  1. Selling a spare Fender Precision 13 holes 3-ply (white/black/white) as I swapped it with a black one. This is the pickguard that was originally mounted on my American Standard P, it has the hole for easier access to truss-rod £30 delivered or collection in London for £25
  2. Back up for trade only, in case anyone owns at Thumb and would like to add a string to it...
  3. I had one in Firemist Silver, sold it on here a while ago. Great colour and very comfortable neck, I really liked the stack knobs giving you control on the volumes and tones of each pick-up. I sold it cause I am mainly playing Precisions now and I found the tone to be a bit thin compared to the P. Maybe @walplayer can tell you if it's done well for him
  4. Wow I'm not quite there yet! This is definitely taking the vintage tone while the American Standard will wear the bright and punchy hat, just need to transfer the LaBella on the Limelight and put roundwounds on the Fender. The charcoal grey one was on sale here just last week right?
  5. 4 months later, I can close the loop and thank everyone who chipped in with advice! Mark just sent the infamous wooden floor shots and all being well I’ll get to play this beauty this week.
  6. on a more serious note, we used this one for our wedding, we both found it right
  7. Yes, tried that initially but it doesn’t slide past the thicker bit. I can try to ram it through and force it perhaps
  8. Hi! I recently bought a set of D’Addario NYXL 45-130 for my 5 strings. The strings sound great but seem to be quite thick right from the ball end, at least compared to the previous sets I’ve used. They even get a touch thicker at the end, while I’d expect them to taper down. The B string in particular doesn’t quite get in the bridge slot. I really don’t want to go down the route of filing the bridge down or anything like that but am getting the impression that the tuning on that string is not as stable as on the others. Am I imagining things? If not, has anyone found a way to fix the issue other than get other strings or file the bridge? I’m relatively new to 5s so haven’t come across the issue before. Thanks in advance for any advice, including the one to stick to 4 strings as that’s all I need anyway 😁
  9. I bought a pedal from Matt. Very smooth communication and flexible delivery. The pedal itself is practically new, clearly very well taken care of and exactly as described. Deal with confidence!
  10. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  11. I have a Warwick NT5. The neck dive and weight are issues, but I don't find them severe enough to sell my bass (even though I would probably trade it for an equivalent 4 strings). I have strap locks and a neoprene comfort strap and that does it for me. Prices I've seen here and elsewhere for similar basses range between £1,500 and £1,800 so £940 is a good price. I think it's more an issue with BO than NT, but make sure the neck is not warped, it can happen with Warwick,
  12. The bass I was watching has now sold so I’m keeping this one after all.
  13. I am giving this another try, as much as I love this bass I prefer the strings spacing of my 4 strings and I don't use the B as much as I used to. I can sell outright or trade it with a Thumb NT4. This bass is from 2000, full specs below. In case of trade, open to cash either way depending on the year, condition etc Collection or meeting within reasonable distance, or I can ship at buyer's cost. GBP 1,600 or EUR 1,900 **I currently live in Paris, so can ship within the EU. **I also travel to London regularly, normally once a month, happy to take the bass with me for a possible UK sale. Specs from Warwick below, I upgraded the nut to a brass JAN3 and installed Schaller strap locks.

  14. Pete just bought my Jazz Bass, he’s a great guy to deal with. Communication was smooth and to the point, he paid right away even if I needed a couple of days to sort out the shipping and was generally a very nice transaction.
  15. Selling my Ashdown Tourbus 15w amp. It’s a good small amp for home practice but I am moving abroad and it’s easier to replace it than to move it and rewire it. Collection preferred but I can also ship it if you bear with me while I check the cost and get hold of packaging.
  16. Line6 Relay G50, essentially new. I bought it from Andertons in 2020 and never got to use it outside the house given restrictions. I am now moving abroad and want to reduce a bit the rig and particularly whatever would need to be adapted to other plugs. Price is £175 collected, it should be between 180 and 185 shipped (I can get an exact quote if needed). Price dropped to £150 collected or £160 shipped. Any question, let me know
  17. I am selling my Fender Jazz Bass as I need to make space for a Limelight. It's a Mexican 60th Anniversary Mexican model, with stack knobs and matching headstock. It comes with Fender hard case and case candy. They call the colour firemist silver, it's not really silver but go figure. It currently wears Fender flatwounds that I think suit the bass pretty well. Official specs below. I have added a thumb rest, headstock strap lock and ashtrays but it's otherwise in mint condition, which in this case means all the dings, bumps and scratches were there from the start. Price is £850, I prefer collection but happy to ship it at additional cost in its hard case, I just need to get a cardboard box.

  18. Patrick bought my two bass stands last week, great communication and it was a pleasure to deal with him. Thanks!
  19. I now get 273 pages of results again! Good for the website, not for my wallet 😅
  20. Oh ok, I'll give it some time, perhaps it's just me
  21. Yup I do use the advanced search options, I just seem to only pull results created / updated from Friday onwards
