Hey all. For sale (or possible trade with a Roadworn or Nitro finished Jazz of some kind) I purchased this new a couple of years ago well because it was charging green mainly…..and I love a good stingray. These Stingray specials are just brilliant IMO. I’ve had a lot of different stingrays in the past and I have always loved them but the new improvements really are actual improvements. They feel way more ergonomic in every way. The roasted neck is just perfect, kind of less baseball bat esq than the old ones. The price of a new one in these crazy days is utterly mental: circa 1000 english pounds more than this and also not in charging green. Condition is as new. All the case candy is still present. I actually cannot find a mark on it. It has been to numerous band practices and a few gigs but seems to have escaped unscathed and all it’s charging green loveliness is intact. Weight is 9lb or 4kg Courier to your door in its proper, nuclear detonation proof musicman case, included if you reside in the Uk. Happy to ship elsewhere but will need to be organised by yourself did I ever mention… this bass comes in charging green…. etc TK x

Now Sold! As I slowly edge my way towards owning just a few instruments, this stunning Sadowsky is the next one up for sale. As an ex-Sadowsky dealer, I had first look at everything that came into the store. This particular one came from a customer in Canada, who had it custom made for him in NYC, and as soon as it arrived I knew it was 'the one' for me. It's quite simply the best J-style bass I've ever owned (and I've owned a LOT!). However, I pretty much only play my, shorter scale, Ritters these days and it seems a shame for this to be sitting on the wall & only taken down once a month or so. Sadowsky basses really are designed to be pro-level 'gig-machines'. It's hard to explain but they just sit perfectly in a live band mix & that onboard tone control offers so much subtle tweaking across songs - perfect in a covers band environment when you need to go from a clear precise tone to something with more grind & then back right off in pure passive tone control mode. It's been gigged maybe 10 times in its life and always kept under direct supervision. As a few people here know, I always keep every one of my instruments in excellent condition & this is no exception. It has some swirl marks on the pickguard, a few on the rear and some very tiny marks near the lower strap pin where I'm assuming it was rested on the ground at some point by the previous owner. Fretboard is a, pricey upgrade, Amazon rosewood and all frets, the board itself and the maple neck are in superb condition. The thin nitro finish on the back of the neck shows no signs of wear at all. Official specs are: Dark Cherry Burst Quilted Maple Top - one of those that Roger does so well with amazing depth of colour Chambered Swamp Ash Body - weighs just 8.2lbs / 3.7Kg Amazon Rosewood Fingerboard Mother of Pearl Face Dots (note that this is what the spec says but they look quite plain to me) Maple Neck with thin Nitro Finish 1.5" nut 21 Frets 20mm Bridge Spacing - EDIT, checked with Roger (and a tape!) and this would have the regular Sadowsky 20mm spacing not 19mm Sadowsky Humcancelling J pickups Sadowsky Preamp - Master Volume, Pickup Blend, Vintage Tone Control (with pull for passive mode), Treble & Bass Boost Current price for a new one of these with these specs is exactly $7,000 / £5,650 - that's excluding any delivery charges, VAT or Import duties. It is now possible to specify a Masterbuilt bass from Warwick in Germany but I don't think it would be any cheaper & the wait list is long - besides, it won't have had Roger's hands on it either, which, for me, was always something quite important as part of the 'brand experience' 😂 I've, therefore, priced it at around 25% off the base price for a new one. It will come in a Hiscox hard case & with a nearly new Sadowsy neoprene strap (super comfortable and, at just 8.2lbs, great for long sets!). I can potentially ship almost anywhere. EDIT: Checked direct with Sadowsky, and Gov sources, and this instrument would not require a CITES certificate for international shipping.

It's with a heavy heart that I'm listing this. I ordered this bass January 20th 2015, and took delivery 4th November 2016. The spec is: Maple bird's-eye facing Mahogany core Vintage satin stain finish Side dots (between lines) Fretless ebony board with lined pear The band I was playing bass in folded just before I took delivery of this from Paul at Wal, and I have been back playing guitar in my main band since, and I'm looking to finance a Gibson Murphy Lab or Historic Makeover Les Paul. This bass has probably had less than 20 hours of home based play. In August 2017 the neck was sent to H.G. Thor (Woodwiz, New York) to undergo a full epoxy treatment which has now made this a top pro level instrument. Please note, H.G's wait list was already 4 years at the time this work was carried out, and I went on his list long before the Wal was ordered. I don't know if he still carries out this type of work, but is considered the best in the business for epoxy work. The bass is listed on the Wal Registry so buy with confidence It plays incredibly either with rounds or flats (I'll put the thomastiks back on before sale). Happy for potential buyers to come and try it out (Birmingham, B29). Preference is on collection due to value, but might entertain shipping/overseas etc. Also listed on Reverb and the bay (100% positive feedback on both). No trades. Thanks Matt (07554519171)

