Hello Basschatters Time to move on my CS Precision... This is a '64 CS Heavy Relic which means the finish is pretty battered, as you can see. It's reasonably light at about 9lb, currently wearing (and set up for) Dunlop Super Bright 45-105s which I think suit P's very well and give a fairly easy action while retaining some weight. Not pictured (because it's been in the loft since the day I bought this new about four years ago) is the unused CS case plus a complete set of untouched case candy and the CS certificate. I will replace the Dunlop strap locks with the original buttons prior to sale. I've gigged it quite a bit and always enjoyed it but my tastes have changed somewhat and I have two other P's anyway. It sounds like a Precision should, I think - if you've read this far you'll have a good idea of what you're after. I am willing to discuss the following trades: * £2250 ovno in folding readies * A Fender Custom Shop Jazz, ideally Relic or Closet Classic in white or sunburst, or a CS Geddy Lee * (my ideal solution) a Yamaha Attitude Limited III, possibly a II depending on colour UK deals only please. Based north Worcs and happy to travel / meet as necessary. Thanks very much for looking! Wiggybass

It's with heavy heart that I put this bass up for sale, but needs must (with redundancy and a future house-move on the cards). In great condition for its' age, and a lovely player, with gorgeous vintage sound There are a few dinks and dings on the bass, including a 2mm x 1.5mm x 1mm dink on the back of the neck, around fret 11 - easily filled, though it never bothered me actually. There's a light "bloom" of buckle rash in the usual place, which isn't easy to photograph. The main thing to say about this bass, is that it's otherwise in great condition given it's approaching 40 years old. Somehow, this bass just feels and sounds absolutely awesome - it has a real vintage tone and feel. These basses are rated very highly by people who own and play them, and you have to try one to understand quite why. It's the best feeling and sounding P bass I've ever played. With the job situation being as it is, I have to sell something (not urgently - so no daft offers please) - I just need to thin the herd, as we will be moving house within the next 8 - 10 months, and are down-sizing. I'm gigging with another P bass these days - only because it is slightly lighter weight, and is another great bass. I can no longer justify 3x P basses, plus my P/J Limelight. I may even list another P over the coming days, and keep this one.... as I'm so torn It weighs in at just a shade over 4kg - so is no boat anchor. Like I say, I've got 2 other P's which are lighter - though neither is in my favourite 3TSB, Rosewood, Tort combo. Mrs S said to me the other day "Do you really need two basses the same colour?" of my Roadworn Jazz! I had the bass set up, including a light fret-dress & level, by A-strings of Treforest, near Pontypridd. The frets are in good condition, with plenty of life left in them. I believe everything else is original on the bass (as I was told by the previous BC owner). I did change the control knobs for an old 70's set, as they were in better condition (re the chrome) It's currently wearing a set of worn-in Thomastik Flats. It came with some Dunlop flats, and I tried several other strings, but decided it just felt better with the TI's. I can let you have the Dunlops, or a new set of rounds if you prefer? But I'll leave the TI's on, as they just seem to suit the bass Based in North Cardiff - but I can meet somewhere half way, as I've got amp headphones and a battery amp (Roland) to test at the ubiquitous Motorway services / pub Please note I am NOT looking for any trades at all, and would prefer not to post (abroad or UK) - I also want you to try this bass, and fall for it, like I did, and to know that you've got it safely in your hands In this moment of madness, as I'm typing this, I may decide to either sell another bass instead, or else change my mind completely.... lol I'm asking slightly less than what I paid for it, given that I had the work done on the bass

Trace Elliot AH350SM - With UV Backlight - £249 £225 Shipped Mainland UK, or collection from Chorley Lancashire. Sounds great - in good condition for the age, a few nicks in the cover here and there. Specifications 350W amplifier output at 4 ohms. Switchable active / passive input jack. Input gain control with signal peak LED. Pre Shavpe 1:+6dB at 50Hz and 2kHz, -6dB at 400Hz. Pre-Shape 2: +5dB at 100Hz, +3dB at 3kHz and -5dB at 650Hz. 7 graphic EQ with panel switch and master volume control.

