Vincent Metropol in the gorgeous Celeste Blue finish up for grabs. This bass is an absolute joy to play and due to its honeycomb chambered body comes in at just 3.3kg or 7lb 4oz! This is pretty astonishing for a full sized Jazz style bass. It is very resonant and sounds great unplugged. This is emphasised when you plug it in, the Haussel pickups sound full and thick and provide you with all the classic Jazz bass tones. I love it but am having a bit of a bass cull at the moment. More to be listed shortly. Comes complete with the rather plush and very robust Vincent gig bag.

Now £1500 Sorry to see this one go. Open to offers, but no trades thanks. 2014 Nash PB-57. Black with maple fretboard. Imported from Humbucker Music in the states in 2018. Originally sold by Chicago Music Exchange. I’ve priced based on the price of other Nash used guitars sold more recently. A used one from the states or Europe will cost you this or more after shipping and import duties. These don’t come up often in the UK and the few retailers who sell them rarely have stock. This has a factory heavy relic. it had a sticker on its back for much of its life, this has been removed but evidence can be seen in certain lights. Please see the picture below. This bass has some real mojo. Low action and a nice growl thanks to the Nash custom wound Lollar pickup, I believe these are wound slightly hotter than the standard Lollar P pickup but not quite as hot as the overwound version. note: there are a few pickguard screws missing in the pictures but have since been replaced with suitable aged ones. Just set up with some Daddario 45-105 strings. Comes with the original Nash hard case (not pictured) collection from Alrewas DE13 or I will meet a buyer at a mutually convenient locations. Postage is available for £50 but I'd prefer to avoid this.

Fender AM Pro II Precision. Excellent condition but has been modified. Comes with original Fender Deluxe Moulded Case. Hipshot drop tuner on the E string. Monty's Guitars Retro wind precision pickup. Our Retro wind P-bass pickup is a uniquely Monty’s take on vintage P-bass tone. Based on the pickup from a 1970 P-bass and fine-tuned with a few little tweaks, this pickup has a vintage voice that perfectly balances depth and clarity. Collection from DE13 Alrewas or I can meet within a reasonable distance. Postage is available for £50 but I'd prefer to avoid this.

*Now SOLD pending the usual* Squier Vista Series MusicMaster Bass Black version from 1996 Original Vista Series pickup, original electronics In fact, all original apart from the scratchplate pictured but I will provide the original (white/parchment in colour) 30" scale length but through-body stringing means 32" scale length strings required. It's got a few blemishes and whatnot as you'd expect with its age, but have tried to capture everything as best as I can on the photos. Please get in touch if you need any other info.

**Final Price drop to 1350GBP** I'm in the process of downsizing my bass collection - for sale here is a very rare Warwick Nobby Meidel from 1983 - this is number 19! Included in the sale is the original stand, strap extension, straplocks and a brand new ABS hardcase to keep the bass safe during shipping! The bass was built in 1983 and is all original except for the strap extension and the straplock buttons and straplocks, and of course the strings! The bass has been well looked after but as you would expect from a 40 year old instrument, there are signs of wear and some other minor cosmetic flaws - all of which have been shown in the photos - particularly the last 8 photos. The bass was recently in the hands of a local luthier to give it a once over. It has just had new strings put on and a set-up done. The truss rod was also examined and it operates perfectly. I will include an allen key for adjusting the truss rod as regular ones dont fit due to the tight access As you would expect from a 40 year old bass, there is some wear to the frets but there is plenty of life left in them yet. Weight is 3,23Kg/7,12lbs Here are the details for this particular bass. These details are kindly provided by Warwick CEO Hans-Peter Wilfer: Nobby Meidel well it is one of the first ones... you are lucky...

Hi all Selling this beauty of an Ashdown amp head I'm the second owner and it has been stored all its life in the supplied carry bag which is a handy addition. In good condition with only a few minor scratches on top which don't break the surface (pictured) 800 watts weighing 4.5kg, full specs here: https://ashdownmusic.com/products/rm-800 In the interests of full disclosure - the EQ on/off button can be a bit temperamental when pushing on/off. However with a couple of tries it works fine. I didn't find this problematic as I never understood the need to turn the EQ off! However it's best a buyer knows this just in case Yours for the princely sum of 31p per watt - or £250 in old money, plus fully insured postage to UK which I would estimate at a tenner maybe. Please PM me with any questions Thanks for looking! Danny

