For sale is my 2 year old Vanderkley 1x15 +6" 4 ohms cab. I got this new from Bass Direct in 2016, and its been well looked after. The photos should show you that. The only noticeable marks are on the 4 bottom feet, which is to be expected. Its done 3-5 gigs, but mostly been used for rehearsals. Full spec's here http://www.vanderkleyamp.nl/products/cabinets/115mn6/ As i dont drive and dont wish to post it, it would have to be collection from me either from home (SE1, near the OXO tower), or work (EC1N, Hatton Garden). if you wish to try it out then it will have to be at my work, in the evening. id also have to arrange to get it there but i can do that fairly quickly, within a day or two. No trades, as ive already replaced this, and only very close offers please. Not in a rush to sell, but i do need shot of it as i dont have much room to store it. Photos taken today, so this is the current condition of it. IMO its close to looking perfect but i dont use that word as someone can always disprove it.

This is IMO one of the best reissues that Fender have ever produced, they really nail the 70's vibe and tone. This particular example is in exceptionally good condition, some would say mint. It comes complete with the original C&G case, chrome pickup covers, thumb rest, hang tags, Fender strap etc. It has a fresh set of rounds and sounds amazing. I'm after £975 collected from Margate, can post at cost if required.

Dragonfly 5 string, Fat J5 custom Jazz Bass Handmade in Japan by renowned Luthier, Tatsuaki Totani, who originally worked with Aria and now heads up Harrys Engineering. The Bass is 5 string custom Jazz Bass, Alder Body, 5 piece maple neck with walnut stringers, the headstock is capped in Maple and the fingerboard is flamed maple. The Bass is handmade and the finish and build quality is second to none, up there with Atelier, Xotic etc. The hardware is all high end GOTOH, the pick ups are hand wound Dragonfly customs, flush finished in walnut casings. The scratch plate is in black, which works well with the matt finish of the Alder body. The pre-amp is the Harrys Engineering DFBP-3, LOW/MID/TREBLE boost/cut, with mid notch. There is a mid cut/boost switch, active/passive select, master tone, master volume and balance. The tonal range is really impressive, from vintage Jazz right through to more spanky/slap tones. The bass has excellent playability, with quite a flat profile, which lends itself to quite low action if that's your thing, I have had the Bass professionally set up, with a fret dress just to get it spot on, but it was already pretty good when I got it. It also includes the Dragonfly semi soft case, with all original paperwork/spec sheet/build number and allen keys etc. I have owned the Bass since new, I imported it directly from Bass Japan Direct (Danny Stewart), so it's got a great pedigree, plus you get to avoid the shipping costs and import duties! This is a pro level instrument, unfortunately my playing skills aren't, and, truth be told, I prefer guitar, so I'm looking to move this on to someone who will get better use than I have. It's a joy to play, it sounds fantastic and it looks great, so hopefully someone out there will appreciate this beautiful bass guitar. If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer, if you go to Youtube and search for "Dragonfly Fat j5" you will see a clip of Danny Stewart playing this actual Bass, suffice to say, Danny was quite impressed.

It's happening guys... I wanted to be Jon Stockman but it turns out I'm not and I can't justify having this wonderful thing sat around doing nothing so... Warwick Thumb NT6 from 1997. Serial number A 035230 97. You know the deal. Bubinga and Wenge loveliness. Out of this world Seymour Duncan Bassline II pickups with 18v MEC preamp giving this some insane thump if you want it. It's pretty much unmarked, some very small dings and the world's tiniest bit of white paint on the tip of the headstock (pictured) where it rubbed against the wall where I keep it- could probably come off with a little bit of elbow grease. Sounds and plays amazing. Neck is fairly shallow so no issue getting to all 6 strings. I replaced the straplocks with a new set of Jim Dunlop ones as the old ones would come loose without warning! Very scary. Never let it drop though (phew). I'll miss this! Not in a particular hurry to sell it to hoping to get a little less than I paid for it SOLD Comes with a gigbag although I could put it in a hardcase for a little extra. I only really want to have this collected in Manchester but I might be open to shipping it for the right price.

That’s spectacular!

For sale is a relatively rare and rather unusual Italia Mondial Semi-acoustic bass, with a great big humbucker and a piezo pickup too. The humbucker is really gutsy and deep and the piezo (probably my favourite sound) is really woody and adds a very nice acoustic-like tone to the bass. It has two separate outputs for both pickups which is quite a unique feature and is similar in construction to the old Airline type guitars. It has a lovely woody sound when played through the piezo. It’s 34” scale Overall it’s in great condition apart from a few polish swirls and marks that I’ve tried to photograph (nothing through the finish though). It comes with a gigbag and is strung with Fender flats. The colour is more of a creamy/yellow than pictured. It’s great fun to play and is very different. I’m looking for £325 plus delivery.

Hi All, so up for the chop is my Cort Curbow 5 in the unusually named 'mystic orange' finish. It's in very good condition save for a few marks on one of the tuner housings and the little tab on the battery compartment that has come off but this still works as it should. Squinting at it from across the room is not getting me any closer to remembering how old it is but I'm reckoning ive had it for about 10 years. I've seen before that these can be pretty tricky to shift which is a shame because if I'm honest I think they're great instruments and I'm a big fan of the sound and the design, I just don't really play the 5's anymore (which whilst I remember in this case is E - C). Tradewise I've no idea really and am open to any and all suggestions but I'm definitely looking for 4 strings. My main bass is a p with flats so any contrasting vibes to this are welcomed. I'm also a fan of the more unusual designs, and in the unlikely eventuality that there is someone packing an unwanted yamaha samurai bass who is in the market for a very-much-orange 5 string cort curbow I would happily trade+cash in an astonishing alignment of the stars. Lined fretlesses also. feel free to fire any questions you might have my way, I have relatively solid general knowledge but am poor in the sport rounds, ta, Dan
