Got this recently and as much as I love it and it's ace, I'm just preferring my P basses at the moment and I've got my eye on something so it's available German Warwick Corvette $$ Special Edition 2010 No.30/85. One of only 85 made and one of only two fitted with Bartolini Pickups and 3 band MEC EQ instead of the normal two band found on a $$, was a special edition for German suppliers in 2010. The body is a 50/50 split of Swamp ash and Tigerwood. The neck is slim and very fast, made of Ovangkol with a Wenge fretboard with 24 bell brass frets, and brass adjustable nut. The original tuners have been replaced with superior Gotoh tuners (the Warwick tuners often break). If that is not enough the bass is also fitted with Bartolini pickups and 3 band EQ. Each pickup can be switched between Parallel, Single Coil and Series mode, the variety of sounds is amazing. The active MEC EQ has a stack-pot volume and pickup blend with push pull passive mode control, with individual high, mid and low frequency controls. Condition is 9.9/10 I cant find a mark on it but its a 12 year old bass so there must be one somewhere. Everything is in excellent working order, electronics, bridge, truss rod etc. fretwork is immaculate. The bass comes with all the official paperwork, Warwick user kit. and gig bag. Shipping will be at the buyers expense. Weight is 4.5kg, balance is perfect.

Fender CIJ 1962 reissue precision bass (PB62-60) from 2007. Selling as I have now moved to 5 strings and so this does not get the attention it deserves. I have owned this from new when purchased in 2007 and it does have some wear and tear from being gigged through the years but still sounds great. I have tried to capture any dings but let me know if any other pictures or info would help. I haven't got the weight to hand but let me know if needed and I shall try and get an accurate measurement. It originally came with a white scratchplate which I replaced with the tortoiseshell seen here shortly after purchase (from this very site I believe!). I'm not convinced I still have the original white one but it may turn up. I'm based in Denbighshire but can arrange delivery across North Wales. I'm also regularly gigging around the North West, particularly Manchester. Not overly keen on arranging a courier in the first instance as I don't have a hard case. Any questions then please let me know!

Hi folks, I'm offering this gorgeous 5 string USA Lakland 55-64 up for sale again. I had this up for sale some time ago but kept it. Up on well know auction site but I thought I'd see if I get any better interest on here. This bass was known as the Bob Glaub model and now 55-64 "Vintage P". I think this is a 2016 model. Here are the specs; 35" scale Alder body Fiesta Red finish Tort pickguard 1 piece maple neck satin finish Rosewood board Birdseye maple dot inlays Hipshot ultralight tuners Passive tone controls Lindy pickup Strung with TI Flats Weight 4.4kg Condition is excellent. One tiny dink on the headstock. One tiny check in the lacquer near the jack as pictured. Plays and sounds like butter. This is the best bass I've ever owned but my priorities in life are elsewhere at the moment. I'm sure i will regret selling this for sure. Long waiting list and about £4000 to buy a new one of these. Comes with its plush lined Lakland hardcase. Sale will include a pretty much brand new Neotech Megastrap. Price is £1950 ono. We can discuss me delivering to you in person/half way if I'm anywhere near your location at the time. I'd much prefer collection if possible. I live very close to Silverstone. Any questions or comments welcome. No trades so please don't ask! Thanks alot, Pete

As it's one in, one out now, my lovely Ibanez SRH500F has to go. It is really in mint condition, having been bought last year, played in our non smoking home only. It's a semi-hollow, fretless Soundgear with a bridge with individual Piezo pickups built in, along with volume and tone. Side dots are where they should be for a fretless, and offset fretboard markers at the top side of the bound Panga Panga fingerboard, which is also lined. However the lines are black, and I can't see them unless I'm looking for them. Belt and Braces ? Body is Okoume, with a Spruce top, with a contoured heel and arm rest. Neck is SRH45pc Jatoba/Walnut with a width of 38mm at the nut, and 62mm at 24th fret. It plays great, with the supplied D'Addario ECB81-5 Flatwound Strings and Ibanez's AeroSilk Piezo bridge doing a great double bass sound, and there's Mwah if you want it. Individual string Piezo volume can be adjusted on the back of the bass It didn't come with a case, but I bought a really good copy of the Ibanez case that comes with the Premium range, and I'll throw that in with it. Price is currently £699 new @ Andertons with no case, or bag, just a cardboard box. So hopefully, given the "as new" condition, and including the case, I'm in the right ballpark. I'm prepared to post, as I have a couple of bass boxes, but only at the buyer's postage and insurance expense. Paypal, bank transfer (must be showing in my account), or cash on collection. Any questions, just ask

