1986, Japanese, rare as rocking horse poop. Acquisitions mean it’s clear out time…not every day you accidentally buy a musicman sabre. I say accidentally… Anyhow, this bass is special. Identical to that of Tony Kanal’s “Tragic Kingdom” bass Its in very good condition for its 35 years, some buckle pressure marks on the back and tarnishing to the gold hardware. Will come in a TKL padded Gibson Bag - and will have spare pickup surrounds and a few other golden yamaha bits. I’ll get some stick for listing this - and all those who’ll give me stick will know that I just don’t hang on to gear. wearing played in GHS boomers…still a bit of life left in them… collection is preferred, but I would ship at buyers risk and cost - I suspect due to value it might be about £45. £925 NYE price drop

I am selling a very special (and quite rare) bass: an Ibanez GWB1005. It is the top of the game version of the Gary Willis fretless basses, made in Japan and currently sold first hand at 3999 euro (that's at least the cheapest price that I could find). These are the specs, as from the website of Musikproduktiv (https://www.musik-produktiv.com/gb/ibanez-gwb1005-ntf.html) : Ibanez GWB1005-NTF Body Shape: Soundgear Body Material: Swamp Ash Technology: Solid Body Colour / Finish: Natural Flat Neck construction: Bolt on neck Scale: Long scale Scale Length: 34" (864 mm) Neck: 3 piece Maple Fretboard: Ebony (*) Fretboard Inlays: Offset Dots and Lines Strings: 5-string Strings thickness ex factory: .045 - .135 Pickup type: Humbucker Bridge Pickup: Bartolini GWB Electronics: 2 Bd EQ Controls: 1x volume, bass/treble Hardware: Black Including: Hardcase & Accessoriy Set Special Features: removable finger support Country of Origin: Japan (*) I think it is ebonol in this one. Superb fretboard, in any case, and great tone. The bass is located in Bilbao (Sp), with original hardcase. A real treasure. The price is 2100 euro (1780 pounds as of today), nearly half the price you have to pay in the store. The weight of the bass is aprox. 3.5 Kg (ca. 7.8 pounds) I need to edit the ad to point out one thing: I had originally mentioned that it was in mint condition. That was indeed my memory. After checking it out I have found some mini scratches (barely three milimetres and barely visible) on top of the headstock and the usual marks on the back of the bass. Nothing spectacular, but the bass is, indeed, not mint after all. I have also been mentioned a "line" on top of the nut. It does have a narrow, thin line in there, I would say it is where the ebonol has been joined to the headstock, but I really can't tell. Or maybe it is a little line in the paint. Good detective work in finding it, in any case. It also has a hair inside of the hardcase and there are some specks of dust on the bass 🙄. In any case, there aren't any flaws in the nut, headstock or anywhere whatsoever in this bass. I own it, I have played it and it is, if not mint (which I can't say it is, of course, since it has some little marks), at the very least in very, very good condition. Best, Gorka

Can I just say I buy and sell as many guitars as Andy and I’ve never really made a profit on them, but I have played and owned some lovely basses and met some lovely people. I’ve finally managed to offload them all and keep a core few that I genuinely love. As hobbies go, it’s not a bad one to have, is it?

Unfortunately some people like the sound of their own tapping on a keyboard and can’t wait to spout crap on for sale posts. It happens a lot and we all know the main culprits. Ferk em mate

This is the best value I've ever seen on Basschat. Unreal no one has snapped it up. If I hadn't lost all my December earnings through covid I'd have it in a heartbeat.

Bought as “unused since the day it was bought”. Stands to reason its in 9.9/10 condition. One tiny mark on the back - I didn’t spot it so it may have happened in my ownership. I have swapped the bridge pickup for a Fender noiseless vintage model, when I surveyed others experiences of Aerodyne basses, the main comment was that the solo’ed bridge pickup was noisy. I also don’t feel much towards the stock chrome strat type knobs, so got some Fender pure vintage jazz knobs. All original parts will be in the deal - pickup was de-soldered at the pot, not just randomly hacked out… Also on the way is a padded fender bag as it came with the original box and nothing else… wearing brand new d’addario 45-100’s. I will include the (still ok) fender strings. Sounds warm, very clean. Collection is preferred as I’d hate a courier to have a pop at something so “new”. but shipping can be done at risk and cost.
