Back up for sale. 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 760FS 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, but will ship at a push for cost.

Putting this up for sale, as need something else and it’s the one I’m least attached to. Really great version of a 62 P, really nice playable neck with a lovely roasted finish. Owned from new, used for lots of gigs and some recordings and been really pleased with it, great ‘vintage’ tone and a really useable tone control. Well looked after, some minor dings but in very good condition. I shielded the cavity and it’s nice and quiet now too. Nicely set up with LaBella flatwound strings. Would really prefer collection / meet , I do still have the box so will be able to package up send within UK. Happy to answer any questions/take more photos etc. Thanks! Price drop to £850.00 Spec from bass direct : https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Modern_Vintage_MVP-62_Fiesta_Red.html

Squier SQ Precision Bass 1983/4 The SQ series were built alongside the JV models and were the MIJ equivalent of US basses of that era rather than vintage reissues. Japanese build quality, nice and light with excellent necks. This one is all original apart from the, strap buttons, controls and pickup - this has a Thumper pickup that sounds great and CTS pots. Original electrics are long gone. The neck has been gently sanded by a previous owner to create a less glossy finish - plays like a dream. The neck blemishes have been drop filled and can barely be felt under the hand. It’s a lovely instrument and weighs 4.2kgs. There are some minor cosmetic dings and marks but nothing structural. It’s a gigging workhorse and great as a main bass or backup. I bought this from a fellow Basschatter and was going to use the body for another project and part it out. It’s too nice an instrument in its own right so I bought another donor body and am selling this as I already have a similar MIJ model. No case or bag however it will be strung with D’addario flats. I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost as I have a decent box. No trades sorry.

Really nice playing 2009 SG bass in faded/worn black. Versatile rock bass which only weighs around 7.5 pounds. Amazing condition (only sign of use I can see is a small indentation on side of fretboard, pictured). Basically looks like it sat in its hard case unused for all of its life while small rodents chewed at the outside of the case (which still functions perfectly). Without the glossy nitro finish of the SG Standard bass the neck is much easier and slicker to play, in my view. I am cutting my bass collection down as my band's one and only festival gig in diary has been cancelled and there is nothing planned for the foreseeable. Hence no trades. £825 including UK post, or £800 collected from SW13 London.

Up for sale is my Kay K162 Pro Bass Reissue. It’s in lovely condition and plays well. Fitted with medium scale Rotosound Trubass Tapewound strings which gives a solid double bass like tone. I’ve also had TI Jazz Flats on it which sounded great. Comes with original hard case and some spare Trubass strings. The only notable thing is the back of the neck has been buffed to remove the sticky gloss, making it much nicer to play. £695 collected from Beccles, Suffolk. I have a box so can post if necessary.

I got this in a part-ex from Bass Direct in January (and I love it) but I've got my eye on something, so even though I'm losing a couple of hundred £ in two months it's got to go. Alder body, fotoflame top, maple neck, rosewood f/b, 2 band eq. Comes with a slightly battered Fender hard case. •Weight: 8lb 15oz/4.0kg

For sale is my Fender Kingman V1 acoustic bass. It lives in it's case under the under the bed in the spare room in a smoke free home. This is the 34 ins scale Jazz neck acoustic with a Fender branded Fishman pre, tuner and piezo bridge pickup. Unplugged it's the loudest acoustic bass I have ever heard and when connected the onboard notch filters produce a rich, genuine, authentic tone without the feedback. It's in immaculate condition and it simply does not get the use it should following the rundown of a number of acoustic jams locally.

This bass has been through a few BCers, I've owned it since 2017 and have only played it a handful of times, hence the need for it to go to a new home where someone gives it plenty of attention. It's had quite a bit done to it, most notably the Spinal Tap finish has been stripped by a previous owner; the natural wood finish has picked up a few small dings along the way and there's one fairly large knot on the upper horn (pictured). The fingerboard has some light wear that attempted to photograph. Since it's been with me I've had Andrew at Richmond Guitar Workshop do the following: • new nut • nordstrand Big Blade pickup • aguilar OBP-2 preamp (stacked bass/treble boost/cut) I'm looking for £450 plus whatever delivery/collection options are required, I have a few gig bags that the bass can be shipped with depending on buyer's preference.

**now £500*** Here's a glorious one-of-a-kind 2014 Musicvox USB Space Cadet bass which marvellously stands for Ultimate Short scale Bass. It's a Hofner-esque vintage tone with the floating bridge set up but solid body, and with more of a Les Paul body shape just with longer bottom horn giving it's own unique vibe. It's in sexy white with black trim and has been a studio bass only so well looked after by me, but sadly took a knock when it got sent from the US despite their excellent packing so there's a dent/chip right at the top of the headstock, and there's achip in the paint where the neck pickup cover meets the body as looks like not perfect QC per the photos, but doesn't affect playability at all. Comes with the original Musicvox gig bag. Collection from SW London or can meet in the capital somewhere. Specs: -Space Cadet USB 30" -bolt on neck -mahogany body -maple neck -rosewood fingerboard -30" scale -22 frets -Pearloid block inlays -body and neck binding -rosewood bridge (height adjustabe) w/ trapez tailpiece -pickups: 1x mini humbucker, 1x EB-Style -controls: volume, tone, 3-way pickup selector - weight: 3.7kg

Warwick Streamer NT1 Rockbass to give its full title. A thru neck, gloss black, curved bodied active PJ bad boy similar in style to a spector. As i say every time i sell a bass on here - i need to learn im a standard P bass man! I swapped out the chrome hardware to a Warwick gold bridge and Wilkinson open back tuners (see numerous online reports of Warwick tuners failing). The tuners are drop in replacements with no extra holes/reeming. Come wearing thunderous Fender pure nickel strings and is immaculate! Collection would be from Bolton or can meet up within reasonable distance. Trade wise i would consider a black Fender cabronita P bass Better pics to follow once im back from the rehearsal space

Nice and a great price. Can’t go wrong with Yamaha stuff, so well made. Does that have the same pickups/pre as the TRB’s?
