Will entertain offers on this - I have now listed it on eBay/reverb etc.

Yeah - the 51 is ace, but I’m trying to make space, builders start in September 🤩

might be a g3, but just trying to justify it. Im playing the ripper a lot recently, so its the same feel with a different sound. I’ll entertain offers on this 51 though…the Yamaha has sold and I’ve had 2 messages about the Danelectro so I’m hoping I can make space in the rack. Id love to live in a world where I could keep them all…but I’d need a spare house.

Will listen to offers on this - looking at a gibson

Will listen to offers on this as I’m looking at a Gibson

Nearly went. dont be sensible…whatever you do

Searched high and low for one of these that wasnt a train wreck. Top of the range late 1990’s/early 2000’s Yamaha. DiMarzio pickups. Colour is Shelby Blue. 2 chips (photographed) Otherwise in decent nick. It is 30 ish years old so there are some marks but very good for age. These had a push pot for coil tapping - which failed; I nearly bought one new but the associated pot was knackered in the shop… When I got this, it had already been replaced with a standard pot. Sounds ace - but I need to clear the decks. And I’m not playing much bass, let alone guitar. My other guitar is a battered Pacifica worth about £90 so it makes sense to move on the more valuable one. no case - but I have packing materials. £15 to ship in UK (at buyers risk)

Another one - Please Read. I bought this with a view to sorting an issue with the electronics (99.9% sure the switch is bollocksed) It arrived the Same Day as 2 Soloking Basses and the same week as the 51 build…so it’s sort of sat unused. When I got 10 minutes I Desoldered the switch and redid it. It went from only doing Neck Pickup and a weird out of phase sound…to neck pickup, weird phasey both and normal both…but I think it just needs a new switch (my orange one has a switchcraft replacement). Its got a few marks on it but plays well and sounds good. The Pickguard is lovely - but has the odd gap on it, looks the part from a foot away. Postage will be £20 in the UK at buyers risk Or it’s in Manchester (m27)

I know I said I was going to send this to you - so if anyone in the NE wants to try it I can send to Paul

Bump for this.
