With an impending house move hopefully coming early in the New Year I, unfortunately, need to move a few bits on. Here is a gorgeous and highly rated late 80's Korean made thru-neck Kramer Spector NS2A in the rare ‘teal (blue/green) stain colour. I have majorly upgraded this bass, replacing the passive Spector pickups with a full active EMG set, the K-Haz preamp with a custom SNC US-Haz copy preamp (almost identical to the full US Hazlab), the black hardware with gold (heavy duty bridge, Schaller tuners and Schaller strap pins), US-style knobs and US-style crown fret marker decals. The body and thru neck are maple with a rosewood fingerboard. These original Kramer-Spector import basses (from many years before the Euro lines) have a fantastic reputation with this top of the range NS2A model often being rated as 90% the quality of the legendary full US NS2 models, with a thru-neck maple construction & similar neck profile, but for a fraction of the price - the main differences being the Spector branded passive pickups, a cheaper preamp, non-gold hardware, Rosewood rather than Pau Ferro board and 3A rather than 5A grade maple bodies! As I have said – I have gone some way to upgrading this instrument to more like the full-on US NS2 model. Being all maple (rather than a maple, walnut, alder sandwich), with an NS2 style neck profile and armed with a custom US-Haz copy pre this bass is a lot closer to the legendary US Kramer NS2 model than the more recent Euro LX models (which will cost you up to double my price)! Many well known 80's/90's rock bassists (Kip Winger, Eddie Jackson, etc) actually used these, with the EMG pickup upgrade, on recordings and 'live'! The SNC-Haz pre controls are vol (p), vol (j), bass (cut/boost) and treble (cut boost). The sound is typical spector - tight & growling - and sure to cut through any mix! See top of this page for more info on these great basses: https://2cw1d79cq4b2tsxk239w4ix1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Archived_Korean.jpg I would rate the condition as 8.5+/10 with some light surface scratches, a dew minor surface dings on the edges & nail-wear marks above the P & J pickups. Not bad for 30+ year old bass....and it plays beautifully with a nice low action and smooth, comfortable feel! Weight is only approx 3.8kgs. Price-wise, I'm looking for a VERY reasonable*SOLD* by cash on collection, Paypal (you pay all fees) or direct a/c transfer. NO trades thanks. Pickup from Guildford area or I can meet within 30 miles for petrol money. I will also courier at buyers cost (approx. £50) Please see my feedback thread (ignore the broken link in my signature below – please do a search instead!) for assurance of a clean and honest transaction.

Superb Yamaha BB2025 with Yamaha hard case, in excellent condition. This really is one of the nicest basses that I have played in terms of feel but I’ve seen something else which has come up for sale and can only consider that purchase by selling this instrument. So this is very much a feeler at the moment. Collection (within COVID guidelines) preferred although shipping at cost can be arranged. I would prefer someone to actually see the bass and be happy before parting with a large sum of money and tbh that’s what puts me off shipping. Happy to drive up to an hour from Chipping Sodbury (just north of Bristol) for a meet if needed. Shows as 9lb 7oz on my kitchen scales. Please PM me if you have any additional questions. Thanks Pete

SOLD 'Unexpectedly' I'm selling my Ibanez GWB35...as I 'unexpectedly' bought a GWB1 on a whim! I don't need both and always wanted an OG Willis. So someone can have this beast. There couple of nicks in the lacquer with a small one being on the headstock and others on the back as shown in photos. Otherwise no issues and in excellent working order. Now the best bit, all the stock electronics have been upgraded for a custom Nordstrand Dual Coil with exposed pole pieces and the preamp was changed to a BeePre (from Bee Basses). I have owned 2 of these basses, one stock and this beast which has a much improved full warm or dynamic tone, a more musical usable range, considerably more output and extremely quiet, but all of this should go without saying with the quality of the upgrades. The control cavity was enlarged and fully shielded with copper foil to fit the new pre and controls, but it still fits underneath the original cover plate. Controls were switched from a single volume and a stacked treble/bass to following: Single volume (with push/pull for active/passive) Mid boost/cut (with push/pull to change the frequency) Stacked treble/bass boost/cut Series/parallel switch Mute switch The pickup is a custom Nordstrand Dual Coil. A 5 string model wound with the pole pieces closer together that fit in their standard 4-string pickup cover for the Dual Coil as it is the same size as the stock pickup. This was not a cheap upgrade and took time for the custom model to be produced, but it has helped this bass turn into the beast that it is. For more information on upgrades check out respective websites: Bee Pre-Amp https://www.beebasses.com/ Nordstrand https://nordstrandaudio.com/pages/custom-options Videos Video of bass being played Another short video of bass being played This bass is effortless to play and I will be gutted to see it go as for many years it was my sole bass.

