Hi folks, up for sale is my wonderful Moon PB 4 in shell pink. Moon basses are built in Japan and are used by famous bass players like Larry Graham and Pino Palladino. The building quality is -sorry I have to mention it- by far higher than Fender basses. At the time I placed the order for this one, I had a Fender American Vintage II at home to compare these two. And the Moon blew the Fender away. Specs: - 2 Piece alder body - Rosewood Fingerboard - Oxalys Moon Pickup - 42 mm nut - nitro finish - including Moon Gigbag At the moment it is strung with Thomastiks Flats. Truss rod works without any problems. Frets are in quite new condition. Shipping is possible at buyer‘s risk and costs. Feel free to write me a pm in case there are any questions. This is the exactly the bass I bought at bassfreaks with soundsample: https://bassfreaks.net/products/moon-pb-classic-shell-pink

Up for sale is my Dragonfly FAT-J5 , this is a super jazz in the truest sense of the word, the build quality and attention to detail is outstanding....The only reason for sale is an itch in the form of a Musicman Stingray 5h that must be scratched !....the bass is in lovely condition bar a couple of small marks....bass plays and sounds wonderful!.....specs are as follows Body- 2 piece alder Neck- 5 piece maple/ walnut ( maple quarter sawn )...15.75 radius 34 inch scale along with stainless steel frets which adorn a flamed maple fingerboard. Hardware- GOTOH....404-5 bridge and GB30 resolite tuners (nickel) Preamp- DFBP-3.....looks complicated but is a doddle to use. Included is a Dragonfly semi-rigid gig bag which is very good quality... pickups-dfsb-5 with custom walnut covers and flush pole pieces. Looking at the bass, the attention to detail is amazing, little things like the forearm notches on the body, the maple cap on the headstock, the shape of the rear control cavity cutout, bone nut etc...Weight is 4.1 kgs Will include uk shipping in with price although this will be at the buyers own risk....will be very well packed though!.....failing this, you could always organise your own courier. There is a video on youtube of this very bass.

Yamaha TRB1005J natural. Excellent used condition. Some minor marks, most noticeably on the back of the body and some fret wear mainly on the lower frets but plays well with no buzz. Some minor tarnishing of hardware, mainly on the bridge and neck screws/collars on back of body. The input jack is slightly loose, I believe this is a common failure on these barrel jacks over time. I've purchased a replacement Neutrik jack but haven't had a chance to fit yet - it will be included with the sale. Took this in as a trade and I rather like it ... but then I picked up something Sadowsky and Japanese and I only have room for one active fiver. I've weighed this as 9.6lbs which I believe is quite reasonable for these. I have a Thomann gig bag which can be included or can ship with a very sturdy flight case on the condition it's made available for the BassChat community for anyone that should need it for shipping. Shipping to UK Only. Collection or meet-up within a reasonable distance of Orpington BR6 also an option.

Here we have a a Precision that I have put togeather. I bought the body off a fellow Basschatter, here is his description on the body which is from Guitar build I bought this used, and the original description said: "Hand finished in nitro it has been bleached with Oxalic acid then aniline dyed yellow under the sealer coat as per older 50’s/60’s factory process to give a strong yellow centre. Sunburst then applied over sealer coat with three coats of clear gloss and buffed" There is some (lovely) Relicing - see photos. The finish will become even more beautiful as it continues to age naturally. I have installed new EMG Geezer Butler signature pickups The pickguard I also got off here, its from WD music The tuners on the neck are Gotoh and fitted the existing holes perfectly The neck I have had this neck for some time and it came on a precision body which I have used for a project. The neck is the star here, when I got it the headstock logo had been badly scraped and and was in a terrible mess so I sanded down and applied a Fender logo and lacquered. Now i have had many basses over the many years that I have played and Im pretty sure that this one is an early eighties and possibly from a SQ as it has the same feel and fit as a SQ precision that I once owned and definately Japanese, truss rod at the heel, nice nut and board. You know that a neck is good the moment you put your hand on it and this one has that feel, apart from the headstock logo the rest of the neck is perfect. Maybe somebody who looks at this might be better informed than me but IMHO its good. Very little fret wear and truss rod turns both ways In total this has cost me more than the asking price but Im sure you wont be dissapointed. Any questions please fire away

Bought as an emergency amp last year when I blew my main amp on a wedding gig. It was used for a few weeks then put back in its box where its lived since. Tested and working. The carry bag is included and never even been out of the wrapper. The amp lived in a rack unit for a month while it filled the void. Some slight glue residue from velcro on the base side reflects this. I've gone mostly ampless now so an already surplus to requirements amp is even more surplus to requirements. Chorley area, test drives welcome. No trades thanks, I don't require any gear at the moment

Sold Heavily modified RB Vampyre, 2008, MIC. I bought this bass as original, seeing its objective potential as a modding platform. It’s a solid and well built instrument, substantial and well balanced, with a stable 3-piece maple neck, a fretboard of beautifully rich dark fine grained rosewood (remember rosewood?), an alder body and, notably, the same gold label MEC active pickups as are found on high-end Warwicks. As we’re becoming accustomed to with modern Chinese-built instruments, it’s very well constructed with good QC. Really neat. The fit of the neck pocket is so precise that the body and neck stay connected and tight even when the screws are removed, the fretwork is excellent, and the finish compares favourably to that of a MIM Fender. Though this is now way beyond the average Rockbass, as everything else is modified/ upgraded. I changed the original chrome hardware to black … New Warwick tuners, Warwick strap locks, Warwick knobs, Warwick screws, & ferrules … applied the black ‘W’ headstock-logo decal instead of the white lettering … replaced the plastic nut with brass … fitted a Hipshot Kickass bridge with brass saddles … upgraded the electronics with those from a Streamer Stage 2; high-end MEC pots, and MEC BEC-3 3-band preamp with active/ passive switching (preamp alone costs €190) … So it now feels, looks, and sounds top-drawer. Original hardware included in sale, in case you want to return it to spec. Also included is a new Rockbag gig bag. Everything is in perfect working order, the neck is true, the truss rod does its thing, and there is virtually zero fret wear. All hardware and electronics function as intended. Cosmetically very tidy, with only a very light patina. No chips, cracks, scrapes, nor gouges whatsoever. The bass is set up to play, with a medium/ low action. I understand that money invested in modifications isn’t something that generally gets good returns on the 2nd hand market, and this is well reflected in the price. Do some Googling and you’ll know that the value of what’s on offer here is significantly above the asking price, so no low-ball offers please. I’m up for trading, potentially … Ideally something I actually need, like a part trade on a 12” Markbass cab, either the NY121 or TRV121 … or possibly something I don’t need, like another bass (so long as it’s of equal or lesser value). Whatcha got to offer? I live on the Isle of Lewis, so it’s unlikely you’ll be collecting it, though I’ve posted a lot of basses in the past, and know the importance of bombproof packaging … You arrange your preferred method of postage, and I’ll make sure the bass is meticulously packed and good to go, simples. I have good feedback on here if you need to check that out. If you have any questions I’m happy to talk bass, sure. Anyway, here’s some Vampyre porn …
