Sold.

Back to the top for July. Always happy to listen to offers.

https://soundcloud.com/velvetkevorkian/dissertation-hand-in-groove Bump complete with a soundclip of this guitar in drop A from last year

Last bump for a while, not desperate to sell but feel free to make me an offer.

Both now sold.

PX for an EUB or 5+ string fretless bass guitar? This is now taking up space that an imminently incoming velvetkevorkian jr is likely to require.

Bump for a bargain metal axe.

Bump.

7 string guitar, set up in standard tuning with a low B. This was a Cash Converters find a couple of years ago. As you can see it's taken a few knocks before it arrived with me, notably on the tip of the headstock and one chip in the finish on the top edge. Some buckle rash but nothing visible on the front of the body, with its lovely red quilted top. Neck is totally fine, truss rod works, nice low action. Slightly extended scale, I think 26 or 26.5 inches, all the better to downtune with. Only selling because I picked up an RG8 recently which I prefer. Asking £150, collect from Glasgow G51 area near the south side of the Clyde tunnel or I can post for about £25 in the UK. If you need a case I think I have a generic gigbag I can add for an extra tenner. Not really looking for trades, although feel free to try me. (I've tried to show the damaged parts in the pictures -- you should be able to click through to a full size version on Flickr, let me know if there's anything you'd like a closer shot of).

Bump!

Fretless is packed up and ready to wing its way to a new home at the far end of these isles. Fretted still available. Feel free to try me with offers.

Bump. Feel free to hit me with offers, the worst I can say is no. Well, that's not the worst I *can* say but it's the worst I will say. I'm nice like that.

Bump -- still here. Open to offers for one or both basses.

Jazz body and Precision neck of unknown provenance (pretty sure not Fender, despite the headstock decal) -- described to me as 'Japanese' by the BCer who I got it from (who I believe did the assembly). Tuners and a 5 string conversion hardware are Wilkinson -- for those who haven't come across this before, the D string is anchored in the string retainer and you get an extra headless-style tuner at the bridge. It's a bit of a PITA to string but keeps tuning really well. Pickups are EMG -- you can just about see the logo where it's not been worn away, but not sure what model as there's no labels I can see. I think there's a 9V battery in there but I've not been into the cavity to check. The neck pickup needs some more material underneath it to bring it closer to the low strings -- I added some already but not enough, apparently. When I got it there was a lot of relief in the neck, which meant it played nicely at the nut end but the action quickly got very high. I've shimmed the neck, adjusted the truss rod and fitted a set of light Elixirs and it plays much better. I think it could really use a fret dress though, there's one low spot around the 14th fret that doesn't sound properly. String spacing is tight but not unreasonable, it's pretty similar to my 7 string bass. The body has it's fair share of knocks and dings, which I've documented in the photos. The pickguard has some extra holes, and the pickups show plenty of playing wear. Controls are standard VVT but the pots seem to have different length shafts. You can see the holes where a different bridge was previously mounted. The headstock face seems to have a different, lighter lacquer(?), maybe from the the decal was done? I took this intriguing piece in trade recently as a potential project, but at the moment I don't really have the time or energy to do anything with it, and the Precision profile neck doesn't really do it for me. If it doesn't sell I'll save my pennies for a fret dress, or a Status neck. Collect from Glagow G51 (near the south end of the Clyde Tunnel) or courier in the UK should be about £25. You're welcome to come inspect and try it, I make a pretty good coffee. £250 ono. Not really looking for trades although you're welcome to try me, especially if you have a 5+ string fretless.

No-show from the prospective buyer of the fretless so both basses are still available. Cash sale preferred unless you have a 6 string fretless

Roughly 4kg/just under 9lbs according to our scales. String spacing looks like 17mm centre to centre.

Fretless on hold pending collection and payment.
