For sale or trade. A great P Bass, made by The Bass Centre, created in collaboration with Attractions bassist Bruce Thomas. You can read the story of its creation here . It seems to be very well regarded by many people on this forum. I bought this from this site in May 2021 as I was getting back into playing. Including myself it’s had at least three careful owners. It’s a great playing and sounding P Bass, but I’ve hardly played it with since I got a Mustang for Christmas 2021. So I am looking to switch this out for something different. It still has the the flats it arrived with. There are screw holes for an “ash tray” bridge cover, which I took off but still have and will include with the sale. Happy with sale or trade. For trade, I’d consider anything short or medium scale, with cash going in either direction. Top of my wish list would be SS Sterling Sting Ray, G&L Tribute Fallout or Pawn Shop Mustang. Collection or meet-up only (unless it doesn’t sell for a few months). Happy to meet up in South Wales, along the M4. I also have occasional work trips to Bristol, central London and Milton Keynes. I’ve weighed it on bathroom scales and I make it 4.5 kg Price reduced to £295 for collection/meetup. (Although I am now thinking I might keep it after a few goodbye noodles).

SOLD Selling my Ampeg combo. I believe this is a late 80's / early 90's model, but happy to be corrected. It's a USA made 100 watt / 1x15 design, obviously based on the legendary valve model from a couple of decades earlier. 4 band EQ with push/pull, FX loop, balanced XLR DI with vol control, headphone socket, limit function etc etc. Speaker is 150 watt 4 ohm, so 100 good watts output as it is. Can be used as just a head into another cab too. It's in good condition for it's age, sounds fine with all controls working. Has the screw in pole which enables it to be tilted back too! Good for smaller gigs , rehearsal room or home use. Overall a usable funky thing that may even be collectable now or in the near future, as quite rare. Think the price is good, but let me know if you think otherwise!! Only selling as I need to free up some space. Got more pics if you need them - just PM me.

Part ex also considered towards sale, especially medium or short scale, try me ! Stunning Heavy Relic California VS4 in mint condition Spec: BODY Body wood Alder Color Marley Blue Hardcore Aged NECK Neck Maple Fingerboard Rosewood Frets 22 Fretsize 2.7 mm Strings 4 Headstock Matching Nut 39.5 mm Tuning Standard Position Inlays Mop block markers ELECTRONICS Pre amp Sandberg 2-band, active / passive, passive tone control Pickups Sandbergs Split Coil Hardware Chrome Bridge Spacing 19 to 20.5mm Here’s the Bass Buddha’s thoughts: “The VS4 is a P-bass on steroids! In Active Mode it’s a bass that’s more open and powerful than a normal P-bass, but when you play it in Passive Mode the sound turns into unmistakably classic P-bass with a beautiful sound that takes you back to the golden age of the 60s and 70s. The body construction is made of alder and the fingerboard is rosewood which makes it light and gives a very balanced tone throughout the whole frequency range. The neck is more narrow than a normal P bass, which makes it very comfortable and the tone just pops out at you with ease. The bass’ single pickup is a split-coil from Sandberg, which brings the bass alive no matter if you play active or passive. The preamp is Sandberg’s own 2-band EQ Active/Passive, which plays a pivotal part in that classic Sandberg sound. In the Active Mode, the preamp is Volume, Treble, Bass, while in Passive Mode it’s just Volume and Tone while the third is deactivated.”

One in, one out. You know the score. Had this for a year, it's a fantastic bass but my '93 Sterling does all of this and more so it's up for grabs. It was made on the 5th of August 2010. All original, all working fine. A few battle scars to the body near the jack/control plate and a bit of buckle rash in the usual place. There is a little damage to the finish on the end of the headstock too, just cosmetic. It came with a couple of spare scratch plates in torty and grey pearloid. Musicman hard case too.

WANT! IRRATIONAL WANT!

Head £350 Cab £325 Rig £650 Finally looking to shift this monster rig after a few withdrawn ads in the past! Both in fully working order and VGC as shown on pics. I'm strictly 210 combo these days so too much power for me, not so much weight as this is a ridiculously light set up even with head + cab. The ShuttleMax comes in original packaging with footswitch and manual. The Neox is tolex rather than fuzzy covering. Happy to ship the amp in UK at buyer's arrangement/expense. Cab picked up localy ideally but will travel to meet reasonable distance from Cardiff.

