Red 1993 Fender Precision Lyte Active bass guitar. Has the scars from being well gigged but neck is fantastic and all is working well. Would suit someone looking for a lightweight bass - it's around 3.4kg. Also possibility of a trade deal of some kind for a short scale bass for my daughter - preferably a Sterling Stingray.

Fender Geddy Lee Jazz (Japan) £800 - *SOLD*
Ian Somerville replied to Ian Somerville's topic in Basses For Sale
Amendment to the Ad. And many thanks to Karlfer for the heads up on this. The Fender website for dating Japan built guitars is a bit confusing (for me anyway). Serial no. T + 6 digits is listed as made 94-95 in one place (so not 1996 anyway!!) but later on the webpage it list T + 6 digits as built between 2007-10 when they returned to using ‘Made in Japan’ again. And in relation to this they specifically mention the Geddy Lee and Marcus Miller models. So this bass was made between 2007-2010. -
AMPEG Micro CL 100-Watt Bass Amp £200 - *SOLD*
Ian Somerville replied to Ian Somerville's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Yeah they are a nice little amp. They do seem to have that Ampeg sound albeit in a small package. I'm no expert with Ampeg though and I know people do say that the sound comes from a massive heavyweight cab. I've often thought this one would be perfect for a bass and guitar set up playing small gigs. -
Mint condition Fender Jazz bass - Geddy Lee tribute model made in Japan in 1996. Not much to say about this bass guitar, everyone know how good they are. Neck is fantastic. Weighs 4.2kg. I swopped the white pick guard for a black one but kept it so that is included. Not really interested in any trades accept maybe a Fender P bass with a jazz neck.

Bought a Fender Mustang bass from Sid yesterday. A top bloke and excellent to deal with. I can highly recommend him to other basschat members. Many thanks Sid I hope our paths cross again. Cheers Ian

Many thanks Sid I’m very happy with the bass. Thanks for going over the modifications you made to the mustang and for an interesting and enlightening general chat about playing the bass. It’s really useful for a novice like me to talk to an experienced bass player like yourself. All the best Ian

Hi Nick thanks for sending that link 👍 I really enjoyed reading that but it made me think about why I got a mustang bass. I was thinking it would be more manageable and easier to play having played guitar but there she is a fairly slight petite woman with her P bass! I will look out for long scale basses to try. I do know what she means about acoustic guitars and I love the power of the bass through an amp but I will take my Martin guitar to my grave. It’s good to have both.
