Good morning everyone Up for sale is the 1982 G&L L2000e I bought from @ped. (His original listing can be seen at https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/459104-sold-gl-l2000e-1982-blackmaple-ohsc) This was a great love affair, and I invested heavily into this bass as a result. It sounds fabulous. I am a fan of these humbuckers. Unfortunately, this bass's neck profile (thin front to back) and nut width is just not working out for me at lengthy rehearsals. I had hoped it would be different, but I'm just plain used to Jazz nut width necks. Anyway.... There is not a single inch of this bass that I do not know intimately. I have cleaned it top to bottom; everything has been cleaned and polished. The tuners and bridge, as well as the exposed pickup poles, benefited hugely from this. I had some fretwork done, and then when I wanted to sort out some wear on the maple fingerboard, I paid to have it re-lacquered and re-fretted with same fret size/type as original. Plays beautifully and has a low setup with a straight neck. The truss rod is fully working. I stumped up for new knobs. The old ones are included in the sale price for their 'mojo', but I quite like the cleaner look of the new ones. I paid to have the rusty control plate and bridge cleaned and re-painted. They look great now, and function as expected. The electronics were serviced and work as you would expect. I will mention that the white preamp toggle switch rotates a little bit inside the switch itself, which is exactly as it is when I bought it, but it works fine, so I have not replaced it. The body I was planning a possible refinish for but ultimately decided against it. It had a large divot carved out where 40 years of a thumb resting between the pickups had carved out a spot, but I opted to have a ramp made to cover this, which also suits my play style. It is attached with double sided stick tape and easily removed. I have shown Ped's original photo of this for context. There are numerous bits of finish thinning, some surface scratches, multiple dings, and similar. I have photographed all that I can find. Nonetheless it has polished up well and looks great. It is a bass with 40 years of mojo! Comes in the original hard shell case and a printout of the instructions. Weight 10.3 lbs. In spite of my considerable investment, I have listed it at the same price Ped originally did. Happy to discuss offers. (As an aside, I bought lightweight G&L USA tuners for it too which fit perfectly, but which I am selling separately here - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/463686-gl-usa-ultralite-tuners-x-4-bass-sideright-hand-side/) Now £1450 plus shipping to the interested buyer. Pete NB The neck is a bit more vintage tint than these photos seem to show; I suppose it will depend on your monitor. However hopefully they demonstrate its grain and beauty well. And here's what it looks like without the ramp in place - one of Ped's original pictures.

Well…inevitably buyers regret has sank in. If I were wealthier I’d keep this as it’s lovely. Bought when the vino was flowing…always a key time for bass purchases 🙄 A great example of the 50’s Classic Precision (Now Vintera series). 9lb 7oz. Includes Gig Bag Plays superbly - wearing half rounds, but can be restrung with EB rounds if you’d prefer. Covers are present as is thumb rest. A previous owner has drilled the bridge cover holes - they’re a little off. I’ve checked with the cover present and they would be invisible if you decided to drill it correctly. I am happy to do that FOC if you wanted. Generally Very clean for a 2015 bass. Some minor dinks but nothing shocking at all. Sounds lovely - quite focussed but still very warm. Always thought the burst was the quintessential 57 type P. Anyhow - postage is possible at your risk/cost. £25 in UK (more insured) but I do have a reputation for over packing gear so it takes 2 hours to get into it. Cheers Trav x

I am selling this beautiful Marleaux mBass, made in Germany, 2017. The instrument is overall in very good condition with no major dents or scratches. It is a perfectly well balanced instrument, super comfortable to play with many wonderful tone options thanks to the PUs that can be dialed in in parallel, series or single coil mode. The bass sounds perfect in passive mode (default, with passive tone knob) and has the trusty Marleaux 2-Band EQ on board (stacked Treble/Bass knob). Fretwork is second to none allowing a super low setup without fret buzz. The oak veneer on the the back of the headstock impedes any dead spots, fretboard edges were rolled off by Gerald Marleaux for super comfy playing. Each string resonates evenly with the B-string being super present and full, as you would expect from a 35" bass (this one having 33,5"). The offer includes the very sturdy and mint Canto Gigbag, the original certificate, as well as Schaller security locks. Specs: Ca. 4000 g Body: Alder w/ walnut toneblock Top: walnut Neck/fretboard: Maple (5-stripes), super dark ebony Custom Inlay, 12th fret Oak laminate mounted to the back of the head stock to eliminate deadspots Rolled off fretboard edges 33,5 inch scale, tight B-String Bass Culture Dual Humbuckers in wooden covers, 3-way switch to toggle between parallel/Single Coil/serial (the initially installed Delano PUs are for sale on top or in exchange for the Bass Culture PUs) For more specs please refer to the certificate image attached. Happy to ship with DPD within EU at buyers costs. Ask for international shipping fees. Even more happy to respond to your questions. Open to have a call, teams or facetime meeting to demo the bass, if you wish. Soundfiles: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TT2lBwi4bAbIKeibgL8mPGeUHp3-oDcE?usp=sharing

