Hi folks G&L SB-1 from 1991. Has some nice wear to it - but all cleaned up and with incredible low action. Neck is dead straight and truss rod works well. Currently wearing Labella flats (760FX) but will also come with a set of D'addario Cobalt Flats which have been on for 10 minutes. Beautiful sounding P bass - the MFD pickup jus sings and the tone control can take you from vintage thump to snappy sizzle. When I bought it the shielding was poor so it's been fully reshielded and a new jack installed so it's now quiet as a mouse. Collection only from York or nearby (can deliver to a reasonable distance of halfway point). No case but can include a brand new Fusion Urban Gig Bag (black) for an extra £120. Any questions please let me know - there's a clip of it here (played with Cobalt Flats) Cheers ped https://soundcloud.com/chris-hiscocks/cams-jam

I have to get my ducks in a row. I might list the White Jazz too at some point. I’m playing less and less, the band isn’t moving forward. I have a relentless set of bills and with no lottery win on the way... I got this last year. A plan 20 years in the making. Cost me a great bass and a bank loan to get it. Its a 2001 flea, the badass, gotoh machine heads, Duncan/Modulus pickup, Aguilar preamp. some minor dinks and knocks (but nothing shocking) and looks ridiculously lovely - very hard to photograph as I never managed to capture its loveliness. the case is battered, but original. I’d prefer collections. but will post at buyers risk and cost (insured only). Can’t believe I’m doing this - but, please...please don’t tell me I’m mad etc. It’s stinging enough as it is...

Sounds like you should go with it I hear Italy is nice at this time of year

PRICE REDUCED to £550 Here’s a cracking bass which has been shamefully underused in the past 5 years, hence the sale. It’s a Bassline Buster Classic, made in Germany in 1996. Bassline are a small, custom bass company based in Germany. The new price of this would’ve been circa £1600. A few years ago I contacted Bassline directly who were ace to give me the following wood specs: Body european ash, hardmaple neck, and a padouk fingerboard It has LeFay pickups and a Noll 2-band EQ with controls for Volume (push/pull for passive mode), Bass, Treble and Pickup Pan. Nut Width is 38mm and there’s a ‘Zero’ fret. It also has Neutrik locking jack socket and Schaller strap locks (with 2 positions at the bridge end to quickly jump between heights which conveniently also makes it stable resting on the floor). It’s in ace condition, although I’d note there’s a tiny indent on the scoop up to the fingerboard past the 24th fret and few marks on the lower horn and body edge where I knocked the bass over after posting this ad (see photos in comments). All minor and character adding in my opinion - like us all it’s lived! Playability wise, it has he slimmest, fastest neck I’ve ever encountered. It’s also super lightweight (3.7kg) so along with the fast neck you can keep going for hours. I don’t have a gig bag but the bass will be shipped very securely in a Fender cardboard bass box, within hand-carved polystyrene protection. Any questions or you’d like a test drive, feel free to pop me a message! Tim

Very clean, all original Warwick for sale. Flamed maple body and neck. Wenge fingerboard. Frets in great shape. Great player. Stunning neck. 4.2 kgs on the bathroom scales. Original strap locks and Ernie Ball strap included in the sale. I’m happy to deliver the bass an hours radius from here. Located in sunny Swindon.

What????? You can't get rid of the SB1 - you'll regret it! 😥

Do what you like, sounds like you tend to anyway.

Up for sale is my latest impulse buy and first of my small Fender collection... A Fender Standard Precision bass, made in Mexico in 2010 (the start of a good run apparently), finished in Lake Placid Blue with a rosewood fretboard. This one has been modded to recreate the classic 60's look. I've always loved Lake Placid Blue and when this came up for sale the day after I'd sold my Squier VM, all the good intentions I had for that cash went straight out of the window. By the time it was in the post, a plan had been made (to make it look like an American Original '60s Precision) and the parts list written - Brown Tort Scratchplate KiOgon Loom Generic Bridge Cover Fender Pickup Cover Upon arrival I was really pleased with the condition of the bass. It was exactly as described, with just a few very small marks that are hard to find, but overall in absolutely superb condition. Weight - 4.1kg on bathroom scales It came fitted with a replacement vintage bridge (described as Fender but I can't confirm) which looks great so stayed and new strings, also in great nick and still on the bass. The white scratchplate was also a replacement, swapped by the previous owner, as the original which was discoloured. The bass was the owners back-up to his recently acquired US Precision, so wasn't being used anymore. It was pretty dusty and in needing of a setup, which I did prior to upgrading the bass. The truss works fine and action is set pretty low. Upon plug-in there was a severe intermittent signal loss problem. Taking the plate off revealed an earlier bit of rewiring, in the form of a new pot and extra earth wire. Not sure if it was a dodgy solder or a faulty socket, either way that loom is in the bin, replaced with a flawless KiOgon loom connected to the original pickups. It sounds lovely, classic P bass. I've rolled the fretboard edges and lightly sanded the neck, something I wish I'd known about years ago. Annoyingly, I've made two marks in the lacquer, but these are just visual, the neck is very smooth. I've also installed a small shim (business card thick), as I like to the get action as low as possible without having the saddle screws cutting up my hand. While the bass was stripped, I give it a deep clean and polish, soaked the fretboard in lemon oil, then bolted it all back together with the new parts (and have progress pics if the buyer is interested). Its up for sale because, as I working on it, I come to the sad realisation that I'm never going to get on with the Fender fretboard radius. So, I've decided to sell 3 of my 4 Fenders, keeping only an old Bitsa which is too cracking to part with, and invest in an another Sandberg, possibly a VS, VT or VM Cash on collection is always much preferred from Eastbourne, East Sussex BN22, but I will ship in a gig bag and box at buyers risk, cost and arrangement. Payment method for shipping to be agreed. Thanks for looking! Coming to the BC Marketplace soon...* a MiM Fender Classic Series '60s Jazz PJ with stacked knob KiOgon loom a mint condish MiJ Fender Classic Series 70s Precision with bound maple board and blocks! Not the black one *Mods, I have a yearly sub & Ped's approved this bit.

I can't believe this is still here at this price! Such a useful pedal and the best bass synth on the market. I was close to selling mine and after downloading some of quatschmachers patches,I can't be without it 😁

If you're on FB, post it on the Rickenfakers forum. I've got a Retrovibe bass and also their bass pickups in the bass half of a doubleneck. I have to say I kindof pooped on David's parade when he said he was doing those LP basses as an example of putting Ric pickups on things and I posted my Rickenberger...
