I’ve had a lot of interest but mainly trades which I’m not looking for and very low ball offers. It’s a fantastic instrument as good as any US Sterling I’ve played but at half the price. The new Sterling SB14 passive is nearly twice as expensive as this one! I was thinking of selling it for parts but it’s just too good a bass as is. So if no one goes for the price it’s advertised for now £580 I’ll withdraw it.

A recent purchase but alas the old fretting hand issues mean that I have become very finicky about necks with my limited span. This ticks all the boxes in terms of weight (around 3.6kgs), looks and sounds. It’s a fantastic bass and in near mint condition. Short scale but string through body so it takes medium scale strings or cut down long scales if you aren’t fussy. Comes with gig bag and all the usual paperwork and certificate. It was made in 2022 and hasn’t been gigged since purchased. No trades, pickup preferred. I can post for £25. No offers it’s very cheap for an American Fender. Advertised elsewhere. Thanks for looking!

Fantastic sounding and looking bass from a great player - heard this on Saturday unfortunately long scales and five strings are no longer feasible for me. Great price too GLWTS

You are absolutely right I was mixing up my Silver series with my SQ series! That will teach me to not to comment too hastily at the thrill of a MIJ Squier 🤭. Still a fabulous instrument mind you.

Definitely equal to the JV series - made at the same time but were marketed as a more ‘contemporary’ design - as good as many a US bass of the era too. Fantastic value.

Yamaha DXR10 Mk 1 Full-range Active 10" Speaker The speaker is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition and comes with Yamaha cover. Please see pictures for cosmetic condition. It has been used as a keyboard monitor and also as a vocal monitor. Can be used for FOH and even bass with a suitable preamp/pedal. It’s a compact speaker but quite chunky for its size hence postage cost of £25. Pickup preferred. Note this is the Mk1 version.

1978 Fender Musicmaster in the original wine red finish. It’s a lovely finish and you can see the grain through it. The bass is in excellent condition for the year and weighs in at around 3.6kgs - nice and easy on the shoulders. It’s a shortscale bass and has 19 frets which are in good shape. Neck is very good with a few dings but none that bother the playability. A few dings to the body and marks (see pics) and some nice finish checking. Bass comes with CTS pots and custom made pickup. This sounds really punchy compared to the original (strat type guitar pickup) single coil pickup that the last owner had replaced. To my ears it has more of a P bass tone. I do have the original pots (although the shafts have been damaged) and the original capacitor is in situ. The other hardware; tuners, string tree, strap buttons, bridge, neck plate and knobs are original. When I bought it the wrong era replacement scratchplate had been installed so I bought the correct version from WD Music. There are some extra screw holes hidden under the plate as a result. The bass is a great later example of the small but perfectly formed and punchy Musicmaster now becoming sought after in their own right as a very playable alternative to the Mustang bass. I have two others both rather beaten up and they are my preferred bass these days but work on the house means something has to go….. UK sale only, sorry no trades. Pickup preferred but I can post at buyer’s cost. Thanks.

Yes the neck was expensive and also the Hipshot hardware I fitted. I got the neck originally to swap for a rosewood board on another Sterling but then having bought an SB14 I tried it on that and it became my main gigging bass for 18 months. Unfortunately fretting hand issues mean I’m only able to play short scale basses for the time being.

Sorry no trades on this now. It’s a lovely bass with a fantastic USA EBMM Sterling neck. Still for sale.

I’ve reduced the price on this, thanks for all the positive comments. It’s a fantastic bass and the scale length is a good compromise if you are struggling with a full scale but don’t like the feel of short scale basses.

I measured the width at the nut and it’s just about 40mm.

It’s a Jazz bass width - not home at the moment but can measure

It’s a pickup selector switch Paul

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.
