  1. Just had a Yamaha BB2005 off Dan. He’s a superb guy to deal with, great communication. Item was really well packed and arrived safe and well.
  2. It would make a perfect Christmas present, even if it was for yourself 🤣
  3. Musicman Stingray 1989 I’ve had this for about 10 years of it’s near 35 year life, this bass has seen a lot of action and plays beautifully. (S/N 27254 9th Jan 1989). It has wear and tear but that’s because it’s been gigged a lot not because someone has taken a sander and a blowtorch to it, unlike the relic’d basses you see these days. The maple neck is lovely and the photos really don’t do it justice, lovely low action. The black paint isn’t glossy anymore, the hardware isn’t mirror shiny, but then again it has aged better than I have. Recently set up and serviced by Mor Music in York. Currently strung with Ernie Ball Cobalt Flatwounds. The only thing I have replaced is the string mutes as they were worn out when I got the bass, the replacements are from Musicman. I’m not sure what the bare patch is all about on the back, I don’t know whether someone in the past has had something stuck on to make it sit a certain way if wearing it high up. Comes with a non Musicman hard case. I can ship if necessary. Only selling to get another 5 string and possibly an acoustic. Weight 4.3kg / 9.5lb Based in North Yorkshire.
  4. When did NEED ever get in the way when it comes to basses? Realistically none of us need more than 2 or 3 basses if we really admit it, but that doesn’t stop us from wanting 10, 20 or however many!
  5. @Al Krow I still have a BB1500A, I got it as a backup for my TRB4 Mk1 as it was the closest thing I could find to it, saying that they are very different, I put some TI flats on it and it sounds awesome. I did a swap for it with my BB2004, in hindsight I’d get another BB2004 or BB2005, I don’t think I appreciated how good they were at the time. My Yamaha’s have seen off far more fashionable and desirable basses, but I guess I just like the way they sound and feel.
  6. Pretty much brand new Fender American Performer Jazz bass, bought over the summer but a flooded dining room and a ridiculous excess on my insurance forces sale. Plays like a dream, I treated myself to two new basses over the summer and this loses out to a new Spector. I’m not desperate, just would rather not put the work on my credit card unless I have to. It has only left the house twice thanks to lockdown and is in perfect condition, as new. I have fitted Schaller strap pins and replaced the pick guard, original included. Can ship, sensible offers considered.
  7. I need to shift this, not desperate for the money but do need the space as the wife is getting the right hump as there's a new bass on order. Serious offers considered, could ship but would cost a bit.
  8. Open to sensible offers as I need to make room for a new arrival - 😁
  9. Just bought a compressor pedal from Matthew, top bloke to deal with, posted the same day and very well packed. Deal with confidence 👍
  10. Price reduced to £1200 as I've seen something that I would like 😀
  11. Price dropped, Mrs F insists that I operate a one in one out policy and I’ve gone over my quota of wall hangers 😂
  12. I think a jazz player could show up with anything 😁
  13. I know, where’s that time gone? Yes I still have the BB1500A, absolutely love it, got some TI flats on it and it sounds awesome. If I could shift my Flying V I’d have this back off you in a flash.
  14. Good luck with the sale, one of the few basses I regret letting go of, it is awesome.
