Due to the Covid-19 situation and severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 3 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using as well as some stuff I don't use.

Fender MM Nate Mendel Precision Bass & Bag This 2018 bass is in excellent condition and comes with all the original case candy and Foo Fighters spare neck plate. It’s a lovely sounding bass and has subtle wear to it that gives it the look of a genuine early seventies instrument. It is currently strung with Daddarios but a set of old heavy gauge strings are included too. It has the Fender hi-mass bridge. It weighs just over 4kgs and is a nicely balanced instrument. I’d prefer pickup in person but can post in the UK at buyer’s cost if necessary. This is part of my ‘if it’s going to be gathering dust - sell it!’ gear cull. Sorry no trades.

Pedulla Pentabuzz fretless bass. Michael Pedulla, who made this bass, has now retired. There are no more new ones to be had. I bought this instrument new in 2003 and it has performed faultlessly, upholding the well-deserved reputation of the brand. It has a shaded red finish with gold coloured hardware. Pedulla specified the Bartolini pick-ups in JJ format to provide the singing highs and growling lows with the stunning ‘MWAAAH’ effect you would hope to hear from a fretless. Included are the manual, trussrod key, Allen key for the bridge and case key. I hesitate to use the word ‘immaculate’ because someone with 20/20 eyesight might find a minute blemish; for the purpose of this listing, let’s just say it is in excellent shape. The case is in fine condition too. The last new price for these was over £5000. I have done my best in the unretouched pictures to bring out the best in appearance. It has been unused for four years now after a change in the music work I do, so it needs an appreciative new owner. Strictly collection only from east Devon, no couriers.

Sire V3 Gen 2 with reworked pickups and rolled over fingerboard edges. Sire preamp with active/passive switch. Low action, light weight, no issues. Very little use as kept as back up to other Sire. Now £200 Edit: I have weighed the bass and it comes out at 7lbs 15oz. This feels right to me as it is feather light and way under my other basses. I have had enquires about postage and I am happy to box up the bass for courier but buyer will need to arrange their own service and level of cover.

2005 Sadowsky metro MV4. Bought on here last year from Nick who had from new. Sadowsky Metro MV4 - one of the early Japanese models for sale or trade. Looking for £1675 which is what it cost me. Happy to consider trade for a Musicman stingray special. Slimmed down J type body, beautiful feeling neck, Sadowsky branded machine heads, humbuckers and the trademark 2 band Sadowsky pre-amp. The bass has had the vtc kit installed and a bass doc tort plate. generally in excellent condition for its age- see photos for wear, this is a 17 year old instrument that has been very well looked after . Original owner listed a dink at 15th fret that doesn’t affect playability- I’ve certainly never noticed it. Includes a gator rigid soft case as the original sadowsky branded rigid soft case needed replacing Weight is 4.1kg according to my digital luggage scales

Firstly thanks to everyone who has made some suggestions about trying to make the bass work for me. After some consideration I've decided I'd rather sell than chop it around. For sale is a custom P Bass body made by Guitar and Bass Builds. It's a 5* 2 piece Swamp Ash P Bass body that has been rear-routed for Jazz Pickups with a 60's spacing and was professionally finished is a high gloss clear lacquer. I've fitted EMG J pickups to it, including an EMG solderless harness (VVT) and a Fender High Mass Bridge. The body, pickups and hardware cost around £600. The neck is a Status Graphite Jazz neck, fitted with Schaller tuners. The bass weighs 9lbs 3oz and is in excellent condition apart from a few small marks on the headstock (no chips though). It plays beautifully with a lovely low action but sadly I can't get the sounds I particularly want. There's no case but if I ship it I'll make sure the package is bomb-proof. I'm looking for £850 delivered or I'm happy to hand it over in person within an hour of Monmouth. I'm not prepared to sell the neck separately unless I first find a buyer for the body, so please don't ask. I have a long list of people who expressed interest in the neck already and if the body sells I'll let them know. No trades thanks

As much as I love this bass, bills need to be paid and I have to let it go. I only bought it off of a fellow basschatter last year after having searched one forever. - 1st gen Arpege bass (1984) - Walnut wings - neckthrough Maple & Walnut neck. - Phenowood Fingerboard - Brass plate between fingerboard and neck for reinforcement -> the neck is mega stable - Benedetti Pickups (bridge pickup is new) - original electronics! - serial: 239 comes with the original hard case. shipping in bomb proof packaging is no problem. located in Germany.