Fender Jazz Bass. Crafted in Japan £775 Oh dear, I have another bass incoming and as I already have far too many, with a heavy heart, I’ve made the decision to sell my lovely red Crafted in Japan Fender Jazz. I’ve loved owning this bass and it was my bestie during lockdown stuck in the house. It weighs 9.1lbs and plays like a dream. All the well-known sounds are there - smooth front pickup and lovely Jaco honk at the back pickup with everything in between. The neck is really nice to play. I can feel a slight scuff on the back of the neck but almost impossible to photograph. The action is set nice and low. I’ve been playing it without the white scratchplate. It’s a stunner. But I’ve shown it with and without and obviously I’ll include it in the sale. Serial Number on the Fender website says it was crafted in Japan between 1999 and 2002 It has a couple of dings which I’ve tried to show. - One scuff on the back of the neck as I said and one paint chip where the body meets the neck. £775. Happy to meet up half way within reason. I’m in Malvern, Worcestershire. UK sale only.

And sold. Off to a loving home ❤️

Yeah, I'm keeping my 4 main gigging basses plus an old Spector. Since Covid nearly killed me in 2020 I'm refocussing on what I actually use instead of having several wall hangers doing nothing.

Another bass that I’ve rarely played, and growing in value/collectability. Made in Japan, the serial number dates to 1994/1995. A few small dings commensurate with age, a little fret wear, slight scratching with the pots. Condition is very good. I’ve seen these go for crazy money but I think the asking price is sensible. If you want it shipped, I’ll buy a cheap hard case for it and add that to the overall cost – or you can send me a case and I’ll ship it in that. I will ship outside of the UK. All shipping will be fully insured and at cost which will be added onto the price of the bass. Obviously shipping costs will vary so if you’re serious I’ll get a quote, or you can arrange your own shipping and insurance. I’m in Surrey near the M.25 Junction 11. I’m happy to travel a reasonable distance to meet you to ensure it doesn’t get damaged in transit. I’ll accept offers on the asking price of £800

For sale: Hello Kitty Stratocaster - Squier by Fender (£649) Really not sure about this!! Doing a major clear out at the moment, and this quirky little Strat is next up on the block. These were only made for a brief period, and are fairly rare and highly sought after these days, with as-new examples exchanging hands for up to a grand. The previous owner had owned it from new since she was a teenager, and it is completely stock and unmodified. It features a maple neck (with an oversized late-60s style headstock, maple fingerboard and pink dot inlays), a slightly thinner Strat-shaped body with a hardtail bridge, a pink finish, a single volume control, and a bridge humbucking pickup (both in white). Unique Hello Kitty scratchplate / pickguard, and the Hello Kitty logo on the back. I think these were originally marketed towards girls, but it is very cool and I didn’t see anything wrong with playing it myself; it sustains and sings and I will happily keep it if no one bites! Apart from some sun fade on the front and a few superficial scratches that aren’t noticeable (mainly on the back) unless you look carefully, it’s in wonderful condition. This one has been recently set up professionally (with 9s) and plays beautifully. There is a cool little article about “How a Hello Kitty Guitar Became The Hottest Stratocaster” here: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/dec/11/hello-kitty-guitar-stratocaster £649 (cash, bank transfer or PayPal gift) collected or may be able to deliver or meet up somewhere along the SE London / Croydon / Guildford (Surrey) area. Would prefer a sale rather than a trade… but try me if you have something particularly interesting. Would prefer not to post, especially since I don’t have a suitable case. I have a few bits and bobs on the block in the next few weeks / months, so let me know if you are interested and I’ll keep you posted. #guitar #sale #squier #fender #strat #stratocaster #hellokitty #london

