Sorry guys. Not really after trades as I've already got my eye on a bass. @jassbass. I'm not sure if they do. The bridge pickup was already dead when the bass arrived in my hands so these pickups are the only sound I've heard from it. Sounds spot on though. Literally what you imagine a jazz to sound like.

For sale £550 You want a bass amp? Go elsewhere. You want a thunder power super bassonic electrical amplification device? Then step right in. Here we have the literal master of the amplifier throwing down a wonder amp, literally called SUPERBASS, for the likes of the low end monsters that we are. You dont often see these for sale, or even used with basses. Do you know why? GUITARISTS ARE HOGGING THEM. This phenomenon is due to 2 things: 1 - They know how amazing these things are and dont want anyone else to have one, so they buy them all and destroy them through sheer brute force with hammers and tone and tacos i think. 2 - Theyre jealous of how amazing you'll sound playing through this demon. It volumes so much and basses so much that they want it all for themselves and dont want the bass to be heard, so they use them to make the bass themselves. DONT LET THEM! This one is even more special than you can imagine too. Want to know why? I WONT TELL YOU! Okay, here it is. This model is special because posh people know it as a "transitional" model. As they were changing models or something, they needed to make one more amp with the balls this has, so they searched high and low for all the best parts in the factory and asked the etheral spirits to form it into this amp. Therefore, when they tried to brand it, the spirits would not let them. This is why you wont see any markings touting JCM800, or SUPERBASS on it. The amp wont let them. Only you and i know. As for the 4 hearts inside? Theyre new. It pumps so much ph/fat out of it, they were near death when this fell into my arms, so i had brand new ones surgically implanted into it to restore life into it. Now, it sings and sounds sexy. Of course, being from 1981, its got battle scars, and the switch that tells the unworthy that its heart is beating (read power switch light) no longer functions on this plane of existence. You will just know its on from the sound it produces when it plays. Anyhoo, if you wish to gaze upon it, look below and you shall receive. If you wish to gaze upon it in person, i am located on a small penninsula in the west britain labelled simply "wirral". TL:DR? 1981 Marshall SuperBass 100w mk2 all valve amp for sale @ £550.

For sale £675 Here is your classic long running Fender American Standard Jazz bass, in 3 tone sunburst of course. The 2011 model comes with everything you expect, including its current owner upgrading the pickups to handwound formvar pickups, made by a small custom pickup house, wound to original specs. So, safe to say, if you want a jazz bass sound, youve got it. BUT, if you dont want a jazz bass sound, simply roll off the bridge pickup, and it sounds like a precision. Notice how i stated LIKE, not IS. Thats because i wrote that word there. Sounds very precision-y when played. You want to play with a pick? GO AHEAD, its sound badass! Want to use your fingers? THROW THEM AT IT! It'll take it like a champ, and sound smooth or as funky as you like. Want to try a bit of slap and pop? DO IT! This machine was the original for it. Itll love you for it and kiss you if you dont. Want to Djent? GO AWAY, this isnt some 11 string guitar made for play Djent. This is a bass. What it has got too, is the stock bridge, which i think, in my brain, is awesome. Taken from years of experience, or the will of a design guy, to combine 3 types of jazz bass bridges. The Classic threaded saddle from the originals, allowing for alternate string placement should your soul so desire it; The normal round ends of the saddles taken from the old style fender bridge, for maximum tone-age; and of course a larger tail end of the bridge, not a piece of ben sardine tin you found in the bin after your dog went through it that one time. So yeah, the bridge is a sexy piece of engineering. But guess what ITS ALSO STRING THROUGH. This allows for absolute NASA spec sustain throughout the entire body of the bass, as well as the body of the basser who is in connection with it, which includes the very floor/garden/precariously balanced chair you stand your leg trunks on. And, as im such an amazing person, you'll even recieve the FACTORY FORM FITTED BLACK AND FURRY SUPER DUPER SKB HARD CASE WITH KEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In essence, if youre after a jazz bass that sounds like a jazz bass because youve always wanted a jazz bass because of that one time your favourite bass player/singer/deck chair/dads buddy/walrus had one, then thats what you'll get here. In case youre one of those chaps or chapettes who needs more than words to buy something, well, allow me to shower you with exactly what you desire. Pictures. They are, if you scroll down, below. You best be ready....... This bass is currently housed in a house based in a secure location on the wirral peninsula. For a more specific location/gps coordinates/pigeon to gaze upon its glory, PM the hell out of me. TL:DR? 2011 Fender jazz bass + custom pickups with hardcase. Pics:

