Up for sale my Cort GB Modern 5-string, pretty much mint condition (a few playing marks here & there but you’d really have to look) and as factory. This really is a superb bass & sounds like it’s worth much more, I think, than the list (RRP) price of around £1,000. But there are some good bargains to be had around UK music shops, hence the very low asking price for this, although you'd hardly tell the difference between this & new. Spec-wise it's as I would have asked for if I got someone to make a bass for me - Nordstrand pickups, Babicz FCH bridge, 35" scale, roasted maple neck, active/passive pull/push knob, Hipshot ultralight tuners, etc. Because of these top-end features you can get just about any sound you want out of this, and the low B is very tight & useable. It looks beautiful, both naturally & on stage. Currently strung with D’Addario half wounds (they suit the current band I’m in) but it benefits from rounds to get the best sound out of it. I've only had this for a few months, bought new from Bass Direct, but I'm moving house shortly so need the money! Very light at 8.5 lb. Includes the rather nice Cort gig bag, quality piece of kit! Pick up from Bath, or I'm often up in Hertfordshire & am willing to deliver anywhere between the two, and as I like driving I'll deliver within 100 miles of Bath for free. I won't post unless I have absolutely no option, & I won't send overseas.

PRICE DROP TO £250 Here’s my (quite rare nowadays, I think) Orange “Smartpower” SP212 isobaric, ported bass cab. 8 Ohms, 600W 2x12 speakers, mounted one behind the other to create a powerful cab capable of filling most rooms! 1/4” & speakon connectors. It comes with the pictured flightcase, which although bulky makes transporting very easy. Weight (according to Orange) 17.3 kg (without flightcase). In good condition with no issues; sounds great. Only selling as I’m back to my TC Electronic cabs & don’t use this at all. Pick up from Bath (you're welcome to come & try it), or I'm often up in Hertfordshire & am willing to deliver anywhere between the two, and as I like driving I'll deliver within 100 miles of Bath for free. I’m in RAF Wittering near Peterborough on Wednesday 30th July and in Thetford this Friday 1st August if that’s good for anyone. This isn’t really postable due to the size & weight. I can take more pics & answer any questions you might have.

I’ll DM you. @reggieboomboom, I have something you may be interested in.

Thanks, Gary. I'll have a think.

I'm SOOO tempted by this! Sorry for the daft question, @gary mac, but does the neck have side markers and if so where are they placed? ie on the note or between the "frets"?

*** PRICE DROP £1,100 *** Hello, all. Here we have a virtually new Fender American Professional II Precision V. Lovely bass, excellent condition (can't find a mark on it). I very recently bought this new from GAK, but an unexpected change in circumstances means I'm reluctantly moving it on. You can look these up online, and this really is pretty much as you'd find it new out of the box, with perhaps very small signs of having been played but absolutely no dents, chips, dings or marks of any kind. I've lowered the action to personal taste, but that's all. Everything works perfectly as it should. It comes with the original hard case & all case candy. Pick up from Bath (you're welcome to come & try it), or I'm often up in Hertfordshire & am willing to deliver anywhere between the two, and as I like driving I'll deliver within 100 miles of Bath for free. I won't post unless I have absolutely no option, & I won't send overseas.

Hello, all. Here we have a Spector NS Pulse 5 in Cinder Red. Lovely bass, excellent condition (can't find a mark on it). I recently traded another bass for this and although it's superb, it doesn't really fit with my style of playing so I'm moving it on. So - swamp ash body, bolt on roasted maple neck, macassar ebony fingerboard, what's not to like?! It sounds immense & superb, able to cut through any mix. 35" scale so the low B is pretty tight. New strings fitted (Ernie Ball cobalts (45-100), with a D'Addario 120 B string, new battery. Pick up from Bath, or I'm often up in Hertfordshire & am willing to deliver anywhere between the two, and as I like driving I'll deliver within 100 miles of Bath for free. I won't post unless I have absolutely no option, & I won't send overseas.

Up for sale my Cort GB Modern 5-string, pretty much mint condition and as factory except for the addition of Schaller straplocks. This really is a superb bass & worth much more, I think, than the list (RRP) price of around £1,200. But there are some good bargains to be have around UK music shops, hence the very low asking price for this, although you'd not tell the difference between this & new. Spec-wise it's as I would have asked for if I got someone to make a bass for me - Nordstrand pickups, Babicz FCH bridge, 35" scale, roasted maple neck, active/passive pull/push knob, Hipshot ultralight tuners, etc. Because of these top-end features you can get just about any sound you want out of this, and the low B is very tight & useable. It looks beautiful, both naturally & on stage. I've only had this for a few months, bought new from Bass Direct, but I'm going for a Fender Precision 5'er - Precisions seem to suit me better than jazz-style basses & I really should have learned by now. Very light at 8.5 lb. Pick up from Bath, or I'm often up in Hertfordshire & am willing to deliver anywhere between the two, and as I like driving I'll deliver within 100 miles of Bath for free.

Up for sale my Letts 5-string fretless. Currently strung with D'Addario nylon wound strings, it's a lovely bass, a delight to play. I only need one fretless & my Carvin wins! Comes with Schaller straplocks fitted. I really know very little about Letts basses, so I have no idea of the model, etc, but from the web it looks like a custom 5, perhaps someone could enlighten us? Very smooth to play, I think it's quite light, very sorry to see it go but needs must!

Here for sale my Fender Troy Sanders signature Precision. As stock except for added Schaller straplocks & Babicz FCH bridge, which I can swap back to the original if required. There's a lot about this bass on the web, but it's an excellent bass for all genres, not just metal (I've used it in everything from rock to country!). Looks superb on stage (always gets comments), great sounds either passive (flick of a switch) or with the 18V active circuit. I have the action low, but the truss rod works fine so you can adjust to your liking. No cosmetic issues that I can see, it's just about mint. Very comfortable neck, satin finish which makes it easy to move around. No case, etc. Pick up from Bath, or I'm often up in Hertfordshire & am willing to deliver anywhere between the two, and as I like driving I'll deliver within 100 miles of Bath for free.

Hey - up for sale my Orange Terror Bass Mk 2 500W bass head, with Orange carry case. Cosmetically in excellent condition, can't see a mark on it as it's never been gigged or taken out of the house. HOWEVER, the amp is not in great working order. The gain & volume pots are very scratchy (no idea why); you can get a good sound out of it, so it all works fine, but if you try to alter gain or volume, it can scratch out & produce a very poor sound. I'm sure that a good service will remedy this completely, and the price is low to reflect this. I would get this done myself but someone more electronically minded might be better at it! If, if you buy it, you find that it can't be fixed, I'll give you your money back, but I think it's unlikely to be beyond repair. Collection from or I'll deliver close to Bath, but I'm often up Stevenage way so can deliver anywhere on the way (M4, M25 west side, Herts, etc). Let me know if you have any questions.

By the way, I have one I can sell you - £800 ono. Let me know if you're interested! Pete

It's a great bass for the price, I've found. Great bass & treble response, lovely matt neck, looks great & gets comments! The only very slight gripe I have about it is that the frequency response of the preamp is less wide than I'd like - that is, you can't boost or cut as much as I'd like. But as the core sound is so good this is a very minor gripe.
