I'm selling a 1983 BB2000 beautiful bass but needs must, natural, all original ebony board, 9.7lbs all works as it should, no issues, comes with case, collection welcome, can ship at extra cost, no trades thanks. Price Drop £1250

I am selling my brand new, Japan-only, Spector Euro 4 LX Ras Layer in the cool twilight amber finish (see photos below for how the finish changes depending on the light). The bass is Layer's signature model. Layer is bassist and singer in the Japanese rock band Raise a Suilen (RAS). It comes with the Darkglass Tone Capsule and a RAS branded semi-hard case (plus COA and a fretboard protector). It is a great bass, but it has the Euro typical neck shape, which is a bit too chunky for my taste. I prefer the (Ian Hill) thin neck specs. Should have asked the Japanese retailer to take measurements. Well, lesson learned. I thought of keeping it as a collector's item but now have my eyes on some other basses. The bass is in mint showroom condition and has never left the house (very limited home use only). It is currently stored safely in its case in a pet and smoke free house. The price is firm as these Japan-only Spectors ain’t cheap (just check how much they go for on Ebay. There is also a cheaper model, but that one is a bolt on with passive SSD pickups). Collection would be recommended but I can also ship it (UK only, sorry!) using the original packaging and using a decent courier (I normally use UPS). Shipping would of course add some costs.

I bought this earlier this year and although pleased with it, I haven't really used it other than to noodle. The sharp looks and cool looks meant that I just had to give it go. It is a lovely bass with a great action and is nice and light. Everything that low end Lobster says in the video below is spot on. Someone will love this, it deserved to be played! Case isn't included. Can post. Weight is 4kg/ 8Ib-13oz. The Reverend Triad is all about versatility. The three brand-new Jazz Bomb pickups are hum-free with increased output. The steel rails create a rich, focused tone that cuts through the mix. Combine them with the 5-way switch, and experiment with all kinds of sounds for any tone alchemist. Funky block inlays and the chrome control plate make this bass a stylish addition to your collection. Custom Pickups We design our own proprietary custom pickups, to achieve the best tonal match with our instruments. Reverend pickups are also specifically designed for each position, for balanced volume and tone when switching. Five-Piece Roasted Maple Neck Roasted Maple is heat treated at over 300° F to remove sugars, moisture, and impurities. This maple is lighter, more stable, and has a beautiful caramel colour. Combined with our five-piece construction, the result is a neck that requires less seasonal adjustment, and boasts a rich vintage look! Korina Body Korina (aka White Limba) is a medium-lightweight wood, highly prized for consistency and tonal qualities. Often found in boutique and vintage instruments, all Reverends feature Korina bodies. A highly resonant wood, Korina is a key factor to producing our lively, responsive instruments that are rich in harmonics. Hipshot Ultralight Tuners These tuners have a housing made of aircraft grade aluminium that makes them extra-light. The difference in weight can be as much as 2-3oz less in the headstock, which means a more balanced bass that’s more comfortable to play. And the tone is great! Your bass is more defined and enhanced with the Hipshot Ultralites. High Mass Bridge Our bridge features heavy duty saddles in combination with a massive base plate. This substantial mass of metal enhances clarity and attack, and produces bell-like sustain. It's also a versatile bridge, that can be strung string-thru-body or top-load. Initialled Headstock Every Reverend is hand initialed and serial numbered on the back of the headstock by one of our highly skilled technicians who sets up, inspects, and tests every instrument. Custom Dome Knobs Our proprietary knobs feature a lower profile which is less likely to be accidentally hit by the player's hand, and the white dot lets you easily see where your knob rotation is set. Boneite Nut We use "Boneite," a synthetic bone nut, that is more consistent than natural bone, on all Reverend instruments. It reduces friction, allowing the strings to slide through the nut slots smoothly, improving tuning stability. 3-String Tree All Bolt-On series basses use a wide string tree that holds down three strings, instead of just two. This eliminates string buzz in the nut slot, which is a common problem with standard string trees. Dual-Action Truss Rod Our dual action rod adjusts in both directions, allowing back bow or forward bow. This assures correct adjustment range is possible regardless of string tension, extreme climate conditions, or the effects of long-term aging. It’s also located at the headstock for easy access. Six-Bolt Neck Plate Two extra bolts increase mounting pressure of the neck by fifty percent. This makes a stronger neck connection, which improves sustain, tuning stability, and neck alignment. Custom Jack Plate Our proprietary jack plate features four mounting screws, instead of two. The extra screws prevent the plate from tearing out of the body. Made of steel for durability, the laser etched logo adds an extra touch of class! Pure Tone Jack All Reverends use an upgraded jack by Pure Tone Technologies. The Pure Tone jack has dual contacts for improved grip, audio signal and reliability. The most dependable guitar jack available! 10% Pots We use Alpha control pots with a +-10% rating, tighter and more consistent than a standard pot. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars, but standard issue in all Reverends. 10% Poly Caps We use caps with a +-10% rating. Our caps are made to tighter specifications, so they’re more consistent. Made of polyester, they’re also longer lasting, and less affected by temperature than cheaper ceramic caps. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars. Specifications Body: Korina Solidbody Pickups: Jazz Bomb Bridge/Neck/Neck Bridge: String-thru-body or Top-load, 3/4" spacing. Neck: 5-Piece Maple/Walnut, Satin Amber Finish Scale: 34" Neck Profile: Medium Oval Fingerboard: Roasted Maple or Pau Ferro, 12" Radius Frets: 21 Frets Truss Rod: Dual Action, Headstock Access Tuners: Hipshot Ultralight, 1/2" Dia.

