Recently picked up a P bass from @Descendent which I’m having lots of fun with - it’s taking some adjustment as I’ve played active 5 string basses for years. Here’s a little clip I recorded earlier today 🙃

That's a beauty

Bump for a killer bass - I have the same with a rosewood fingerboard. Phenomenal value compared to its rivals - I'm surprised I don't see more them being played.

Lovely! Are you open to any trade options?

USA built 2001 Sterling (not to be confused with the Sterling sub-brand) in Blue Pearl with a bit of natural mojo/relicing to the finish, so not a mint example by any means but really nicely played in with a great feel - as a player I prefer this to a similar one I sold recently which was in much better condition cosmetically.

Fitted with a fresh set of Rotosound round wounds. No case.

Open for a cash sale or a trade with some 4 string and passive of a similar - ideally a P but maybe a J. What have you got?

Thanks,

Jon

Thanks @Killerfridge - just 2.5hrs to go, eek!

Thanks @lamp

Just under 24 hours to go for anybody else that might be interested 🙂

Heads up for anybody who is still interested - the bass is on eBay and has had a bid so I’ll let it run.

You’ll still be dealing with a forum member and you might just get yourself a bargain on the asking price 😉

Thanks guys. Looking at a couple of swap options but I'm still open to offers/ideas.

Hey buddy! It went ahead and closed!

No worries - glad you got a deal sorted :0)

@pluckedout is this still available?

Hi Ander,

I see you have a trade pending but if that doesn't work out might you be interested in a Music Man Sterling (USA)? I'm on the look out for a P and this would suit my smaller hands...

Born on the 18th August 1999 we have a beautiful Sterling 4H bass - not to be confused with the Indonesian built 'Sterling by Music Man' sub-brand, this is a beautiful USA built instrument in great condition for its 24 years with a deep metallic lustre to the paint - just a few minor dings as shown.

Neck and frets are all in great shape and it is currently slung with some pretty fresh medium gauge round wounds. Weighs in at a very manageable 3.53kg (7.8 lbs). Super easy to play with a slim jazz-bass style neck profile.

Comes with a quality hard shell case. I would prefer a meet/collection due to the value of the bass but I am also happy to ship at the buyers cost/risk.

I would possibly be interested in a swap deal with a decent P style bass - thinking a Japanese Fender or better.

Any trial welcomed.

Pirastro Flexocor Double Bass Strings

Excellent used condition. I got these new from a friend who plays classical bass - they were spares that had never been fitted to a bass.

I have used them lightly over the past year and I have realised that they aren't the right strings for me as I only play jazz and never bow. Hence I have replaced them with some Thomastik Spirocores.

These retail at over £200 and are offered in excellent condition - pick up a bargain.

£50 + postage.

** Now Sold **

Sold now - thanks all for your interest 

Purchased new and lightly used on a practice bass (Czech Ease). Incredibly easy to play - just a little too light for my needs now.

Cheapest current new price £103 (Thomann).

£45 shipped within the UK.

Thanks

I just bought an Aguilar TH350 from Dave for a bargain price which was absolutely as described, in mint condition. It was shipped at lightning speed and packaged really well. Dave was a please to deal with throughout - all credit to him!

Claimed 🙂

Also Suffolk based and keen to pick up this little box of sonic treats.

PM'd.

These are amazing. I have a 1x10 and immediately bought a 2x10 as I thought it was so good.

Lovely bass. What's the weight?

Thanks Silvia!
