A really nice Passive short scale bass in Olly White that sounds monstrous, probably due to the Neodymium pick up and excellent electronics. Mahogany body, Maple Neck and beautiful Rosewood Fingerboard. Very easy to play with a low action & weighs a mere 3.5Kg, or 7.7lbs in ‘old money’ I’ve changed the bridge barrels for one’s that are a bit smaller in diameter to achieve a lower action, as I think the original MusicMan ones are meant for their long scale jobbies - but the original ones will be included if you don’t mind a higher action and want to swap them back. Can’t see any damage albeit with my old eyes, apart from a few very light marks on the control plate which would probably polish out with a bit of chrome cleaner and overall I would rate the condition as being 9/10 - at least. Controls are Master Volume - with handy Push Volume Boost, Three way pickup selector and Master Tone. These retail at £699 at Bass Direct & £749 at GAK so grab a bargain. WARNING - it’s very hard to put down once you start noodling😂😂 Can post to the U.K. Mainland for £25.00 via ExpressAM, before Midday - next day. What MusicMan say……… The StingRay Short Scale bass has the iconic StingRay sound shrunk down into a 30” scale length package. With easier accessibility, a passive boost, and a single humbucking pickup with higher output neodymium magnets, the StingRay Short Scale offers comfortability without compromise. The versatile pickup configuration includes parallel, true single-coil, and series modes for diverse tonal options. Finished in Olympic White. DYNAMIC TONE CONTROLS The StingRay Short Scale features a neodymium humbucking pickup with 3-way rotary switch. The pickup configuration includes parallel, true single-coil, and series modes.

*SOLD* Howdy all, Selling my 2021 Fender JMJ Mustang in Daphne Blue, mainly because I’m shallow & prefer the colour of my black one & I really don’t need two! I bought this directly from BassBros earlier this year & it certainly lives up to the hype these models have, as it’s a joy to play & sounds amazing with everything exactly as it should be. The action is low to medium & it’s strung with flats & currently sporting the pictured groovy scratchplate, as in addition to playing it I’ve used it as a model for my plates at GIG.INK - hence all the pics - so it'll come with your choice of plate plus of course its original white pearl plate along with the thumb rest. Alas no soft case, so collection only please unless you want to send me a case for shipping. Priced for collection from me in Bedford MK42 so you can have a proper noodle before parting with any lolly - & naturally chat over a brew too - but if distance is an issue then I will wrap it securely if you send me a hard case & arrange your own courier. Payment via BACS or PayPal plus fees please, & no low ball offers or trades please - or magic beans or golden geese - as I’m good for gear now. I’m behind GIG.INK to hopefully give you some faith in my word & that I’m traceable. Cheers Tim

Hey Folks! Here’s a really stunning bass i have up for grabs! It had only two owners before me and has all the right specs including the highly desirable B00 serial number and black epoxy preamp! The overall patina of the bass really adds to the look and feel (if you’re into that) The only none original part on the bass is a possible refret! If it has been done it’s a a pro job! The frets will be dressed in my workshop and a full setup done with fresh strings before it leaves. (I’m away this week so will be done when i return) Comes with a Hiscox hard case and the price includes UK shipping. weight is just over 10lbs feel free to ask any questions

