Tis the season for some glorious DJs. Alas, my collection is complete - from the wife's perspective - but I can vouch for these being great basses. The maple fretboard is really bright, and the whole instrument is very classy.

Wee tweak on the pricing. My boob!

What do we reckon, cetera, am I going to regret this?

Gone to a new home - thanks for all your enquiries ------------------------------------------------------------- As per the previous, I am consolidating! Yay for me, but feel my sorrow - I'm letting some fun basses go. This certainly falls into the fun category. 1984 Nagoya Japan BC Rich Eagle - originally a deep punk pink/purple it's now lightening with age. It's certainly very bright, and with the original hardware - the pick-ups are nice and hot, and the BCR-marked Gotohs are a nice touch. It's a very light bass. Neck slightly chunkier than a Fender P, with much the same effect through the sound. Strung with EB Slinkys (fitted in Feb). THIS BIT IS IMPORTANT. FOCUS, PEOPLE. Shockwave previously imported this bass from the States, care of a rather heavy handed courier and from a chap who know little about packing, with a resultant neck break in transit. Rob had this professional repaired, including the finish on the painted neck. It makes it very hard for me to take shots (being under paint, and so on) but I want people to be aware. I'm hoping he'll be along to share a little more information. The bass is nicely mojo'ed to my eyes, with rub along the top of the body from arm contact. It sports a variety of dings and rashes, as befits it's age. As a result of all the above, I'm not so keen on shipping - I'd prefer people to come and see and make their own minds up. It will work for some people, it won't for others. Anyway, porn: Asking £250 or close offers.

Back again - am having a punt on something else, and this would need to go to fund it. I sold this bass previously, and bought it straight back - which says everything about how much I cherish this, and how nice a player it is. Sale starting at £300, Comes with gig bag. Collection prefered. ------------------------------------------------------------- This is my 1988 Charvel 575. Sounds like a rhino clearing it's throat, very hot pick-ups and a super-slim neck - oh, and all-Jackson hardware. Absolutely smashing rock bass, really can't fault it. It's age does mean a couple of spots to point out - one ding near the rear strap holder, which has gone through the paint; some minor scuffing to the point of the headstock; and the ubiquitous bucklerash. However, overall the bass is clean and in good condition. Strung with EB Slinkys I will confirm the date from the serial this evening, but I garnered the above from a discussion with an American Charvel forum. This will be a real kicker to let go. It has a heady pang of regret about it, and I've not even finished typing. Let's have some porn to cheer me up: I'm asking £300 or close offers, as I think that's what I paid originally. As per my last thread, I was hoping to reduce the size of my collection and consolidate around a few basses - however, trades will be considered on their merits. Collection prefered, as that way you can try the bass and have a cup of tea. Would be happy to ship or consider delivery, but let's chat about that.

This is no longer available. Many thanks to those who've made enquiries. The bass will shortly be heading to Middlesborough. An old colleague parted terms with the company last year and has had to make some economic adjustments - whilst he might have flogged his own, I did suggest he borrow mine for the while. Not quite what I was expecting, but I'm feeling pretty good about it. We'll have to see if I'm still trimming down when it comes back. Thanks all. ------------------------------------------------------------------ As the title suggests, I think I've got rather too many basses - and it's unbecoming of a young gentleman to leave so many unplayed! This is my MIM Fender P. It's in great condition, as I hope the pictures show. I would hope the Basschat community would know all about P-basses by now, but this is a great example of the MIM breed. Fitted with new EB Slinkys, it's a great little rock and pop bass. I'm asking for £300 as is. I have had some Wizard Area 51s in this previously, and would be happy to supply them too for £350 or thereabouts. Anyway, time for the porn: Collection is prefered, naturally, as it gives you a chance to try - and also a cup of tea, courtesy of my good self. I'd be happy to ship or deliver, within reason, but let's discuss that. Trade-wise, I don't think I need anything on a like-for-like basis. I was either in the hunt for another Grabber or a Lakland DJ4. If you've had a smoke and fancy a straight swap, please don't let my honesty deter you; but I think I'd mainly be after cash, which I can then reinvest in something

[quote name='woodyratm' post='1180784' date='Mar 29 2011, 02:03 PM']Amazing looking bass. Wouldn't be tempted for a dj4 for dj4 swap? Lake placid blue with rosewood. [/quote] Haha, I like this - best of worlds. Champion gets his trade, and he also gets another DJ4 for when he realises how amazing these basses are! Eventually, I want another DJ4 like this. I'd just need to clear my signature to do it, as I don't think I need them all - not with the DJ4 being as brilliant as it is.

Have seen this in the flesh, and it is pure sex.
