I'm selling one of my ACGs, it's an AC Guitars TKO Modern 4. It's a short scale, 30.5" and passive, so a bit more old school than a regular ACG, but with the super high end build quality and modern conveniences you'd expect. This bass is very much a one off, the only TKO Modern bass that Alan has ever made, as the shape was originally designed as a guitar, but it works very nicely for a short scale bass. It's very lightweight, I would guess not much more than 8 lbs, and is in absolutely mint condition, it's barely left the house and never been gigged. The proceeds from the sale will go straight into a new ACG.

€400 EUR: JP Basses Zia Hollowbody Piezo 5 fretless, 33 inches scale, 3.340 kilos, unique model made only once! The bass, which was originally fretted has been defretted upon my request by Jean-Philippe Ferreira himself (see photos in the Google Drive link). For sale, because I really can't cope with the flat (or infinite) radius and classical guitar type neck, which give me cramps in the left thumb, sorry Jean-Philippe, but I tried and tried as I love the tone... NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE ! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden : €400 Euros (£350 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros) !!! 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, except some obvious marks and dings, in very good condition for its age (it will be 19 years old in September and has been played a lot). Here are the specifications : Body: cedar core Top and back: wenge Neck: wenge Fingerboard: wenge Positions: 24 (flamed ash lined fretless) Headstock: 2 + 3 Pickups: RMC piezos only (with a long ramp on the body) Preamp: John East Custom made for JP Basses Controls: Volume (bright on push-pull), bass, treble (Neutrik locking jack) Tuners: Hipshot UltraLite 3/8 USA (special made in chrome finish for JP Basses) Bridge: Hipshot Type A (no idea if it's brass or aluminium) Strings spacing at bridge: 19mm Nut: bone (unglued like classical guitars) Strings spacing at nut: 9mm Knobs: wenge Scale: 33 inches Hardware colour: chrome with Dual Design Dunlop strap buttons Truss rod: one, 100% functional Finish: natural (nitro cellulosic) Country of origin: France Serial number: 11092004 Year: 11th of September 2004 Weight: 3.340 kg and absolutely no neck diving Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th position (can even go lower, but was perfect for me as it's a 33 inches scale bass) Will be delivered in a used Ritter gig bag (see photos). Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has received a new battery and has been fully set up professionally by Jean-Philippe Ferreira himself, which means it's perfect. It is fitted with a broken in set of D'Addario Chrome ECB81-5 stainless steel flat wound strings (45 - 65 - 80 - 100 - 132), which really serve this bass. The tone is simply excellent with loads of bass thanks to the RMC piezos (really the best on the market) and doesn't sound harsh at all, a very versatile bass in fact, where the dynamics is controlled by your plucking hand, and according to JP Basses owner, Jean-philippe Ferreira, the best bass he ever crafted. Upon request, I can put a set of Thomastik JF in E to C tuning instead of the D'Addario Chrome, but the action will be a bit higher due to the lower tension of these strings. 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 very good for its age with some obvious marks and dings. Here is the link to all the photos with defretting and how it was looking when fretted and now with two videos recorded unplugged and plugged: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Yic9JwaQbg3YIfBvMX2eHeqdIyVIprcu?usp=drive_link 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. I need the money quick!

I got this a few years back with the idea that my other half might take up the bass - she didn't. Anyway, I fell in love with the beautiful rubbery sound of a short scale with flats. I've done plenty of jazz jam sessions and the odd jazz gig with this and it's perfect for that. With the tone open, you get McCartney type tones and rolled off sounds almost upright like. The pickup is fantastic. I'm selling as I have too many basses and I'm decluttering my life right now. Condition wise, it's used not abused. It's nearly 20 years old and it's been played so it's on the good side of what you might expect. There's a small crack in the lacquer at the back of the headstock and a tiny crack in the paint at the neck joint. A couple of dings in the top of the headstock and some blemishes in the finish. It's got Thomastik flats on it which I put on about 6-7 years ago and they have remained since. I'd prefer local pickup in Brighton but I'll post at buyers expense. Thanks for looking.