This is a great 2016 MIM precision. I was looking for a precision in a hurry and was lucky enough to snag this bass from Theyellowcab on here. It sounds great as either a passive of active bass and I used it as my main bass in the summer-don't believe me? Come and try it or listen to the video's in theyellowcab's post. Condition is great and it comes with a Fender hard case. Condition is great, nice colour and nice neck grain too. It is currently wearing flats but I'll put some rounds back on for the sale. Weight is around the 4.1/4.2 Kg mark on my scales so just over 9lb. "For players who find themselves alternating between a variety of musical styles at a moment’s notice, the Deluxe Precision Bass® Special is the perfect companion on stage and in the studio. Designed for powerful, flexible tone with smooth playing feel, this robust and rich-sounding bass combines the best features of Fender’s classic basses to create a "hybrid" model with sleek, authentic Fender style but is packed with new tones. There’s a wealth of useful tones hiding inside this bass’ pickups and electronics. Powered by a punchy vintage-style split-coil Precision Bass pickup in the middle position and a growling Vintage Noiseless Jazz Bass bridge pickup, this bass rises to any occasion. The robust control scheme includes a three-band active EQ with treble, mid and bass controls—each with boost and cut to accurately shape your tone—along with a pan pot for precision blending of the pickups’ potent sound. The active/passive switch makes it easy to access both vintage-styled and modern voices, further extending this instrument’s sonic flexibility. The Fender HiMass™ bridge improves every note’s sustain and resonance while enhancing the attack for lively tone that lets your sonic personality shine through. The "C"-shaped maple neck is comfortable for all playing styles and hosts a 1.5" synthetic bone nut and fast-playing 12"-radius fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets. The alder body bears a durable gloss polyester finish that looks great under the spotlight while being tough enough to shrug off the abuse of gigging and travelling. Classic Precision Bass appointments include knurled flat-top control knobs, nickel/chrome hardware, black pickup covers, pearloid dot inlays and a 3-ply B/W/B pickguard. A pure tone machine with classic Fender sound and style, the Deluxe Active Precision Bass Special is a true performer, equally at home on stage and in the studio."

Hi folks SOLD ELSEWHERE Up for sale here is my MIJ P bass in gloss black. The bass is in good condition overall with just some dings and marks on the body. The fretboard is a beautiful piece of dark Rosewood and with the dark tort p/guard looks great, a classic look. It is only for sale as I am coveting another bass that is f/s. If I miss out I will withdraw this from sale immediately! I think the pickguard is an upgrade by a previous owner. In addition the bass now sports an Alan Dingwall ‘Bravewood’ P pickup. The pickup was new when I acquired it on this forum (from @walshy) and sounds great. Really nails the vintage P bass tone to my ears. The bass weighs just under 9lbs by my scales and is currently wearing some flatwounds and will come with a fairly basic but pretty new gig bag. As it's not full original (pickup and probably the pickguard) I'm going to offer it at a decent price to you good people. Price is £725 collected from me. I'll deliver within 50 miles for free, and will be happy to travel further for some petrol money. I do have some packaging and a hardcase now so I post for a contribution towards the hard case & P&P costs. Some pics below but please let me know if you want to see anything in more detail:

Downsizing means that I’m selling some of the basses I love but rarely play. This is my Hofner 500/1 ‘Violin’ Bass, forever associated with one of our greatest national treasures. I used this extensively when recovering from a shoulder injury. It meant I could gig pain free but it actually worked well as a double bass replacement too in my rockabilly band. This is a late 70’s early 80’s example with the powerful blade pickups. It is a German made bass and has some beautiful figuring to the back and sides. It is fully functional, super light and is reasonably balanced for a shorty. There is a Hofner replacement scratchplate included but not mounted and a recent Thomann shaped and padded case - that is far superior in terms of protection than the official version. There are lacquer cracks as is expected in these examples however no major dings and the neck is lovely. It’s strung with Hofner flats that really give you that authentic 60’s sound! When I bought it it had had the most inappropriate tuner replacement you could imagine, fortunately however it was easy to put this right using the correct type tuner of this era. The mounting screw holes were filled and sealed and are unsightly but out of audience sight at the back of the headstock. I’m sure a pro luthier could get the cosmetics sorted out if necessary. No further mods have been made. Neck joint, trussrod and frets are excellent. German Hofners have skyrocketed recently but I’ve priced this with the minor repair in mind. No trades, pickup preferred. UK only.

My lovely 1977 Fender Precision Bass. Full of honest player wear, absolutely solid all original condition. A nice weight for this era at 4.2kg - balances well on the strap. Strung with Labella flats and sounds like a P bass should. I have the original metal work but not the original case. Collection from Cardiff preferred but happy to discuss postage in the UK. Feedback here:

A lovely fretless, very resonant, adaptable & Light weight. Last played on some recordings in 2018. I never play it but do want to have a fretless available so am looking to trade for a passive fretless so that I don't need to worry about the batteries having run down. I prefer precision types and unlined. Will sell for dosh if enough for me to get a passive replacement. Bass is like new. Picture, and video link below

SOLD.
