Hi mate - it’s 18mm I think all Sire 5’s are 18mm & all Sire 4’s are 19mm, certainly all the Fender shaped ones are, the M series and new Z series might be different, but I don’t really bother with those models myself. Hope that helps 👍

Reduced - £295!! 🤩

Sire Marcus Miller P5R-5 String P Bass (Tobacco Sunburnt/Tort Pickguard) For sale is my 5 string Sire P-Bass. It is their latest , and best passive P Bass model, the “R” in P5R standing for ‘Rosewood’ as these have Rosewood fingerboards rather than roasted maple, giving them a look much more in keeping with a traditional P-Bass The P5R also has the upgraded “Marcus Vintage-Fat Precision Revolution Split Coil” pickup from the older P5’s which is as good as any P pickup I’ve played, it sounds like a proper vintage P Bass with extended lower range than the older pickups on the P5’s. @Bassdude BE wrote a great review of these basses when they first came out here: 5 string P Basses are pretty hard to come by, and your main option is usually Fender USA’s at over £1k even used. The quality looks and Sound of this bass and epic playability puts it on a par with basses 4 x as expensive, IMO it’s the best bass that Sire have made (and I’ve tried most of them!). Condition is really good, I’ve gigged it a few times but it’s still in excellent condition. It’s lightweight especially for a 5, and has many premium features such as string through body and Rolled edge fretboard only found on US Fender’s. I bought it from Bass Gallery about 6 months ago for £450 and it came really nicely setup, so it plays like a dream Sire Marcus Miller P5R/5: Neck: roasted maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Neck profile: C Scale: 34" (Long Scale) Fingerboard radius: 241 mm Nut width: 48 mm Bone nut 20 Medium small frets Pickups: Marcus Vintage-Fat Precision Revolution Split Coil Volume and Tone controls Tortoise pickguard Marcus Miller Vintage-S Bridge Chrome hardware Colour: Tobacco Sunburst Trades? - Possibly, and I’ll put cash in for the right bass. I actually want a 4 string P Bass and I’d even take a 4 string P5R if it’s in White, but Jazz Bass (4’s & 5’s), Ray34 etc, try me with what you have, but I’d prefer a sale Postage - Postage can be arranged anywhere in the U.K. for about £25. I’m including a Fender gigbag with the sale, so if you do need it posting it’ll be in a Gigbag and it’ll also be boxed with plenty of padding Etc so it will arrive safely Price: Reduced to £295 - An absolute steal for this price! PICS 👇 I’ll even throw in the matching Tort pick if you want it too! 😂

Would you sell the board without power supply, and how much if so? Cheers

EDIT: Got all the pics uploaded into the original post - today I learned about the attachment upload limit of 100mb! 😝

Sadowsky MetroExpress (Gen 1) 5 String PJ Active Bass - Reduced to £325 For sale is my absolutely fantastic gen 1 Sadowsky MetroExpress 5 string bass with PJ pickup configuration. It is in excellent condition, it’s a used bass so there are a few marks and some minor bits of buckle rash but nothing really to speak of, generally the overall condition is still really good. Colour is black, but if you look closely it’s got a sparkle to it a bit like metallic paint, which is subtle but very nice and shows up really nicely on stage under the lights. Maple neck & Maple fingerboard with a Tort pickguard finishing it off giving it one of the classic Sadowsky looks. (See pics for paint) These basses are amazing value for money, this one has had all of the snags that people mention taken care of (fretwork has been done and has been setup really nicely). Very comfortable to play, you’re getting about 80% of the bass you get with a German Metroline, but for £375 (or you can pay another £2k on top for the extra 20% you get with the Metroline - these are hugely underrated basses) Comes with the 2 band Sadowsky preamp so it sounds huge live, there is no VTC (tone control) but it’s really not essential at all. Also has push/pull active bypass/passive mode, so if your battery fails mid gig you’re still ok to carry on, Bass & treble (boost only), volume & blend Probably the most versatile bass I have and the perfect gigging bass for a working bass player - it sounds fantastic in every situation I’ve used it in. Only selling as I have 2 of these PJ5’s - I bought a spare as I like them so much, but I’ve got my eye on something else (again!) so I’ve got to let something go I am also including a really high end, substantial Sadowsky ’Portabag’ gig bag which are still selling for £100+ online. It didn’t actually come with this bass, it came with my first MetroExpress PJ5 that I bought when they were still well over £500, but I dont use it as I have a Mono that I use Postage available if you want it at your cost (will be £25ish) I’ve got the Gigbag to post it in and I’ve still got the box from a bass I bought last month so I can package it all up nice and safely if required Trades? I would prefer the cash but I may be interested in a trade, and will put cash in for the right deal. Currently after a 4 string P Bass, possibly a Ray24/34 or possibly a USA SUB Stingray, I love a Jazz bass too (4 and 5) but just drop me an inbox if you have something to trade - if it’s not for me the worst I can say is no PRICE - Reduced to £350 (Plus postage if needed) DETAILS: - Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Fret Hybrid P/J Bass (5 String) - 34” Scale - Okume Body - Maple Neck & Fretboard - Bolt On Neck - 12” Fretboard Radius - Sadowsky “Just-A-Nut” III Nut - 47.5mm Nut Width - 21 nickel silver frets - Passive Sadowsky P pickup (neck) & J pickup (bridge) - 2 Band Boost only preamp (Bass @ 40hz & Treble @ 4khz) - Volume/Blend/Treble/Bass - Sadowsky Lite Tuners with open gears - Sadowsky Quick Release Bridge - Solid black high polish finish with Tort pickguard PICS 👇 EDIT: Also - if buyer prefers it I can put a white pickguard on it (I quite like the tort one on my sunburst anyway) it looks really good - especially if you’re gonna do the decal

I was thinking exactly that!