I was one of a few on Basschat that pre-ordered this limited edition model after @cetera (a Spector endorsee) instigated it's production in early 2022. The original options for finish were black gloss, white gloss and tobacco burst. Gary kindly looked into getting some made in my preferred finish of Ultra Violet and Spector agreed. Here is the Basschat thread regarding the Euro X. I believe there are also some photos in the Spector thread. There are only a few of these in existence in this finish (and I mean low single figures) and they sold out immediately. I ordered it so that I could have a something for a hair/metal type band that never came to fruition, so it has not been used. I now have some other projects on the go which means this is unlikely to see the light of day. This bass has not been rehearsed or gigged. It is as new as the day I received it. It comes with a Spector branded gig bag and it's adjustment tools in a white envelope (still sealed). I also have the Spector box it was delivered to me in. The finish on the bass is stunning and really awkward to capture due to it's mirror like properties. I've done my best. Specification: Body: Maple - Refined X shape Top: Genuine Figured Maple Neck: Maple Nut: 1.64” Fingerboard: Rosewood Headstock: Black Inlays: MOP Spector Crown Frets: 24 Scale Length: 34” Radius: 16” Hardware Colour: Gold Bridge: Spector Locking Die-Cast Active Tone Controls: Spector TonePump (which is adjustable via a trim pot) Controls: Bridge Volume, Volume, Treble Boost, Bass Boost Pickups: EMG P.J Easy access battery compartment Weight: 9lb Collection would be preferred or meet at a mutually agreed halfway point if possible. I don't want to send it via any of the horror story couriers.

Squier SQ Precision Bass Made in Japan 1983/84 I'm reluctantly putting this lovely bass up for sale but the funds are needed elsewhere and I have 2 other P basses. As far as i know it is all original, lots of scratches but only cosmetic. Bass recently had complete set up, overhaul and new nut by Stephen Hawker in Bristol. Strung with LaBella 760FS flats. The bass is an absolute joy to play and gets a classic Jamerson tone. I would say the neck is a bit slimmer than a lot of P basses i've played. I've tried to show everything in the pictures. Comes with a hard case. Would prefer collection/meet halfway but will post at buyers expense. Cheers, Alex

Gone, like the wind. Traded. As the chaps at Fender put it: AM PRO BASS RW OWT Model: 0193610705 Serial #: US17007719 Born: 02/2017 This has been my back up bass for a few years. I would rather match my Jazz with a Jazz, so off to the great Olympic White yonder - or wherever it turns up, I feel sure you, or whoever buys it, will enjoy it. Back in the UK for a month so it would be better to courier from here, should it sell. One small ding (pictured) which doesn’t affect the way the planet turns. Not sure about pricing - I feel sure you’ll all let me know if it’s way too cheap 😉 I will include the original pick guard. Comes with usable case, not perfect but who is? Sorry, no case candy, but I will throw in a Mars Bar.

Absolutely bloody lovely Limelight Precision. This is not a Fender bass!!! I had this made back in 2016 to be a replica of a 1976 Fender Precision. With an ash body, maple neck, overwound pickups (hand wound by Mark at Limelight), period correct headstock logo and the lightest relic finish. The bass has done probably 200 function gigs and that has really given the nitro finish a much more naturally worn look that the more heavily relic'd basses struggle to emulate. Weighing in at 3.9kg (8lb 9oz) this is a really comfortable bass to gig with and it's like putting on a nice old pair of slippers when you pick it up. The output is really strong and has the classic p-bass sound. Currently strung with a relatively new set of Elixirs but I could change these for an old set of fender flats (with tatty silk) if preferred. Why am I selling? I really really want to be a p-bass guy but i just always end up gravitating back towards Jazz basses. Trade Options!!! Jazz basses only please. I'd definitely be really interested in a Limelight Jazz. I absolutely love the build quality and they just work for me. I'd also happily consider a Japanese Jazz or a USA Jazz with apropriate cash adjustment. Ideally though I'd want either of these with rosewood or maple board and blocks. Price for a straight sale is firm at £850. I think this is fair and I'm in absolutely no rush to sell as this is still great to have around. You are absolutely welcome to come and play this without any obligation to buy. I have some nice amps and make good tea / coffee and there's always biscuits in the tin. I will package it up for postage but that would be for a courier that the buyer has arranged and the buyer takes this option at his or her own risk. I gig lots so am regularly travelling around the country and am more than happy to meet up en route to a gig. Thanks for looking! With flats on: With rounds on:

