This is a lovely bass with a slim jazz style neck and a glossy black finish throughout. Pickups are at a slant - I suppose this is to accommodate full size pickups on a slightly downscaled body. They sound really punchy with a nice zing to the Jazz. All hardware is original - I did replace several grub screws on the bridge as they were very tall and were uncomfortable when palm muting (I have the originals and will include them). The E tuner has at some point been bent then straightened but functions okay. The bass has a 32” scale and is around 3.7kgs - very comfy for long gigs. It comes with a contemporary leatherette gigbag - possibly original to the bass. There are some minor marks and repaired damage at the bottom of the bass around the strap button. Finish damage that has been filled and touched up. It’s a bit rough but fortunately is in a place that’s not easily visible. Miraculously all the original knobs have retained their caps. I bought it to try a medium scale and although I love the look and sound of it I find short scale basses comfier to play. Possible trades against a Sterling shortscale Stingray (and cash my way) or American Mustang (plus cash your way). It has been set up with new Picatos 40-95 and plays really well. A rare Japanese vintage Fender. Final pictures show the difference in size to my old JV Squier Precision and the stacked TBX tone pot. Personal pickup preferred however I can post in the UK only for £25. Price dropped to £575.

Hi everybody. GO ON THEN - Yours for ** £370 ** or £350 without the new Tourtech gig bag or £340 without both gig bag and D Tuner. Last few days of October to snap up this beauty before I move it on to a shop. UK mainland delivery included. New Tourtech padded gigbag and D Tuner. Frets polished and fretboard cleaned this week, not that it really needed it. I bought this 2002 (ESP) LTD DLX J-1004 in June 2020 from Basschatter “Bass Wielder “. He had upgrading modifications done professionally about 5 years ago and it gives a superb variety of tones. It’s exactly 5kg , 11lbs using my accurate scales but is very well balanced and is therefore fine with a wide grippy shoulder strap and when you’re seated it’s reassuringly plonked and stable on your thigh compared to some light weights. A recommendation here by Basschatter Harlequin74 ( July 15 ) who played the bass at The Gallery. ” Just a quick recommend for this bass. Tested it at Bass Gallery when there to pick up another bass. Lovely bass, with fantastic build quality and amazing tonal variation with John East preamp. Looks lovely too. “ Upgraded with 2 pairs of switchable Hot-Rod coils and a John East Uni-Pre. It has a lovely dark rosewood neck with abalone markers and side dots. Ash body with golden Quilted maple top and gorgeous binding containing abalone shards ( looks like that). So a hell of a lot of bass features and top electronics on offer here. Notice the great top edge contouring (photo) with rear scoop and front curve for arm rest comfort. The photos capturing the more golden shades of the body are the nearest to it’s actual shade. See further below for the Eternal Guitars and Hot-Rods detail on the windings and 3 way switches for each pair of coils. Centre position for both coils in series, then left or right for each single coil. Notes by maker Dave Walsh a few paragraphs below. The Modifications. *East UK Uni pre - Active /Passive bass pre-amp that simply is world class. *East UK BLI - battery low indicator tells you when 9v is almost out of power. Easiest to look at the Uni Pre using the John East link below. See 5 knob version. No noticeable change in Vol when pulling / push Passive tone knob ( sits above the line of 4 knobs on my bass). Line of 4 goes Vol Blend Mids/sweep Treb/Bass with pull for extra sizzle. The Treb knob is slightly scratchy when turning it but fine once in position. The passive tone works in active mode too but for me best turned full on for best clarity from the active EQ. *Hot-Rods custom made pickups - Specially made for this bass. It is like having four Jazz style pickups in a two shell package (3 way switchable between each pair of coils). The combination of this and the East UK has turned this instrument into a very versatile beast. From Marcus Miller slap to Jaco jazz to Pino P-bass if you have the skills ! 22 year old bass but only has a few small marks on the thick gloss coated body so they look no worse than a bit of dust on the bass. See arrows on photos. 1/2 inch crack in the gloss only, under the neck pocket, see photo looking under the neck joint. It’s stable so is not an issue. Some pick playing lines on body under strings at playing area. It’s quite a vintage golden colour on the body top. One or two minor scratch marks if you peer very closely and an edge gloss chip on the headstock (tuner-side ) so minor cosmetics only considering the age. Frets look like they’ve had a proper levelling because it plays superbly, no buzz and actually sings when not plugged in. Minimal neck relief, I tightened the truss rod slightly recently and the strings run from 2.0mm to 1.8mm E to G at 12th when fretted at 1st. Room for the saddles to go lower. The saddles are adjustable laterally for string spacing adjustment. Selling to fund other basses purchased. I’ve had my fun with this (ESP)LTD J1004 experimenting for hours with the brilliant John East Uni-Pre, Two 3 way switches and some blending of the pups. It’s endless what you can create. I need to start replacing some basses if I’m to experiment further. A Note copied below on the bass’s modifications , from Dave at Eternal Guitars and (Hot Rod) Pickups. UK to Bass Wielder ( Hope that’s ok BW. All technical ) Unit 8A Littlemead Business Centre, Tangmere Rd, Chichester PO20 2EU, United Kingdom "Hi. Glad that you like the pickups so far! Okay, wiring: they are wound and wired in a similar fashion to a normal humbucking pickup but of course with the exception that each coil is a true Jazz bass pickup. To wire them in series you will need to join the red and green wires together and cover the join with tape or shrink tubing. If you plan to coil split, then the joined red/green will go to your switch. White is live and black is earth. Some details on the pickups: the neck pickup is two Jazz bass pickups wound to vintage specs and placed side by side - both pickups use forbon flatwork and eight magnetised poles. Either could be used individually if desired for a 'true' singlecoil sound or in series (as supplied). The bridge pickup is slightly different - it uses a vintage spec wound Jazz bass pickup nearest to the neck but the coil nearest to the bridge uses identical flatwork and magnets but with a 'hotter' coil wind. When selected on its own this coil will have a thicker and warmer single coil tone than a traditional Jazz bass. I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any help wiring them up... : ) Cheers for now, Dave Walsh Eternal Guitars & Pickups . Chichester.

