Sale agreed pending payment.

Bought a pair of Phil Jones Bass H850 headphones in the clearance sale from Guitar Guitar. Hated them. To me, they made my basses sound fizzy. YMMV, though I'm not likely to take a return on these. GG won't take a return for hygiene reasons. Hopefully Basschatters will be less sensitive but I should stress that I have worn these for a total of about 5 minutes. You can have them for what I paid. I'll even shout for the postage. If you turn out to like them, you'll have yourself a virtually brand new boxed set of cans for £20 less than anyone else is asking (GG have run out). PJB product page: http://philjonesbass.net/cms/index.php/product-h850/ Pics? Well, they look exactly like a brand new pair of headphones in a box with all the kit, but shout me if you need any pics for any reason.

Some interest but very much still here ...

More pics Made in Mexico 2011, but in the style of a good ol' 1957 made-in-America P. In the popular 'sunburst' colourway and positively oozing fake wear and tear. It's lovely. I rarely play it but everyone needs a P, don't they? Comes with a decent Fender gig bag, weighs 3.5kg (7.72lb) according to my (slightly flattering?) bathroom scales. I am literally crying like a baby at the thought of parting with this. Details, as if you needed them: https://shop.fender.com/en-US/electric-basses/precision-bass/road-worn-50s-precision-bass/0131712303.html?rl=en_US&rdl=en_GB Not keen to post but might be persuadable. Sensible offers considered. No overseas postage, sorry. Good for metal. Probably

Turns out I really need £350, and how is this German-built five-string two-pickup bass not worth such a paltry amount? Rhetorical question, btw. Anyway, AYMBA, before the Rockbass thing, Warwick produced these entry-level passive Streamers in Germany. This one is the 5-string, 2-pickup model, built in September 2000. The body is carolena (pine, apparently) and the neck is ovangkol. Natural oil finish and one-piece bridge. Sounds very nice too, though the output seems a bit quieter than most basses -- I understand that's down to the pots used on this model, but haven't got around to replacing them. Proper solid chunky wood, hence 4.2kg / 9.26lb. Comes in a Warwick gig bag ('proudly made with RokTex©'). Some wear and tear to the body if you look closely. Strung low E to high C. Sensible offers entertained. Sorry, no overseas postage. Not keen to post at all, in fact, but might be persuadable within the UK. OK, £275 anyone? Pretty much what you'd pay for a cheapo Rockbass, only you get a proper German one to show off to your mates and feel all growed up. All the pics:

More pics The only bass I ever owned that paid for itself via gigging. I bought it new from Denmark Street in 2003 and it was my only bass for about 5 years. It has some minor wear and tear but has been regularly waxed and well looked after. At one point I had Martin at the Bass Gallery put mother-of-pearl dots in the fingerboard at my, ahem, 'difficult' places. Later thought better of it, so had Bernie at GB Guitars replace them with black plastic dots which are only visible in the right light. All top quality workmanship but hence the bargain price. Ebony board on ovangkol bolt-on neck. Ash body with flame maple front. Three-band EQ with push-pull pot to engage passive mode. Gold hardware, side dots to mark 'fret' positions. A stonking solid bit of wooden loveliness weighing 4kg (8.82lb). Cuts through the mix like a big rusty carving knife of music. Also goes mwah. Comes in a tough Warwick gig bag, though sadly not the original velvety-lined one (the cat found that and weeed on it). Don't think you can get these now unless you pay Custom Shop prices with your puny English pounds. Sorry, no overseas sales. I'm not mad keen to post but might be persuadable. Sensible offers may be entertained.

(You do have a convertible, don't you?) Here's the skinny: https://barefacedaudio.com/products/super-midget Complete with Roqsolid dust cover. These currently go for £729 so I reckon five tons is a cracking deal. I'm probably not going to post this, mind.
