Bit of a bump for this beastie - no interest in the fantastic sounding bass?

Love that!

Happy to accept more ! Did wonder once I posted it whether I ought to ask a bit more, but it's done now! Was just playing it through my rig and started to have second thoughts, but no, the purge must happen!

#### SOLD #### Some may have spotted that I was asking for assistance dating the body of this beasty - and now you know why. I'm currently in the process of slimming things down ready for a house move (downsize), so this lovely hunk of swap ash has to go. Body appears to be dated as 26 June 1979. I acquired the body from the original owner, who bought the bass new in Denmark Street. In his time of ownership it had the J pickup route added, and was converted to stereo - as well as being painted salmon pink. When I got it (around 2005 IIRC), the salmon pink was seriously flaking off, so I stripped it back to bare wood, and then grain filled with clear epoxy resin (which makes the grain pop nicely). Finished in clear nitro, there are some blemishes in places - see pics. I have considered refinishing it, but I think we'll call it mojo instead. You will see from the photo where I have removed the scratchplate that the colour had mellowed nicely over the years. Currently set up for mono use, there is a spare switch on the scratchplate that I intended to get sorted for some sort of bonkers switching scheme but decided to keep things simpler. Second output jack plate installed to cover the hole. I have spare jack sockets if you want to try some inventive wiring. The neck (serial K014230) is a 1990 Made In Japan Jazz neck, and has a lovely slim profile. Width at nut is 38mm, and depth at the nut is 20mm from fretboard to rear of neck centreline. I bought the neck already finished as it is, which is in a clear gloss epoxy. Side dots are at the fret position (i.e. a "proper" fretless neck. Tuners are contemporary with the neck (came with it so I assume are the originals), and are a nickel finish rather than chrome. They are a little "slack" when tuning down, but hold tune very well - just tune down below the note and then wind the tuner up again (as you usually would anyway. Bridge is a BadAss II, again in nickel finish. Pickups a P/J pair of Seymour Duncan Basslines. Currently strung with TI Jazz Flats. OK, so now the elephant in the room..... weight. No, it doesn't weigh as much as an elephant, although Fenders of this era are renowned as boat anchors. It comes in at 4.8kg - 10lb 9oz. Weighed on my luggage scales that I also tested with weighing a similar weight of known items (5 full bags of flour, if you must know), so I am confident that the weight is accurate. Will be shipped in a Tribal Planet semi rigid gig bag - it's an excellent bag, but has a broken zip on one of the small pockets - otherwise eminently usable. Shipping would be at cost (I will insist on a fully insured, tracked service), or you are welcome to collect from East Herts (3 miles north east of Hertford). Any questions, please ask - happy to take more photos etc. My feedback thread.

NOW SOLD Made by the Packhorse Case Co Ltd. See the pics below. I picked this up when buying a TC BG250, but no longer need the flight case. The original size was apparently for a Peavey 1516, but with some clever extra packing it will take smaller packages. Dimensions are as follows: Outside: 19" x 24" x 32 1/2" (48cm x 62cm x 83cm). Height inc castors is 37 1/2" (96cm). Inside (to start of foam) 30 1/2" x 17" x 22 1/4" (77cm x 43cm x 56cm). Catches all work fine, castors are smooth. Collection from East Herts preferred - I do travel to Bristol, Lewes (Brighton) and Birmingham on occasion, so can drop off if convenient.

KAM partybar with case, stand, footswitch and remote control. All working fully, light use (only seen a few gigs). Always transported in the case. DMX 512 compatible / 15 channels Onboard full colour mixing Manual strobe speed adjust Each lamp has 108 RGB LEDs (36 red, 36 green and 36 blue) Individual lamp tilt and swivel T-bar incorporates controller / blue LED display controller Padded rig bag and 4 pedal foot controller Stand and stand bag Sets up in just 3 minutes! Photos are of the unit itself except for the last one which is a stock image just to demonstrate what is included. You are welcome to collect or to arrange your own shipping if you wish, but it looks like because of the size, shipping would be around £22 (insured).
