FOR SALE - Tim Commorford Short Scale Passive Stingray (limited edition - only 50 produced) - £2,500 + shipping I bought this a year ago, as soon as they were released. I absolutely LOVE IT but I don't play bass much anymore and it feels like a waste to have such a spectacular bass sat there as an expensive ornament. I paid almost £3,000GBP ($3,000USD plus shipping & taxes). Looking for the buyer to pay £2,500 plus shipping. It's in perfect condition, only used a handful of times. I'm quite happy to keep it if no interest, I just thought I'd put it out there in case anyone is looking for one as they're difficult to get hold of. I'm in Teesside, UK if anyone local wants it.

Hi. I've decided that keeping this beauty in its case unplayed isn't appropriate. I'm not playing now so it's time to sell. The bass is virtually unmarked, very close to original shop condition. No marks or dings and no fret wear. 100% original down to the last screw. Neck totally straight. It comes supplied in the original case and includes all swing tags, original strings and 70's spare set, instruction manual and inspection tag. Is there another all original 70's sunburst Jazz as stunning as this anywhere else? Weight 4.1kg on digital scales No trades thanks. Happy to personally deliver to most areas in the Uk by arrangement. Shipping to other countries by arrangement My Original Post in May Just thought I should share my great fortune/ honour in becoming the only the second custodian of an unmarked 73 / transition jazz bass. Before I share the story, I know that the bass has the black scratch normally found from 74, but I've seen the original receipt from Carlsbro Sound in Mansfield clearly marked Sept 1973. So the bass is 100% original down to the original case, original paperwork, inspection tag, owners manual and spare set of flatwounds ! Having saved his hard earned cash for years, the original owner, John B sadly passed away suddenly and his wife couldn't bring herself to part with the her husband's pride and joy, which has been sat under the bed until now. His wife decided to pass the bass on to someone else and I was recently invited to the family home to hear the story for myself. I have several photos of the John playing the bass in his band. I can't share them on here as they aren't mine to share but I can assure you the bass is visible clear as day, including John's initials on the lower horn, as was the trend in the 70's apparently and which are still on the bass now . . . . I promised I wouldn't remove them. Of course when I 1st saw the bass, apart from being floored by the stunning condition, I assumed JB stood for Jazz Bass! So an incredible, virtually show room condition beautiful jazz bass, preserved in time.

For sale is a 2021 Fender American Original 50's P Bass in 2-tone sunburst with gold pickguard. It comes with a G&G tweed case, all the candy and ashtrays that I had fitted. It's strung with Fender Flats but also comes with the roundwounds that it was originally supplied with. It even comes with the original shipping box. It's in immaculate condition apart from a tiny nick on the pickguard near the truss rod (pictured). I've owned it from new and it was bought from GAK. It plays and sounds as beautifully as you'd expect but sadly I have three other P Basses and need to recover some money unfortunately. It weighs 8lbs 4oz so if very nice and light. I'm looking for £1,400 posted but am travelling to Southampton on Wednesday night for two days so could take to with me for a hand over. No trades please.

I believe this series is what became the American ultra so not the cheaper Mexican made deluxe ones. The bass has some slight wear from lots of use but nothing major and overall in very good shape. All the blemishes we could find are clearly shown in the photos. If you are local feel free to come for a coffee and try it out or if you have any questions drop me a message. selling this for a friend and he’s not looking for any trades (although he’s selling to fund a Dingwall so may be tempted by one)

For Sale - My Vigier Passion IV Bass in Blackburst finish. Purchased at Bass Direct in 2019, this beauty is absolutely immaculate and the hard case also looks like new. I always really look after my gear and this bass looks, sounds and plays amazingly. Reason for sale? I've seen my eye on another altogether different bass and I don't have the luxury of keeping the Vigier if I get it, so this one has to unfortunately go! Not overly happy about that but someone is going to get a killer of a bass! If you have any questions, please ask.

1983 Yamaki made Daion Mark X B. Very rare version and indeed there are no other recorded cases of this version. Pre amp was added by the original owner shortly after purchase in 1984 and is believed to be a Kent Armstrong. It's seen service as a gigging bass over the last 40 years and as such has some dings and marks. Plays extremely well and has a comfortable asymmetric neck. Would much prefer people try it out before buying but if you need it posting let me know. Edit: comes with original hard case!

