Mint condition Gretsch LSB comes with a brand new Gretsch hard case £160. weight just under 8 lbs

NOW SOLD For sale is an early GB Spitfire 5-string. As lovely as it is, I find myself gravitating back to my Laklands, so I’ve decided to put it up for grabs. It’s 35” scale, 19mm spacing at the bridge, and weighs in at a very comfy 4.1kg. Let me start by saying that this is still, in the main, a lovely bass. I bought it on here a little while ago, and it came to me with a recently re-finished neck, but the body was still in need of a little work, showing a few dings, chips and cracks in the lacquer commensurate with its age, as well as some fading in the finish. As all of us will know, there’s a long-standing tradition with musicians the world over to tinker with their instruments. I like to work on my basses, mainly by doing my own set-ups, or to experiment by installing new pickups, preamps etc., usually with reasonable success. I rarely go much further, as that generally requires specialist equipment and a level of skill and patience that I lack! However, Bernie’s pickups and preamp have a very particular tone, so I thought, “I could fit some new pickups and a different preamp if I route the cavities a smidge - what’s the worst that can happen?” and got my Dremel out. The result is a bass that now has much greater tonal variety IMHO, but now has some additional cosmetic issues with the body, thanks to the routing bit working free of the drill on two separate occasions and causing a bit of damage, which I've tried to show in the photos. The accuracy of the pickup routing leaves a bit to be desired as well, if I’m honest. I've fitted a new pair of Nordstrand Big Singles, and a second-hand John East Uni-pre 3-band preamp with a passive tone control and a low battery indicator, which came out of another bass I bought a while back. The original GB pickups and preamp are also included in the sale. The various issues are reflected in the price I’m asking, and as the body was in need of a refinish anyway, perhaps it’s not too much of a disaster - a relatively small investment could bring it back to its former glory in the hands of someone who actually knows what they’re doing! If you're not unduly concerned about the cosmetics, it's a playing great bass as it stands, of course. I’ll put up a YouTube video shortly so you can see how it plays and sounds. There’s no case included, but as the neck is a snug fit, and attached with threaded allen bolts making it a breeze to remove and re-fit, I can ship it with the neck off packed with lots of bubble wrap. UK shipping is included in the price. Sorry, but no trade offers please.

****************PRICE UPDATE******************** NOW £1,000 SHIPPED (UK)***********************European Shipping at cost So this was my first foray into the world of P Bass and I absolutely love it - however, as a solely (up until then!) 5 string player, I have now seen a 5 string PJ I want, so this has to go. Serial number suggests a 2009 build, and is in excellent condition, recently re-strung with Rotosound flats. No marks, chips, scratches, in the gloss black body, just the usual little swirls etc on the pick guard. Small scuff to rear of headstock, which you can just see in the picture. Has active/passive switching and you can pan between the P or J pickups or of course a blend of the two. Sounds just like a "traditional" P bass in passive mode panned to the P pickup, but bring the Jazz pickup in adds that extra tonal qualities. - 3 band EQ and tone control when in passive mode. - 41mm at the nut. - 18/19mm string spacing at bridge (neck through body stringing or top-load, whichever you prefer). - weight around 4.1kg. Balances nicely on the strap. - Has all the original case candy, receipts, documents etc. Case is built like a tank. PM me if interested - I can ship.

Yamaha BB-734A in translucent matte black complete with its original Yamaha gig-bag. Great basses, but needs to be moved on to someone who'll use it as I have a Yamaha BBPH, which has many similar parts including the same active/passive preamp. Set up with 100-40 round-wounds if I recall. Great condition but with a few light marks on the scratchplate, as you'd expect from a bass that's been played. Happy to post free of charge, but don't worry......... not with Hermes 🙂 Having said that, I'd happily knock a few quid off for Covid friendly collection or a nearby handover. I'm working away until Fri 9 Apr, so should it sell before then there may be a few days delay in me being able to get it sent.