Hi All. Sadly my long time friend and band mate Nigel Baker (Bumnote on Chat) passed way earlier this year. Nigel had a great Bass collection with many fine pieces such as this lovely, three tone sunburst G&L SB-2 with Rosewood fingerboard. The Family have asked me to sell on his instruments and this is the first Ad I've placed here on Basschat. Serial No B022659 manufactured in 1993/94. This is a great sounding professional instrument. Trust me , I know - I've stood next to it on stage many times over the years and I was always impressed by the driving power and 'punchyness' of the tone Nigel used to get out of it. Certainly one of his favorites, and mine. The Bass is In excellent condition - comes with G&L hard case. All in all, a great bass which I've priced to sell. This is now a bargain, and well worth the money for such a fabulous instrument. I'm in Southampton, Hampshire UK. Would prefer pick up collection but willing to drive (meet half way (ish)?). Will also arrange shipment, fully insured, for approx. £30. 0.

Bought 2 weeks ago from Bass Direct , 4 string Metroline vintage jazz 4 sting , 2 band eq , maple board , swamp ash , olympic white , as new obviously, 8.7lbs inc sadowsky case . Based in Berkshire , better pictures to follow at the weekend.

Gorgeous Sei PJ 4. I'd had my eye on this bass for around 6/7 years and finally got the chance to purchase it summer last year. It is wonderful in every respect but somehow I just don't gel with it, I can't explain that.... As you can see it's a traditional P body style and a very retro tele headstock. Every other aspect of the bass is pretty modern though. Finish is burgendy mist, matching headstock Alder body, maple through neck Rosewood board, beautifully figured 24 fret, 34 scale (it might be a fraction under 34 - 33 7/8 ish..) Slim jazz neck - I would describe it as a racing neck Weight approx 4kg based on my not particularly accurate scales Satin chrome hipshot tunes, drop key on the E string East preamp - vol/blend, passive tone w push/pull for passive, bass/treble stack with high frequency boost pull, mid/mid freq stack White side LEDs Nordstrand pickups Comes with a retro tweed hardcase sale or trade, I’m looking for a quality 4/5 p or j, passive. Molloon for example…

For Sale: Music Man Stingray 5H Special, black with roasted maple board + case, in immaculate condition For sale in the UK only Current online retail price for this bass in UK is £3199. You already know how good these sound! Lovely 5 string bass in pristine condition, no scratches or marks. Lovely slim neck on these with 44.4mm nut and only 62mm neck width at 12th fret. It's not been out of the house and hardly used as I'm struggling to move from 4 to 5 strings. Hence the great condition. Nice and light too for a 5'er at 8.8lbs. Fitted with black straplocks and comes with the two strap fittings as well (also black). Fitted with unused DR nickel Low Riders round-wound. Comes with its immaculate hard case and the candy and also a black SR2 Zero Mod (unused) to rest your thumb on. I'm not looking for trades on this one. You are welcome to come and look / play if you're near the Wycombe area. I will post this within the UK with ParcelForce Express 48 for £20 (uninsured) and I have a cardboard box for it to go in. Any questions, please ask away.

**SOLD** The downsizing of my bass collection continues... For sale is a Warwick Streamer Stage II from Warwick's "golden era" - where the instruments were hand-built to the highest quality using the very best components - solid brass bridges, Gotoh tuners, brass nuts etc. The sale includes a brand new Gator hardcase to keep the bass safe during shipping! The bass was built in 1991 but has been lovingly looked after as it is almost completely free of blemishes - there is only one very tiny dent on the top of the headstock - as shown in the photos. Other than that, the bass is near perfect and all original(except the strings of course!). It has also just had a fresh wax, the fretboard cleaned and oiled, new strings put on and a complete clean, service and set-up done. The service and clean included: Every part of the bridge was taken apart and thoroughly cleaned. During the reassembly, all of the adjustment screws received a little oil to protect them and to ensure they function smoothly and prevent rust. The electronics also received some love with all of the potentiometers receiving a thorough clean with a high quality contact cleaner. They all operate without any issues! The truss rod was also examined and it operates perfectly. As you would expect from a 32 year old bass with brass frets, there is significant wear to the frets but there is plenty of life left in them yet. The Streamer Stage II model needs no introduction as it is already known as a sound monster. It is one of Warwick's flagship models and is played by many top players around the world! To buy a new Stage II today will cost you around €7500!! The heavily contoured body makes this bass super comfortable to play. The bass is very versatile thanks to the active/passive switching and 2-band preamp and the electronics feature a trim pot on the pre amp that allows you to adjust the midrange as well.
