Well I beat you all! 😂😂 It was originally mine as I put it all together and did the finish work on it. 👍 slightly different spec now though, interesting to see how it’s evolved.

Nice.  Does the switch ever get moved by accident?

No it’s in such a place where it’s not near your body. As it’s vertical it also is hard to knock by accident

Hi, Did you change the bridge ?? Warmoth is doing 17, 5 or 19 mm bridge spacing...

Hello, I believe it’s 17mm spacing, or which ever is the standard fitting bridge for the Gecko (small).

No idea! Could find out. It’s average weight for a jazz though I reckon.

What markings does it have on side of neck?

Normal dots but in the fret position not in the middle of the fret. So easy enough to play in tune.  

Hello, 

It is with great sadness that I have to let this go...recent events mean that I need the cash more than the bass! 

Up for sale is partscaster I put together using top quality parts and sprayed with Manchester Guitar Tech Nitro Paint and then aged a little. It's more of a worn in look as apposed to full relic: Paint checking and the off knock here and there etc. 

• Body is Guitarbuild.co.uk Alder
• Neck is an Allparts Unlined Ebody fingerboard
• Official Fender Stacked Knob control Plate (CTS pots) - Relic
• Bridge is a Wilkinson Bass bridge - Relic
• Tuners are Nickel Fender Tuners - Relic
• Pickups I wound myself to 60's spec - Heavy Formvar wire etc. 
• Guard is real cellulose Tortoise guard.
• Strung with D'Addario EXP Strings 

I would say this is of Fender quality and has a custom shop vibe to it, but at a fraction of the price. 

Let me know if you have any other questions. 

£500 plus delivery.

Collection or try before you buy is welcome.

Beautiful. So it's a straight to the jack output (nothing in between) : love this !

Good idea to put the parallel/single/series switch at the back.

GLWYS.

Thank you,

Yea wired to the switch, then straight out.

Nice, got any pictures of the dots along the side ?

Hello, 

Deciding to let this one go as I need the funds. 

It's in top condition, basically new and setup with a nice low action, and will definitely give you that mwah you want from a fretless.  Cost me over £1500 for parts/Import costs on all parts. It is a killer bass, not sure if it's the 35" scale, but just never settled with it. 

Here are the specs;

• Warmoth Gecko 5 (small) neck and body
• Mahogany body with figured Koa Top (unique choice)
• Wenge neck with unlined ebony fretboard and matching headstock face
• 35" Scale, 24 frets
• 18mm bridge spacing
• 14" fingerboard radius
• 48mm nut width, 73mm at 24th Fret
• Hipshot Bridge (string through) and ultralite tuners
• Nordstrand Bigsplitman (with secret series/single/parallel switch)
• Finished in Tru-Oil

£600 plus postage or collection from Manchester 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello,

I have decide this pedal doesn't suit my band, so it's up for sale. It's a great pedal and sounds great, just sits on my board not being used. It's in great condition, and comes with a USB cable so you can use the Toneprint function, but no box (It's here somewhere). I will include it if I find it.  

£60 £53 delivered 

Possible trades for a chorus pedal...MXR Deluxe Chorus etc

@Moos3h bought a lovely Warmoth/Alpher Jazz bass from me. Really nice bloke to deal with and no problems with the transaction. Cheers mate. 

@Norris bought a Delano quad coil pickup from me. Nice chap and fast and smooth transaction...cheers matey. 

Hello all,

I have this Delano SBC 5HE/S-4 bridge pickup for sale that I no longer need. This is a quad coil humbucker so it can be switched from series HB/parallel HB/single coil all hum free. It's Bartolini P2 Driver size, dimensions below.

It's a great sounding pickup, giving a full, round fat yet detailed sound. it's in nearly new condition with no marks or scratches and has plenty of cable left. I can also supply some screws if needed. 

£55 Delivered to the UK

This a stunning versatile jazz bass!! Have a bump!!

Excellent pics - do it justice. I note the string pull on the head, nice - all looking rather tasty to me.

Thank you! It certainly is!

Warmoth parts are top notch, so is the hardware, so is the neck. This must sound just awesome.

It does! Just don’t use it as much as I should. I’m a 5 string man!

Thank you. Not off the top of my head, but I don’t feel it’s overally heavy. I can weigh it tonight if you like? 

Hello, 

Here is a rare chance to get a bit of an Alpher feeling bass for a fraction of the price! This was put together and finished by me with top quality parts and finished with Tru-Oil. It's in great condition apart from a couple of dings (pictured) and is a great sounding bass! I'm only selling this as I don't play 4 string much, so this doesn't get played as much as it should. 

It's an Pau Ferro/Ebony Alpher Instruments neck (£450) which i had made, and if you don't know the name it is built i UK to a very high standard! The body is a Warmoth Alder Jazz bass body with flame maple laminate top (cost around £320). It has Tonerider Jazz Pickups which I intended to put in to get it going, but sound great so I left them in. The electronics are Volume, Volume, East Mid Sweep, Passive Tone and is a bit of a hybrid active/passive setup which really works. 

The rest of the hardware is Hipshot so all in all some top quality parts all round. Any questions feel free to send me a message. 

£780 Collection from Manchester (£25 Delivery Cost)

Trades: Looking for a Music Man Stingray 5 string (just not black)

I literally re-fretted one of these from fretless back to frets today...like busses these things...was a great bass!

That’s a thing of beauty 

Thank you!! I also wound the pickups myself to as close to a 60's set as I could, sounds lovely if they are close or not.

Here's a relic Jazz I recently put together! Loads of fun spraying this, getting a perfect finish then hitting with things ! haha

Oh the wood underneath will eventually be a coffee table!
