Shylock

I am the original owner of this bass guitar and I bought it new in April 2023. It is in a gorgeous Candy Apple Red which I believe was introduced in late 2022. Since my purchase I shortly developed some issues with my hands, due to age, and I have moved to a short scale Gibson SG Bass guitar which is more comfortable for me to play. This means it really is in a new and unmarked condition and comes in the original cardboard box as no gig bag is supplied with this series. I bought the bass because I wanted a P Bass sound, with the option of a jazz bridge pickup and a slimmer jazz bass neck. It certainly delivers the P Bass sound with a jazz rasp if you need it. The neck is one of the fastest I have played with a very smooth back. It has never left my home and is rarely played. The serial number is MX22282003 should you wish to check the full specification. The only bass I have bought new, as I thought it would be a keeper, and cost me £799 and so looking to sell for £550 as really is in an unworn condition. Trade wise I may be interested in a heritage cherry Gibson SG Bass (I already have Ebony), Gibson Les Paul Junior DC Bass or similar short scale basses with negotiable cash either way. Collection only I am afraid but I live near Loughborough and about 15 mins from Junction 23 of M1. For a trade I may be willing to travel a little way.

Sought after bass as firstly it is an Indonesian Standard Squier, which I understand is considered better quality than the later and current Affinity models, and secondly it is versatile P/J bass with a lovely fast jazz neck, thinner than the normal P Bass neck. Sounds great with a P Bass thump or a Jazz Bass honk or a blend of the two. Finished in Antique Burst with a Tortoise Shell pick guard there is little wear on the frets and I cannot find any body or neck damage. Serial number is IC050155041 and I understand from Squier databases that the I stands for Indonesia, the C for the Cort factory and the 05 for the year i.e.2005. The previous owner replaced the electrics with full size pots and also added ashtrays and a thumb rest which I have removed as I find they get in the way. However they are included in the sale. I would keep this but I with ageing hands and fingers now I do find short scale basses easier to play. Happy to discuss trades but really only interested in short scale passive basses with cash either way. Collect or meet up within a reasonable distance and could meet up at Junction 21 Foss Park or 23a Donington Services of M1 if helps. Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.

So I bought this mat 7/8 years ago when I had two Trace Elliot cabs and I found this worked in isolating particularly the 15”cab from a wooden floor and removed some of the boom in the room. I then moved onto TC Electronic RS cabs which for some reason have no feet and this was great to stand them not only improving the sound but also protecting the cabinet covering. I have no gone lighter in my old age and with an Orange 12” use a small angled amp/cab stand if I need to and so this mat is now surplus to requirements. This the larger mat and can be use either landscape or portrait depending on cab and measures 30” x 19” x 2.75”. I have strengthened the handle with two nuts and bolts as originally it was just small self tapping screws which fell out after little use. I think they cost around £100 now and looking for £25. Collect only due to size although I could meet up an Junction 21 Foss Park or 23a Donington Services of M1 if it helps.

Sorry no. I realise that I am restricting potential sales but I don’t want to risk it for a number of the usual reasons.

Great sounding Precision Bass with a good fat tone. Google it for the positive reviews. Love the Candy Apple Red colour and some of the more obvious road worn chips have been touched up with, I understand, matching nail varnish. Made in Mexico 2016. Based on a 1970’s P bass with an ash body, a nitro cellulose finish, Fender HiMass Bridge, Rosewood finger board, Seymour Duncan® Basslines SPB-3 Quarter Pound Split Single-Coil Precision Bass, Slim C neck shape with a Nut Width of 1.615" (41.02 mm) which is slightly narrower than the usual P bass neck Second Owner and comes with original gig bag and case candy as shown including Foo Fighters optional neck plate. Looking to sell as I prefer my 1996 P Bass and jazz basses. Retail at circa £1,350 on some retail websites. Not really interested in trades at the moment as trying to reduce herd. I am unable to post and live near Loughborough so could meet up a M1 local junction although you may prefer to try before you buy. Looking for £750. Now reduced to £700.

REDUCED TO £600 please ignore £420 and I cannot delete TC Electronic RH750 amp with TCE bag – Great and loud amp with many features including very useful built in tuner.

Google for reviews. May split but need to sell speakers first. Any questions just ask UK sale only no postage due weight and collection only from near Loughborough. May part trade for Orange Crush bass 50/ Boss Katana 210B or interesting passive PJ bass guitar with jazz width neck.
