    4 string fretless jazz

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    As mentioned in a recent previous thread, I don't think I'll be living in the UK for much longer as I've been touring a lot abroad, and if I am still "living" here I won't have a permanent base as it's not worth me paying rent...
    this is a great bass, but never gets played, so has to go.

    It's a fretless "Jazzbasstard". Alder body with the 70's bridge pickup positioning ( 1/2" closer to the bridge and ideal for a good fretless tone). The p'ups are Lindy Fralins, overwound by 5%. The bridge is a badass2 and the preamp is an ACG02 which is filter based. The controls are vol/blend, Low pass and High pass filters with their boosts on top.
    The neck, which in my opinion is the best part of the whole bass, is Warmouth with a rosewood lined fretboard. The wood here is stunning. The tuners are shaller. There is one slight ding on the back of the neck only, the rest of the bass is in great condition.
    In an ideal world, £350 gets the bass, but I'm open to offers.
    For collection/delivery, please discuss it with me, as I travel a lot and may be able to meet somewhere.
    Oh, and the colour is a metallic blue =)
    Cheers for looking

    Great looking bass at a good price - hopefully shouldn't be here too long; good luck with the sale.. BTW, Al's a great person to deal with folks, so you can deal with him with absolute confidence!

    So, how did the tour go and is the Fender Jazz 5 still treating you well (or should that be the other way round?). :)

    Hey Nik, thanks mate!! How's everything with you?
    tour was great thanks, had an amazing time in The Netherlands and can't wait to go back this summer! Gotta have a bit of a clear out before my tenancy here ends though... so... you know...

    Also, I'm open to offers guys, this has to go and I know that eBay is one hell of a lot crueller than selling stuff here, so feel free to make an offer... I won't get offended =)

    Yeah so I bought this bass new in August 2008, and now it just sits in my room...
    Just got back from a Europe tour and I'm having a quick clear out of what I don't need as I can only take so much stuff on the road with me, and I get the feeling that that's the way things are going to be for a bit... I've only been at home for 1 month this year!
    And also, I've got an amazing 1st and 2nd bass... so there's just no need in me having this one.
    Make me an offer, around the £300 mark would be nice =)
    oh, as you can see, it's used... has a bit of buckle rash on the back...
    Cheers, thanks for looking

    I take my basses to a chap called Jack Ellis up in Salford, so if you're in the Manchester area he's a possibility. He's a top guy to deal with and I've never had any problems, always documents exactly what he does and will re-adjust your bass free of charge if the set-up isn't quite right or it settles in and starts buzzing or anything... I think he's on here as "gabson" or you can get hold of him on 07706828122 - tell him I sent ya =)

    [quote name='dabootsy' post='707740' date='Jan 10 2010, 03:06 PM']I have thought about this but the MU is about 3 times more expensive than my musicguard quote[/quote]

    MU gives you £2k unspecified, so if anything goes up to that value it's covered... also get free legal advice, medical with BAPAM etc...
    That's what I have now, but I got the student rate membership..
    I had Musicguard the year before and nothing went wrong, but since I never had to claim I can't really recommend them!

    Thanks guys!
    You need to make a band "page" to have the music player I think... then you just add it when you're editing the page =)
    It's fairly straightforwards if we've managed to do it!

    Had the pleasure of meeting Nik in his home town, he's a really great guy with plenty of music and bass playing experience, and some good stories to tell too!
    Had a spot on afternoon of chatting all things music and not, and playing some great basses that Nik has the good fortune of owning... and I could not be happier with the swap that we did. I think I have found my life partner in a bass! Anyways, it was more than worth the journey, and I can't thank you enough Nik... You're definitely a guy that's got it right in terms of music, bass playing and philosophy!
    Cheers, keep on doing what you do!

    [quote name='absentmindeduk' post='630190' date='Oct 19 2009, 11:18 AM']Hi, I'd be interested in the 102P cab.
    I don't have £375 in cash though. :)

    I have a US Made Ampeg SVT 410HE if a swap would be of interest?[/quote]


    Sorry mate, I need the cash on this one.
    The only thing I'd be interested in a part-ex with is a Phil Jones Briefcase.

    MARKBASS GEAR

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by alansanderson

    Hey guys, I've got my Markbass rig up for grabs here. Special Edition Little Mark 2 head, traveller 102P cab. I'm including the fitted flight case for the head shown in the pictures, the speakon lead and the power lead, naturally =)
    I'm not going to include a description of this gear here. You play bass, you know what these are.
    Neither item has been gigged. They have had bedroom use only and the head has had some studio use. The head is in absolutely immaculate, as new condition and was made in September 2008.
    The Cab is also immaculate, and has some scuffs and marks on the corner protectors ONLY. As I said, I have never gigged these so the volume has not been about 3. I bought them from new last year to have a spare/portable rig, but I just can't justify keeping them as I have a full EA rig, and I don't need this kind of power or quality in my practice amp; my Peavey Microbass is more than good enough.
    Anyways, enough of the waffle, here's the low down.

    £380 for the head, case and leads, £390 delivered.
    £375 for the cab. Prefer collection here, delivery negotiable.
    £750 delivered the lot.

    Cheers
    Al

    Peavey Zephyr thru neck 4

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    This solid bass guitar is my first ever bass, and although Peavey have continued to produce great budget basses they just don't make them like this any more. I have had this bass from new 8 years ago, and never had any trouble with it whatsoever. It's been made really well and oozes quality much beyond the price tag. It features 2 passive humbuckers and a through-neck. All the joins in the wood are really smooth, and the neck feels and plays great. The fretboard is pao-ferro.
    It has been gigged and used extensively, I went to college to do music and used this as my main bass, but the amount of use it has had just goes to show the robustness and great construction of this bass. There are, naturally, some surface marks such as buckle rash and the odd dint or two, but as you can see in the photos nothing major.
    The bass has some new-ish elixir nanoweb strings on it and these still sound great. The scale length is 34". All the hardware is great, and the bridge is nice and solid. To be frank, I can't believe that you can get a bass of this standard for this price. They are fairly rare, so grab yourself a bargain. £150 plus delivery, gig bag included. If you want to collect, I'm in Manchester
    Cheers
    Al
