I would be interested in this but you’re a bit out of my budget, unfortunately. 
I do have a couple of basses I would be willing to part with if you’re interested in anything as a part exchange. 

Hi Donny. I’m afraid I’m not looking to trade. I really need a sale. Will consider close offers though.

What a stunning bass.  I wish I was right handed!

GLWTS

I’m left handed! I play air bass left handed but actual bass right handed. I wouldn’t know where to start with a left handed bass!

Price dropped to £1950 🎸

BC gang, thanks for all your comments, reactions and offers. Now sold to the lovely man from Scotland!

This bass was finished in November 2004 and is in excellent condition. It has the 10/90 neck with the most beautiful flame maple. The neck is the thinnest I have ever played and fretwork is excellent. The body has an ash core with really thick flame maple caps, front and back. Bass is all original with no issues. Kahler bridge, Schaller machine heads and Benedetti single coil pickups, Vigier 18v preamp. It comes in a semi-hard Gear4Music shaped case which is in excellent condition, and really good quality for a budget case. Weight is 3.7kgs
 

Reluctantly selling my Aria Pro II SB1000 from 1981. It’s in excellent condition for a 44 year old bass. All original with original full sizes case. 

Ash body, walnut finish, original electronics with no issues.

Maple neck with ebony fretboard.  Small ding on top side of neck at 11th fret (pictured). Currently strung with DR Black Beauties. 

Original case shows signs of wear and is serviceable, but I wouldn’t use it for day to day gigging.

Weight - 5kgs. It’s heavy. But if you wear it high, in the 80s position as originally intended, the weight is not an issue!

Reluctantly selling my 1997 Alembic Rogue. Very good condition, and all original save for some copper foil pickup screening work that was done by Martin at The Bass Gallery. Mahogany body with flame maple top. Maple through neck and ebony fretboard. Neck and fretwork are excellent. Body bears a small amount of player wear but this blends in nicely with the oil finish of the wood. It comes with a Kinsmann semi-hard case which is in very good condition

Weight - 4kgs

Thanks for looking!

Unused, unopened and no longer required. 
 

CBG-5n case is sold. Price drop for B6 - now £240

KK Baby bass for sale. I believe it’s a Traditional model. 
 

A previous owner had installed a neck pickup on it, and bodged the rewire when removing it so it didn’t work when I bought it. I had Kris Kedizor replace the piezo pickup, electrics and bridge, returning the instrument to its original spec. Original gigbag which is in very good condition included. 
 

I’m selling my Zoom B6 in very good condition. The BTA-1 bluetooth adapter is unopened and unused, and the Zoom CBG-5n case is also unused. The CBG-5n case is actually for a guitar multi effects unit, but the B6 fits in it very well. 
 

The B6 comes with its original power adapter and box.

Withdrawn from The Gallery and now back for sale on BC!

I have the Mark 1. It's the best preamp and the best DI I've ever owned. It's so good I also bought a BiX for my small, travel light pedal board. GLWTS!

Ok thanks. Maybe I'll try to swing by BG and try it out. Saves you some hassle. I do need to try as I've never seen one of these. I currently have a sterling hh.

Nice. Let me, and all of us know your thoughts. I think it's very versatile. Huge sound and incredibly hot output from the massive humbuckers and 18v preamp. It's a room shaker if you go overboard on the bass boost!

Wow that's lovely and very unusual. Wow I just followed the link that's a hefty commission! Can you still sell this privately now or does it have to be via BG?

Hi, I'm happy to sell it privately. BG have had it for a number of months. I'll just need to go up to the BG and collect it.

Oh wow, that's a stunner! What's the nut width on that? - feel like I need to add that as my profile tag. 

It’s currently at The Bass Gallery in Camden, who are selling it on commission for me. They measure the nut width at 41mm and bridge spacing at 19mm. The neck is slimmer than a regular Stingray. Not quite Jazz bass, but heading that way. It’s a comfortable neck to play. 
 

Here’s the link for the bass at The Gallery:

Hi all,

I got the same bass but PCB board/pot was failure (Seems oxidization) , so many noise now. I need to change my pre-amp, and the PCB board, any suggestion on it?
 

I had a pickup issue on another Musicman I used to own. I got a replacement pickup via the repair shop that sorted and installed it for me. Though I believe it is quite difficult to get spare parts out of Musicman, it is possible. Contact the Musicman distributor in your area first and ask their advice. 

This for sale post ought to be pinned. So pretty.

Wow, that is absolutely stunning, I can't imagine what would bring you to part with it!

I wish I didn’t need to. I’ve had to go private on some medical treatment for my daughter, that isn’t covered on the NHS. So need to raise some funds 😔

I've got a 4HH Reflex that's basically the same as this just painted a solid colour and it's a very very good-sounding bass.

 

These models  were essentially a hybrid of elements of various EBMM basses put together to create a unique design with an equally unique tone. It's a Bongo preamp, and if I recall correctly the pickups are ceramic like the Sterling but wound on Stingray bobbins. That combination along with the pickup switching, active/passive control and mahogany tone block give these basses their own sound, and it's really powerful.

 

The rear pickup is in the Stingray position and can do a really good facsimile of that sound, by the way, as well as a lot more besides. Always a good option to have.😊

 

Thanks Misdee. Thanks for sharing this info. Worth mentioning that it’s an 18v preamp requiring 2 batteries. I’ve seen Reflex models with a single 9v. 
 

I share your opinions on its sounds and pickup options. My favourite is coil 2&3 in “jazz bass” mode. Just lovely ☺️

Isn't this the Reflex model? I played one at the LBGS and was very impressed. Nolonger in production IIRC. 

 

Expect this to fly...

Thanks. I don’t think this is quite the Reflex model but they do resemble each other. I think the switching is different between the two models. Not sure about the preamp. The preamp on this gets massive very quickly!

I’ve attached a PDF in the post showing all the pickup switching options. 

For sale is my Musicman 25th Anniversary 4 string bass with dual humbuckers. It’s in excellent condition with just a few very minor wear marks in the usual playing areas. Ash body with mahogany tone block, quilted maple top in Venetian redburst, cream binding, maple neck with satin finish, rosewood fretboard, matching headstock. Frets are in excellent condition and have been finished flawlessly. The preamp and pickup switching options give this bass a huge palette of tones. Neck is a C shape with a 41mm compensated nut. Weight is 4.4kg and the bass comes in its original Musicman 25th Anniversary case, with cleaning cloth and warranty card.

Collection preferred from my home in South London, but can post at cost. Thanks for looking. Please ask if you have any questions.

Are these the standard ones or overwound mate? 

There’s nothing to say they are overwound on the box so I’d say these are standard. I’ve tried to find my original order to confirm, but that’s long lost unfortunately. I would’ve bought these for vintage tone so again, probably standard. 

Lindy Fralin Precision bass pickup. Unused. I can’t remember why I bought this. I think I bought it to try in a MIJ Precision but never got round to it, and I know longer own the bass 😔

£95 posted. Thanks for looking.
