Hi all Reluctant sale of this beautiful bass as it deserves to be played much more than it is by me. It sounds absolutely stunning, all pots and pickups work great. Loads of zing and top end but also lots of vintage grunt and growl. I bought this from the bass gallery in 2019. The bass was refinished before I owned it and has aged beautifully, whether it was reliced or gigged hard I’m not sure, probably the former. There’s also a slight enlargement of the cavity where it may once have had a preamp, that’s fully covered by the control plate anyway. One pickguard screw hole has been slightly enlarged. This is covered by a metal washer so isn’t noticeable. There is general wear and marks pictured and you’re welcome to view the bass in person in Chessington, Surrey. The neck plate dates the body to 1970 (or late 1969 according to some serial number lookups). I believe the pickups and pick guard are original. Thumb rest is most likely non original and the pots were replaced early on - they date to 1974. The pickups are 60s spacing which is consistent with the earlier date. Fender switched to the 70s spacing during 1970. The neck stamp is no longer legible but you can see on the rear the stamp of 'H Torres' who's necks of this era are well respected.It currently has a Hipshot D Tuner fitted but this will be returned to the original Fender stamped tuner for the sale. The neck is solid maple with a walnut insert and walnut headstock plug which fits the date, as Fender moved to the bullet truss rod in 1974. The neck has black blocks and binding only offered from 1970-73. Any questions, let me know and I will do my best to answer them. I am in no rush to sell and will happily keep it if the right buyer doesn't come along. Pickup or meet up available in and around Surrey. I can also meet a buyer in central London. I would rather not post, given the value of this but please get in touch if you’re interested and we can discuss options. Many thanks Dan

Moving on this brilliant Pedalboard due to a big January clear out! it has inputs for two jacks in the right, as well as a 9v out, master power switch, XLR out and USB through for charging or plugging in digital pedals. The tray flips up to access underneath and the lid is super solid to protect everything. It has a suitcase style handle attached so you can wheel it too. Also, it looks awesome! It’s slightly larger than a Pedaltrain Classic Junior I believe.

NOW £650! Really not sure how to price this as I’ve seen crazy prices online but the last one on Basschat was back in 2021. The cheapest I can find elsewhere is £799 so thought I’d go a bit under that, if you feel it’s wildly over (or under!) priced please message me to let me know! It has Velcro on the bottom and a few knocks but fully working. There’s also one screw missing from the bottom, which I didn’t realise until taking the photos! would rather meet up in Surrey/London but could also ship.

Pretty much the best pedalboard power supplies you can buy. Comes with everything pictured.

Pretty much the best pedalboard power supplies you can buy. Comes with the current doubler so you can sum outputs too. Come with EU and UK IEC Cables, box and lots of power cables.

Great pedal, just having a big clear out. Price includes UK Shipping.

Hi Jay just weighed it a few times on my luggage scales and it’s coming in at either 4.5kg or 4.6kg each time, so not bad for a Fender 5! Off the top of my head it was made in 2005 but I will confirm when I did out the certificate. Hope that helps. Thanks Dan

These are difficult to find but managed to order some from China - they fit a Fender Jazz 5 or anything with the same size pickups - unfortunately had to get 20 of each so thought I’d see if there’s any interest on here! £5 plus £4 P+P for your first then just add £2 per cover if you’d like extras! Neck pickup measures 100.5mm long and the Bridge is 104mm. Any questions, let me know thanks
