MIJ Squier purchased on this very parish a couple of years back. Bought this as an attempt to transition up from short-scale Mustangs and Jaguars; loved it so much that I ended up buying a 34" P to try and now this sits in the case. I've been threatening to sell it for a while but every time I get serious a session pops up that it would be perfect for and I end up keeping hold... Such are the whims of the musician. This is an MIJ 'A' serial which I believe means 85'-86' but has obviously been refinished in a snazzy two-tone purple/green combo. You'll love it or you won't, but both shades are very nicely done. There has been a repair to the wood of the headstock near the E tuner which has been professionally repaired under a previous ownership and caused no issues since. Can do the thumpy Mustang thing with flats and roar with rounds so I will include sets of both medium scale flats and rounds cut to size plus a soft case which fits tidily. Would prefer not to post but I'm in Doncaster and travel around the country often for work. Have a variety of high-quality tube amplification you can try it through at high-quality volume if you pick up from me. Selling at price I bought for in 2019 so considering inflation it's practically a bargain! DM me for more pictures if you want anything specific.

I have reluctantly decided to sell my fantastic Elrick Evo Gold 4 string bass. It is by a country mile the best bass I have owned, but it is far too much for what I need. I play mainly at home and have come to the realization that I don’t need one of the world’s best bass guitars to do what I do. Bought only a couple of months ago it’s impossible to distinguish this guitar from a new version, it is literally in pristine condition. The action is set medium low and it plays and sounds like a dream. Please see some info on the spec below which has several significant upgrades. Ideally I prefer a straight sale but I will accept a partial trade for a bass of lesser value plus cash. The bass comes with an Elrick TKL case and tools. Please note that the latest version of this bass retails at well over 4k. The bass weighs in at a startling 3.2 kg or just over 7lbs in old money. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

NOW £295 The entry level sire with the mahogany body. This is in baby blue with matching headstock. Through body or top loading on the bridge (modded read further..) So the Sire miracle is well known, inexpensive and punch well above their pay grade. the rolled neck is lovely. Down side are the heavy cheap tuners (neckdive city..) and the non standard screw pattern on the bridge. I have changed the machine to a wilkinson clone of the hipshots which look good and work well. I have also modified a fender hi mass bridge for through stringing and set the bridge slightly further back then stock which to my ear slightly darkens the over all tone to the better. Carbon fibre wrap on the scratch plate Metal knobs on the pre amp. Couple of little dints as it has been gigged but no huge gouges or 'road worn' aesthetic. Nice looking and playing bass with no neck dive. Would consider a trade against Yamaha 424x or 425x Other wise priced £100 or so less than a new one, with the additional hardware.

I didn't think this day would come... After using Dingwall basses some years I have decided to part from these two gems. Why? Are they bad? No! Not at all! The opposite, actually. I have owned Prima 6, Sklar, Super J5, Super P5, a beautiful Afterburner 5, A super P4 and this jewel, the Super J4 that can be converted to a Super JP4 in a matter of minutes. I find myself grabbing my five string Payson Supercharger P/J or my precious custom made Unicorn Purist 5 at least 99 % of the time. Also, I get older and feel the urge or need to clear the storage. I use mostly my five strings, and occasionally my Jazz bass and Peavey T40, who are yearlings. (1979) About the bass: The Super J is light with an alder body. The bridge pickup is placed close to the bridge, like a 70's Jazz Bass. It has a very versatile J Retro Deluxe preamp, but I have never used the eq. I prefer it flat. The tone is the same, active or passive. The passive tone control works in both active and passive mode. I use that tone control, never the active eq. The neck is to die for. It feels like it has been played since the 60's. The fingerboard edges are rolled and kind of "worn in". The bass is refinished, a guy in Stockholm started the job in January 2020. Then suddenly Covid struck and the world closed down. I rushed and got it back half made, and did the rest of the job myself with cellulose lacquer, but honestly, I haven't buffed or polished it at all. I'd call it matte. The bass has 32" G string, 32,75" D string, 33,5" A string and 34,25" E string, making the string-to-string balance and tension very even. You don't need to use Dingwall strings on the bass; I often use regular D'Addario strings. They work well, actually better balance than on a traditional bass. The original Super J electronics was malfunctioning, either the pot or the treble part of the preamp. I put that in the package too, mounted on the original bell plate. The Super J has ordinary D'Addario strings. No trades, unless you give me an offer I can't refuse... LOTS of pictures on request! The price is £2300 or 2540€ plus cost of shipping.

Absolutely superb Spector NS2000 in excellent condition, no dings or scrapes, only very light swirling on the body under bright light. There’s really nothing to fault on this bass, notes ring clear and evenly across all strings and the entire range of the instrument. Weight is 4.2kg All hardware inc truss rod working properly, preamp / controls also functioning normally. Comes with a well used SKB ABS style case. I have a box and packaging so this can be made secure for shipping, which will cost £25 in the UK (uninsured). Happy to discuss other shipping options of course. Additional note: After withdrawing this bass last year, I upgraded the bass with gold Gotoh tuners, gold bridge and Euro knobs (for more of a proper NS vibe). See additional pics further down the thread. If the buyer wishes to keep all of these, then the price will be £600 and I will include the original black hardwear too. Otherwise, I will return the bass to stock (as pictured) and sell for £500. Trial / collection also welcome in Cardiff.

Following the purchase of a Super-J, my Dingwall D-Roc standard 4 string is now available. Purchased by me from new in 2022 this is a great bass, passive but very punchy with a wide range of tones available. Stupidly easy to play and very light weight. It has internal dunlop strap locks and I will include (if you like it) the levi strap I found which I felt matched the bass colour pretty well. Also included is the Dingwall gig bag and allen key set. As you can see from the pictures, no dings or buckle rash. This a sale item, not looking for trades. If you know anything about Dingwalls you will know the high spec of their basses. I live in Milton Keynes but would travel a fair way to meet half way, but open to people coming and trying it out first. If you want it shipped, it would be at additional cost and I would suggest getting it insured for transit. UK sales only. This is a good price for a bass of this age and condition.