Up for sale is my Elrick platinum single cut 5 string. Its been a brilliant bass... I believe its a 2008 model, but cannot be certain? I've owned it for about three years and never had an issue with it at all. Its gonna be a hard one to let go! Features are... 35" Scale, though having a zero fret feels closer to a 34" scale than any 35"er I've played before.... Aguilar 3 band preamp - Volume and pan and Bass/Mid/Treble - Active/passive and mid scoop switches Lundgren single coil pickups with wooden (Wenge?) pickup covers - I received the bass with these fitted, and am very impressed with the sound. Quite similar character to Bartolini pickups. Having never heard of Lundgren pickups before, I was a little unsure, but these have sounded so good for anything I have needed them for. They are a small Dutch custom company. The main body wings are swamp ash, so the bass is very light weight. Maple neck. I can't really tell you much about the rest of the woods as I am uncertain what they are? I think the top is some sort of spalted maple (or Buckeye Burl has been suggested below), and have no idea with the fretboard (Wenge perhaps?)? Heel tone block could be Walnut and Padauk/Rosewood? Perhaps someone can say if they know? I will try and contact Elrick and see what they have to say? All in all for the age of the bass its in excellent condition... It does have signs of age as any used instrument would, however there is nothing to stand out as problematic? No real scratches or heavy dings... Anything it does have are minor and hard to spot and photograph. Given the cost of this bass, I would ask any interested party to come and play the bass first. I may be able to meet you if its within reasonable driving distance of Sheffield. It will be pickup only also due to the cost. It comes with a Hiscox light flite case. The case itself has a minor crack on the lid corner... The case still serves its function and protects the bass. I wouldn't fly with this particular case in cargo hold (this is where the crack happened with a different bass inside), but for running around day to day from gig to gig it is more than good! I trust these Hiscox cases after 20 years of using them (not endorsed, though could do with being! ). Frets are in great condition. Also has holes for Straplocks (Dunlop I believe?) I don't have the strap parts for then, but can see if I can find them, but they are available online. It doesn't have any traditional strap buttons, so you will need these if you opt for this bass. Price is firm. These go for north of £4000 to £5500 nowadays new. I would consider trades for high end basses, but need some cash to me in the deal as well. Shuker 5, Sei bass Flamboyant 5, Goodfellow/GB Rumour 5, Stingray 5, Lightwave 5, Maruszscyk Sputnik/Joker 5's, etc will be considered as partial trades. Any basses ideally 34" scale 5 strings, but we can see? Message me to discuss any potential trades?

Putting out a feeler for any interest for my 80’s Yamaha PB400R. Bought from BB earlier in year and in excellent shape for its age, only couple of small battle scars to the finish. Only thinking of selling to fund another mij P bass as I also have a 79’ Pulsar 400 in immaculate condition, which I’m hanging on to, and happy to keep this too if the mij P I’m looking at sells. Case not included but could be added for extra and then I’d be happy to ship it in it 👍

Ampeg Pro Series PR810H cabinet in used condition. It has some scrapes and marks but still sounds great and is capable of working at sound levels that are frankly, a bit daft - one for those playing in bands with 100w Marshall heads and multiple 4x12s. 😬 It's heavy and cumbersome but it sounds absolutely fantastic. 😀 I'm technically putting this ad up for a friend although I'm assuming all responsibility should the cabinet sell through the forum. Any prospective buyers are welcome to test the cabinet in my live room at the the studio (www.synkronize.co.uk) where it can be thoroughly examined - please PM me if that's you. I have the Trace V6, Fender Bassman 135, Trace 400SMX and SVT CL on hand to test the cab with or you're of course welcome to bring your own amplifier. This cabinet is exceptionally heavy - the typical Ampeg 810e, Marshall VBA 810, Orange 810, Trace 1084 etc are all easier and lighter than this cab. It's built more like a pro-grade L'Acoustics PA enclosure than an instrument spec cabinet so when I say this thing weighs around the 100 Kg (more than 200lbs) mark, I'm not kidding, it's a true monster! 🤣 ❤️ 1200w RMS power handling or split 2x 600w RMS Ampeg rate the cab at 2400w or 2x 1200w Program. The reality is, you'd have to work really quite hard to cause it any harm Cast frame, Edge wound and vented pole-piece 150w Eminence drivers Dual Fostex HF units - both with adjustable attenuators Quarter inch jack and Speakon input / patching Heavy duty wheels and integral handles / skids Collection only from Synkronize Music Group / Sun Street Studios in Hanley, Stoke on Trent. Bring a strong friend and a Volvo estate - it won't fit in an Aygo. 😆 In terms of sound, overall it's a little more aggressive than my 410HE / 115E combination offering a bit more upper mid 'bite' and 'clang'. It doesn't seem to have too much of a 'bass bump' in the low end and as such, seems to give quite a consistent and present bottom - possibly a little more than the usual cab of this configuration. https://ampeg.com/support/files/Discontinued User Manuals/PR810H/PR-810H.pdf Feel free to check my feedback - I've been a member here for nearly 12 years and have more than a few sales and purchases through the forum. Many thanks, Matt

Received in a trade and I just cannot get used to fretless no matter how hard I try so this Status P width unlined fretless neck is up for sale. It has to be said it is incredibly smooth - unlike some of the sticky finishes I've had on Status necks before - and is absolutely sublime to play. It is equipped with Hipshot Ultralite tuners and has been correctly drilled / countersunk in standard Fender configuration. 43mm at the nut, 20.3mm depth, 63.5mm width at the heel. Comes with Fender neck plate with plastic protector pad and correct neck screws for the holes. Will ship it anywhere or it can be collected on the Wirral. I could also meet up within 50 miles or so.
