This is a reluctant sale and one I'm really not sure about, but having moved away from short scale basses I thought I'd test the market. For sale is a Sandberg California II VM4 P Bass in hardcore aged shell pink. It comes with factory fitted dot inlays and an upgraded black label pickup (both optional extras). The body is alder and it has a gorgeous dark rosewood fingerboard that is a pleasure to play. The Sandberg gigbag, Allen keys and paperwork is also included. It's a 30" scale. I'm not a huge fan of the Sandberg P bass pickups as I find them very mid-light, so I swapped it out for an EMG Geezer Butler passive pickup and it sounds ace. The original wiring loom and pickup is also included and apart from having to cut a few wires to replace the pickup, no other modifications were required. This has been a dream to play and it has been gigged regularly but always well looked after. It weighs in at 7lbs 4oz. I paid £2,199 for this and while I was having back issues it really got me through some tough times. I'm looking for £1,600 picked up from near Monmouth or within an hour or so's drive but I'm also happy to post fully insured. I'm not looking for any trades thanks.

Bought this from baggy bass in feb to try a five string but can’t get on with it (please see that listing for the specs and the update preamp instal comes with flight case and new elixir nickel 45/130’s brilliant instrument and workmanship if you can play it ‘ even better ! thanks for looking )

Up for sale is what I lovingly call my super bitsa funky P bass. It has a MIM Fender rosewood Jazz neck with blocks and bindings. The nut is 38mm. Super light 3 tone sunburst Alder body (bought from Bass Doc on here). The pick up is a genuine Fender ‘original’ series. The gold bridge, tuners and hardware have been upgraded to gold Sandbergs. These are fantastic. The wiring is from Kiogon. The strings I believe are TI roundwounds. The scratch plate is anodised gold metal. This is a top notch P bass. The only reason for selling is that I just bought the gold walshy bitsa P bass from here. Unfortunately it’s 1 in 1 out from now on. Looking for a very reasonable £600.

Hi, I have a pair of Schroeder 1212L 800w 2x12 cabs for sale, one 4 ohm (NOW SOLD) and one 8 ohm (STILL AVAILABLE). Only selling as my project priorities are changing. They weigh in at around 19.5kg each, so they're very lightweight and compact too, at W 60cm x H 40.5 x D 40.5. The bass extension is incredible yet they remain tight and cut through without being obtrusive - a very clever design by Jorg Schroeder. £350 each, collection from Salisbury Wiltshire or I may be able to help with delivery within a reasonable distance for the cost of fuel.

SOLD - my ACG Custom Krell 5 string in first class condition. No dings or scratches. An outstanding example of Alan's work with a beautiful Art Aqua Maple Burl fretboard. Ash back and front, with a white limba chambered centre. Ash neck. All finished in satin lacquer. Headless 31.5" scale with 24 frets. Strings at 18mm centres. Weight 4.6kg. ACG FB Alnico pickups with active ACG EQ01 4k. Dunlop straplocks and Elixer strings. I am retired now and reluctantly slimming down my bass collection to just the essentials. This bass features ACG's custom headstock which allows the use of any type of strings on this bass. No need for double ball ends. The pre-amp features a stacked filter and resonance control for each pick up giving a huge range of sounds from thumping reggae to crisp slap. Stacked Volume and Blend pot and a separate stacked tone control to further boost the sound. The bass plays really well, with a fast action either strung B to G or E to C, which is my preference. The bass will come strung and set up to your preference with a spare B or C string accordingly. The bass comes with a Mono padded gig bag and adjustment tools. Here's a link to ACG for the specs. https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0391krelletype-5-31-5/ Please contact me for any further details and the bass can be shipped at extra cost, but a meet up would be preferable. Thanks for looking.

First things first, this pedal is excellent but just not what I need right now. For anyone who hasn't heard about it, it's designed to emulate Justin Chancellor's main drive tone in a single pedal, a modded RAT with EQ and a clean blend (possibly one of the best clean blends I've heard). That being said it's capable of way more than that, it can get add a really nice warm saturation all the way up to searing tight fuzz tones. For more checkout the Lusithand website. It's an excellent pedal which I'd love to keep but it's not quite right for the band and therefore I can't justify keeping it. These are £215 I believe so save yourself some cash! Boxed and postage can be arranged at buyers expense. Here's great a review @0175westwood29

Increasing decrepitude means I am selling off all my long scale basses and my shift to short scale is almost done. Bit of background on this one. I had a quality MIJ Faker for a while that I absolutely loved but, at well over 10lbs, it was never going to stay so I sold it. But, having dipped my toe in the Ric water I found I still had a hankering for a clank Davie @kodiakblair came to my rescue with a Retrovibe starter kit - at the time sporting a ssingle MM pickup but with loads of bits thrown in. So I set about getting this made up for me. So here it is - a Retrovibe Renegade bass sporting a Guyker RKH-IV N pickup and a Retrovibe toaster, bezel and blanking thingemy. New scratchplate with VVTT Ric style knobs - with so many it is easy to get confused so they handily have their purpose written on top. 3 way selector switch. Through-stringing on the bridge which, although not really like a Ric's, is a sensible design. Set neck, 34* scale. 43mm wide at the nut but fairly shallow, 19mm string spacing at the bridge. This is very comfy to wear and play. In exceedingly good condition with just one ding on the back of the underside, shown in a picture. Currently strung with TI Flats. Does it look like a Ric? Yes, a passable imitation. Does it sound like a Ric? Yes, a passable imitation. But this is where this bass and Rics part company - this weighs 3.4kg/7.5lbs. And, at £300, it is at least £1200 cheaper than a used Ric. Price is firm and, I believe represents exceptional value. Collection only from SS7, Benfleet in Essex. Or meet half way or maybe I might deliver it for fuel costs, depending. I don't want to courier so please don't ask. Not after any trades, either.

