Lakland Skyline 55-02 Deluxe in Translucent Purple - £975 (INCLUDING Lightweight Hardcase & UK Delivery) - Stunning, high-end 5 String 35” Scale Lakland Deluxe bass, the “Deluxe” part meaning it is made with premium tone-woods (Ash Body, Quilted Maple Top, Maple Neck & Ebony Fretboard) - One of the most versatile basses around with MM/J pickup config and coil tap switch for the bridge humbucker MM pickup giving you 3 options, splitting the coil in 2. - 1st position is top row of coils only activated (60’s Jazz Bass bridge pickup position) 2nd position is the bottom row of coils activated (70’s Jazz Bass bridge pickup position) and 3rd position is both rows of coils activated, which is ‘Stingray mode’ - Disclaimer: It doesn’t sound exactly like a Stingray! 😆 But you can get pretty close and it’s still a really funky sound in its own right anyway - Bass is in fantastic condition, not really been gigged much by me and the finish remains perfectly in tact - visually it’s a stunning bass and a real eye catcher that gets loads of comments about the looks as well as how it sounds - Ebony Fretboard on a Flat sawn Maple neck with a satin finish, which as is the case with almost all Lakland’s, it is extremely comfortable to play - Finished in stunning translucent purple with no chips or dents in it. The finish allows you to see the grain of the wood, with the Ash at the back & sides contrasting beautifully with the Quilted Maple veneer on the top (**See pics below for close ups of grain/finish 😍**) - Premium Lakland LH3 Electronics (3B boost & cut Preamp & MM/J Pickup config with coil tap switch as explained above) Really great musical sounding preamp, Bass is set at a very useful 125hz and the mids can be selected from 18 different available frequencies between 275hz & 1100hz using the dip switches in the control cavity - The Lakland LH3 pickups are really great sounding and are made to work with the LH3 preamp so the obviously sound great together. One of the best testaments to the LH3 pickups is that you virtually never see a 55-02 that has had modified pickups, because there’s very little out there you can get that’ll make any measurable improvement and there’s no reason to as the LH3 ones are schweeeeet! 😁 - 35” Scale gives you a really great sounding low B string, as all the 35” scale Lakland’s are famous for. Strings can be done through the body or through the bridge. - As this is the “Deluxe” model it comes with pretty much everything the US 55/94 Model comes with, which is all the premium tonewoods as already mentioned, flatsawn maple neck with Graphite Reinforcement Bars, and the premium electronics as mentioned above Im sad to let this go, but I have very much priced it to sell. This isn’t an average 55-02 that’s been gigged hard with standard features - it’s a top end Lakland made with the same premium parts as the US models, and it is then sent to the US for final QC, so apart from the assembly in the far east, I really to struggle to see what the value is in a US model at 3 x the price of this £975 [inc case & UK shipping!] **Includes a lightweight hardcase/semi hardcase (like a hard foam type case - anyway It’s brand new and Is absolutely perfect to ship it in as it’s light but will protect the bass!) AND U.K. Shipping!** Not really looking for trades, however if you do have something you think I’d be interested in drop me a message with it and the worst I can say is “No Thanks” The only Trades I have in mind currently that I’d seriously look at are: - Sadowsky MetroExpress (Made in China) as a PX with cash my way, Or - Straight swap for a Yamaha BBP35 (MIJ), …but I can be pretty susceptible to a Deal 😁 so feel free to try me!

Jaydee Bass Guitar, Roadie Active Model in 4 String - Serial Number 01064. I have had this bass overhauled by my guitar tech, pots, electronics all perfect, hardware all cleaned and like new to be honest. Side/Front Red LEDS are fitted and all working great. This was a customer order with JD and the neck is very thin and so much more playable.. A great bass, sad to see her go but I have needed to move to 5 string basses for work and so I can't have her sitting in the studio not being played in the case. Comes with a gator hard flight case too! To get one of these new (which in my view aren't the same) you'll wait around 2+ years to get the bass made... you can have one right now so get in touch!!