Hi all. Have decided to see if there's any interest in my lakland 55 AJ. Stunning looking, playing and sounding bass. It's been fitted with a brand new sadowsky preamp. These preamps are great, runs a volume blend tone with a push pull for the active 2 band. It has an incredibly punchy and clear tone, helped with the typical lakland B string! Weighs in at approx 9.9lbs. There is one main mark/ding in the top of the body which I've tried to show, along with some light surface scratches front and back that are very hard to photo. Trial is welcomed, collection preferred but would consider a meet up or postage at buyers risk/cost. Any other questions or more pictures just ask. Thanks.

SOLD For sale: Fender Player series Mexican made 4 string right handed 2021 Precision bass in lovely Polar White / maple neck / tort plate colour combo. Collection / possible North West meet welcome. Otherwise can post to UK address at buyer’s expense of £23.70. That is for Parcelforce Express 24, trackable fully insured delivery. A real nice relatively light weight of 3.7Kg / 8.2lbs, measured several times with digital luggage scales. Very comfy, light & well balanced on strap or lap. For those who like neck measurements, the neck has a front to back thickness of 0.800” at the 1st fret, and 0.911” at the 12th fret, measured with digital calipers. So fairly slim and fast playing on the lovely satin urethane finished neck back (gloss maple fingerboard). I actually really like this bass so it’s a semi reluctant sale, but as nice as this is, I’m not really a white bass guy, so am keeping my black Player P instead. Everything is stock apart from the tort plate, which I think is non Fender. It is very nice though. I don’t have the stock plate anymore. Has 45-105 RS66LDN Roto nickel round strings with lots of life left in them. Truss rod adjustment at headstock, rod turns as it should, set up with a nice medium/low action. 2021 model with Fender 75th anniversary logo on back of headstock which is a nice touch. As it’s fairly new, it’s in generally mint condition without even the usual scratches on the back. Unfortunately there is a paint chip where I very briefly tried a Jazz neck on it. I always thought P & J necks were interchangeable, but as careful as I was, a bit of white paint flew out as I tried to get the J neck into the pocket. I should know to leave these things to the experts! So, the area with no paint is about 1cm x 0.5cm, but the total area of the imperfection is about 2cm long. This is fortunately on the underside of the neck pocket, so it obviously can’t be seen whilst playing. Perhaps this will suit someone who is paranoid about owning a mint bass, knowing there is already a ding on it anyway. Who knows, the buyer could even add one of their own, run it through a hedge or do their own custom roadwear! So, it’s mint other than that one issue. Please note I want to sell this, and am not interested in trades, unless you have an American Special Precision that you want to do a deal with. PM me with any interest please, thanks

1983 Squier JV PB-57 Precision for sale due to me deciding this is the time to thin the herd down. I believe it's all original, except for the black scratchplate that's currently on it but i will also supply the original single ply white one. You can see the raised A string pole pieces in the pics. This one weighs in a mere 8lb 2oz on the digital bathroom scales. In great condition for a nearly 40 year old bass, a couple of tiny body blemishes, the neck is completely unblemished with frets in excellent nick. Truss rod works fine both ways. Pots are still smooth. No tarnishing on the chrome. Moreover, it plays like a dream - a proper old school precision with a neck that is super playable. It will come with a Fender hardcase as shown in pics. Would rather do collection on this, but happy to drop off do a halfway meet within 1.5 hours or so of Wakefield, West Yorkshire. I've priced it based on recent sales but I'm open to sensible offers. Not looking for trades at this point.

Two top quality braided cables from Winspear. Super chunky and not tangling with neutrik connections. one is angled/angled, the other straight/angled. each cable is £62 new, so £37 each, £65 if buying both. postage should be about three quid!
