Not good for the money just properly good. String with Ernie ball group 3 flats, nicely settled in and thumpy. I don't want to sell this because its incredible but you can see I have no space on the 10 rack... and she's actually getting annoyed with how many basses I have - so ill use the money to buy a pedal because I can hide that in a draw or something. Picked this up to practise Fret bevelling and levelling - turned out the frets were perfectly seated and level and didn't need it (which weirdly disappointed me because I was looking forward to doing that). I used a Chris Alsop Tools bevel file 45 degree angle - to make the edges ultra smooth. (which I did to all of my basses subsequently). it just means that the fret edges are nearly invisible feeling when navigating the neck. Same treatment as the 00's music man instruments and some vintage fenders. IYKYK!!! Specs are online. The neck feels like the 70s fat one... Ive added a bass wood full contact shim in the neck pocket - don't be afraid - that's just so you can slam the action if you like... the goth saddles are a bit larder than the usual fender size. I have the Gotoh tuner cap... ill pop it back on thanks! Rob collection in Edinburgh

DeArmond by Guild JetStar Bass - 1999 Model, made in Korea. I bought this stunner for a live project that I thought would ideally want something really different looking & eye catching (I love the colour!) - but, of course, that band dissolved before it got to the stage of playing gigs! 🙈 Redundancy means that...I must 'thin the herd' and much as I love it - this one needs to go! It has a mahogany body with a stunning Metallic Blue gloss finish with 2 single coil pickups and set neck, with very good build quality, lightweight and features the unique 1960's JetStar shape, bound neck and distinctive bird headstock inlay. It has 2 x vol and a single tone control. Knobs: the originals that were on it when I bought (featured in most of the photos) were a bit scruffy & I didn't think they were bling enough, so I replaced them with some gold Gibson style speed knobs (first two photos) - which I think look loads better. But I will, of course, include the original knobs too. The bass has light scuffs and marks in places (please see photos!) but is in generally very good condition for a 25 year old bass! It plays really nicely with a superb low action (42mm approx nut width). Collection & inspection is definitely OK (NN13). But I can ship if required - I don't have a case, but it will be well packaged and boxed for shipping.

Most of the punters are scared of it 😆

NOW SOLD! Thanks for looking 🙂 I recently acquired two Jazz basses in a trade and this one is going to be surplus to requirements. So here we have an early Fender Japan (CIJ) Aerodyne Jazz with the hottest output from the passive P&J pickups set I've ever heard! I've had a little work done to the bass, including a repair to the bone nut, new strap buttons and a resetting of the neck relief by my Tech. I've also replaced the foam under the J pickup, as it was previously completely missing. The instrument is currently set up with a low action on 40-95 Elixirs and comes with a soft genuine OEM Fender Gig Bag. This bass is around 23 years old and has obviously had a life. Under close scrutiny, there are some chips to the finish and scratch marks, so it could be considered as genuinely roadworn. Hopefully you can see these in the pictures, but they don't detract from the playability or the sound. This one packs quite a punch! Drop me a PM if interested. £800 or open to offers of interesting trades.

Moving on my limited edition (no longer in production), MXR CSP099 Phase 99, in funky orange Sparkle, Bi Phase goodness. Its two phase 90s in one enclosure. Separate rate controls for each circuit allow you to create intense complex phasing. They can be run series (running one into another) or parallel (strereo setup needed for parallel) It acts as a single phaser in parallel when one output is utilised, or two in series, they can be ran with different speeds, or a handy switch syncs the speeds up, sounds really thick and adds a small boost. It also has the "script" switch (as per the EVH model) which is labelled vintage on this pedal, which changes the amount of resonance in the circuit. It sounds wild in parallel with an OC2, but im only really using the single circuit in conjunction with other pedals. Its in fantastic condition, with velcro on the bottom, no box.