Custom ordered Maruszczyk Mr Tee 5 string in mint condition, basically has had about 1 hour play. There is a story behind this bass...I ended up ordering 3 5-string Mr Tees because after the first one I was hooked, and still am; these are easily the best basses I have played. I ordered a fretted, a fretless and then a fretted piccolo. However, shortly after I received the fretless, which I had specced up to the skies including expensive piezos and preamp, I bought a Firecreek fretless on Basschat and that gives me exactly the fretless sound I was looking for. It's so perfect for what I wanted in terms of a piezo sound that I found I wasn't using the fretless Mr Tee and that seemed like a waste. I then had a brainwave: I play a lot of piccolo and wondered if the piezo on the fretless would be better suited to the piccolo. Hence, I swapped the necks and... perfect! (Before and after pics attached, the one that's for sale is the fretless with the flame maple top) The only thing that's not quite right is that the wood on the face of the headstock doesn't match the body (body is flame maple, headstock facing is Eye Poplar as it was chosen to match the original bass) but it doesn't look bad, just unusual. The piezo sound is perfect for the piccolo. So now I have a solid bodied Mr Tee with a fretless neck for sale. This is an absolute beauty and sounds incredible, the magnetic pickup is perfectly suited to the Roto Tru Bass strings that are on there and it's remarkably flexible in terms of the sounds available. Body is mahogany with a flame maple top. Neck is flame maple in a matt finish with a Macassar ebony fretboard. Full specs below as well as lots of pics. Comes with original (excellent quality) gigbig, leather strap, unworn Maruszczyk t-shirt (size small) and paperwork although the latter will be a bit confused due to the neck swap. I'm happy to share pics of the paperwork for the other bass as well so the new owner can verify authenticity. Cost was over £1300 and nowadays there'd be import duty and VAT to pay too. Given the modified nature of the bass, I think £850 now £750 plus shipping is fair? Not really looking for a trade but I'd never say never, so by all means try me - definitely don't need an amp though. https://ibb.co/58XFSmX https://ibb.co/wMdZ730 https://ibb.co/17WmT2M https://ibb.co/ygPnYKg https://ibb.co/mzxgqP1 https://ibb.co/hdGWz9y https://ibb.co/k4H4J7F https://ibb.co/jrVK65f https://ibb.co/kX9mnmq https://ibb.co/Tvh3rs7 https://ibb.co/LpPjj5W https://ibb.co/wQ1c97z https://ibb.co/zb9XWqQ https://ibb.co/QKkbvhF https://ibb.co/2gmvhgz https://ibb.co/25QFxh7 https://ibb.co/Vxgc5dd https://ibb.co/ZXMWQjC https://ibb.co/rtj926n https://ibb.co/JkBzck2 https://ibb.co/ncL3GQL https://ibb.co/M72SxH3 Type Righthand Number of Strings 4-String Scale Length Short Scale 30" Number of Frets 20 Frets Body Construction Solidbody Body Wood Mahogany Top Wood Flamed Maple Veneer Without Veneer Color Type Natural Body Binding Without Binding Body Finish Gloss Pickguard 3ply Cream Neck Wood Flamed Maple Neck Finish Matt Neck Profile Modern C Nut Width 40mm Carbon Rods No Fingerboard Wood Macassar Ebony Fretted / Fretless Fretted Side Dots Side Dots Fingerboard Inlays Without Inlay Fingerboard Radius 14'' Headstock Type Flamed Maple Headstock Finish Gloss Headstock Logo Silver Nut Black Pickup Combination Single Coil (SSC) Manufacturer Bassculture Pickup Finish Black Neck Pickup Bassculture SSC 'Black' Closed Electronics Type Passive Passive volume, tone ToneStyler Without Hardware Color Chrome Bridge Spacing 19mm Bridge Type F-Style Knobs Type Dome-Style Tuner Type Standard Y-Style Security Locks Without Security Locks String Type Nickel Nickel Strings M4DN Gigbag/Suitcase Nylon Gigbags Nylon Gigbags Standard Your T-shirt Size S Additional Comments 5 string version, hollowbody-style pickguard
