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.

34"

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. I won't post unless I have absolutely no option, & I won't send overseas.

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! 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.

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. I won't post unless I have absolutely no option, & I won't send overseas. Best, Pete

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.

Brand new Sire MM V3 passive 5-string jazz bass, black satin finish. Bought from Andertons the other day but I immediately saw a Cort that I fancied. I'm asking WAY below the new price for this (I paid £349) for a hopefully quick sale. I always take the scratchplate off my jazzes but I'll put it back on. Plays really nicely, although I've not taken it out of the house or gigged it, etc, very lively tone. I've set the action fairly low. £120 collection from Bath, offers considered, etc. I'm willing to drive to deliver; I'm on the Isle of Wight via Lymington Fri-Sun this week so could drop off anywhere close to the route.

Up for sale my immaculate ESP LTD Deluxe Phoenix-1004, bought new by me about a year ago. Selling only as I've got a Fender Precision Troy Sanders which caters for my metal needs! There really isn't a mark that I can see on this, it's just about mint apart from the additional strap button I've added on the top horn to aid balance. Sounds absolutely immense with its EMGs, very nice to play with a very fast matt neck. Weight 9.57lb, 4.35kg. I'll include the strap as it's a really long one just for this bass. Schaller straplocks included. No case at all. 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. Feel free to pop round & try it, I'm about a mile outside central Bath.
