Harley Benton PJ-75 £120 including UK postage. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pj_75ow_vintage.htm Nice 5-string PJ bass - this was my backup when I had a Maruszczyk Jake 5, but I've made a commitment to 4-string basses so no longer needed. Good demo here from Bass Bonedo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcvnnWGAL0o It's wired with a KiOgon loom but just as a P bass (i.e. controls are volume and tone) - an upgrade on the stock electronics but note that the bridge pickup is currently disconnected. Original PJ loom will be included. The current roundwounds are starting to get tired. I can include a set of Ernie Ball Slinky flats for £40 if that is of interest. Good weight for a 5-string at 4.190kg (9lb 4oz).

Immaculate Markbass MB58R MINI CMD 121 PURE. https://www.markbass.it/product/mb58r-mini-cmd-121-pure/ £790 including UK postage, original box, and UK power lead. This is from the new MB58R range. There are two 12" combos in the 'mini' range: the cheaper "P" with the piezo tweeter and a 300W head; and this one, the "PURE" with the hi-fi tweeter and a 500W head. The weight is only 10.3kg, which is insane - load-in is an absolute joy! The EQ points are well-chosen and intuitive, although personally I ended up using the amp just about flat, with a small amount of the "old school" knob dialled in. With the gain and master down quite low (both at 9 o'clock), this was enough to match our drummer in an eight-piece function band. The power-to-weight ratio of the combo is astounding. However, for me, my heart remains with powered speakers, so moving this Markbass on. Speaker: 1 x 12” Neodimium Custom Tweeter: Markbass hi-fi tweeter Speaker Power Handling: 400W RMS (AES Standard) Output Power: 500W RMS @ 4 ohm, 300W RMS @ 8 ohm Dimensions (WxHxD): 15.35” x 18.50” x 14.17” / 39 cm x 47 cm x 36 cm Weight: 22.7 lbs / 10.3kg I can also add a barely-used Markbass stand for £25, and a brand new Hotcovers custom-fit cover (black 600D polyester) for £35.

UK postage now included in the price.
