The SB-2 is Leo Fenders final design on the P-J. Smaller bodied than a precision is easier on the neck. This is one of the first run versions and is just amazing, the build quality is excellent with the now discontinued rosewood board..along with a trans orange finish, also now unavailable. US hardware and pickups (the industry renowned MFD pickups). The output is huge and great tonally. Changed out the 'tribute' stamped bridge for a G & L stamped bridge. One unusual design difference is the bass has one volume per set of pickups and no treble . Balancing the tone is a very simple blend of the p pickup (bassier) and the J pickup (treble...ier) volumes. There is an easy mod to make it like a p-j or use stack knobs, but i never felt there was a need. Really a great gig instrument, smaller bodied than a p bass, easy on the neck and back (weighs a shade under 10lb and quite comfortable) . Finally it has a hipshot detuner a great upgrade to the four stringer format. I cant say enough good things about these. Leo Fender said it was his best bass design. A players instrument for sure. No P bass at this price can match this basses quality and versatility. Drop in and try (Rochester Kent) Meet up with reason for petrol/coffee money) Post at buyer expense (insured)

Bought this off of here a little while back but agressively downsizing the herd so last in first out... Translucent white lacquer road worn the proper way...as in..used and played. Its is by no means pristine but plays beautifully, brilliant neck and the Aguilars are great pickups. Wear in the finish comes in the form of some lacquer cracks (not the wood, just the lacquer) on the bottom bout and some lap wear. See pics. The neck is unmarked and unworn, action is the best i have on any of my basses ( and i have a few...). Zero fret. Carbon wrapped scratchplate (better colour than the original imho..but easily removed if needed) Great sounding, great playing Pro level instrument at the price of a sire or the like. If it had been a case queen its worth around £800+

@chuck_stones as per rules i'll pm you...

Everyone knows the Cort story, manufactures for other big names etc etc They are pushing forwards with premium basses under their own name now and this is pretty unique in that it was designed to be five string from the get go. Finished as a green burst, purple slightly translucent back. •Body Material: Mahogany with poplar burl facing •Finish: Satin •Neck Finish: Satin •Neck Material: Roasted maple, walnut, purpleheart 7 piece •Fingerboard: Roasted maple •Inlays: Dots •Pickups: Bartolini •Electronics: Markbass •Controls: Volume (push/pull active passive), pickup pan, bass, middle, treble •Pickguard: N/A •Hardware: Black •Gig Bag/Case: gig bag •Accessories: Tools •Frets: 24 Radius 15.75" •String Spacing: 19mm •Nut Width: 47mm (1 1/2") •Scale Length: 34” •Weight: 7lb15oz/3.6kg Lots of little details like a wider than normal volute of the neck so it will hang in a wallhanger. The neck is something else..excellent. I covered the controls cover with carbon fibre wrap. Very few signs of use, comes with fitted gig bag.

Yes its a relist, as there was no interest beyond lots of GLWTS type comment which are kind and supportive, but nothing in terms of purchasing inquiries.. Trying again. This is as cheap as you'lll find anywhere and is genuinely a lovely thing.

Yes

Ok trying again... The Billy Sheehan bass, no shrinking violet this... Dual outputs, fiercesome pickups basically a beast of a bass. In excellent but used condition. Not scratched, one small dint, that hasnt broken or cracked the finsh. The is the 25th Anniversary version, The 'p' pickups have been uprated to the relentless pickups found on the very latest version. Stock, these have neck dive (its not a small bass!) so i have changed the tuners to hipshot ultralite including the detuner. Originals supplied as part of sale. Stickers are what came with the bass (see 'spooky' Billy sheehans homage to his beloved cat) and in keeping with the vibe, yet removable if needed. Selling with original tuners included. Comes with original case. All the usuals, come round to try, can post at buyers risk and expense (insured)

The matte/silk finishes on the Jazz and my precision i also have for sale are both excellent and haven't gone 'shiny'. If there was an orange one i'd be all over it

@lemmywinks I have bought a few AE basses and not had a horror yet, just dont expect the electtronics to be of any real use. I have enjoyed brining this up to a decent level. The base builds however are usually very nice, if a little too glossy on occasion (as in dipped in treacle level of glossy). This one ranges from 300 to 450 from what i have seen. I have priced this one based on the pre amp (£150+) and pickups the rework (especially the neck) and extra functions. Tbh when i got the bass in the first place it wasnt gig quality the stock pickups were all over the place in volume output and b string gauges over 110 didnt fit. Now this one certainly is.

They are good for the money and capabble and way better than the stock originals. Obviously not going to touch the nordstrand at three times the price but good pickups all the same. I have found the Guyker stuff in general to be good.

The neck is unique for sure. It's effectively three sided. Not so much twisted as tge facets change along the neck. I'll try and photograph it..

34 3/4 (b) to 33 (G)

PRICE DROP £375 This my dear basschatters is a copy of a boden. Inevitably it originated in China but I have put many hours into improving what was a bass with 'good bones' to this. The fan frets aren't quite as agressive as my dingwall (34.75" down to 33") but really effective. The fit and finish on the neck and body is excellent, the mild quilting on the top is very classy, with the main body in ash, the 5 piece laminate neck is faceted. Balance on the strap is excellent (who would have guessed...no neck dive..lol) But.. the electronics on the original...not good at all. So... I have replaced the pickups with Guypers nordstrand-a-like humbuckers I have upgraded the pre amp to a john east and series/paralleled the pickups as well. I have nitro refinished the neck, adding some rounding to the board edge for a more comfortable playing experience. I machined out the B locking block to accept 130 gauge strings. Copper lined the control cavity. Mild fret dress What you have here now is a neat, powerful bass. The Neck is quirky but actually a pleasant and easy in the hand. The fan frets give a decently even string tension and response. The nitro finish isnt sticky and feels great. Overall these chinese copies can have 'great bones' or just be plain horrible. This one is very nice, good neck to body joint, the woods used are good quality, hardware is ok. The refinish on the neck was a game changer, the switching gives a good variety of voices to the bass. I like it a lot and have gigged it a number of times and it always generates favorable comment. But the time to clear a few basses has come (check my others i have for sale) The Ford sticker is easily removed.
