Stunning and mint ..very low action flamed maple amber burst. I think these are about 2300 new. This is I think a 2003 but I will double check. Comes with hard case . Really beautiful. Great for slap

:SOLD: 1960 Silvertone 1444 dolphin nose Bass All original Single-coil lipstick pickup, 30” short scale neck, A thick Brazilian rosewood 24 fret fingerboard, Semi-hollow Masonite body, Single 4 post Danelectro "Skate Key" Tuning Machines. These are the ones used on higher-end model guitars from 1958 to 1969. They are in good working order. It even has the headstock logo which is very rare! Retro heaven! Superb playing and sounding very usable bass made by Danelectro for Sears department stores USA. I bought this little beauty for a 1950/60`s theatre show that due to all the Covid shite has been abandoned. It`s far too good to sit around so here it is up for grabs to some lucky person. It`s in lovely condition for a 61yr old instrument. There is one small ingenious mod to the bridge that is easily removed, It just keeps the ball ends in nice and snug to the bridge as shown in pics. This really is a must have for anyone playing Rock and Roll or sixties retro music! Although saying that this little cracker can handle any genre (it even slaps). Comes with an old but non original hard case. Open to sensible offers........

Mint condition case candy unopened slight gap in scratch plate to control but that's how it came from factory typically fender ! Lovely very low action no issues please collect from great Yarmouth.

Spector Spectorcore with chambered maple topped body weighing 3.5kg and a lined ebony fingerboard, 35” scale. Amberburst gloss finish. EMG pickup and Fishman piezo bridge. Strung with LaBella low tension flats. Good condition, one screw missing on back access plate, it broke early on and the plate is marked where I had get the screw out. See photo. Would consider a trade for a reasonably lightweight Precision, not necessarily Fender, either fretted or fretless 4 string preferred but not necessarily. Open to suggestions.

Guitar now SOLD !, 26 Sep 2021 Thanks to all who've expressed interest 😉 Neck date of late Dec 1982 Fender Jazz Bass, 3 Colour Sunburst Finish (62 Vintage Model), serial V003173. Weighs in at 9.5lbs and is in nice condition apart from a few minor lacquer blemishes on the back of the neck. Comes with a hard case (not Fender) and was recently authenticated, tested and valued by Andertons in Guildford where I bought it from in the early 90s. It's hardly been used in the last 20 years due to increasing neuropathy in my left hand 🥵. It's priced to be mid range of the valuation given by Andertons, so no daft low bids please ! Also please expect extra £30+/- for courier to UK or £75 +/- for overseas. This is a private sale.

Lovely American Special P bass, that was converted to fretless with a thick slab of ebony by a previous owner. Finish is the ‘hand-rubbed’ nitro satin honeyburst, that I believe there was only a short run of for Guitar Center in the US. The fretless mod was done (I think) by Brook guitars in Devon (that’s from memory - could be wrong). It was done really nicely, onto the original neck, even preserving the original nut. As well as that mod, I’ve done a bunch of upgrades, to try and get it close the Tony Franklin signature fretless. It now has a Hipshot Kickass bridge, Hipshot USA Ultralite tuners, a Jazz pickup, DiMarzio DP126 pickup set (that’s the Model P and Model J - Tony has the Model J in his original I think) and Dunlop strap locks. It has the original volume and tone (tone is Greasebucket as far as I know, which I really like), plus a 3 way switch for either pickup or both - again functionally the same as the 3 way slider on the TF. All work done by Chris McIntyre here in Edinburgh, so top quality. I don’t have the weight right now - will add later - but it’s not heavy. Around 9lbs I think. I’m told the body is 1.8” thinner than a usual P, plus obviously I have the Ultralites on there, which also means it balances perfectly on a strap now. Good opportunity to get something very close to the Tony Franklin signature fretless P bass, for a fraction of the price, in a great finish. It has a few little marks on the body (that finish makes it a bit easier for that to happen - can do closeups for anyone interested, plus a bit of wear and 1 scratch on the scratchplate (that is what they’re for eh?) - but condition excellent other than that. Neck is immaculate. Only selling as I have a case of GAS for something else. In an ideal world I’d have both!

Got any Os?

ee's are good...

This is a fantastic work bass with white front and side LEDs . It has a 3 band Glock preamp and standard string space. It's a Matt white which is really nice. There are no dings there are one or two faded spots size of a 5p but it is hardly noticeable. Nice low action and nice player. No trades please just looking for a sale and collect. It comes in a abs case also in good condition.

Hello this bass is mint unplayed case candy unopened. Have cocktail glasses inlays. Was around 3k new. I think you can still get a new version at this price. Collect only not looking for trade but offers close to asking are always welcome. How sweet is this ...

Did a deal on this with a good friend, but we had to call it off. So, it’s now back with me for another half-hearted attempt to part with it! it’s a wonderful jazz V, that I love but don’t really need, which is why I’ve not resorted to eBay yet. Which will probably be my next step as I’d like to put the cash elsewhere. It has a great sound and it plays like a dream. The action is low the length of the fretboard without any buzzes or rattles. It really is very well setup and very stable. It’s typical Sandberg quality, handmade in Germany and features a Norwegian maple neck, cedar body, aluminium hardware, Black Label pickups coupled with Sandberg’s usual 2 band EQ. The volume pot also acts as a push/pull to bypass the preamp and run in passive mode. It weighs in at 2.9kg, but balances exceptionally well. The weight savings run across the bass. It is NOT a case of lightweight body but everything else remains the same. It balances very well, just happens to be significantly lighter than average! I can include an as-new Music Area aa35 case, which is a hard case/gigbag hybrid, costing £160 new, as well as the Sandberg gig bag. Trades, please message me. Particularly interested in other Jazz 5s alongside cash, or short scales.

That's a huge piece of temptation gone.

That was me, and yes I had the bass converted to fretless by Brook Guitars. They did a fabulous job, and this is a very good bass. The former, they are on the "fret". It's a right proper slab of ebony on this bass.