I bought this recently as I decided to move back towards short scale (plus my Rick). However, a few days later, lady luck intervened by shamelessly flouting a dream short scale (Serek Midwestern in capri orange with competition stripes). Which I bought 🙄 So we have here a super quality 2006 CIJ Mustang with very few minor marks, none egregious. Plus its in the rarely seen sunburst livery (most are oly white or fiesta red). Lightweight (7.9 pounds), as these basses almost always are, and with a super slim neck and J proportioned nut width. Fitted with new D'Addario 45-105 nickel rounds (pics show Mustang flats which I have sold separately) and comes with functional but used generic padded gigbag. Collect SW13 London or delivery at cost (UPS, probably £20-30). £750 collected, post at cost within UK. No offers given you may wait many months for another good condition sunburst CIJ example to appear. No trades, sorry, trying to downsize collection.

Here is my really good condition Vintera Jazz in rather spiffing firemist gold. Based on a 60`s Jazz so alder body, thin C neck 7.25 radius, vintage frets, American vintage reverse tuners, 60`s vintage style single coils. Fitted with brand new Ernie Ball Cobalt rounds. Weight is 4.3 kg or 9.5 lb`s. £675 posted to UK mainland on a 48 hour service or £650 collected from Paisley or will drive a bit for a meet, just ask. If it needs delivered, it will be inside a Tourtech case which is for protection only. Price drop to £650 posted, £630 collected

I have decided to put up my Status Barracuda 5 string bass for sale. This bass, as with all Status basses, sounds amazing and is a joy to play! It has a wood neck with graphite rods. I bought it a music store a couple of years ago and only used it twice… It is in great condition. The bass weighs 11.5 pounds. It heavy, but that is why it has a powerful sound. The bass has been modified with Bartolini 59 CBJD L1/LN1 jazz bass pickups and a Delano Sonar 2 pre amp. It sounds amazing with this new set up. I will also include the original pre amp and electronics that came with the bass. Please note that I kept the third hum-cancelling pickup in place, but it is not currently connected as the Bartolinis I had a tech put on are hum-cancelling. The original pickups and pre amp will require the third. This is why I kept it in place. 35- inch scale. 18 mm string spacing. The original electronics are the same as the Trace Elliot T- basses. It has separate volume for each pickup, treble, and bass control. The electronics have a passive/active switch for the active electronics. That switch is currently not in place as it is not possible with the Bartolini/Delano set up. I think the bass sounds like a perfect Jazz bass with the new set up. Quality Thomman gig bag included. Bass is located in Los Angeles. I am willing to ship to UK and Europe at buyers expense. Pay Pal only please to protect both of us. I am selling it for $850 US dollars plus shipping.

This absolute beauty is a 2009 stingray H in Cabernet Pearl with a matching headstock. Included is the OHSC alongside the original case candy. Before i bought this bass strap locks were fitted so i’m including a strap that matches (almost) the colour of the bass. there are a couple of small knicks on the headstock of the bass and a bit of damage to the case which I have captured in pictures (excuse my dogs they really wanted to be in the pictures). The playability of this bass is really outstanding and she really sings. It really pains me to be selling this bass but if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask :).

Hardly a mark and hardly used as I have a VS4 and Atelier - best colour imo! A lot of bass for the money

Well, looks like this is mine again. Thanks again @Clarky

The block between the pickups. Adds more positions to rest your thumb and gives a consistent feel under the fingers.
