neck pocket and some excess lacquering to the bass side of the neck which goes over a little of the side of the frets and nut. Can't feel it and I'd imagine can be sorted with some wire wool.

Will get some photos up when it's light, but it's identical condition to the original advert below.

Currently strung with pretty much new Fender 7250M 45-105s.

Complete with original hard case, certificate, wallet and tools.
