    I bought a couple of Japanese Fenders earlier this year. Both transactions were fine, delivery was only a few days each time. Fedex handled the import charges on my behalf and I paid them back (both times after the basses were delivered). As long as the seller is decent, does the correct paperwork and packs well it should be easy.

    I’m selling this lovely little archtop bass as I tend to use my Guild Starfire for everything nowadays. I’ve not seen another and don’t really know a lot about it. It’s 30” scale, fully hollow, plays great and sounds lovely for acoustic stuff. Currently fitted with TI jazz flats, with an action at the 12th fret of 2.25mm on the bass side and 2mm on the treble. I preferred it without the pickguard but have put it back on for the pictures. Collection from Beccles, Suffolk preferred but I can double box it for a courier. £350.

    Up for sale is my 2018 Recording King RO-T16 acoustic guitar in excellent condition. A lovely playing and sounding guitar, with a 1 3/4" nut and great feeling neck. Set up with an action at the 12th fret of 2.5mm on the bass side and 1.75mm on the treble side. There is plenty of scope to go lower if required as the neck angle is good. An extremely playable guitar that’s only for sale as all my guitar time is taken up with bass playing. Comes with a hard case. £400. Collection from Beccles, Suffolk preferred, but I can post

    I ordered a set of medium scale Labella's earlier this year and both the E & A strings were more like 33", so there is definitely some leeway on those measurements.

    Up for sale is my Guild Starfire 1 Bass. These basses are great and sound awesome. I’ve buffed the gloss finish to remove some of the excess shine, and had binding fitted to the f holes by a luthier. I think it looks better this way. Currently fitted with Thomastik Jazz Flat strings. £425. Collection from Beccles Suffolk much preferred, but I can post.

    Up for sale is my Gretsch G9555 New Yorker Archtop Guitar. It’s an awesome archtop guitar which has now been discontinued. Comes fitted with a DeArmond Rhythm Chief 1000 pickup which sounds ace plugged in. Fitted with 11-49 strings and with an action of 2mm at the 12th fret (with scope to go lower on the bridge). In great condition, with the only thing of note a few scratches on the bottom where it rests on the players thigh. Comes with hard case. £425. Possibly interested in swapping for a flat top acoustic. Collection from Beccles, Suffolk much preferred, but I could post if required.

    I'm in two minds about this but my wonderful Eastman guitar just isn't getting the use it deserves. Exceptionally well built, and plays great. The Lollar P90s sound amazing and are really responsive. It's the Antique Classic finish which looks lovely. It hasn't been gigged and has been well looked after. Comes with a top quality case too. £1,050. Collection from Beccles, Suffolk much preferred, but I can possibly post if required.

    That’s right up my street! I wish I was nearer (and hadn’t just bought a bass).

    Up for sale is my Kay K162 Pro Bass Reissue. It’s in lovely condition and plays well. Fitted with medium scale Rotosound Trubass Tapewound strings which gives a solid double bass like tone. I’ve also had TI Jazz Flats on it which sounded great. Comes with original hard case and some spare Trubass strings. The only notable thing is the back of the neck has been buffed to remove the sticky gloss, making it much nicer to play. £695 collected from Beccles, Suffolk. I have a box so can post if necessary.

    Hello. Do you do refinishes for other people, or just on your own basses? Cheers.

    Lovely bass, in as new condition. Plays and sounds great. Ideally I’m looking to trade for a short/medium scale Fender Japan Precision bass, but would also sell for £850. The spec can be found here: https://www.fender.com/en-AU/electric-basses/jazz-bass/made-in-japan-junior-collection-jazz-bass/5682100304.html Comes with original gig bag. I have the original box so can post.

    Fender BG-32 electro-acoustic bass guitar in excellent condition. Fitted with Ibanez IABS4XC32 carbon coated strings which give good volume and feel smooth. I prefer flatwound strings on my electric bases, and these are a great acoustic string to reduce finger noise. Sounds great either unplugged or plugged in via the Fishman pickup and built in preamp. A reluctant sale, but I’ve just bought a new electric and need some money. Comes with a TGI gig bag. £275 Collection from Beccles, Suffolk. I have a box on the way so can ship.

    I've not had this long, but after going back and forth between this and my other Starfire I've decided my old one just works better for me. That aside, this is an awesome bass in excellent condition. Fitted with stock D’addario flatwound strings and well set up. Comes with signed certificate. It seems a shame to hold on to this if I'm not playing it much, so seeing if anyone's interested in trading for another short/medium scale bass. Ideally I'd swap it for a medium scale Squier/Fender Precison, but also interested in Mustangs. Not really keen on anything too modern looking. Happy to meet up somewhere within an hour of Beccles, Suffolk.

    Hello all. I'm looking to replace a tailpiece on a bass I have with a Hofner one, but I'm struggling to find out anywhere the lengths of the different ones they offer. It seems my options are: Hofner H62/9-F Hofner H62/30-S Hofner H62/32-N Hofner H62/31-S From what I can gather the first 3 are described as long by Hofner, but I'm not sure how long (from the hinge bit to the end). It seems they all have string spacing of 1 5/8", but I can't seem to find the lengths anywhere. It'd also be good to know the depth of the bit that screws to the body, as it'll be going on a fairly slim bass. If anyone has a bass with one of these tailpieces could they please measure it and let me know? That would be much appreciated. Cheers.
