Yep - mine had the typical mod of an extra pickup - a P bass pickup. It is very versatile as a result but not really for the collector or purists.
-
Massive tone!

Mine is a ‘72, the humbucker adds around a kilogram in weight to it 🤭
-
Saw it and wondered that myself - the bridge isn’t original because it would’ve been a two saddle job. The Tele Bass was introduced in 1968 I believe.

Great to deal with Mart again, prompt payment and great communication throughout. Enjoy the bass!

A mock Mockingbird with a terrible sales pitch…. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316242166817?_skw=bass&itmmeta=01JKT7QKXBFVRJFQABEN3YYPC6&hash=item49a1808421%3Ag%3AqiYAAOSwSJBnqx2Q&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKk79oMwpVGNawpmUkIMQzA4l56fBtlXP3qqEfg5XJavhPK6k7EnP4DWnaP2AkWHmmVDm0VfP8Od392wMAgsOnR2MDhmrwLjwP%2F%2BNCi%2FUcocl9qwQLB8MihfdiFlpD8UIH2wQ9ijiylfLqVUBfz3sdPb3Rf3nsXxuPKM4kSKIz36dlQQ4T5fVHPtmesLkgfyzsdRVMnx0b0fWchq9r5zWtlvQHke0uxlFYsi2bHHcr%2BzDQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_S-3seeZQ&LH_ItemCondition=3000

Roland PK-6 Bass Pedals pending - *SOLD*

Roland PK-6 Foot Pedal Bass Pedal Unit This is a fun unit but something I don’t really need anymore now I’m playing a bit more bass again. The unit is in good condition and functions perfectly. There are a few cosmetic marks on the top but nothing serious. It works on batteries, PSU (not included but readily available), or with the included PK cable that can be hooked up to similarly equipped Roland keyboards. I’ve used it with batteries and they last well. It is intended as a controller only and does not generate sounds. It would be great with a Moog Minitaur or similar bass module for those Lee/Rutherford sub bass tones. I used it with a Novation synth and it worked well on the bottom octave as I played organ,etc. it can be used in many ways and you can access the manual online to see what it’s capable of. I only used it with a keyboard for simple bass pedal duties. It is well made and road worthy - steel frame and very robust. Weighing in at around 9kgs I’d prefer pickup but if you need postage the price will reflect this. UK only no trades. The pedals are made under the Roland name in Italy.

As it’s gone very quiet on the Rickenbacker sale here is another of my long scale basses for sale. This is a classic Aria Pro II SB700 made in Japan in around 1980. There is an original sales receipt dated December 1980 in the case. It’s an early one with the batwing headstock. It is in superb cosmetic and playing condition. All original electrics and great sounding pickup. This bass is passive but has a versatile range of sounds and can cut through the mix with a great midrange bite. Beautiful through neck construction and surprisingly light at around 4kgs. It comes with original case, tags, tools, receipt, lead (still in bag!) and the plastic overlay to explain the controls. The brass bridge is intact and the control plate bright and shiny and everything is in good order. I doubt this has ever been gigged. I bought it on a whim - I love these classic Arias and recognise what amazing instruments they were/are for the money. This one came up on Basschat and I couldn’t resist. Alas my hands are no longer equal to the task of playing this long scale bass so I’m putting it out there for what I paid. You won’t find a better example. It has one small ding on the body. Nothing else. No trades I’m afraid. These have recently been reissued as they have come back into favour again - I imagine that the MIJ models are very expensive as the craftsmanship of this one must be costly to replicate. UK only I can post at buyer’s cost but would prefer pickup if possible. Thanks for looking.

I’ve been trying different types of strings and gauges recently. I tried these but find them too dark sounding for my tastes. They have only been played for about 15 minutes on my short scale StingRay and the same on my Gibson so not even broken in. They are cut for a StingRay type bass or 2x2 headstock. Price includes UK postage.

This beautiful short scale StingRay is in near mint condition and comes with original case with keys, inspection tags and stickers. I haven’t gigged or rehearsed with it and have only played it occasionally since I bought it. I recently had an operation on the tendons of my fretting hand so playing short scale basses is my only option these days. Having owned and played several Sterling versions of the short scale Ray I had been looking for the EBMM model for some time and found this one. Then like buses another cropped up in sunburst and maple on Basschat so I bought that too. This starry night model has a lovely rosewood board with stainless steel frets however I prefer a maple board and owning two is a bit OTT for my needs. This run was produced in limited numbers and is pretty hard to find in the UK. The finish is stunning and no doubt looks wonderful under stage lights. The bass is very light at around 3.5kgs. It’s currently strung with 45-100 nickel D’addarios. Action is low and it sounds like a StingRay albeit with a passive pickup. It is well balanced and great for people with dodgy backs or shoulders. The scratchplate has some marks from previous pick playing but the body has no dings. There is also a spare aftermarket scratchplate. No issues with the truss rod, frets or electrics. There are some tiny marks at the back of the neck from it resting on a stand. Nothing else. The case has some scuffing presumably from being transported but no cracks or broken hinges. It is clean and like new inside, it comes from a smoke free home. I am the second owner. Last picture is with my other recently acquired short scale StingRay and my old Gibson EB0. No trades. I’d prefer pickup but could be persuaded to post in the UK only at buyer’s cost as I have a decent shipping box.
