Just had a go at getting a shot on the scales and in the vertical orientation it varied between 6.2 and 6.4lb... Laying it flat on the scale resulted in a steady 6.2lb.. Insanity.

Feel like we need a scale shot of this one, that's crazy light for what it is!

 

Lovely looking thing!

Sure thing, here it is with a regulation tin of beans for scale.

That’s rather lovely. GLWTS.

Thanks 👍

Now £250

1986 Ibanez Roadstar RB760 made in Japan up for grabs. This is a lovely instrument that has many cross over features from the Musician I sold recently. It has the same wonderful neck profile, body shape, hardware and high build quality, but with a bolt on neck and passive PJ pickups. It also has the coolest strap locks ever created 👌 It's in very good condition for a bass of this vintage but does have some signs of use as you'd expect, and a bit of a ding on the bottom. It plays and sounds great. I was half tempted to update the electronics to something modern but as with the Musician, there's really no need! 

Note: The bass is 34" scale and the finish is "Gun Metallic". 

It's very light at around 3.7kg. 

Collection from Margate or I can box it up if you'd like to arrange a courier. 

Big price drop to £1500! 

Bump 👍

When he starts playing that fast, walking groove is sublime. Nice to see him playing his Bass Collection signature Jazz too.

Pedant alert - that's his Joseph Kaye Faith & Grace bass. 

He'd sound awesome on anything. Total legend.

Beautiful. Jay, you're moving some lovely basses lately. Great taste Sir. GLWTS 

Thanks mate, the gear merry-go-round never stops 😁

On hold! 

A lovely 80's made in Japan Ibanez Musican bass complete with a Hiscox flight case. 

This bass is extremely well built and features neck through construction, 24 fret ebony board, lightweight hardware and active electronics. It plays wonderfully with a recent set of Ernie Ball flats and a med/low action. It sounds great! 

Bad points are it has some superficial lacquer checking/dings/missing finish etc but nothing out of the ordinary for an instrument that has been used for 40 years or so! Also the bridge pickup seems to have a lower output than the neck for some reason. With the pickup pan pot balanced or favouring the neck you'd never notice it, but mentioning for clarity. I have considered modernising the pickups/preamp but IMO it sounds great as it is. 

A wonderful instrument. 

Just realised I didn't label this as being a Fender! 

I think I might have a plan for this, so withdrawing if it doesn't go this weekend 👍

(2.9kg/6.4lb!) sounds really hard to believe.

 

You'll have to send it to me so that I can confirm what you say. A few months should be OK.😉😉

 

GLWTS (you won't need it!!)

Sounds reasonable 😁

That is a really good looking bass, the woods are great and that weight is unbelievable.

Thanks, it's quite something. 

Now £1395! 

Spector Euro RST in the wonderful Sienna finish up for grabs. This bass manages to be both unbelievably light (6.2lb!) while still feeling extremely solid and 'proper'. I've had light basses that feel like toys, this is not one of them! It features Aguilar pickups and an Aguilar preamp for some serious punch. Being Aguilar they also produce a nice vintage tone when required, especially with the neck pickup favoured and a slight treble cut. Both pickups on full with some bass and treble boost will send you to slap heaven.

It has been gigged so is showing small signs of use, but it is in fantastic condition overall.  It comes in a nice Spector gig bag. 

Collection from Margate or I can box it up securely if you'd like to arrange collection. 

How about £350 posted to your door?

Withdrawn. 

Pics of the case, posh strap and Schaller straplocks that are included in the sale. Crazy value at £395!

Right, I've had a sort out this morning and I can include a flight case, schaller strap locks and a nice leather Levy's strap if anyone fancies this? 

I'll add some pics later 👍

Maybe your replicant character in the parallel universe plays Warwick

Possibly, and If he does he'll definitely be thinking he should get a real Spector instead.

Must be a glitch in the multiverse.

A brilliant deal this. Love this bart/ibanez combination 

Thanks. It does offer amazing value for money! 

I was playing along to Erykah Badu's live album with last night and it sounds fantastic.

I doubt you will,but if you ever decide on breaking up the parts I'd definitely be interested in the body 👍

Hopefully it'll go to a good home in one piece, unless someone else wants just the neck?
