  1. Lovely colour. Buy in confidence from Paul. Great member of our community
  2. Thanks for this information. I realise now I looked on a site that said made in Japan rather than crafted in Japan
  3. I think.he used a spoon to to remove the wood for a Humbucker
  4. Fender Crafted in Japan Precision. If your looking for a spotless case queen then dont look here. This bass has a ton of genuine road worn Mojo. It was originally Olympic White but its more yellow now. It has been fitted with an Fender American Vintage Pickup. Reverse tuners Kiogon Wiring Loom. It sounds exactly how you want a Precision to sound. The wiring loom and vintage pickup up give such a great range of Tones. Slim glossed neck which is also quite shallow and the reason I am moving this on as I prefer the chunkier neck on the Vintera Precisions. I have used this a lot and it never fails to get compliments and just sits great in the mix. Serial Number indicates it was made in Japan in 1993 -1994. The BAD part. A previous owner has routed out a Humbucker size cavity in the body. It may of contributed to making this a nice lightweight bass for a Precision. Collection from Huyton Liverpool or possible meet up in the Northwest. Postage may be possible if I can source a suitable box for shipping.
  5. Hercules double guitar stand. Excellent condition. Only used on 2 gigs. Collection from Liverpool
  6. Price Drop to £500 Always Fancied a Jack Cassidy Bass, or a Flea Jazz Bass, possibly 1024x, or a USA Musicman SUB Can add cash for the right deal. Thining the Herd out continues. I bought this mostly for sentimental reasons as the BB1100s was the first quality bass I ever owned back in the 1980s. Since then I have prefered passive instruments as I always fiddle constantly with the active electronics. Unfortunately I have continued this habit with this one. It's in great condition for its age apart from a slightly bent G Tuner. Nice low action, lovely neck. A vast array of useable tones from the active circuitry, or at the flick of a switch you play it in passive mode. The bridge had been changed for a quality Badasss bridge when I got. Very impressed with the quality of it. In great condiction for a vintage instrument. Collection from Liverpool or meet up in the North West. If I can source a suitable box then postage could be an option.
  7. Another Yamha up for sale as I attempt to thin the Herd out. I took this in a trade only to discover it had many issues with the electronics. I have replaced all the faulty components and set it up with a nice low action. It comes with D Tuner which could be very useful if you need to play lower than an E. The one issue I haven't resolved is a split in the finish between the Volume and Tone pots. This doesn't effect the playability but feel it should be pointed out. It plays great, sounds great and will make a great gigging or backup bass. Can be tried out in Huyton Liverpool. Collection preferred but could meet up in the North West. If I can source a suitable box postage could be an option
  8. Yamha BB 424. I find myself with way too may Bass Guitars so it's time to thin the Herd out. The 424 is a great bass for any level of player. Superb pickups that with give a vast array of useable tones with one flick of the 3 way toggle switch. It also comes with Yamhas outstanding build quality Guitar is in really good condition for its age. Only issue I can find is a hair line crack in the paint finish on the back of the body. I have tried to capture this in a photo. Can be tried out in Huyton Liverpool. Collection preferred or meet up in the North West. If I can source a suitable box postage will be an option
  9. Having owned all the models you mentioned, I found I preferred the BB414. Slightly slimmer neck. They all sound very similar, with no massive " wow that sounds much better " moment. There all really good which ever one you decide on.
  10. Just done a trade deal with Steve. We met on a motorway service station, with Steve being kind enough do the Lions share of the travelling for the meet up. Buy/Trade with Steve in confidence. Great communications throughout. Bass was exactly as described. Really pleasant guy too. Wish I would of had more time to chat.
  11. Hoping to pick up some decent gig bags that have been discounted. Ideally 2 of them.
