@ambient, please tell me you got this! It's a stunning bass and Vic is VERY nice to sell it at the same price I sold it to him for! It is undoubtedly worth more.

1964 Epiphone Rivoli, all original, in gorgeous pink-ish cherry sunburst. I bought this around 18 years ago, and have rarely used it, as mainly on a P Bass now. If you like easy playability, great retro looks and bottom end, this is for you. Made in the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo in 1964. Has the centre block like a 335 so no feedback, just BASS. Excellent clean condition, some scuffs and dings but no damage or repairs, straight neck, good frets, nickel hardware, flatwounds and an original hard case. What's not to like? £2750.00 including shipping within the UK only, please. I am not going to get a CITES for the fingerboard, or risk this bass going anywhere else. Beat group heaven!

Up for sale is my 1985 Fender Performer, the bass that Fender prefer to forget ever happened! This short-lived Fender Bass was Made In Japan in the 80s for only about a year at a time when theFender corporation was going through a lot of change. There were only a few hundred made and it was not a success but... I love it! The style is unique (you'll think it is cool or awful) and the neck, oh the neck! This is the thinnest neck you have ever seen and plays so fast. I loved it so much that when I had my custom bass built I had them use the exact same neck profile. So once I knew that the Fender Performer existed I had to have one, but I could not find one for sale anywhere in the UK. In the end I bought this one from a seller in the States who collected them. That was 2007 and it was my main gigging bass for the next 10 years. Any guitarist or bassist in the audience would always come up afterwards and say something along the lines of "Is that really a Fender?". Even the Fender logo was different for this bass! You can read more about the Fender Performer here. You can see that the condition is 'worn' 😉. All of this was done before I bought it and no cracks, chips or other damage has occurred in the last 13 years, and it is not really visible when playing anyway. Included is the owners manual, which fetches $25 on its own on ebay. It will come in the quality Hiscox hard case that is in the photos. I'm happy to ship at the buyers expense or meet if that is geographically possible. Everything is original on this and given their scarcity they come up for sale very rarely and I couldn't find another one for sale anywhere in the world at the moment! It has recently had a full professional set-up by Mansons Guitar Shop. I was previously selling this through them (and their price tag of £1100) is still attached, but took it back ahead of lockdown. I have sold on Basschat before but a long time ago (2007, to fund this very bass) so if I have got this listing wrong or omitted key information please excuse me and just ask!

Hi all NOW SOLD - Custom built Overwater Progress 3 Deluxe 5 string. AAA birds eye maple top over walnut wood body (personally chose the wood for this build). Unmarked satin finish. 5 string through neck 36" scale (18mm string spacing at the bridge). New Overwater nickel light strings. Stunning build quality and has a gorgeous neck. No fret wear, rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dots. The neck has purple heart stringers around maple (5 piece neck) with rock stable tuners. Original OW soapbar pickups with vol, pickup pan, treble, mid and bass. 9vdc active circuit - original John East electronics. As well as a standard output it has a built-in XLR balanced out to go direct to the desk etc. Built for me by Chris and Martin in 2001. Has Chris May's signature inside the electronics cover. Some black paint is scuffed on the bottom edge of the bridge and the brass saddles are a bit tarnished (I'll polish them first) Original Overwater supplied hard case included (I think it's a Hiscocks case?). I'd rather not send via a courier - I can drive to deliver with in reason or meet half way. I've had this bass since new (never thought I'd sell it), I'm very careful with all my instruments and it's been pampered all its life. Thanks for looking

Bought to support two active, gigging bands with 80 gigs in the diary between them, but it turns out that I didn't need it after all. The cancelled gigs should come off with a bit of thinners, nail polish remover or something. Otherwise in perfect condition, all fully functional. No gigbag, I'm afraid.

I know two blokes who got done for stealing a calendar. They got six months each.
