A very rare imported Yamaki Performer Bass, circa 1979 (Japan). Glossy one-piece solid maple neck, sunburst solid wood body, looks like one-piece ash with lovely deep grain. 3-ply black pickguard. Unique (Epochal) geared truss rod (neck is arrow straight), takes a standard allen key to adjust. 41mm nut. Weighs a back friendly 3.9kg. Built like a tank. Made in the Yamaki factory, to the highest quality. These are of the same standard to Tokai (Hardpuncher), Greco or Squire JV instruments of the same vintage. There isn’t much info online about these basses, so researching them doesn’t take long. But to summarise: The Yamaki factory made high quality Fender and Gibson bass and guitar copies between mid 70s and mid 80s. These were sold in the UK and Europe branded as JooDee or Daion. Yamaki guitars (Strat and Les Paul’s) get a lot of love, and sell for between £500-600. In very good condition for a 40+ year old bass. Pickups are hot, punchy and growly. Everything is original afaik, and everything is fully working. Sounds great acoustically, a ton of sustain. A monster amplified. Comes with hardcase. For sale only. £295 including postage (to mainland UK only).

Here are some pictures:

As new MM SR. Made 2019. Bought by myself from Bass Direct earlier this year. The pictures don’t do the sparkle finish justice. Not gigged due to lockdown so essentially as new condition. Complete with hardcase.

I am selling two bitsa basses that I put together over the last few years. This one is a P bass. I have over £550 in materials invested in this bass so I am selling it at a loss. I just want to move it on so that I can start on the next builds I have planned. The the body and the neck are painted in nitrocellulose from a rattle can. The finish on the body is not 100% perfect and there are a few tiny rub throughs of the shoreline gold. Perfect for a relic finish if you are into that kind of thing. The body I assume is alder but I'm not an expert. I stripped it and refinished it. The neck is from Allparts and was brand new. I sanded it and painted it with the satin Nitro. 38mm nut. The neck is quite chunky. Machine heads - Schaller Pick up - Unknown Bridge - Gotoh OEM style Weight on my not very accurate bathroom scales = 4kg Gig Bag included Any questions please ask. Location is Exeter. I would rather not post as I don't have a hard case for it. Happy to meet up (safely) within reasonable distance.

£800 price drop down to £3200!!! I might be interested in a partial trade with cash my way for something more portable. Will need to be in excellent condition and of a high calibur (Barefaced, Aguilar, PJB etc.) Not interested in Ashdown unfortunately. £3200 cash is much preferred. The head is the absolute flagship from Mesa, the retail on these was a shade over £3600. It has eight KT88 Mesa branded valves for power with two Mesa 12AX7 and one Mesa 12AT7 valves for the pre-amp. The volume is nothing short of disgusting. I once, for a brief moment, got it to half volume and I nearly died in the process, the room actually quaked, that is genuinely no exaggeration. Suffice to say that headroom is not an issue for the 465w this thing puts out. You can run the power section at low (125w), medium (250w) and high (465w) so you can still generate those awesome valve tones at low volume. The EQ section is basically the same as the Mesa 400+ amps with some tweaks to close those gaps in tunable frequency. There's a 5 way 'voice' dial for some very useable pre-sets and the graphic EQ is bypassable if you prefer. The cabs are both Mesa Vintage Powerhouse cabs, both 4x10 and both 600w. Each has a horn switch and one has a switch and horn attenuator. I have 2 absolutely top end speakon to jack cables I'll include too to run the rig at peak efficiency. Both cabs have Mesa trak-lok castors that means the cabs roll very easily and can be removed in seconds for secure stacking. This is a staggering rig, arguably the best rig that any amount of money could buy. The cabs each retailed at £1300 a piece so the full RRP would be in excess of £6200. Proper Mesa Boogie Covers for the cabs and head will be included. This rig is absolutely immaculate and may as well be new. Near 50% less than RRP and it is absolutely mint with a few hours of use. Essentially apart from it being in my house, it's new. This is probably the only time you'll be able to buy this rig in absolutely brand new condition. Shipping is almost entirely out of the picture as the full rig weights about 114kg (250lbs), though if you are willing to pay and organise this I will help to the very best of my ability to facilitate it. Collection is the best option. I am willing to drive to meet if that's preferred, this can be negotiated depending on the time and distance involved. So that's it, the best amp you'll ever see! (Subjective I suppose!!) Based in Wickford, Essex. Any questions, let me know.

2020 Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precision in brand new condition, still has clear plastic film on the pickguard. Threaded saddles. Lovely amber tinted neck. Pickup is punchy and beefy. Fender strings. Got the bass as a backup to my Fender Sting P bass, however with the covid-19 situation it doesn’t look like I’m likely to be using it anytime soon, which is the only reason I’m selling this beauty, plus I've been told I can’t have both my Sting bass and this. Sadly, one has to go (the Mrs has spoken). Sale only, no trades, thanks. £275 posted to UK mainland only.

The Joshwah is something I’d like to try sometime. Maybe @GisserD will buy it as he’s on a serious filter binge.

I have one in black - surprisingly good bass for the money. Up there with any entry level basses IMO. Just wish that "cheap" basses were this good when I started playing. GLWTS

NOW ONLY SELLING ONE! THE ORANGE/REDDISH ONE ON THE RIGHT WITH THE GLOCKENLANG PRE-AMP - £1950. Well, what can I say about these apart from a small piece of me will die if they sell... It simply doesn't get better than a Custom De Gier Elevation 6 string bass... wait, yes it does! When there's two of them! Having spoken to Sander De Gier, these are 2 of his personal favourite builds. They are absolutely top of the line, amazingly detailed top AND back woods, matching headstock caps front and rear, set necks, incredibly comfortable necks, one with an Aguilar OPB-3 pre-amp, one with a Glockenlang pre-amp, both with custom wood enclosed Häussel Big Mag pick ups. These are fantastically light weight for a 6er, circa 4kg give or take (will weigh them, and measure spacing tomorrow). Both are 34" scale and both are 99% immaculate. Basses of this calibre would cost you around €4000 a piece from Sander today, so this is almost a buy-one-get-one-free scenario. I may entertain selling one, only if the other also finds a home, if you do some fairly complex math you'll find that half of £4000 is £2000, so that'll be the price for one. I have one custom made leather De Gier case that Sander had made for the Elevation series. This will come with the basses, I also have another high quality gig bag for the other. Fully insured postage is circa £40 a piece, I will send them in separate consignments to avoid potential damage, so shipping is £80 for the pair or collection from Basildon, Essex if you prefer. I can meet somewhere if needed for petrol. It is heartbreaking to sell these and I may end up withdrawing them. These are up there with the absolute best of basses that the world has to offer, truly remarkable things. Now, off to cry...

If only I had the money…and the space to keep it, and somebody to lift it all in and out of the van I'd have to buy. So much for that sweet dream!

I'm still searching for one! 😂 If I added another Head it would be about right.

I like the Roger Mellie one. I hadn't heard of De Gier. I now want one of his Soulmate basses. GLWTS ... and the house.

If you set it up so the cabs are facing each other and are about 2 foot apart while running it at full volume, it will vaporizer anything you put between them. This is why I don't have a cat anymore.

@bassfan. i will withdraw mine now mate. It’s all yours.