I bought this from BassBros a couple of months ago and upgraded the white pickguard to a black one for added coolness. The lightest Jazz I have ever played at 8 pounds, yes you read that correctly. Unfortunately I am not getting on with the neck profile (I previously had a super-thin necked Geddy Jazz and this is quite deep front to back, almost like a chunky P bass neck but with narrower nut width). It hasn't left the house since I got it and is in super 9.5/10 condition (a few tiny, barely visible scratches around the drilled bridge cover holes). Comes with Fender case, covers, white guard etc. Collect from SW13 London or post at cost within UK. NO TRADES unless a 2010s Spector Ian Hill P/J in black (the one with the slimmed down neck profile). Last pic was taken today, to show black guard, the rest were sent to me by Will from BassBros (it didn't actually go on their website as I heard about it before Will had put together the advert).

EDIT: I will take £420 for this plus £10 shipping. I’ve got Stomp XL gas so this has to go. I made a FS thread a few years ago for this but never pushed it as my heart wasn’t really in it. But here we go! Pretty good condition for how old it must be. A few paint chips missing. Functioning perfectly. It came to me with a power supply which I’m pretty sure is not original, but it works so I’ll include in the sale. I never really used the cable as I had it on a board with a Voodoo Labs power brick. Includes a v tatty box and instruction sheet. Collection/meet up preferred, or add £10 for Royal Mail special delivery (includes insurance). I’m pretty sure a Stomp XL is the only trade I’ll consider at this point.

1973/4 second version US made Fender Telecaster Bass. The version with the single humbucker, bullet trussrod and three bolt micro-tilt neck. This bass is definitely not a case Queen! It’s been modified and refinished in black by the previous owner. The neck, tuners, body, neck plate, strap buttons are all original. The slab body has been routed for an extra P bass pickup. The Mudbucker is a Fender reissue as the originals are very hard to source. The Seymour Duncan quarter pounder sounds really punchy and is hot enough to match the big humbucker and the bass sustains forever. The scratchplate is none original and none standard it has had a repair as it is quite brittle plastic and looks quite old. I had it wired to the Seymour Duncan Pickup only whilst I sourced a replacement Humbucker and will include a black scratchplate as pictured so you can choose if you want to use it without the humbucker. You can see where the original through body stringing holes would have been on the rear of the bass however it has been filled and fitted with a 70’s Fender BBOT bridge with one odd saddle fitted by myself as the bridge supplied was in pieces and a saddle missing. The original rout for the side jack cup has also been filled before the refinish. It could be possible to convert back to the original if wanted I would think. As I wanted a project I took a risk and bought this as a partly rebuilt Tele bass body and neck with some parts - the owner had inherited it and knew that it was good quality instrument but in a bad state. The body had already been refinished and the neck definitely needed a refret which I got my luthier to do (not cheap) having found that the neck was straight and the bullet trussrod worked perfectly. The original frets were literally hanging out and it looked like a butcher had been at the board when I bought it. It weighs a very reasonable 4.7kgs for a big slab of wood (ash?) and plays and sounds great. Without the humbucker it weighs 4.3kgs! I have two Tele basses and as I need to release some funds one has to go. It’s a rare bass and I’m sure the mods could be reversed if required The humbucker has a lot more variation than you would expect and you can get some very beefy and varied sounds. As expected the SD has that great P bass grunt we all know and love. Two pots and the capacitor appear to be original or at least contemporary. I added a volume pot and replaced some of the wiring. The jack socket is also an old replacement and works okay but will benefit from an upgrade at some point (I didn’t have any spares). No trades unless you have a Musicman Sterling bass with a maple board to p ex. Nothing else sorry. UK only. No case I’m afraid. Pickup preferred but could look into posting at buyer’s cost. Any questions please ask. Price reflects the modifications and none original parts. I’ve added pictures supplied by the original seller showing the body routs, neck pocket and neck. You can also see where the original string ferrules were on the back of the body so drilling them out should be a pretty straightforward job.

I have for sale my 1972 fender precision in 3 tone sunburst The bass when I got it was resprayed in red and the pickups, scratchplate were changed out The tone pot was replaced at some point but the the rest of the loom looks all original with period stamped vol pot and works quite well Neck is date stamped April 72 Nut width is 40mm Weight 4.1 Kgs I had the body striped back to natural and resprayed back to 3 tone burst The bass was in good shape when i got it with no serious dents andf it in great sahope now its been sprayed Neck has a few minor dings to the back in some places but as I say they are minor tuners are pit free I managed to acquire a set of 1974 Precision pickups from the US along with a period repro scratchplate which has been yellowed on the edges to give it a 70's antique look and looks the part I had the tug bar and ahve misplaced it somewhere but i will try and find it before the week is out Currently strung with flats, I will also source a decent case for it Nice comfortable neck to play with the slim nut, frest are in pretty good condition with some wear at the top frets Any question please fire away and price is firm as that is what it owes me, the parts were not cheap as most of you will know
