Very few of these basses made it to the UK Weight 7.8lbs Stunning instrument. Sounds great.

Other marks on the photos are just reflections - really tricky bass to photograph and do it justice.

Anyone who remembers this guy and what he could do will know exactly what to expect from this Bass, but yes, its a Paulman 5 String Custom and they're becoming rare as the proverbial rocking horse droppings... This one was custom made for my father who is no longer around, about 15 years ago was the last time it was used in anger as a gigging bass, and there a few nicks and bumps that I've tried my best to reflect in the images. She's recently (this week) been re-stringed and given a once over, but is in need of a proper setup on the bridge and the pickups repositioning, which I can arrange for a serious buyer unless they would rather do it themselves. Custom made by Paul McNab who I believe passed away around 2010? He had a reputation for crafting quality instruments and not cutting corners with materials, this thing weighs a ton! Edit 18/7 : the bass actually weighs 4.3kg which surprised me actually, as she feels really chunky compared to my other basses. A generous member of this forum has also been in touch and kindly reached out to Exotic Hardwoods UK for an opinion on the wood "looks like a Sapele body with a quilted dyed Maple top on it with an ebony guitar fingerboard on a flamed Maple neck!" Anyone who has been waiting to find one of Paul's instruments will know they don't often change hands, the last 5 string I can find online was from around 2018. But its time for this one to find a new forever home, as I don't play enough these days to justify owning such an instrument. The list price reflects the rarity as well as the quality of this instrument, and is also not far off what Bass Direct in the UK have already suggested to me if I was to sell it via them, but that means I have to take her down to Warwick! Feel free to make a serious offer, but ideally it will have to be collection from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, or I can probably deliver a reasonable distance or meet someone halfway, long as its not some crazy trek around the M25! International buyers are going to have to do some convincing for me to put this baby in a shipping crate or the like.. and anything of the sort would need to be arranged totally at the buyers expense and insured up the yin yang! **Sorry but the images are in a mess, I can't figure out how to rearrange them using the editor

I´ve had this bass listed before but withdrawn it from sale, Here it is again as I really need to thin out my collection a bit. Modulus BassStar SP24 1989 For sale is my beautiful Modulus Bassstar with Koa body. These are pretty rare. The bass has been used a lot, which shows. The body has a lot of small damages and usermarks. The neck is in good condition. All hardware and electronics (vol, pickup select, bass/treble) work like they should. Playability is good. It’s quite a light instrument with its 3,8kg. Fixed low price €1700 I am located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I could ship anywhere at buyers risk and expense.

Up for sale I have my absolutely stunning Leduc Modern 4 bass guitar, built in 1994 by French master luthier Christophe Leduc. Picked this up from Will at Bassbros last year, previously belonged to our own @Gardenerben. Gorgeous design, the ash body under the red finish is really smart and the Padouk neck is one of the thinnest and fastest I’ve used. Bass arrived to me in standard tuning but also plays in B Standard wonderfully. Preamp is a clever little design; 2 band EQ, with the toggle switch on, the treble control also controls the mids. Boosting treble cuts mids and rolling back treble boost them. Dummy pickup coil hidden behind the control panel keeping things quiet. Specs e.t.c. Leduc M4 Model Name: MODERN (1994 to 97) Scale : 34" (24 Frets) Neck: Padouk Fingerboard: Padouk Body: French Ash Pickups: 2 x Leduc - Benedetti Single Coils with Dummy Coil Electronics: Leduc - EBS EL-5, 2 Band EQ with Treble Control Mid Switch Bridge: Leduc type "H" String Locks: Schaller Neck Depth 1st fret: 21 mm, 12th fret: 22.5 mm Nut Width: 38mm Spacing at nut: 9mm Spacing at bridge: 19mm Dimensions: 1060 x 320 x 60 mm Weight: 3.8kg List Price: €4,400 Playing Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cprRkNuqOw0 Originally built for French musician Sylvin Marc. The bass was the successor to the MNV and precursor to the Maurad. EL-5 Preamp The bass is in really good condition for its age, hard to believe it’s 30 years old! There are surface marks and swirls here and there as you'd expect, usual wear to hardware, couple of pots are a little scratchy but nothing to worry about.

Sadowsky MetroExpress (Gen 1) 5 String PJ Active Bass - Reduced to £325 For sale is my absolutely fantastic gen 1 Sadowsky MetroExpress 5 string bass with PJ pickup configuration. It is in excellent condition, it’s a used bass so there are a few marks and some minor bits of buckle rash but nothing really to speak of, generally the overall condition is still really good. Colour is black, but if you look closely it’s got a sparkle to it a bit like metallic paint, which is subtle but very nice and shows up really nicely on stage under the lights. Maple neck & Maple fingerboard with a Tort pickguard finishing it off giving it one of the classic Sadowsky looks. (See pics for paint) These basses are amazing value for money, this one has had all of the snags that people mention taken care of (fretwork has been done and has been setup really nicely). Very comfortable to play, you’re getting about 80% of the bass you get with a German Metroline, but for £375 (or you can pay another £2k on top for the extra 20% you get with the Metroline - these are hugely underrated basses) Comes with the 2 band Sadowsky preamp so it sounds huge live, there is no VTC (tone control) but it’s really not essential at all. Also has push/pull active bypass/passive mode, so if your battery fails mid gig you’re still ok to carry on, Bass & treble (boost only), volume & blend Probably the most versatile bass I have and the perfect gigging bass for a working bass player - it sounds fantastic in every situation I’ve used it in. Only selling as I have 2 of these PJ5’s - I bought a spare as I like them so much, but I’ve got my eye on something else (again!) so I’ve got to let something go I am also including a really high end, substantial Sadowsky ’Portabag’ gig bag which are still selling for £100+ online. It didn’t actually come with this bass, it came with my first MetroExpress PJ5 that I bought when they were still well over £500, but I dont use it as I have a Mono that I use Postage available if you want it at your cost (will be £25ish) I’ve got the Gigbag to post it in and I’ve still got the box from a bass I bought last month so I can package it all up nice and safely if required Trades? I would prefer the cash but I may be interested in a trade, and will put cash in for the right deal. Currently after a 4 string P Bass, possibly a Ray24/34 or possibly a USA SUB Stingray, I love a Jazz bass too (4 and 5) but just drop me an inbox if you have something to trade - if it’s not for me the worst I can say is no PRICE - Reduced to £350 (Plus postage if needed) DETAILS: - Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Fret Hybrid P/J Bass (5 String) - 34” Scale - Okume Body - Maple Neck & Fretboard - Bolt On Neck - 12” Fretboard Radius - Sadowsky “Just-A-Nut” III Nut - 47.5mm Nut Width - 21 nickel silver frets - Passive Sadowsky P pickup (neck) & J pickup (bridge) - 2 Band Boost only preamp (Bass @ 40hz & Treble @ 4khz) - Volume/Blend/Treble/Bass - Sadowsky Lite Tuners with open gears - Sadowsky Quick Release Bridge - Solid black high polish finish with Tort pickguard PICS 👇 EDIT: Also - if buyer prefers it I can put a white pickguard on it (I quite like the tort one on my sunburst anyway) it looks really good - especially if you’re gonna do the decal
