2016 American Vintage '63 Reissue Precision Bass in faded sonic blue with rosewood fingerboard. In excellent condition. There's some minor checking in the finish (it's very thin nitro) and a tiny chip in the lacquer on the lower side of the neck pocket. The colour is faded and has slowly greened giving it a very vintage vibe and it's a nice weight. The guard currently fitted is an official Fender AV tort guard, but the original mint guard is supplied. Strung with La Bella 760FL flats. Original case, covers and all case candy are present. The side dot markers on all of these are quite dark, so I have fitted Rosette Small Ivory Dots available here: https://www.rosetteguitarproducts.com/new-page-2 These don't involve any modification or glue, and the finish remains intact. They can simply be rubbed off if you don't like them, but I'll give the new owner the option to keep them or remove them. Alder body Maple C shaped neck (some nice figuring on the neck) Round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, 7.25" radius 1.74" nut width Bone nut American Vintage '63 Precision Bass Split Single-Coil 20 vintage style frets Vintage reverse tuners 3-ply mint green pickguard Chrome pickup and bridge covers, lower finger rest, clay-coloured dot inlays, auxiliary strap button on headstock American Vintage Bass bridge with Threaded Steel "Barrel" Saddles Vintage blonde case with red interior Case candy Weight: 4.04 kg / 8.9 lbs I'd prefer collection, or meet up to start with.

Really reluctant sale of this bass, but I currently have four 5-string Jazz styles basses and I have my eye on a Musicman 5 so trying to raise some funds! This has one of the nicest 2 piece Swamp Ash bodies I have seen on a Sire - almost impossible to see the join unless you look at the end grain. Really excellent condition as can be seen on the pics. If there's any marks/dents I certainly can't find them! Only real sign of use is that the pick up cover was fitted at some point and has left some holes in the pick guard, but unfortunately I don't have the cover to fit back on. When I got the bass the preamp had some issues so I purchased a new one from Andertons and put that in. While I was at it I also fitted a decent Switchcraft socket as the Sire ones are a weak link I think. The bass also had a clear perspex ramp fitted between the pickups which is a nice Mod but easily removed if needed. Strings could probably do with a change but have some life left. Medium-low action at the moment. Ideally Pick up from Chelmsford, Essex, but I do have a box and will post at Buyers cost/risk. £375

Sire V7 Swamp Ash version 2. Bought in 2020, it has only been played in the house. I can’t see a mark on it.

Squier Classic Vibe 60’s Precision bass with TI Flats and hard case posted in the UK- sounds good…..2008 ace period….sign me up. Only going to make available for the next week as I’ve an itch I’d like to scratch Thanks Dave

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.

Hi folks Here's a really great through-neck fretless, I believe made in Japan. (see thread here) Very playable 2 octave neck, really great mwah and punch - the output from the pickups and 2-band active preamp is louder than any of my other basses, and it's fat and punchy! No idea what the woods are. Finish is matt/satin. Body is a sandwich of 3 woods, looks like some kind of mahogany in the middle with facings of slightly flamed/birdseye something. The neck is straight and the truss rod works fine. Currently strung with Ken Smith half-rounds. I bought this to have a tinker during lockdown and never got around to it, and it's time to thin the herd and give someone else the opportunity to have fun on it. Happy to ship in a well padded box at buyer's expense or can arrange meet up somewhere between Cambridge and London, other locations possible if I move around the country! Now the pictures!

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

Quest Atak 1b Bass made at the the legendary Matsumoku factory Japan in 1985, very rare to find in the UK. Good condition, punchy pickups and comfortable to play with a slim smooth neck with nice low action. Neck and frets are in excellent condition, a few love bites to the back of the body giving a slightly roadworn mojo, electrics all working good, comes with a padded gig bag, trades considered, can post for an additional £20.