Hi Folks, Bit of a clear out going on at Silverfox Towers at the moment, so... For sale only, this completely unique Custom Build Non-Reverse Thunderbird bass that I bought in 2017 from Sean, aka @Billy Apple. The bass comes with an excellent quality hard case that I bought from @Chimike especially for this bass, as it's a bit longer than most standard 34" scale basses. For the bass & case, I'm looking for £NOW SOLD. The history of this bass from when it was first commissioned in 2013 is quite a story in itself; read more about it here: To describe the bass properly and give it it's full due, I hope Sean won't mind me quoting him from his For Sale advert at the time: "Completely unique custom built NR Thunderbird. The last of the Bachbird body blanks made from mahogany and a lovely rosewood board. Bach also supplied the two piece bridge. Routed to vintage specs by the Bass Doc, with a hand-made bone nut, vintage white scratch-plate, TRC and control cover. Pups are '66's from Steve at the Thunderbucker Ranch, along with one bevel surround and shim. Tuners are Gotoh Resolite GB528's. Vintage white top-hats with a matte white finish and set-up from John Williams at Noiseworks." I actually sold this to Rod aka @howdenspur a year after I bought it from Sean, and then did a trade with Rod last summer to get it back, specifically to use on a recording project. As I hope can be seen in the photos, it's still in excellent condition, though the matte white finish is beginning to mellow into more of an off-white colour, now that ( to me anyway) just oozes those retro rock & roll vibes! By the way, it's quite tricky to show the colour properly in the photos. The first 8 photos were taken yesterday. All the others are from 2018. Between all of those, I hope it shows what the colour is... As basses go, it's totally unique; a one-off, that sounds amazing and gets so much attention at gigs because it looks so cool. With a slim and super-fast neck, and after having been set up so well by John at Noiseworks, the bass really does play like a dream.. And it sounds great, and not just for rock either - you'd be amazed at how much of a slap monster this bass is !! "So, why are you selling? ", I hear you say, which is a good question. To which the answer is that I'm predominately using two of my basses all the time these days - my BC Rich Eagle, and a Fender P that I bought from @Mudpup recently... So much so, that I'll probably be selling a couple of my other basses quite soon too. Anyway, back on topic... Collection from Potton, Central Bedfordshire preferred, but I'm happy to drive to meet up if it's within a reasonable distance (say an hour). With a bass of this nature, I don't want to courier it - it's just too risky! Anyway, thanks for looking and if you have any questions about this amazing T-Bird, please ask away here or PM me. Cheers Nik

Charvel SAN Dimas pj in metallic blue. Beautiful looking bass. Metallic blue body, roasted neck and cream dimarzios for the pick ups. Firstly the hardware is superb on this - great tuners and a superb fender hi mass bridge. Dimarzio pickups sound just lovely. The mid p/j sound is phenomenol and reminiscent of my old usa g&l l2000. The neck is probably the best neck of any bass I've had. It more a jazz neck, its slim and fast. Very fast due to the roasted wood and satin finish. In fantastic condition just one tiny groove on the back that is very difficult to see. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY From stock these are an active and passive bass. This bass is now purely passive with the blend switch still working perfectly. The active electronics are still there, but I mistakenly put a new battery in the wrong way and it damaged the active circuit. However, a lot of people like to swap out the active electronics on these so you can get this at a bargain price and replace with what ever active circuit you want or continue just in passive mode. I'd 100% keep and play this every gig if I could, but I've gone down the tribute line again and need to replace with the basses of whom I'm covering. Any questions just ask. It's a beautiful bass at a decent price. Pick up Leyland Lancashire.

I never been one to do as I'm told

Beautiful 100% original Tokai Jazz Bass 45. Made in Japan early 1980s at the peak of Tokai's powers Three colour sunburst Only a few small nicks from the last 40 years. Great action Straight neck Collection from Leamington Spa, close to M6/M40/M42. Thanks for looking..............

Well that didn't work.... pm'd 🙂

My Ibanez SRF 700 Fretless is back on the market. It is a lovely bass and sounds great, but I'm just not playing it enough to justify keeping it hanging on my wall. Other than missing the "R" on the headstock it is in otherwise perfect condition. No scratches of dings or anything. This is the older version when they were still using rosewood for the fretboard. The neck has markers on the side of the fretboard to help you navigate but keep the very classy look of the fretless board. It is a neck-thru construction with a 5 piece maple/bubinga neck and mahogany wings. The electronics are Bartolini MK1 pickups and a piezo under the bridge. There is a two band EQ for the Bartolinis and a tone control for the piezo. Each pickup also has their own volume control. All this gives an insane amount of control over your tone. Includes a gig bag, which I can pack it in for shipping at the buyer's risk (I will insure it as well) for an additional cost (probably about £25). However, I would strongly encourage collecting from the Epsom area to avoid the risk of damage. I can deliver within a reasonable distance (up to 30 minutes drive). Open to reasonable offers.

Great bass, great bloke (even if he slaps on flats… 😃)
