Hi guys, up for sale/trade is my 2011 Mark Hoppus signature P-bass: It's a P-bass neck on an ash Jazz bass body in transparent surf green. It's an intriguing colour in that it seems to change its hue depending on the lighting in its vicinity (I tried to capture this in the pics) The bass is practically mint save for this one little bump on the edge of the fingerboard, E string side: Okay, so I made a few minor modifications here: First off, I changed the stock Seymour Duncan out for a Lindy Fralin and swapped the single volume knob for a stacked vol/tone with cloth wiring and an orange drop .47 cap. The bridge I changed for a deluxe American bridge and I swapped the signature neck plate for a Fender F-stamp. All of these mods are easily reversible. However, the only part I do not have is the original pickup... the original wiring, pot, neck plate etc will be included in the sale. The bass comes setup with a set of DR Sunbeams (45-105) but I can also string it up with some slightly worn-in Chromes. It also includes a tweed hard case. Considering that these are £592 online at the moment, and the mods/parts with it, I would be comfortable to let it go for £500, posted. I'm open to offers and trades but ideally I'd like cash. Cheers, Bob.

Hi guys, up for sale/trade is my Fender/Warmoth Fenderbird. The neck is from a MIJ 62 Precision bass (1998 IIRC?) and it's from my first bass actually. The body is from Warmoth in America and it's a cocobolo top on mahogany with a black pinstripe layer between. The knobs are cocobolo, the pickups are Nordstrands, the bridge is a Schaller and it's currently setup with a set of Chromes. I also upgraded the machineheads to Hipshots. This bass was assembled last year. A hint of flame on the back of the neck: The headstock has a few minor scuffs on it which is somewhat expected as it's seen a fair bit of play time. The body has a little chip in the finish near the strap lock but it's barely noticeable. I'm aware that Thunderbirds are typically prone to neck dive but there is none to be found on this bass (possibly due to the strap button positions). The pickups were only recently changed and my tech also fully shielded the cavities while he was at it. As such, I'd be willing to throw in a set of EMG PJX pickups that were once in it (aggressive but a little clinical sounding for my tastes). It also comes with a snug-fitting gig bag. Anyway, down to business. I'm after [b]£500[/b] for this posted. I'm open to offers/trades but I'm mainly after cash for this. Cheers, Bob.

BUMP FOR GREAT JUSTICE! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?&app=forums&module=extras&section=legends#"][/url]

I lol'd

Cheers Higgie, I've a feeling its new owner is going to be pleased I think I undervalued it more than I initially thought but I'm a man of my word... I'd rather know the instrument is fulfilling its purpose and being loved instead of making as much off the sale as I can.

Burmp!

ON HOLD

Cheers BTW Higgie, I haven't been keeping on top of my fretless playing and I have no need for one atm. I was content to keep it but that Stingray caught my eye and I've vowed to limit my basses to five

Hi guys, I have a new addition to the stable incoming so I figured I'd trim it down while I'm at it. This is a Status/Fender Fretless Precision bass: The neck was made by Status earlier this year. It has a very comfortable P-bass profile with an unlined fingerboard. The machineheads are Gotoh and the string retainer is a Hipshot 3-way.There are some surface scratches on the neck but I've found that most of these sort of marks wipe off easily enough. Essentially the neck itself is mint. The body came from my very first bass; a MIJ Fender 62 Precision bass (built mid-late 90s.) The bridge is a Leo Quan Badass II, the body was routed by a local luthier for the jazz pickup. The pickguard is an aftermarket one that fits well although the original mint-green one will be included too. There are a few dings and tiny chips here and there on the body (I've tried to capture them in the photo above) but they're hardly noticeable. The pickups are a Nordstrand PJse set (SE jazz pickup at bridge which is hum-cancelling.) It plays well with low action and is currently setup for DR Sunbeams (40-100). I haven't taken pictures but I'll also include an old (and pretty worn) Coffin hardcase or a Fender softcase. I'm currently asking for £465 collected. I can arrange a courier at an extra cost and I would be willing to entertain the idea of meeting up in person at a half-way point. Cheers, Bob.

Hi guys, I'm selling my old (and trusty) rig. It's an Ashdown ABM 500 evo II with an 8ohms ABM 4x10 cabinet. Overall condition's pretty good... the amp head and cab have some scuffs and marks from regular gigging and the metal corners of the amp head have a fair bit of oxidisation going on. (I have no pics of the cab as it's in storage right now.) However, this rig was bought as new and despite its appearance it's been treated well and has served well in return. The head had a service done by Ashdown just over a year ago. They cleaned the inside up and replaced all of the pots. I'm after £300 for the pair. Local collection is preferable but I could arrange a courier at an extra cost (I would also potentially be up for meeting halfway somewhere.) I'm mainly looking for cash but if you have something to trade feel free to try me Cheers, Bob.
