Bass demo.m4a Demo from Section of recording Never saw this day coming, but I was taking it to be defretted when I was offered my old EUB which I couldn’t resist and I need the funds. This has been used for one recording gig in November since I bought on this ere forum back in September-ish I believe? Otherwise been sat in it’s gig bag. Strung with black nylons which I think suit it nicely. The bridge piezo was removed (as is quite common with these) and replaced with a lovely Krivo mag. No feedback but still retains the woodyness when dialled in with the internal tone control. I will dig out the Spotify/iTunes link to the recording, or get a demo up. You can feel the quality of the build when played, and the nylons give it a nice upright sound. The ebony board is gert lush my babber. Looks cool as flip too! Needs to be played, not sat in a case. I am not posting this without a hard case I’m afraid. But will travel by negotiation within reasonable distance of Bath/Bristol/Bridgwater areas. I’m open to offers btw, but no trades.

Yamaha BB425 in vintage White. Features an Alder body, 5 piece Nato and Maple neck,with a rosewood fingerboard,45° angle through body stringing and ceramic P/J pickups. The neck is fairly slim with a nice wide string spacing so very comfortable to play,with a lovely Satin finish. I have added the Yamaha vintage plus bridge to this,which are found on the more expensive high end BB 2025/BBP35 models (these are over £100 alone),that with the through body stringing provides a lot more stability,which really improves the B string. The saddles on these are two way as well which give more tonal options. The quality of these basses is indisputable, easily as good if not better than some Fenders costing three times as much, all in all it does a fantastic P bass tone. It is not lightweight,but I'll get an accurate weight later. It is in good condition except for a few dings and a curious tiny burn Mark on the back of the neck. For clarity I did have an issue with the P pickup cover,which came loose while I was lowering the pickup, the hole in the pickup cover had somehow stripped and became too big for the screw. I wrapped the screw in plumbing tape,to make the screw head wider which held the cover down perfectly. Mind you it's white so is noticeable(see pic) I don't have a case for this,however will be very well wrapped and boxed. SOLD

I bought this beautiful sunburst and rosewood US EB MusicMan Sterling from here recently. This is the American made Sterling not to be confused with the cheaper - albeit very well made - product line. I love the sound and playability but I prefer the maple board on the MM Sterling that I recently withdrew from sale. This instrument is very light for a MusicMan at around 3.8 kgs. This one was built in 1996. There are a couple of minor dings and the strap buttons are replacements. There is a basic non Musicman case with it. I found it more comfortable than the StingRay models owing to the narrow neck, smaller body and contouring. It’s currently wearing Daddarios. The neck is very similar to a Jazz in feel and is very comfortable, the preamp is excellent giving a wide range of useable tones. Postage will be around £30 UK only. More pics to follow. No trades unless you have a maple board US Sterling.

Hey everyone, recently withdrew this however with a house move in the next few weeks and too many basses I've decided to commit to selling it. It's a 2018 onwards euro 5 lx fitted with the dual coil bartolini pickups. 35" scale and 17mm bridge spacing. Sounds, plays and looks fantastic and the only reason I'm selling this one is something has to go and I can't bring myself to part with my lakland! Excellent condition with a few very small marks, comes with the fitted hardcase which is good condition bar a few small nicks. Collection preferred, could possibly organise a meet up or postage at buyers cost as I have a suitable box. Any questions message me.

Source Audio C4 for sale. Not had this long. Sounds outstanding, but using an app for setting the thing up makes me sad. Going back to octave/fuzz/filter. Nowhere near as flexible as this but it's all I need! Boxed with leads and psu. Velcro on the bottom. £170 £160 plus postage at cost or trade for a Sansamp Bass Driver v2. UK sales only.

Edit: need to move on 1 of my 2 Ricks. This OP features my 2019 fireglo 4003 beauty, which weighs a more than acceptable 9.3 9.0 pounds (4.08kg). Jetglo 4003S bass details a few posts down. My 4003 plays very slickly with new 40-100 DR Pure Blues strings installed. Comes with Rick hard case in good used condition. A few minor knocks visible in pics (tip of headstock; rear underside edge; and small [2cm ish] patch of buckle rash, not through the wood) but none visible except very close up. I have been A/B'ing this with my jetglo 4003S and come to the conclusion I marginally prefer the latter due to its carved, rather than slab, body. But this bass has a nicer, slicker neck, so its a toss up really between the two. Collection from SW13 London (south of Hammersmith Bridge) or I can probably sort delivery at cost (will need a packing box, which I don't currently have) with UPS (£25-30?) Sale strongly preferred at this point as I am trying to keep bass collection count down. Also, sorry to our EU brethren (I didn't vote for B...t), its a UK sale only.

That's a piece of art. Lovely 😊

* UPDATED- black one now sold. Just the Passive one left* Well, I've got three of these beauties and having recently acquired another headless bass, I need to save up for a mullet and a jacket with rolled up sleeves. This is a 1987 walnut coloured passive Jack weighing it at 7lbs 7oz. It's got a few chips and dings but it has been gigged regularly but not abused. The neck is nice and straight and it has a stupidly low action which could do with raising a bit due to the warmer weather. The frets are in decent nick too. I've also fitted one of the string adaptors which means it can be strung with regular strings as well as double ball ends. It's held in place by string tension so it can be removed effortlessly. It has an intermittent issue with the barrel Jack socket that seems to happen on all these old Hohners and very occasionally cuts out briefly. It's an easy fix apparently but I've never got round to it and it's never played up when I've gigged it. *SOLD* The second is a 1988 active/passive model in the rarer black finish and weighing 7lbs 12oz. It's in really good condition for its age with minimal wear and tear. Again it's fitted with the string adaptor and again the neck is great with a low action. The active/passive circuit works fine which is unusual for one of these as they're normally dead as dodos. It even has the lesser-spotted battery cover that is usually missing. Again, it has an intermittent issue with the barrel Jack socket and again it sometimes cuts out briefly. It's an easy fix but I've not bothered with it as it doesn't happen regularly. It's worth mentioning though. I'm looking for £300 including postage. I'll be sad to see them go but I have another one to help me get by.

Ongoing wrist issues means I need to get a short scale bass, in order to continue playing. As I don't have the funds to buy outright, I need to sell some bits (no pun intended 😂) With a heavy heart I'm offering my Iron Ether Frantabit Bit crusher/Sample Rate Reducer. This is such a mental pedal,That's also incredibly musical. It has two modes the first Degrade offers the usual Digital Bit/SRR and has a lot of variety. The Second Obliterate is a kind of a Digital recreation of an Analog version of the effect???? In short it's insane!! Many many sounds Available from both modes. Clavinet type tones/crazy Distortion/8 bit computer sounds/quasi Tremolo,Helicopters,Mad robot Bees, octave tones, experimentation yields lots of weird and wonderful sounds. This has had an issue with the DC input which I had professionally repaired. But also had a much better quality part fitted as apparently the original type used is prone to damage. He had to fit it on the side , the original has been repaired,so it can actuslly be powered from two places as the original still works. In Fantastic condition and working perfectly, in a very attractive finish (each ones different, but I've noticed Frantabits are often Black) This is a reluctant sale,and if I can raise funds in another way, I'll happily withdraw. No box and high quality Velcro on the bottom. SOLD

I’d like this, Ash, please. I’m travelling back to the UK tomorrow. Could we sort out details over the weekend please?

Nope, it’s my brother 😎
