    *WITHDRAWN* MIJ Fretless P Bass

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by timmchale2009

    Hi All

    I've got a rather beautiful Maya Fretless P Bass (£325 O.N.O.)

    The fretless was once property of John aka oldslapper of this here parish! It came to me in fine fettle however I decided I wanted to make it a bit more me.

    John already had a nice wiring loom installed, KiOgon also of this here parish I believe and I decided to have Matt Bascetta of House of Tone pickups customer wire me a pickup better suited to fretless. I also had Matt set the bass up, file the string channels on the nut down to play a little smoother with heavier flatwound strings, I also had him install all the gold hardware that you can see on it... It's a significant improvement on what was stock on there and I think it suits the era of the bass much better, however I have kept all the original parts, so if you so desire to put it back to how it was, you can.

    I'm sure John will echo my enthusiasm for just how good this bass really is. As you can see it's a maple boarded fretless neck, finished in a 3 tone sunburst and it's a solid wood body, I'm not sure what the wood is (maybe John can enlighten us?). Of course as this bass is older than me, I believe MIJ late 70's, it's picked up a few dings and scrapes along the way, however nothing that effects playability or overall sound. I have tried to include these in the pictures below. Weight... light... exact weight I haven't got scales and nor do I currently have access to any at present so please bare with me.

    For the benefit of those who are looking at this on mobile... I am based in Saltney just outside of Chester.

    I would prefer to transact face to face just to ensure all are happy... However, I am happy to arrange a courier at no additional cost to you!

    I am always open to negotiate on these things, so please don't hesitate to contact me.

    Regards

    Hi All.
    Mrs Mac has placed rules on my purchasing of guitars, one in, one out. As I've got a Tele Deluxe on the way in, this has to go.
    This truly is a Gorgeous guitar that sounds as good acoustically as anyone could want and plugged in, just as good it has a Guild under bridge fitted pickup and preamp with tone and volume subtly placed in the sound hole.
    It has a solid spruce top with lovely solid mahogany for both back and sides, a one piece mahogany neck, bone nut and saddle, mahogany bindings, nice chrome Grovers, sunburst paint job and a flawless gloss finish. For me as far as acoustic guitars go at this price range they don't get much better looking, playing and I am not sure if they are ever better built. It will come with the nice Guild 'tweed' hard case.
    This is from the earlier, better quality, range and is no longer available as far as I know. In as new condition and hardly played, it has a 43mm nut width and It has just had new strings fitted, Martin bronze 12's.
    All in all a beautiful quality guitar for very little money.
    You will love it!
    I'm based in Saltney which is just outside of Chester.
    Any questions go ahead and ask or please feel free to make me an offer.
    Thanks
    Tim

    Hi Tim!

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]If you decide to split I'd take the cab at a sensible price right away.[/font][/color]
    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I just bought one from Xavier (spector44) and it would be a great advantage to have an identical one and go down to 2 ohm on my Peavey Nitrobass.[/font][/color]

    [font=inherit][font=inherit]Hi All[/font][/font]

    [font=inherit][font=inherit]I absolutely adore this cab[/font][/font][font=inherit], sounds awesome, versatile and just deliciously brilliant. It's in nigh on showroom condition and has got a fitted cover.[/font]

    [font=inherit][font=inherit]So if so perfect... why get rid? It's got the ultimate problem for me... A distinct lack of Portability! Don't get me wrong compared to my old Ampeg setup, this is a proper walk in the park and for it's size and stature it's reasonably portable. However, I have a long term back injury and for me however this isn't going to work out (it's one of those it's not you it's me scenarios haha)![/font][/font]

    [font=inherit][font=inherit]The ideal scenario is I want to trade this for something considerably more portable and with that in mind I would ideally like it to go as the complete setup as everything compliments each other perfectly![/font][/font]

    [font=inherit][font=inherit]So if anyone has one of the following setups or similar for trade hit me up...[/font][/font]

    [font=inherit][font=inherit]Any questions please do not hesitate to ask.[/font][/font]

    Please note that the Head has now sold.