So, wasn’t sure if I’d ever sell this one but seeing as my CAR ‘69 hasn’t sold ill put this up and whichever goes first I’ll keep the other one. This is a 1969 Fender Precision Bass that is almost all original. The scratch plate is a new one and this could well be a refin, but carried out a long time ago. Looks more like custard colour now. Had a partial refret too. Strung with La Bella Flats. It’s an amazing bass for 50yrs Old! Comes complete with authentic fag burns on headstock😂 Weight 3.8kg Nut 40mm It sounds pretty aggressive compared to the CAR and plays beautifully. Truss Rod works and has no issues at all. Please come and try anytime and it’s sale only, no trades. Any questions or more pics let me know and I’ll get back to you. Paul

SOLD

Ibanez SRFF805 fanned fret 5 string. Excellent bass, really easy to play and nice and light - only selling as I’ve recently made a big purchase and need to thin the herd so no trades sorry ! Comes with a gig bag so collection preferred but will pack up well if you wish to pay the postage. Ash Body The Ibanez SRFF805’s body is crafted from incredibly lightweight ash wood, offering excellent comfort with the ability to play all night long without shoulder strain. The ash tonewood provides a sweet, airy twang, with plenty of resonance for singing chords and powerful punching notes. Its firm lows, pleasing highs, and slightly scooped midrange suits a range of playing styles, but favours the harsh strikes of metal players. Neck & Fingerboard The eye-catching body is coupled with a 5-piece jatoba/walnut neck, offering comfort and stability while protecting against warping or twisting over time. Unlike other Ibanez basses, the SRFF805 5 String Bass features a panga panga fingerboard, which is a more sustainable tonewood than the commonly used rosewood. Panga panga is very similar to wenge and rosewood in both looks and tone. This substitute tonewood adds warmth and resonance to the overall tone, and provides a smooth platform for the left hand. Multi-Scale Function Provides Versatility A unique feature of this Ibanez Bass Workshop instrument is its innovative fingerboard design, including angled frets for a versatile tone choice. The ergonomic construction coordinates with the player's hand angle, providing a quick and smooth playing function. This versatile fingerboard offers the playability of a 35.5" scale bass, along with the comfort, and punchy tone of a 34" scale. Bartolini Pickups The Ibanez SRFF805 is equipped with a set of Bartolini pickups, with its dual coil design delivering a wide frequency range with definition and superb accuracy. Both pickups offer an incredibly balanced string-to-string pickup response, delivering a warm, soundscape with a tight bottom end and a full midrange. 3-Band EQ With EQ Bypass Switch One of the most unique features of this 5-string bass guitar is the 3-band EQ, featuring an EQ bypass switch to shape and craft the tone of your guitar with maximum control. With controls over treble, mid, and bass, the 3-band EQ lets you to mould every nuance of your sound to find the perfect tone for your playing. The bypass switch flicks between the original and affected tone, letting you experiment and create a range of tonal possibilities. Mid-Frequency Select Switch In addition to 3-band EQ, the SRFF805 also features a mid-frequency select switch, letting you instantly switch between 250Hz, 450Hz, and 700Hz, the heart of the mid zone, to create a more dynamic and ideal tone when needed.

Beautiful, just beautiful. I love it when a plan comes together.

I am involved in a long and winding search for an elusive octave sound. It is probably that synthy, bouncy sound the OC-2 is famous for. I have reached the TC Subnup which is a fine pedal with poly and mono options and of course the Toneprint setting which allows much variation. But it doesn't quite do that thing, the thing I'm after. I noticed the Valeton OC-10 is the same price as the Subnup and I haven't tried it yet. Anyone want a trade?

You say "This is a 1969 Fender Precision Bass that is almost all original. The scratch plate is a new one and this could well be a refin" it might be worth getting a professional opinion on whether the finish is original or not as this will greatly effect the value of your bass GLWS