I'm not too sure about this and may live to regret it. I'm currently playing pubs and this Gem of a compressor is wasted, and as I need other stuff it's time to move it on. This is a high end legendary compressor, made with the finest audiophile materials, and fully featured, incl a footswitchable sidechain with a 3 band EQ, this enables you to tailor the comps threshold at certain frequencies. It's an optical comp so has a lovely warm clear tone, which can be adjusted via internal trimpots to go from clear to two levels of extra warmth/thickness, and a complete 12k rolloff for a very vintage sound (cali76 to Diamond at the push of a switch. The pedal maker retired and his son is currently fulfilling orders on a very long waiting list, with their existing materials, when completed I believe this is to be discontinued. It's in good condition, however the knobs are quite stiff, but at least you know they won't move when set. It's an older model in the grey/burgundy colour (newer ones are gold, the latest is pure black) It has high quality velcro on the back. Link to ovnilab review https://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/optifet.shtml Looking for £260 and I'll include UK only special delivery I'll only consider trades for a Cali76CB (older version) or a blue label EBS multicomp, plus cash.

I bought this lovely looking bass earlier this year, but I cant get on with it. I have tried to love it but I just cant bond with it. I have never gigged it or used it for more than a few hours. Comes with with original GG case and accessories. It has been set up this morning with Ernie Ball super slinkies and plays fantastic. I hope someone from here can give the love and attention it deserves. One Piece maple neck, old school 2 saddles and ash body. £1500 posted including case. Not interested in trades, sale only.

For sale only (I'm not interested in trades, sorry). A Lakland USA Series 44/64 'Bob Glaub' Signature P/J bass in Olympic White. Purchased from @three of this parish about 4 years ago, this is a beautiful example of a discontinued signature edition from Lakland. It's in great condition with a couple of few small marks here and there which were present when I bought it. I've highlighted the most significant one in the photos. Other marks are very difficult to photograph and so minor as to be insignificant. To my mind, they are just as a result of it being played, swirling of the pick guard etc. It's wearing flats at the moment, which I have to say, suit it very well indeed. It weighs in at 8.9lbs on my luggage scales and has a jazz type neck with a nut width a shade under 38mm. The neck is extremely comfortable and the action is medium low, being my preference. I seem to remember it was a lot lower when I received it. It comes with a Lakland tweed hard case. I'd rather not ship it, but I'm happy to have a conversation about it if you're interested in the bass. Any questions just ask away.

I am selling my Fender Custom Shop Bass. It is NOS on the COA so looks as a new guitar. Fiesta Red Matching headstock tort pick guard. Comes with all the case candy, trem arm bridge cover etc. This has never been used outside of my house. Collect only.

haha,,, that's just the bass tuner, wait till you see my amp 🙂

WITHDRAWN Bought new from Andertons a few years ago. These are fantastic basses - a solid, well put-together instrument which weighs approx. 8.1lbs/3.65kg; well balanced and feels good to play. Great sounding pickups, excellent fit and finish, and lots of tonal options with the blend knob. In my opinion this is one of the best colours Reverend ever did but it has since been discontinued, so this is a rare opportunity to pick up a very cool looking bass. Roasted maple neck with some nice flaming. Please note this sale is for the bass only - no case or gig bag is included. I have gigged this bass extensively and is In very good condition with a few little marks, the usual swirling on the scratchplate and some genuine buckle rash for that extra mojo! Selling to fund a new purchase and it's strictly one in, one out. Not interested in any trades, thanks. Option to collect in person (about 20 miles from Belfast) or happy to post to any UK address, with buyer arranging their own courier. Will be posted in its original box with all the case candy.

A wonderful bass and indeed, the neck is sublime - US Lakland necks are for me the finest of all to be found on super Js/Ps. As suggested above, this bass will take an incredibly low action. I doubt anybody could be disappointed and this bass was only sold as I'd moved to short-scale almost exclusively