    [font=inherit][font=inherit]I look forward to hearing from you![/font][/font]

    FT: Guild Starfire V (w/OHSC and significant upgrade)

    Hi All

    This is an absolutely stunning guitar, beautifully constructed, sounds amazing and plays like a dream. The Guild bigsby is beautiful and just adds a bit more versatility.

    It comes with the Guild hard case and all case candy. I've done a few upgrades just to make this guitar even more special. I've had Hipshot Griplock locking tuners fitted, beauty of these is they come with UMC plate and this means that it's not had to be re-screwed. The tune-o-matic bridge imho wasn't perfect with the Bigsby so I've had a Vanson roller bridge fitted to make it work much better. Original parts will be included.

    I've Just had it setup to play like an absolute demon by Matt Bascetta of House of Tone. Just to note it has 2 cracks in the lacquer, these are not deep and they are not deep. Matt confirmed that this is not structural, it doesn't go with the grain and does not affect playability. I'm based just outside of Chester.

    I would like to trade this for a Fender Jazzmaster TVL Signature or a Sunburst, Burgundy Mist or Olympic White (or an interesting none regular colour) MIJ/CIJ/Classic Player, a 72 Telecaster Deluxe (Walnut/Black) or a 72 Thinline Tele.

    Thanks for looking.

    Tim

    Hi All

    KiOgon of this here parish has built me a concentric control plate and Matt Bascetta has just done me a pair of custom wound House Of Tone House specials for my 2002 60's Mexican Jazz Bass Reissue.

    So the stock pickups and stock control plate are now up for grabs... There's absolutely nothing wrong with these pickups or control plate, fully functional and it they sound pretty goddamn sweet tbf.

    I would like £40 for the whole lot and that includes postage.

    Any questions please drop me a line.

    Regards

    SOLD: EBMM Stingray SR4 Black, Black, Rosewood, East Preamp, SD Pickup £600

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by timmchale2009

    Good Day All.

    So I'm putting up my 14 year old Stingray, sublime player, sounds awesome and is a real head turner.

    This started life as a SR4 black, matching headstock and black guard... However I've changed over a few things to get the absolute most out of this bass...

    I've replaced the stock preamp (this will be supplied) with a John East MMSR 3 band which just retrofits in, I won't bore you all with the details of what this does as I'm sure you all know what it does. I've put a Seymour Duncan SMB4D, original will be supplied, this really opens up the tone and works seamlessly with the east preamp and replaced the stock guard out with a grey pearloid guard, simply because it looks funkier. I've also swapped the tuner for a hipshot bass X-tender again for the simplicity of providing versatility.

    Now... If you're looking for an absolute pristine, unmarked bass... Then stop reading now. However if you're looking for a well loved, solid, awesome playing & sounding bass then this could well be the one for you, and at a considerable snip in comparison to the new list price and certainly superior in quality to it's SBMM brothers, I have tried my level best to get photos in with any dings, scuffs, chips or the like in. I've also take a sot of the heal where the paint has come away, this was like this when I got the bass but I've ensured that it can't go any further. It doesn't effect playability at all. Currently set up with La Bella Deep Talkin' bass strings, Weighs circa 4kgs or 8.8lbs (can be more accurate of required) in imperial. So not massive heavy, but not stupidly featherweight but sits nicely and is really well balanced IMHO. The nut width is 42.5mm. Comes with a a hard case which keeps the bass as it should.

    So... The nitty gritty... I am truly loathed to sell this but, something has come up that I simply cannot refuse and something of course has to give. So taking into account overall condition but also significant upgrades (east cost over £150 on it's own) I would like £600 shipped & insured or alternatively you can come to Chez McHale have a coffee and be shouted at repeatedly by my Bedlington Terrier, Winston, for the princely sum of £575

    Any questions please ask away.

    Regards

    Tim