I had one of these for ages, I really really liked it, indestructible too! GLWTS

Still here at the moment - a few enquiries but nothing concrete yet. Count really do with getting rid (hence ridiculously low price lol) as I’ve just bought another on here

@tobiewharton - I’d take £750 and your Burgandy Mist V7 you’ve got up for sale if you fancied doing a deal 😉 haha

@dutchwife - if you want to pay for shipping abroad I’d be happy to look into and see what it costs, but it’d be at your cost. I really don’t know how much it’ll cost TBH, but if you wanted to do that I don’t mind seeing if it’s viable

She’s a little bit of a chunkster sitting at about 9.8lbs - but it’s a 35” scale, 5 string with an Ash body so it’s never gonna be a lightweight bass. It certainly doesn’t feel heavy “on” like some basses can, possibly because overall it’s a really well balanced instrument, but all that lovely resonating from the ‘premium tone woods’ Lakland talk about do come at the cost of it not being the lightest bass ever 😁 I’ve done a couple of relatively long sets/gigs with it (1 x 90 min set, and also did 3 x 45’s over 4 hours) and it didn’t give me any backache or leave me feeling uncomfortable, and I’ve had chunky Jazz Bass’s before that have been problematic in that respect, but this has always been OK 👍

Bump for the best value cab ever 😁 haha. I am buying something else, and as always I’m financially flying by the seat of my pants, so I could really do with getting rid of this ASAP!

I’ll take it mate as we discussed - I’ve sent you a DM, cheers 👍

I had one of these and truly regret getting rid of it, it’s a really sweet sounding compressor. I’ll probably be back in for it if it’s still here in a couple weeks

Lakland Skyline 55-02 Deluxe in Translucent Purple - £975 (INCLUDING Lightweight Hardcase & UK Delivery) - Stunning, high-end 5 String 35” Scale Lakland Deluxe bass, the “Deluxe” part meaning it is made with premium tone-woods (Ash Body, Quilted Maple Top, Maple Neck & Ebony Fretboard) - One of the most versatile basses around with MM/J pickup config and coil tap switch for the bridge humbucker MM pickup giving you 3 options, splitting the coil in 2. - 1st position is top row of coils only activated (60’s Jazz Bass bridge pickup position) 2nd position is the bottom row of coils activated (70’s Jazz Bass bridge pickup position) and 3rd position is both rows of coils activated, which is ‘Stingray mode’ - Disclaimer: It doesn’t sound exactly like a Stingray! 😆 But you can get pretty close and it’s still a really funky sound in its own right anyway - Bass is in fantastic condition, not really been gigged much by me and the finish remains perfectly in tact - visually it’s a stunning bass and a real eye catcher that gets loads of comments about the looks as well as how it sounds - Ebony Fretboard on a Flat sawn Maple neck with a satin finish, which as is the case with almost all Lakland’s, it is extremely comfortable to play - Finished in stunning translucent purple with no chips or dents in it. The finish allows you to see the grain of the wood, with the Ash at the back & sides contrasting beautifully with the Quilted Maple veneer on the top (**See pics below for close ups of grain/finish 😍**) - Premium Lakland LH3 Electronics (3B boost & cut Preamp & MM/J Pickup config with coil tap switch as explained above) Really great musical sounding preamp, Bass is set at a very useful 125hz and the mids can be selected from 18 different available frequencies between 275hz & 1100hz using the dip switches in the control cavity - The Lakland LH3 pickups are really great sounding and are made to work with the LH3 preamp so the obviously sound great together. One of the best testaments to the LH3 pickups is that you virtually never see a 55-02 that has had modified pickups, because there’s very little out there you can get that’ll make any measurable improvement and there’s no reason to as the LH3 ones are schweeeeet! 😁 - 35” Scale gives you a really great sounding low B string, as all the 35” scale Lakland’s are famous for. Strings can be done through the body or through the bridge. - As this is the “Deluxe” model it comes with pretty much everything the US 55/94 Model comes with, which is all the premium tonewoods as already mentioned, flatsawn maple neck with Graphite Reinforcement Bars, and the premium electronics as mentioned above Im sad to let this go, but I have very much priced it to sell. This isn’t an average 55-02 that’s been gigged hard with standard features - it’s a top end Lakland made with the same premium parts as the US models, and it is then sent to the US for final QC, so apart from the assembly in the far east, I really to struggle to see what the value is in a US model at 3 x the price of this £975 [inc case & UK shipping!] **Includes a lightweight hardcase/semi hardcase (like a hard foam type case - anyway It’s brand new and Is absolutely perfect to ship it in as it’s light but will protect the bass!) AND U.K. Shipping!** Not really looking for trades, however if you do have something you think I’d be interested in drop me a message with it and the worst I can say is “No Thanks” The only Trades I have in mind currently that I’d seriously look at are: - Sadowsky MetroExpress (Made in China) as a PX with cash my way, Or - Straight swap for a Yamaha BBP35 (MIJ), …but I can be pretty susceptible to a Deal 😁 so feel free to try me! PICS BELOW 👇

@Quatschmacher - it’s still for sale currently if you want it 😁 had no messages/responses yet - if you’re not fast you’re last and all that! 😛