Very reluctant sale here of this lovely high end Ibanez GWB1005 Gary Willis Signature fretless bass. Now Withdrawn, but likely to appear soon at a Bass retailer near you! This is a brilliant instrument; ridiculously light for a 5 string (around 3.5kg), beautifully made, ergonomic, comfortable and effortless to play. I’m only selling because it's not getting played as often as it deserves (and I really need to raise some funds for a new car). As you probably know, this is a precision-crafted, high-performance fretless 5-string bass built to Gary Willis' exact specifications. Handmade by master luthiers at Sugi Guitars in Japan, only a limited number are produced each year. Each bass is personally hand-signed by Gary Willis on the electronics cover. There are some nice touches on this bass. I wasn’t sure I would get on with the finger ramp (which is detachable) but I really like what it did for my R hand technique. The tuners are another Gary Willis innovation, as was the bespoke Bartolini pickup which mimics the fingerboard radius. Lovely lined ebony fingerboard too. The action goes very low indeed. This is easily the nicest bass I’ve played / owned. However, I’m generally more of a P bass player, so this doesn’t come out of the case anywhere near as often as it should. The GWB1005 usually retails at between £3.5 – 4K, and there’s a waiting list. The bass is in excellent condition. Being picky, there are just a few very light string indentations to the neck, but nothing affecting playability or sound. She's currently wearing a set of TI flats, but I will include the set of rounds it came with (D'Addario EXL165-5), which deliver more MWAH. Comes with a generic Gator hard case. I’m only listing this for a couple of weeks on Basschat, at what I hope is a reasonable price for such a lovely bass. If it doesn’t sell, it will then be heading to the BG or BB. The bass is located in East Leicestershire. Potential buyers are welcome / encouraged to come over and try it out. I am not keen to post this bass, but if that is a deal breaker, I'm open to discussion. Also happy to consider a meet up. As noted above, I’m having a few transport issues at the moment, but could manage a 20 - 30 mile radius of Leicester. The pictures below were taken in a friend’s photography studio. I’ve included an additional photo I took today with my Basschat name and the date. No trades on this one I’m afraid and the price is more or less firm. (NOW PRICE DROPPED TO £2,100) More information on the GWB1005 The bass features a lightweight, two-piece swamp ash body with a natural finish, it has a 3-piece maple neck, with an ebony fretboard. A specially designed Bartolini bridge pickup, exclusive to this model, ensures a transparent and highly responsive sound. The NTBT active 2-band EQ allows precise tone shaping, with a push/pull volume knob for active/passive switching. Innovative Playability: A key feature is the Gary Willis-designed detachable finger ramp, providing enhanced right-hand control for consistent articulation and fluid playability. The low action and 16.5mm bridge string spacing contribute to its comfortable and ergonomic design. Exceptional Sound: The GWB1005 delivers a natural, "woody" tone with a deep and articulate low B string. Its tonal versatility makes it suitable for a range of genres, particularly jazz, fusion, and modern groove-oriented styles. Premium Hardware: Equipped with Gotoh tuners featuring custom Sure Grip buttons, the bass allows for precise tuning adjustments. The 34" scale length and 45mm nut width ensure balanced tension and comfortable fretting. Built to Gary Willis' exact specifications, the Ibanez GWB1005 is a refined instrument offering superior craftsmanship and attention to detail. With its handcrafted build, custom electronics, and ergonomic features, it is an excellent choice for professional bassists seeking a premium fretless experience. neck type GWB3pc Maple neck top/back/body Swamp Ash body fretboard Ebony fingerboard Off-set white dot inlay fret Fretless bridge Std. bridge string space 16.5mm bridge pickup Bartolini® GWB bridge pickupPassive equaliser Bartolini® NTBT 2-band EQ w/Eq bypass switch (push/pull) factory tuning 1G, 2D, 3A, 4E, 5B hardware color Black NECK DIMENSIONS Scale : 864mm/34" a : Width 45mm at NUT b : Width 67mm at 24F c : Thickness 19mm at 1F d : Thickness 21mm at 12F Radius : 305mmR See it on the Ibanez Web Site…. https://www.ibanez.com/na/products/detail/gwb1005_33_04.html

Fairly light with proper Baltic Birch and Ceramic drivers, its not a cab to be messed with! As you can see the cover has some marks but the cab itself is in great condition. The Berg fit and finish is so good, it was bought from a good home (@Etienne) and it's been looked after whilst it's been with me. Im travelling a lot atm so Happy to arrange meet ups if its convenient, otherwise collection from Liverpool. More than happy for people to come to the studio and give it a test drive.

Ahh, this is an iconic pedal, Si! It's what convinced me to order my "The Punisher" custom Knightfall from Tom with the same spec, and I think mine might've been the next one after yours... Absolutely incredible and invaluable pedal and has been my always on secret sauce ever since! Simply the best OCD/Voodoo Labs Overdrive-based pedal available. So versatile, and well worth the price. GLWTS!

Reluctant sale but due to an emergency, we are moving house so looking for a quick sale on this beautiful American Vintage II Precision Bass. Fitted with LaBella 760FS. Great action and setup by the folks in the Gallery. Changed pickup covers to cream white, still using the same Pure vintage pickups. Installed Dunlop Straplok. I’ll throw in a levys leather strap with the mount attached. Also installed the ashtray bridge cover and drilled holes for the neck pickup cover. Neck pickup covers, original black pickup covers and thumb rest will be included. Weight is 3.9kg with the ashtray cover. Pics here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-5MxIxZi1cj0uVv32OJ0iTrgmAog_ZFj Bought brand new from the Gallery for £1899 Only thing I don’t have is the hard case as I sold it to a fellow basschatter here thinking I’d never part with this. But needs must so I have to let go of most my bass gear. I can get one again when all is sorted. For pickup only at SW19 area. Open to sensible cash offers just to move this on. Any questions, feel free to message me.
