    Well, this piece of evil needs gone from my house! So, I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to use it to unclog a toilet, set fire to, experiment with (no questions asked) or otherwise use for hideous and evil purposes. It's a bass, it has 4 strings, it DOES NOT work as the electrics are shot. The pickups do work, the truss does work (haven't bothered doing any kind of set up so the action is currently high). It has 4 functional tuners, a reasonable bridge a body and a neck... If anyone wants to harvest parts, or stick in some cheap tronics then it might be useful. £25 collected (Basildon, Essex) or £35 posted (please note I don't have a box so it will be posted wrapped up in whatever I can find! It already doesn't work and has plenty of dings so I can't imagine it getting any more damaged in the post. 25 of your finest English pounds for this 'project'. Russ.

    I've got 7 sets of used bass strings, all are from 6 string basses so there's 42 strings in total here. All are used in varying degrees, some are perfectly useable, some are a little more 'dead'. They vary in brands from Conklin to Ernie Ball, all have been repackaged in the boxing for the new strings I replaced them with, happy to send all in one bag or boxed at the photo shows. One box has 2 sets in it hence why there's only 6 boxes! All have been cut for 3 a side basses, some 34" some 35", all with a decent amount of length left to wind around the headstock. £20 collected for all of them, £25 posted in the UK. Happy to send anywhere in the world, but postage costs might vary! Less than 50p a string here! Russ.

    Indeed they are! Although I think these are now sold pending the usual...

    Hi, Up for sale is this Hipshot Thunderbird replacement bridge, high mass and makes full contact with the body, the two anchor screws are included although one is chrome and the other is black. (Not sure why!) Asking £45 including postage. Collection from Basildon also welcome. Russ.

    Ad updated 3/8 sizing with pics.

    I would think it would be fine. If you can measure the size of the headstock hole I can measure the size of the tuner to make sure it would fit if you want.

    Hi all, Up for sale is an excellent condition set of 4 (in a line) HB6 Hipshot Ultralite tuners in matt black. Comes with screws and ferrules, ready to install! I'm after £50 (posted or collected). Price is firm as these are the best part of £30 each when new. These are 3/8 sized.

    What put me off making a firm offer is exactly as Fiatcoupe432 says. The build looks good, but the luthier used cheap Chinese hardware and electronics to finish the build, this always makes me ask the question 'What else did they cheap out on?', so for me, with it being a largely unknown builder, I had to pass. I still love the look of the bass, but who knows what you might see once it's in hand and close up. Chris, you're absolutely right with the evolution of the design over time... I have to say this bass in question by far looks like the best this luthier has built (incidentally another red flag!) Zvetano could be amazing basses, but for me, too much of a potential costly risk to find out!
  9. binky_bass
    Due to the above, and a few other reasons, I have withdrawn my offer for this bass! Too many unknown variables for me. Still, it looks very nice!
  10. binky_bass
    Very tempted, we will talk I am sure if I secure it!

    Thank Tony, I've seen that video, in fact my query relates directly to that bass. I'd like to know more about the luthier and anyone's first hand experiance in Zvetano basses before potentially making an offer on that very bass.
  12. binky_bass
    Curious to know if anyone has heard of, or better yet played, a Zvetano bass.
  13. binky_bass
    Lovely. Any trades?

    I recently purchased a Gibson Thunderbird that had been converted to fretless from Josip. The bass came with upgraded pickups, tuners and bridge as well as all the original parts plus paper work and Gibson hard case. The bass was extremely well packaged and Josip provided excellent communication throughout especially considering the tracking number seemed not to work for me! The transaction was smooth and Josip was nothing but a perfect seller! I will happily do business again with Josip. A new Basschatter, but a trustworthy one! Excellent service all round.

    If you zoom in you can see it's a wedge of maple... clearly the guy knows how to build a bass. 🤔

    The Rasta Chewbacca in the top left is the best thing my eyes have seen!

    Assuming they mashed their faeces together...

    It's the telecaster/godin shifter look that has me betwixt between liking it and loathing it! But either way, there is definitely a level of want!
