So here's a game I play roughly once a year. I list a whole bunch of basses for sale (really not wanting to sell any of them you understand) and once a couple have actually sold 😩 I let the remaining listings slide down below the radar. Until the next time.

 

I'm not selling because I'm desperate for the money, and if I was John Entwistle then I'd just keep the lot and have an ever-expanding collection, but the reality is that over half my basses get played very little, if at all. Common sense says that at least some of these lovely instruments should get back out in circulation.

 

I have no interest at all in trades. Replacing a bass that doesn't get played with a different bass that won't get played seems like a complete waste of time and effort.

 

On the other hand, many of my basses are pretty non-standard or left-field and therefore hard to price, so I'm not absolutely wedded to the figure stated.

 

I'm in Harrow HA1, close to Sudbury Hill on the Piccadilly Line, and I gig regularly throughout Beds, Bucks, Herts & Middx, with occasional forays into Surrey. Pickup in person is always preferable to despatch (from home, or a mutually-convenient pub, or at one one of my gigs), but I've had nothing but good experiences with DPD so if you live more than - say - 50 miles from Harrow then that's an option.

This was spec'd by the original owner to the highest level and is a particlarly nice example.

It's been strung E - C from new but could obviously be B - G if preferred.

A very light bass and well-balanced too.

Condition is pretty much pristine. I couldn't find any blemishes to focus on.

Build quality is excellent, attention to detail second to none.

Public Peace's own video of a fairly similar bass is here: 

 

 

Obviously the one I'm selling is a 5-string and active.

I'm really not good on diseased trees, Mick. 😂

 

OK, I can see it's not beech (I used to own a small beech wood), and I can see it's not pine (I've been to Ikea, y'know), but beyond that?

Yup ... it's wood.
