BASS NOW SOLD *Further items will be posted later* Due to severe illness it's regretable that I have to part with my basses. First up is this 1966 Fender Jazz Bass in Candy Apple Red with matching headstock. This was valued at £9,000 with a resale value of £7,500 Two issues with this: 1. There is a quarter turn left in the truss rod and minor curvature in the neck. I have been quoted (by Gerald at 'No Tom') a maximum figure of £500 to rectify this although the problem is not perceived as being so major and would likely cost much, much less than that. The curvature isn't bad and has remained static for the last twenty-two years. The bass in eminently playable. 2. The pickguard is not original: the original had been engraved and had (had) the top bout removed. The current pickguard was made by request to the Fender workshop when they had the warehouse and workshop in Hendon in the late 1990's. To compensate for costing these issues I am letting the bass go at £5,500. The bass is otherwise all original with no refinishing I don't have the health or the means to make any more pictures but feel free to come to my flat and inspect the instrument. Due to my health and the security risk to me there would be a second person present. To be clear I WILL NOT BE POSTING THIS OUT, THIS IS COLLECTION ONLY from LONDON N1

So the clear-out continues, Classic story - I need to raise some money, I have basses I don’t really want to part with to sell to raise funds for the next bass. I’m listing a load of basses so as soon as I’ve hit my target I’ll withdraw the rest. Please feel free to hit me up with near offers - I’m willing to listen. Great Jazz this, actually my favourite sounding apart from my custom shop! It’s basically a Classic Vibe Jazz (one of the nice early ones too) that was offered as the guy from Biffy Clyro’s signature instrument. I did briefly install a Kigon series/parallel loom in this, but put it back to stock as it is now. Very good overall condition with some play wear as expected for its age. Small chip on the headstock - See pics. All the look and feel of a 60’s Jazz without the need to remortgage the house. Now discontinued so grab it while its on offer. No case I'm afraid with this either. Blurb: http://www.squierwiki.com/AS-James-Johnston-Jazz-Bass I would very much prefer collection in person here in north London (N21) as I can demo the bass with an amp and make sure that the potential buyer is happy. However I do have a couple of shipping boxes that I would be willing to post basses in at the buyers risk. I may be able to meet within a reasonable distance and I’m always in central London for gigs.

In perfect condition (except original relic 🙂 ), recent strings, mojo to spare! 🙂 Alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard (3.6kg). Perfectly tuned, an instrument equaled only by Fender's Custom Shop. See the comments on the net, this bass is a real PB at ease in all styles, plug'n'play ! Lollar PU. No hardcase. Trade is possible (preferably a PJ model) 4 or 5 strings 1750 euros shipment not include

Bought back in 2020 as a backup bass, but truth is it just doesn’t get any play time as my main bass is an MIA jazz bass. This is version 2 of the bass, it plays great, preamp with bass/mid/treble control, active/passive switch, quilted maple top, rolled fretboard edges. The bass is pretty much immaculate aside from some slight buckle rash on the back. Comes with the clear pick guard and chrome pickup cover, never been installed. I’ll throw a set of Rotosound Swing Bass I have laying around on it this evening. Any questions just send me a message, and of course welcome to come test the bass out before buying! Would prefer not to post, so collection from Portsmouth or willing to meet halfway. If I’ve missed out anything let me know, just quickly throwing this advert up whilst I’m at work 😄 cheers!

Please feel free to hit me up with near offers - I’m willing to listen. 1995 MIM - This one is a real wrench as I love the neck, literally the best bass neck Fender has ever made in my opinion. I was so enamoured with this bass when I got it that I decided to tart it up a bit so I added a full set of black Hipshot HB-7’s and a BT7 D’tuner and a black Gotoh 201 bridge which improved things no end. This has a slightly smaller body that your standard P and has active electronics. Great weight, sound and playability. Overall in very nice nick, but there is some flaking of the paint around the cavity at the back - see pictures. This was there when I bought it and hasn't gotten any worse since. EDIT - I have the original tuners that I will include in the sales too - standard Fender 90's MIM chrome.

Sorry to hear about your health issues - seems all to common as you get older unfortunately. Must say I like the furniture - I have the same bottle green Chesterfield but with different basses on.

Classic short scale that sounds like a weird Jazz bass and weighs literal nothing. I can find only one tiny dink on the edge of the body otherwise it’s immaculate. Hardly played, still has the shop sticker on the back plate. Unleash your inner Carol Kaye! Fun little bass - needs a new home please.

This is the body from a 2011 Classic Vibe Precision and the neck from a 2008 CV Jazz. Both well regarded made in China models, all stock. Excellent condition, some marks to the pickguard and a super small impression on the body under the controls. Some minor tarnishing to hardware. I have lightly taken the gloss off the neck using some 0000 wire wool. I taped up both ends so there's a definite start/finish (like a Stingray headstock end) and it's very subtle. Currently wearing 3 ply mint green pickguard from Nortwest Guitars and will also come with original black pickguard (which has playing marks) and thumb rest. Strung with Thomastik-Infield Jazz flats JF344. 8.4lbs on my electronic scales. No gig bag.

I have a 4 string version of one of these. Truly fantastic basses, I'd love a 5. Truly crazy price for a bass of this quality.

What a fine looking bass, in a great colour too. GLWTS and sorry to hear of your poor health.

Hi guys, Recently picked up this outstanding 5 string USA P from bass bros for £1.1k but as I currently have 3 5 string P's in the house the last in is first out. It's been setup really well after purchase with a very low action and a brand new set of LaBella deep talkin' flats, sounds amazing, looks amazing, plays amazing... amazing. Below is the Bass Bros spiel and I'm using Will's photos as they're much better than what I could do. Comes with original flight case and all case candy. Shipping is by 24 hour UPS at a cost of £40. Trades are a maybe, just not a 5 string P Bass... oh but any trade must be 5 string. ---------------- This great 2009 Fender American Standard Precision Bass V, in the classic olympic white finish with tortoiseshell pickguard, plays and sounds unbelievably great!

Included is the original hardcase, etc. Serial Number – Z9475260 Year – 2009 Colour – Olympic White Body Finish – Gloss Body Wood – Alder Neck Finish – Satin Neck Wood – Maple Fretboard – Rosewood Frets – 20 Scale Length – 34″ Weight – 9lbs5oz/4.2kgs Electronics – Passive Pickups – Fender P Gigbag/Hardcase – Hardcase ---------------- Thanks