Musicman Stingray Special 2020 Firemist Silver, roasted maple board, totally amazing bass, so gutted to sell it, but it's either the basses or my soul, and the devil has that already! 8.5lbs as new condition, original case. No trades thanks... Being cashless reason for sale. NOW SOLD

SOLD

You sir should be banned from the forum just because you have such nice stuff and I'm not jealous in any way honestly guv lol Seriously though what a lovely bass glwts

Awesome looking Spector with solid maple wings! I also only heard great things about the SNC-Haz that gets you super close to the sound of the Haz 9V for a fraction of the price. I mentioned in another thread that I have maxed out my credit card for this month, so I am out out until the 14th. I am sure it will be gone by then but if not, then I may get tempted 😎 £800 is a ridiculously low price for such such a killer package. It is pretty much a NS-2 for less than what people charge for an used Euro! GLWTS 👍

Suggest we get this thread back on track - Damn nice bass, and I`m sure it will make its way to a new owner one way or the other! 😉

Can't say fairer than that! And @walshy is a thoroughly trusted seller in my book.

Withdrawn Here is a 1977/78 Fender Precision in factory natural finish, as far as I’m aware it is stock Fender however the scratchplate is not original to the bass. This was bought by myself as the scratchplate it was sold to me with was a replacement part. The electrics haven’t been messed about with and the pickup is stock. The original switchcraft output Jack is a little scratchy but easily replaced. Neck is straight and true. I have added pictures of the neck butt, neck pocket and internals. The only replacement parts I can see are the Dunlop strap buttons. The white scratchplate is a Fender from the late 70’s and fits perfectly. The bass also comes with a Fender case of this era. I’m keeping this I’ll never get one in as good condition with a manageable weight.

The newer version of the Sterling Ray 34 with the roasted maple neck. I've changed the pickup to a Seymour Duncan SMB-4D, but no idea what I did with the stock one. Comes with the stock gig-bag (in the pics) and recently had a set up with roundwounds. Only selling as I have a MM Stingray Classic, so this doesn't get used anymore. Been used and has a few expected marks on it, but mainly on the scratchplate etc as you'd expect. Happy to post in these unusual times, but doorstep collection isn't an issue either. These seem to be over £850 new, so priced to sell 🙂

This model is finished in Olympic White and has a cool contrasting Black pickguard. I purchased it new last year and have only had chance to gig it a few times before lockdown. Consequently it is in first class, near new condition with no scratches or dings. Comes complete with its original Fender gig bag. Fender says:A slim and playable maple neck has a C-profile and a Pau Ferro fingerboard with a contemporary 12” radius which allows the player creative freedom and maximum expression as they construct their basslines. Two Vintage voiced Noiseless single coil pickups deliver a preferred tone with no background hum. Active electronics give you a powerful onboard 3 band EQ for shaping your sound as you play. The active circuit can be turned off completely via a mini toggle switch: this gives you even more sounds at your fingertips! This is a great chance to get a bass in near new condition for significantly less than the new price. (New cost at Guitarguitar £899).

They say nostalgia is not what it used to be. Except perhaps in the case of te amps. There are some fab modern amps but I'm not sure they're better than these, just different...