This is the last bass I have that I’m selling. It’s a 1990-1991 Squier Japan Precision. The bass has been professionally set up, the pots have and jack socket have been replaced and it’s got a new set of D’Addarrio Chromes on it. The bass has wear and tear and has been used. The vintage frets are quite low as I’ve tried to picture. There are marks on the back of the neck and the bass finish has scratches as you’d expect. I guess you’d class it as vintage nowadays… The bass is light (will weight it tomorrow) and has a very narrow jazz bass style neck. I can add a soft case. Collection is preferred, but I can now post. Reduced to £299

SOLD Price drop to £475 For sale, absolutely no trade offers whatsoever please, and yes I really mean that. 2021 Fender Player 75th anniversary Precision bass, in black / black / maple, 34” long scale, right handed, with upgraded pickups, knobs & wiring, and gig bag. Before I go any further as I know how important this can be, it weighs 3.9Kg / 8.6lbs on my digital luggage scale. It’s still a big ol’ chunk of wood, but lighter than every USA P I’ve had and balances well. It’s in excellent condition as you can see from the photos, has been well looked after (always in hard case when not being played) & is very shiny! There are no dings, paint chips, chunks out of the neck or headstock nibbles. The only minor cosmetic blemishes are: some scratching on the pickguard, 3 longish scratches on the back of the body below the cutaway (very hard to show well on photos as the body is so shiny that it just acts as a mirror!), and some small scratches looking down from the top of the body towards the pickguard, where I tried a trick I read about, which was to slightly unscrew 2 pickguard screws and slide a pick into the gap. I put a Tortex wedge in there, then when I slid it out, that powdery coating stuff that’s on them when new left these scratch marks on the body (I won’t be doing that again!). I’m guessing these may be able to be polished out by someone who knows what they’re doing, but if you know anything about black basses, these marks really aren’t that bad compared to the battle scars than can and do end up on them, and only really noticeable in certain lights / angles anyway, but I’d rather mention these minor blemishes as I pride myself in honest descriptions. It has a really lovely gloss poly maple fingerboard with nice fast satin urethane finish on the back of the neck. Usual 1.625” P width nut. The neck profile is fantastic, and always felt ‘just right’ to me. It’s not scrawny, but far from baseball bat territory, very comfy on the hands. Front to back, with digital calipers, it measures 0.825” at the 1st fret, and 0.905” at the 12th fret. I’d say it’s the nicest Precision neck I’ve ever played, and this includes USA models. The fretboard edges are nicely rounded and smooth. I know this isn’t always the case with Mexican Ps, but it genuinely feels as smooth and round as a USA neck to me. I’m actually quite sad to see it go generally, but especially for how nicely the neck plays. It has a Fender 75th anniversary logo on the back of the headstock, which is a nice touch. It’s strung with GHS Pressurewound M7200 (44-106) rollerwound ‘Alloy 52’ strings with plenty of life left in them. They are smooth and really sing. If you don’t want them, I can keep them & put some nickel rounds on instead, just let me know. Stock open gear tuners & bridge. Pickups have been upgraded to the excellent Fender Custom Shop CS62s. Box included. Wiring upgraded to USA specs via a Northwest Guitars Precision bass wiring kit: 250K CTS pots, 0.047uf orange drop capacitor & switchcraft jack. Great full range of tones compared to the stock pots. Knobs upgraded to Fender Tele / P chrome, knurled flat top knobs (099-13600-000) to fit the 1/4 inch pots, as the stock knobs were slippery & not very good. It has a non Fender 3-ply BWB pickguard. Please note I no longer have the stock pickups, wiring, knobs & pickguard, so these are not included in the sale. Feel free to check my Basschat feedback & PM me if you want to buy it or need more photos. It’s set up with a nice low to medium action & the truss rod turns as it should. It’s sold as seen and described, with the inspection tag but otherwise no paperwork or tools. Serial number shows 2021, I’ve run it through the Fender serial number lookup, and it shows as registered May 2021, see photos for spec sheet. I bought this bass in person from an eBay seller in January 2023, her son got it new & had barely played it as ended up with a different bass. They even kept the tag, which is included here. I paid £480 for this, and have spent £145 on upgrades (pickups 100, wiring loom, pots & knobs 45). It hasn’t been heavily gigged, so I think £575 is a fair price for a great condition P bass with top upgrades (& a free gig bag). I’d go as far as to say that this upgraded beast with a delightful neck and relatively light weight (for a Precision) is an outrageous bargain considering the price of a new American Pro 2 these days. I’ve owned this for a year and a half, which is quite something given the basses that have ‘passed through’ the last few years. Every time I tried anything (including dabbling in short scale), I always came back to this one. I’m a little sad to be selling it, as it’s easily as good as any USA P I’ve had, but my holy grail bass has finally come up, so I have no choice. If money wasn’t an issue (it is), I’d love to be keeping it. I’m certain that someone will be very happy with this bass. I have no box or packing materials, so am listing this as collection only from Southport. I work near St. Helens, so could meet up in that area too, or somewhere in the North West within reason. There is no hard case included in the sale, but I can hand it over in a basic padded gig bag, which from doing a lot of googling I think is a Traditional Strat / Tele bag, it fits fine, but has no straps even though there are clips for them, just carry handles, 8mm padding and a pocket. No timewasters please and absolutely no trade offers whatsoever. Hoping to sell this to an established Basschatter. Edit: Sorry must have missed this when posted the ad, think I caught this partially on one pic, but forgot to mention it, there is a 1cm scratch / scrape mark on the floor-facing edge of the lower horn, just added a final pic showing it. Not visible when playing unless you plan on playing it upside down!