Absolutely fantastic compressor based on the Dimond comp with some refinements. I’m gonna regret getting rid as it’s pretty special but I don’t need a compressor on my current board so it’s gotta go 🥲 Loads of glowing reviews of this comp, it’s certainly my favourite I’ve tried although I’ve never had a Cali76. A bargain price of £125! Can post at buyers expense (usually around £8 tracked)

Those fractal tops are amazing, nearly had one on my Krell fretless. Really can't see a better value or better built option on the market than a pre-loved ACG... GLWTS

Original Musicman Stingray (2003 model) pickup and preamp wiring. Well used, but all functional. Recently upgraded to an Aguilar pickup / East preamp combo, so now redundant. Preamp has extra wiring in place for a bypass switch, but could be removed if not wanted. £60 posted.

As you say @Paul S, seems like an absolute steal to me. Can’t believe it hasn’t sold at that price. Maybe the shipping options are holding it back, but there’s ways around that surely. GLWTS 🤘

Headphone amp in good condition. However no box or accessories. Will be packaged well for shipment. Collection from Nottingham NG5 or postage at cost. Specs from Phil Jones: Mobile Amp and Audio Interface The PJB BigHead is not big at all. In fact it is barely larger than an iPhone. The “Big” is about the sound. It functions first as an awesome bass headphone amplifier with 2 band EQ ( +/- 18db @ 60 Hz and +/- 18dB @ 5KHz) set for optimization of all kinds of bass instruments. Unlike consumer electronic MP3 players and smartphones that have very small power output of around 20 milliwatt to drive headphones, the BigHead has more than 10 times the power. This contributes to a far more exhilarating listening experience with increased resolution and dynamics. Even if you are just listening to music, the BigHead will be a great improvement to your regular headphones, adding more listening pleasure. A more important function of the BigHead is being a recording tool both in digital and analog. As an Analog Digital Converter, it has the finest BURR BROWN digital components. The USB out is 48KHz 16Bit digital conversion. In other words, recording your bass into Pro Tools will give you exactly what you wish for and absolutely nothing else. Maybe you need an analog preamp. The Big Head can do that too. It will provide up to 12dB of gain and better than 96 dB signal to noise ratio. Just use the headphone out jack to feed an amp or mixer. It is also a perfect match with PJB powered monitors, the PB 100 or PB 300. It has an internal lithium-ion rechargeable battery that is fed by its USB jack, so any computer or appropriate cell phone charger can charge it in less than 3 hours, but it can play for up to 8 hours.

The last of my long scale basses to get listed. Here we have a totally awesome 1970s Antoria Precision, made by Fujigen who were producing exceptional quality instruments back then. This is no exception, totally fantastic bass. Scruffy black body with lots of dings and scratches although nothing through the paint. At some point someone has put on a solid black scratchplate which makes it look at bit Roger Waters. But please don't let that put you off! 😂 The neck is just fabulous. Warm, aged maple 40mm at the nut but reasonably deep D section. An absolute perfect fit for my hand. Antoria on headstock looks to me to be mother of pearl. New Gotoh GB-10 tuners. Weighs in at a very reasonable 3.8kg/8.4lbs. But here is the surprise. I tried to date the bass using the pickup serial numbers and, ably mentored by Jon @Bassassin discovered that the pickups are, in fact, genuine 1975 Fender pickups. No wonder it sounds so damned good. Deep and angry but cutting through in the upper mids. I could try to maximise the value for me, take out the Fender pickups, stick in some Toneriders or something and make an extra £100 but I honestly can't be bothered. I flag that up as an option for a buyer, although in this current form this bass is an absolute killer rock machine. £450 firm, collected from SS7, Benfleet, 20 mins east of J30 on the M25. Can meet halfway or possiibly deliver for fuel, depending on distance. And extra £50 will get you a top quality SKB hard case, still with its key!! Nevertheless I won't courier this so please don't ask. OK, going to resize my pics...

I'm lucky enough to own a very similar bass, albeit in 6 string flavour. This is an absolute bargain for an incredible instrument from one of the best. Good luck with the sale! Eude

I bought one a while back and ordered it in the blue but changed my mind and got the black instead. It was a backup for my Aerodyne, but I honestly play it more. They have lovely necks, really comfortable to play and sit well with no neck dive. If I lived closer, I would be there in a shot. The only change I have made to mine is to fit Hipshot Machine Heads. If I had to sell 3 of my four basses, my M2 would probably be the one I kept.
