    [s]"Fender" fretless jazz bass neck. Previously a fretted neck but has been converted to an unlined fretless and a Fender decal applied. Lacquer finish on the neck. Okay conidition, the fingerboard could do with a few coats of varnish, there are some small dents and it is missing the string tree and the machine heads are a tad road worn (one has "Nick" etched on it). - £30 .

    Jazz bass body with chrome bridge. Again, okay condition. Ideal for a project. - £30[/s]

    [s]Alesis Q25 USB keyboard. Good for Cubase. Get your prog on! - £20[/s]

    DR Hi-Def 5 string set (BEADG). Only seen a few weeks use. - £15

    [s]Thomastik Infeld Jazz Flats (EADGC) I'd hoped to use these myself but I need roundwounds as much as I need money. - £15[/s]

    (Both sets of strings are cut for a 3+2, 34" five string.)

    Everything here is for sale; no trades, thank you. I would rather have this stuff collected (from West London) but postage can be arranged at buyer's expense (I'd also need time to get packaging together.).

  2. I bought this not two weeks ago but, having bought another bass that I can't really afford, this has to go! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/164820-epi-thunderbird-sold/page__p__1501661__hl__thunderbird__fromsearch__1#entry1501661"]Here's the original thread.[/url]

    This is a very underrated bass, one of the reasons I went for it was because I wanted to see what the fuss (good and bad) was about. On the (much heavier) plus side: It is very comfortable to play, the pickups are very dark but not muddy, it can do a great variety of tones (this is not just a "rock" bass, it can to funk, RnB, slap, etc; it just happens to be exceptionally good at rock!) And, it being Korean made, the construction is very solid; I would happily gig with this bass. On the downside, the obvious hunderbird flaws, neck dive and poor upper register access. Bah, who wants to play those frets anyway? :P

    Since buying it I've changed the strap button position to help with the infamous neck dive (which is now a minimum so long as you have a decent strap, with cheap nylon straps there is still some droopage) so it is now on the heel of the bass; this means that there are 2 open screw holes, one where the strap button was and one where I started drilling into the neck and then thought better of it before any damage was done. Both are easily covered by a bit of wood filler or PVA glue and a black marker. :P

    I'm asking £100 for this, exactly what I paid. £100 collected from my door, £105 delivered anywhere in zones 1 to 4 in London and £120 delivered anywhere in the UK. If you want it delivered anywhere else then PM me.

    I have no camera and only a phone and cheap webcam at my disposal so pictures won't do it justice (though I'll happily try my best on request), I would describe the condition of this bass as "acceptable" to "good". No major problems but clear signs of use.

    [center][b]This bass will be sold with the strings it came with, stainless steels with plenty of life in them.[/b][/center]

  3. That was the plan when I bought it but I lack the funds, time and skill. :( I need this bass to be up and running every day too, my track record with electronics means it would take me about a week to do all that. Hopefully whoever gets this can make better use of it's potential.

    Very possibly buying a bass this evening, if that goes ahead then I'll put up a sale price of £125.

  4. For sale, my SX Precision in vintage white with a tort pickguard and a rosewood neck. The upgrades are Wilkinson tuners, a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder, a black high-mass bridge*) and a Fender decal. The finish on the neck has been striped down to remove the overly-orange tint and it has exposed screw holes around the bridge, 2 for the old bridge (which is included) and 2 for a bridge cover (also included, sans screws.)

    (*The bridge is actually a piezo bridge but needs a new wire (and soldering) for it to work.)

    I'm trading this in because I need a bridge pickup, simple as. I'd rather a straight swap but I might be able to add a little bit of cash for the right bass. Extended range is fine but I must have frets!

    I'm a music student so I use this bass every day so it would need to be done in person and in London so I'm not bassless and waiting for a courier.

  5. Would you be at all interested in trades? I've got an SX Precision with a 1/4lb Seymour Duncan pickup that I'd be willing to put towards it with a bit of cash going your way. I'm in Ealing so not too far away.

  6. As a previous owner, I can say this bass is flippin' great. The Seymour Duncan adds a bit more beef to the low end and some clarity, it's also a lot quieter than the original. The arm contour mod helps a hell of a lot too.

    Good luck with the sale! I'd have it if I weren't a penniless idiot.