Sorry

Electronic drumkit, was given to us to see if my son would be at all interested. He absolutely is not and I would like the space back. Fully working, can plug in headphones or we've tried it piped into the aux input of a guitar combo. I believe you can get MIDI out too but I've not tried. No throne or stool but will include a set of sticks. Happy to take more/better photos if there's any interest. Free to anyone who can collect from Glasgow G51. No postage on this, sorry.

Here's my Ibanez SR655 in Antique Brown Stain. I've had it a couple of years as a backup, seen a few practices and home use. There's a bit of wear under the strings that I've pointed out in one of the pictures, but its in great condition otherwise. Everything works as it should. This link contains a load of details on it https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/SR655. I had a Darkglass Tone Capsule installed instead of the usual Ibanez electronics - a very good preamp. That, combined with the PJ pickup configuration makes it a versatile bass. I'll include the original Ibanez one in the sale. Its wearing a Dimarzio Cliplock strap currently, which will be included in the sale. I am currently hunting around for the original strap buttons and will include in the sale if I turn them up in time! Happy to post at buyers expense. Get in touch if any further info needed, thanks for looking!

I have used these extensively but I no longer play large enough venues to justify keeping them given that I need to create some space. 1212L 800w 4ohms 19kg 60cmx40cmx4cm 1210L 700w 4ohms 18kg 60cmx40cmx40cm Both have signs of wear and tear but this is mainly caused by the rubber feet affecting the paint when they have been stacked. These are seriously loud and I am reluctantly letting them go. Ian

I have a few basses which just sit in their gigbags mostly , and in all honesty should be used by gigging musicians . I just potter about with my synths , and pick up one of my other basses occasionally when I get the urge . This is the best of the bunch , in terms of feel and lightness . This is a Warwick 1996 Bolt on neck , EMG Pickups with originals included done by previous owner. . It is an active bass.9v battery. The battery cover has a little scratch on it , but that's me being particular . The body is Bubinga, neck wood wenge with Warwick bronze frets . Weight 3.792 kg/ 8.36 pounds . Slight wear around pickups which have to be expected for a 28 year old bass. It comes with Warwick surface finisher polish and cloth , plus Fender clip on strap. Plus the Novini gigbag is also included. price obviously not set in stone , and offers condiered etc. Trades : Steinberger synapse 4 or 5 string . Ibanez headless etc .Badz maru bass Desktop synths . I don't mind keeping it , but it seems a waste doing so . No packing materials and never posted a bass ,so collection only .Could meet southwest up to Brockenhurst ( swt pending etc ) Thanking you
