GORGEOUS shell pink p bass originally from walshy. Alder body, slab design with a very light relic (I believe by Dave Wilson). This was my first proper p and it’s wonderful. I did make some changes: Original neck swapped for a Nate Mendel. It’s worn but in a good way and suits the bass much better imo. tort plate one of the badass saddles developed a problem so I replaced with hipshot kickass saddles. Gives the advantage of adjustment to the spacing as well Weight is a tad over 9lbs. Pickup a fender 62. Cts pots. Shipping is an option….

Pretty confident these basses need little introduction. I bought this beauty before the Thomann deals that witnessed a Basschat frenzy in buying these up...i think simply because they're very excellent basses....in my view probably the best basses Squier have released to date! I paid a bit more than the Thomann prices from Peach guitars early in July this year, quite a bit more in fact as i had the bass plekked also, making this bass very much perfect. Selling as i have another P incoming with a preferred Jazz width neck and its a bit of a Xmas present upgrade from the Mrs This bass is in excellent condition and looks stunning - couldn't find a mark on it, plays amazingly smooth, sounds fantastic (Tone is very effective across the spectrum), and weights only 8.1lbs making it easy on the back. I am sure the buyer will be very contented. £250 + postage , happy to courier at cost around £20 ish, £40 ish if wanting insure (wifey is legendary at her packing!).

Need this gone folks so im taking roughly 10% off the asking price, I can also accept a holding deposit to allow the new buyer some time to pay, Now only £5950, has to be a bargain for this lovely vintage P bass I had no intention of ever selling this for a good few years at least but due to a big domestic change in my life I have no choice as I need to raise the much needed funds.... So I acquired this from the owner who had bought it in 1968 and used it up until 2000 or so and in 2014 decided to get it re-fretted and finished in its original colour of Fiesta Red I have the invoice from Ray Cooper Guitars in Herts outlining the work he carried out Body striped and refinished Neck striped and refinished and refretted, new logo Changed out the pots and new pickguard fitted and pickguard screws changed The original scratchplate is there with the metal plate that was under it but he had his name ( Brian ) properly etched below the thumbrest I had bought a 60's Plate that I got from walshy and used that instead The new pots have now been replaced with a set of 1966 ones with the proper tone cap, not cheap.. The tuners have now got a set of 1962 Klusons fitted as the previous owner didnt like the reverse ones and installed the later models It has been refinished to a very high standard and the neck is just sublime with a lovely flame at the back, weight is 3.55 Kg's One of the leads came off the back of the pickup when dismanteled but has now been resoldered on The previous owner did not play it at all since it was refinished so that is why he decided to sell and enjoy his retirement This work cost £1080 in total, invoice will be in the case The Fender case is from 1968 and is in a s new condition with the locking key , it was kept in a bag under the bed and never used Just a few pics now but I will upload a lot more tomorrow I have priced this due to the refinish and the non original pots but I know that the new owner will not be dissapointed, it really is a cracking bass Serious offers will be considered, case can be removed from the sale to help reduce the price if that helps. Any questions guys please fire away

Firm price final drop I love this bass but why am i selling it - it's because i have sausage fingers and this has a narrow 16mm string spacing - still very playable but just prefer wider Apart from that it sounds superb and as a glassy neck that's the fastest i've ever had, effortless McCartney/Byrds tones - warm woody thump. I took this and an MIA Pro P Bass to a studio session and used this on 7 out of 8 tunes - can here it here (Back out on the Run is the only P Bass track) https://greenhorses.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-milkshed Blurb: Number 40 of only 75 made (or might be 70) comes with Chris Hillman signed certificate of ownership. Signed on the trust rod cover. Byrds logo inlay at 12 fret.. Awesome Bisonic pup, 8.5lbs but feels way lighter compared to my J bass which is 9.5lbs, for a short scale 30 3/4 inch with big body it feels more like a full scale bass at 46" in total length. Bone nut. cream binding, arched laminated maple in beautiful sunburst. Strung with D'addario flats and set up by my guitar tech pal so has a super low action with no fret buzz or dead spots. Can be seen here It does not have the case but i have a padded gig bag that fits perfectly and sturdy box for UK shipping at £25 - or meet up in North West/ West Yorks - i'd be happier if you came and played it if you can. Sale only please no trades

Can’t believe I’m doing this but getting rid of my lovely overwater J series. Maple neck with mother of pearl inlays. Lovely John East preamp and bartolini noiseless pickups. I’ve used this loads in the west end and never had any issues with noise. I’ll add more photos next few days. Includes a case and strap!

Shergold Marathon Mk1 1976 UK Made Here is another bass I’m selling on. It’s a very early Shergold Marathon in black finish. You can see it’s an early one as it has the Hayman 40/40 type neck with pinned on logo and black circular plug at the rear and trussrod adjustment at the back of the body under the serial plate. It also has a large black scratch plate to cover what would have been a larger rout for the bigger Hayman pickup assembly. This is a hand made bass and has an amazing slim neck, it’s also got the best flamed figuring I’ve ever seen on a Shergold bass - just lovely. The bass is all original apart from the pots, these have been swapped out for a simple volume and tone control. Originally it would’ve been a stereo bass with a switch to disable the stereo. At some point a coil tap has been fitted and then disabled. The switch has been removed and the hole plugged with a plastic cap. The bass sounds fantastic and is very versatile. The Shergold pickups are powerful and articulate. They were quite a ‘name brand’ in the 70’s and 80’s played by such diverse musicians as Peter Hook, Mike Rutherford and Julian Cope. They have subsequently become a respected and sought after brand and recently revived in the UK. This one has evidence of lacquer cracking as is common with the brand and looks to have been oversprayed. There are paint touch ups here and there too. When I got it it had binding hanging off as the glue had dried out and the frets needed reseating. Now it plays very well and is strung with D’Addario 40-100s. There was a diagonal slot in the board near the highest fret and a small screw hole touched up with paint and another slot cut into the binding. Not sure what this was for - possibly a midi pickup? It wasn’t impact damage as it had been deliberately created, it didn’t cause any issues however I had it filled. It’s a little headstock heavy thanks to those 70’s stock tuners but does balance okay on a strap. It weighs 3.7kgs so very light and perfect for long gigs. A classic UK made bass with Burns lineage. Sorry no trades and UK only. Pickup preferred but I could be persuaded to post at buyer’s cost.