Hi I am thinning out my heard of basses. Fantastic Ibanez ATK810E 4 string bass These were knows as "Stingray Killers" Collection welcome, Postage will be £40 inc, insurance to UK mainland only Bases on SN. Manufactured in August 2017 Amazing condition Info on the bass here large ash body and conventional neck design of this instrument gives it a vintage feel, and the premium fret edge treatment allows for smooth playing with a comfortable neck grip. The 3-way pickup character switch for the CAP Double Humbucker gives the bass 3 distinct, sweet voices, allowing bass players to explore many different tone options. This also allows the player to find that perfect tone for any genre, and switch right to it at any given second. AP Double Humbucker pickup uses a 3-way pickup character switch, which allows players to choose from 3 different options. When switched to the neck position, the 3-way pickup character switch activates the first part of the Double Humbucker, which is closer to the neck. In a similar way, when switched to the bridge position, it activates the second part of the Double Humbucker, which is closer to the bridge. Both parts of the Double Humbucker can be used when the switch is in the centre position. Combined with the Sonic Arch neck pickup, this allows for even more tone options. In addition to this, the treble, mid, and bass boost/cut controls allow a bass player to control how they sit in the mix. The instrument also features balancer and volume controls to find the perfect balance for the perfect sound. The bass has a balanced tone with a bit of boost in the highs, thanks to the combination of the ash body and the maple fingerboard. The notes come out very clearly and well-defined.

Looking to trade or sell my mint/new Rickenbacker 4003AC for either a 4003W or a 4003SW + some cash. Could also be interested in a 2 bass trade (with one being one of the aforementioned basses) and some cash from my end. The bass is like new, I've only had it out of the case 3-4 times, and played it for less than an hour. Absolutely no scratches, dings or nicks. Perfect condition. Same with the OHSC. Also includes all the case candy. Only 420 of these were ever made, and it is a revolutionary bass, as it was the first to implement the v2 rickenbacker bridge, and double "treble" pickups. Sounds like an absolute monster. I'm only selling it because I'm not too keen on the green, and I don't feel justified playing a 4000€ instrument with my current skills.. I'm also too afraid I'll scratch it if I ever use it for a gig. Anyway, here's some pics: I can provide more on request. Can be safely shipped worldwide, as I am an experienced packer. Will also have tracking and insurance.

This is a Squier Classic Vibe (first series) body in Sonic Blue purchased from @Jono Bolton. The neck is a Status P flavour purchased from @Cuzzie. The body had the original CV high-mass bridge removed and replaced with a bbot, with the original screw holes plugged and new holes drilled. The electrics had been replaced with CTS pots and a switchcraft Jack socket. I fitted licensed Hipshot Ultralight tuners to the neck and bolted it together but was never entirely happy the neck was solid enough, as the screw holes in the neck were a little slack. Fast forward a few months and I decided to get the job done properly, so took the bass to Jon Shuker who plugged and filled the holes in the neck and re-drilled them, refitting the neck more snuggly than a really, really snug thing. While we were at it, I also asked him to refit the original CV high-mass bridge, plugging and re drilling as required. So, it’s now a very pretty, very solid, well playing bass that I could quite easily keep (as it’s worth far more than the sum of its parts now Jon has breathed on it) but I’m on a mission to clear out most of my gear as I no longer gig (nor do I really have a desire to). There are a few marks on the body (the worst one being to the left of the bridge) that I’ve captured in the pictures. The neck is in beautiful condition save for one of those weird carbon scuff marks that is under the lacquer (so you can’t actually feel) and a pin prick sized indentation. One point of note is that now the original bridge is back on, the holes for the bridge cover would need to be altered slightly if you were wanting to refit one. EDIT - Weight on my trusty luggage scale is 4.08kg (or pretty much 9lbs in old money). Collection very much preferred although if no collection buyers are forthcoming after a couple of weeks, I may well decide to ship.
