For sale - no trades, thanks. Beautiful P bass body from Guitarbuild: £180: body only £250: fully loaded (Matt Freeman Squier pickups; KiOgon solderless loom; pickguard; aged bridge, knobs, and screws; tug bar; strap buttons; Fender neck plate; and neck screws) - or message me if you want some of the parts but not all. Collect from Bristol BS3, or +£10 for UK postage. I bought this used, and the original description said: "Hand finished in nitro it has been bleached with Oxalic acid then aniline dyed yellow under the sealer coat as per older 50’s/60’s factory process to give a strong yellow centre. Sunburst then applied over sealer coat with three coats of clear gloss and buffed" There is some (lovely) wear - see photos. The finish will become even more beautiful as it continues to age naturally. Bad bits: The neck pocket has a small slice missing off the G-side corner. This is cosmetic and doesn't affect stability of the neck mount. If the bridge is tightened down a normal amount, the front (i.e. neck side) raises off the body a bit. So I just didn't over tighten it, and the string tension holds it down fine with no problems. The loaded body weighs 2742g on my kitchen scales, so you're looking at a finished bass of about 4kg (depending on the neck and tuners). Any questions, please reply on the thread or send me a private message.

Nice-playing neck from a Fender Modern Player jazz bass. Nut: Synthetic Bone Radius: 9.5″ (241 mm) Fretboard: Rosewood Fret Size: Jumbo Neck Material: Maple Neck Shape: “C” Shape Nut Width: 1.5″ (38.1 mm) In good condition, with just a couple of quite light scratches on the fretboard. Frets visually have a small amount of wear, which has not caused any playing issues. Truss rod working fine. It uses a wheel at the heel end, and I'll include an adjustment rod. The tuner holes are very slightly smaller than standard - afraid I don't have the right tool to measure the exact diameter. I have some official Fender bushings to hand, and they don't quite fit. I had Hipshot Ultralites in there with no problem. I don't own any calipers, but the neck fit well on the bodies I've had with it: the original Fender jazz body it came on, a few Squier P bodies, and a third-party body specced to Fender dimensions. Weighs 928g on my kitchen scales. £150 collected from Bristol, or can post for £10.

G & D : Gut-a-Like Hepcat, just over two years old. A & E: whatever steels comes on a Christopher bass - their own-brand? About 10 years old and nicely worn in. Good mixed set which works really well for old-school swing, etc. I don't bow so can't comment on that aspect. The Gut-a-Like are not an exact match tension-wise for the steels, but I adapted ok. Free to a good home!