Either one may be used for input from the bass amp. Use these two inputs when 'daisy-chaining' 2 cabinets together. •Full Range Speakon® Input - We recommend using this input with the appropriate cable when connecting to a high powered bass amp - 400 watts or more. • Tweeter Level Control - This controls the amount of signal to the tweeter. We recommend starting with the control at 50%. Then balance the tweeter output to the cabinet's speaker output in combination with your instrument's pick-up tone and amplifier clarity. These popular cabinets also feature a unique “nubby” vinyl covering along with a new metal speaker grille. This creates a more contemporary look and more importantly, it adds increased durability. All models feature a compact compression tweeter with Ferro-fluid cooling for enhanced highs and a high power capacity crossover with a 100 watt tweeter level control. The jack plate offers Speakon® or 1/4" input connections.

Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. In perfect working condition and in good condition with all the nicks of 30 years old bass (see photos for real condition). This is the best P-Bass I've ever owned in 40 years, but, hélas, I'm not a P-Bass guy... Here are the specifications : Body: light ash (probably swamp) Neck: bolt-on in 1 piece of very lightly flamed maple Fingerboard: beautiful rosewood Frets: 20 positions with absolutely no marks Headstock: 4 in line Pickups: 1 brand new Hepcat (best French vintage pickups maker) Precision Bass '62 (see invoice) Controls: volume (selected CTS), tone (selected CTS) with a Russian PIO capacitor and a PureTone output jack (see invoice) Tuners: original Fender Japan Bridge: original Fender Japan (70's) Strings spacing at bridge: 19 mm Nut: bone Strings spacing at nut: 11 mm (nut width is a B type, so 41.275 mm) Knobs: Fender flat dome (brand new) Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: chrome Truss rod: one, single action, 100% functional Finish: Dark British Green over Vintage White Country of origin: Japan Serial number: N079873 Year: 1993 Weight: 4.120 kg (naked) Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the E string at 12th position (can even go lower, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a Fender shotgun type (see photos). Non-smoking environment as usual. The cavities have been fully shielded with conductive paint (and some copper too), the scratchplate (or pickguard for some) has been fully shielded with aluminium and the bass has been set up professionally, which means it's super easy to play and dead silent. It is fitted with a set of broken in La Bella 760FS Deep Talking Stainless Steel Flat Wound (45 - 65 - 85 - 105), which really serve this bass. It comes with the thumb rest and the two ashtrays. The bridge cover has the foam inside cut to fit à la Nordymute, so not pushing on the strings, but going "around" them: true Motown sound guaranteed. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is good with all the nicks of 30 years old bass. 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 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. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

ONE CAB SOLD ALREADY! ONLY ONE NOW ON OFFER! ... Gone ONE GONE, ONE TO GO! I suspect that these need no introduction for most of you, but in case you have any doubts: yes, these really are as astonishing as the hype says they are. How on earth can something so small and light sound so warm, loud and fat? And when you put two of them together ... 500 watts at 4 ohms! Lordy! I bought them during lockdown and have used them pretty much every day as my home practice/rehearsal setup. I really do love them, but I'm now GASsing for Eventide H90, and my Charvel JJV isn't shifting, so these are next up. (And to be honest, I also prefer the more hifi sound of my pair of Big Baby IIs to the warmer vintage tones that these offer, so that makes parting a little easier. But only a little!) Immaculate condition - not even the slightest suggestion of this 'tolex peel' thing that I have read so much about on this forum. Full specs here: https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/one10.htm New, these would cost you £549 each with covers, so at £450 apiece you're getting a decent saving for good-as-new gear - even more so if you buy them both as a pair. (Go on, you know it makes sense!) I don't have any suitable packaging at the moment and would much prefer home collection in South Birmingham or meetup within reasonable driving distance from Brum, but I am willing to post to England, Scotland or Wales only (thanks for nothing, Brexs*it) for an extra £25. No trade offers please, unless you have an immaculate Eventide H90 to offer me! Thanks!

Thank God this isn't local to me
