Our Andyjr1515 built this to the same spec as my main gig bass (also built by Andy) as a backup. I've never had to use it in anger though as my other AR bass has been 100% reliable so I've decided to turn it into GAS vouchers 🙂. Compact, lightweight and a one-off in design terms, this bass is in top condition. Strap balance is perfect and the fast, slim neck makes it a sweet player. Functionally it's hugely versatile thanks to the 3 'lippy' pickups plus 7-way switching* that allows all pickups to be selected individually or in any combination. Each position gives you a distinctly different, totally useable voice, and I use all 7 on gig bas number 1 to suit various numbers in our covers band. Price includes a mint Gator shell case and a white-pearloid scratch-plate alternative to the ebony one fitted if you want to bling things up a bit. Strings are virtually unused La Bella flats. I'm happy to meet for mutually convenient handover within an hour's drive from Taunton or pack for shipment provided buyer arranges and pays for delivery. * Via 5-way slider switch and push/pull volume knob

For sale is my Alleva-Coppolo Bass LM5. (Empress/Maple) purchased in the USA at Bass San Diego in 2020. Everything is original and nothing has been changed. This is an extremely rare bass, built by Jimmy Coppolo. He only built a handful of LM-5 models out of Empress wood. This is one of them. I think this bass really only exists once. The response is superbly even and incredibly clear. The low B-string is clearly defined. This bass is insanely light at just under 3.47 kg and can be carried and played all the time. The Empress basses have the mid-scoop of a 70's style LM/maple jazz bass, but with a slightly "modern sounding" twist. The finish is a throwback to early 80s Fender basses with Di Marzio p/u's (the finish is called "Sienna Burst") and it has nice block inlays and custom "Fender Strat" buttons. It also has white pickups, just like the old Dimarzio pickups in the old Fender models. This bass is both passive and active (bass and treble boost when switched to active). This bass was made in a great time when Jimmy was producing some really incredible work. Everything works flawlessly. No quirks, kinks or dents. Potis work without creaking. Neck is straight and truss rod works flawlessly. The frets are like new with no visible play marks. Of course, it comes with a very high quality original Alleva gig bag. All in all a really wonderful instrument, unfortunately gets too little attention in my house. 😂 That's why I would like to give it away in good hands. No trades please.

WITHDRAWN FROM SALE : A project has come in where this bass will come in handy, so I’m taking it off the market for the time being. I may re-list at a later date. —————————————————— Olympic White finish with Ash body and Birdseye Maple fingerboard. Comes with original case, paperwork and supplied tools/strap locks. Ordered directly from Fodera and has lived either at home or at my studio, both non-smoking environments. Just checked the body and neck for any blemishes and couldn't find any, so I'm going to say it's essentially mint! Collection from my studio in London preferred, or can arrange meeting at a mutually convenient location in/around London for hand-over. Will only consider international freight if I’ve not been able to sell locally after a month or so. Sorry! More pics/details on request over DM. No trades, thank you. Straight sale only.

It is fitted with a new set of Blacksmith ANW-32135-6-34 nickel-plated steel (Hexa Core) strings with proprietary AOT Nano Carbon Shield coating which prevents oxidation and dirt accumulation on the wound strings (32 - 45 - 65 - 85 - 105 - 135) that really serve the bass. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken under different angles and light to see the real condition, which is used with knocks, scratches and scars from 34 years of use.

Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 4 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4.5 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

I bought this last year from a basschatter. (using pics from that post) As you will see i have a bunch of basses up for sale in the hope to fund a bass i have been after for ages. I am selling it for what i paid for it. This is one heck of a bass. So beautifully put together.

EA iAMP 350 . All in perfect working order and sounding great . Throwing in a Markbass amp gig bag . Pick up from North London , or I will ship at buyers expense . A bargain , for a quality amp and gig bag .

SOLD I’ve decided fretless isn’t for me so am just looking to get what I paid for this in 2022. It’s passive with stacked volume/tone knobs, a 3 way pickup selector and series/parallel switches. Everything works perfectly. Good condition for the age with a little wear to the fretboard from roundwounds. Was set up over the summer by Newcastle‘s very own Bass Doc who reckons it was either a special order from the factory, or was professionally converted to fretless to a very high standard. I’m based in whitley bay. No trades thanks unless you have a G&L. Happy to post - buyer to pay and organise. Will be bubble wrapped then put in an old gigbag and then a bass box. I’ve got a decent feedback thread on here. You’re welcome to try it out if you’re in the area.

This is the last of the Trace heads before they went under around the turn of the century. It's the rack mounted AH300-12 head. It comes in a Roadready 3U flight case . I put a ventilation panel in the spare 1U space. The amp is in full working order and was gigged regularly until the time of the pandemic. I've gone and bought a load of lightweight gear (I'm no spring chicken!) and so this has been sat in the cupboard doing nowt. A fantastic amp with the superb Trace dual compressor circuit. The switchable valve drive circuit is very usable too. Switchable parallel or series effects loop and switchable 12 band graphic and preshape. There are a few holes drilled in the top panel to improve airflow for cooling. On the back there is a speakon socket in parallel with the 1/4" jack speaker outputs. Also a 7 pin xld socket which parallels the foot switch socket. The front panel illumination is in full working order and stays on all night. I fitted the Trace modification to the front panel illumination board which stops the lights going out if there's a power fluctuation. Comes with a kettle lead and a couple of Speakon cables. I'm asking £250 for it. It's heavy so postage would be expensive and impractical. A meet up or collection would be preferable.

Oh man these basses are awesome! The sound is epic and incredibly versatile for a passive. They are light, well balanced and very easy to play. If it wasn't for this being fretless, it would be coming to me! Not to mention at this price, it's a stone cold bargain!

SOLD Studio quality EQ DI. The clarity and control over your sound is unbelievable. 9v or Phantom power. 1/4" out and DI The HPF and LPF are particularly effective when going to FOH or tracking. As new condition, boxed with manual etc. £220 posted UK only

Just lifted the lid and here's the date sticker: . How very palindromic!