Hi All For sale my roadworn P bass. It’s a really good one. Plays and sounds great. It has picked up some extra genuine real life “road wear” in its life on the back. Which you may or may not like but you can’t see it most of the time Obvz… I cannot for the life of me find the original pickguard sadly so it comes with the mint green one I added when I got it. It has flat wound strings on which it came with… I’ve no idea what make they are but they are great. Case is an old jazz bass one so it ain’t a perfect fit but it does the job and is included. The all important weigh in results are: 9lb 7oz or 4.3kg I bought if from here several years ago and it has been the first P bass I really got on with so a bit sad to see it go really. What I’m playing now more suits a jazz so I could be tempted in a trade/swap for a roadworn jazz of some description. Couriered to anywhere in the UK included in the price. Elsewhere the in the world absolutely fine but you will have to arrange.

Damn it, I've just sold my last child... Stunner, glwts

I bought this recently as a friend had asked me to buy a cheap bass for her to learn on. The bass is in pretty good condition cosmetically with one ding on the back of the neck pictured. There is the outer part of one knob missing too. All screws are present (I’d taken the covers off to clean the circuit and replace the batteries), it has an 18v active pickup and the later Westone pickup. It was made around 1988 I’d say as it looks like the last run of Thunder basses. Truss rod turns and it is pretty light weight at under 4kgs. There is an issue with the pickup - the treble side has a lower output and less zing. Withdrawn I will get the pickup repaired before I sell it on

For sale this amazing 2005 Mike Lull M5V in beautiful sunburst! Swamp Ash Streaked Indian Rosewood board w/pearl block inlay (a $600 upcharge from Lull) Bone nut 18v Bartolini NTMB preamp Duncan Single coils 9lbs 35” scale Hipshot hardware 18mm spacing 12 inch radius I have 2 pickguard mades from the same company Lull one white and one Transparent A few small paint chip on lower back side (normal signs of wear). That sounds is big and amazing. This bass coest new over 6000$ Price : 2700€

I didn’t think I’d ever sell this amazing combo but something I’ve had my eye on has come up and my house is starting to look like a music shop, the wife’s words, not mine. Its in really good condition. Looks amazingly cool and sounds fantastic too. What’s not to love. It’s a glorious 220 watt combo with a valve in the preamp for lovely B15’esque vibes. Really loud, never needed to go past 9 o’ clock on the master. Only downside is that it’s quite heavy as you’d expect but has castors so its not too hard to move.

Beautiful bass but having decided to keep my Enfield Fretless it was only a matter of time.... Stunning looks and curves (some Precisions just have better curves than others, this is very much one of the former), the board is in very good condition which takes very very low action for an FL. The bass has a highly responsive tonal palette that moves from mellow to snarly with just a few extra twitches of the right hand finger muscles. As Precisions go, this is a very very good example. I'll let the photos tell the story. Price is pretty firm (actually less than I paid but that's another story entirely), and having just sunk some money into a new (and metal) double bass, I really do need cash and not trades at present Lovely original tweed hard case included. Collection from Whitstable/meet-up in London/SE preferred but courier is of course also and option

Selling a shortly owned whilst very loved Jazz bass in a discontinued Sonic Blue colour. Nitrocellulose, Pure Vintage '64 pickups (only on this bass and the flea, not available separately), all case and candy. Strung with D'daddario XT's - NEW, can show receipt. Only blemish is on the side of the upper horn, not a ding, must be a superficial scratch/mark, there's still paint/nitro on it and even if I'm picky with my stuff it has not bothered me. Seen an itch I have to scratch (Ric 4003 Jetglo) so selling it for same as I bought it or very near offer. Colour goes from almost white to greenish or baby blue, lovely indeed!

As an ACG owner I have to say this is a VERY reasonable price for what you get. Alan's build quality is second to none and neck profiling and finish make these stunningly easy to play. The pickups and electrics are very versatile. If you're looking for a Fender alternative Jazz format bass IMHO you could not do better.

I like the additional buckle rash! The mint green pickguard looks good too, I actually prefer it over black…