Marshall MB4410 410 bass combo £120

For sale £150 The man behind the chowny semi hollow basses had this made up as a prototype in china, being a mix between a stingray (body shape) and a rick (the rest of it). Sounds pretty decent, not exactly like a rick, but something close. The neck pickup has the deep you'd imagine, while the bridge pickup doesnt have too much thin. And together just sounds lovely. Its a tad dusty, could do with some new strings, but besides that, it is a sweet bass. Quite comfortable. Pickguard is a little rough, but works. Even has a nice bit of flame maple on the top if you're into that sort of thing. Based in wallasey. Swing by for a try if you wish. Id prefer not to post, and can meet up halfway somewhere. Pics below.

I freaking love doublenecks. Been after making one for years but i never find the time. Heres a collection of pictures of doublenecks ive put together over the years. Might give you some ideas. [url="http://trichards.co.uk/gallery.php?load=images/gallery/Doublenecks/"]http://trichards.co....ry/Doublenecks/[/url] I always thought this design was cool, smallish body. -

Stingray Prototype ? (in the US)
tommorichards replied to Gray's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Looks like someone may have altered it and gave it a refin to allow better access? -
I think theyre getting on to people wanting as close to an exact replica of the lemmy bass, so a lot of them have started doing through necks.

I agree with you twit, for basses like precisions and jazzes out there, theres many a decent budget line that definitely work. However, for more unusual basses, customisation etc, chibsons can be the way to go. A lot of the time its easier to talk via pictures of what you want, as i sent a guy a picture of the colour that i wanted the bass to be. But as there are different sellers, who use different factories, quality can vary. But id say they probably are along the line of harley benton.

I ordered a bass from there. This one to be specific. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-quality-Orange-Transparent-body-Acrylic-4-strings-electric-Bass-guitar-China-Glass-Guitar-Free-Shipping/32346816124.html However, i asked to make some changes. Namely in that i wanted the body mahogny, with this red colour, and a matching headstock and no pickup routing. Took about 2 months to arrive. This is what i recieved: Exactly what i ordered. As youd expect the hardware wasnt the best, nor the strings. But the fit and finish were top notch except the edge of the fretboard was too sharp an angle, so i rounded it off a bit. I also got some black tuners for it and new strings. This is what it looks like now. So basically. definitely worth the money for a decent foundation for a project.

This is my Marshall combo i recently picked up to try out. First of, its heavy, as its probably made of granite, or more likely, mdf. Secondly is that it sounds fantastic, the classic channel has some excellent sounds, as does the modern, and its switchable and blendable. The 4x10's shove that bass into your face too. However, its too heavy for me, so im selling it to fund a lighter purchase. All the knobs work perfectly, and its 300w on its own, or 450w with an extension cab attached. Wont ship, as im pretty sure the postman would die, but if you value the amp more than your postman, ill give it a go provided that you pay me and sign a form saying that im absolved from killing your postman. Theres also the remenants of a sticker on there, but should go away with some elbow grease, or your nearest shops own brand equivalent. *edit* Ive noticed that one of the cones buzzes so it needs a bit of work doing to it to get it 100%. So there we go, based in new brighton, wallasey if you want to swing by for a demo. And here are the pics:
