Sounds great to be fair. I have a bitsa P that I'm forever changing the pickup in, I really rate the GZR but it's probably not a worthwhile change over what you have already.

1982 Fender Precision Bass Special Walnut. Can you take it to the bridge?

These are colloquially known as "claw" bridges, try using that as a search term. I don't know a great deal about them but from what I understand they're quite rare and sought after. I don't think they were produced for very long. -
Never heard of the builder before but I can see me doing some research, that's a great looking bass! Lime green metallic looks a lot better than it sounds. How did you get on with the pickup?

Gorgeous! I bet this is a rock machine.

I have two basses with roasted maple necks, a stingray special, and a parts P bass with a neck made by Shuker. I've had the stingray for a couple of months, (it's a 2020 build) and the P bass since January (the neck was made this time last year). The stingray needed a neck tweak when the seasons changed not so long ago, only about 1/4 turn, but the shuker neck hasn't budged at all.

Lovely bass, are these through body stringing only? -
Wow, that looks great.

I recently got this Aqua Sparkle special 2nd hand from Bass Direct. It's a 2020 build and came with a hipshot extender installed. I've always liked the way Stingrays play, and loved the sound of them when other people played them, but for some reason, with the older 2 and 3EQ I could never get a sound I was happy with out of one. This was a bit of a stab in the dark, but it's definitely paid off. I was hoping that the new 18v pre would work for me and I'm happy to say so far so good. Also who doesn't love a sparkle finish?

Hello mate, the kitchen scales say around 3.9kgs. -
Wow that's a cool bass. -
Yup, post edited. Serial starts 0030 so it's a 78 🙂. -
Ibanez SR 1200e in VNF (vintage natural flat?) Really playable bass, the SR body shape is super comfortable and the neck is lightning fast. Great range of tones available from the Nordstrand big singles and 3 band EQ. It has an almost Warwick quality to it which I guess is to do with the woods. Being from the Ibanez premium range this has gotoh tuners and comes with the Ibanez fitted case. Two small dings in the back of the body, otherwise pretty perfect condition wise. Everything works as it should. Great way into a wenge necked bass if that's your thing (this is panga panga, which I'm reliably told is wenge for all intents and purposes, just from a different part of the world). Collection preferred from Pontyclun, but postage is possible at buyers cost and risk. I commute to Bristol. Any trial welcome.

1978 Peavey T-40. Natural and maple. First version with the slightly less contoured body and "toaster" pickups. In good condition but has been played, definitely not a case queen. There are marks. I've been its custodian for 20 years, it's a great bass but just isn't getting played and it's too good to sit in a rack. These are an "if you know, you know" type of thing, but for those that don't it's a fully passive bass with some really powerful passive electronics. The tone controls operate as expected, but you get humbucker from 1-8 and single coil from 8-10. The front switch is a pickup selector and the back one is phase, or coil selection depending on which pickup is selected and where the tone control is, It's not as complicated as it sounds though. Those definitely aren't mudbuckers! Yes, it's heavy. But perfectly manageable on a decent strap. Comes with a generic gig bag. I'd prefer not to post but happy to discuss at buyers risk and expense. I live in Pontyclun but commute to Bristol. Any trial welcome.

Also, my 50s inspired but not really that 50s Partscaster. Mark Jenny ice blue metallic, light aged body. Shuker neck, gotoh and EMG hardware.
