	I got this to use as a headphone practice amp and to use as an input to my audio interface. It has an aux input so you can play along to backing tracks and drum loops. It has eq and clean/fuzz settings. You can DI it or plug phones in. I'm not using this anymore as my new amp has its own aux input. These are £129 at Thomann. Price includes UK postage. https://www.palmer-germany.com/en/products/guitar-amplifiers/5140/pocket-amp-bass?c=2153

	I managed to strip the truss rod on this neck so got a luthier to take off the skunk stripe, fit a new truss rod and put a new skunk stripe in. After putting the neck back on, the a crack appeared between the top inlay and the nut with the truss rod at full adjustment. I've played this for a while with either light (39-96) labella flats or thomasik jazz rounds/jazz flats and there's minimal relief and the action is good. With higher tension strings, e.g. DR Legend the relief is creeping out beyond the 1mm mark which results in action too high for my tastes. If you're looking to put together a 70s build on a budget an you're not wanting high tension string or you're too fussed about a super low action, this should be fine. This is the original model with rosewood rather than pau ferro board. Price includes UK postage.

	I got this a few years back with the idea that my other half might take up the bass - she didn't. Anyway, I fell in love with the beautiful rubbery sound of a short scale with flats. I've done plenty of jazz jam sessions and the odd jazz gig with this and it's perfect for that. With the tone open, you get McCartney type tones and rolled off sounds almost upright like. The pickup is fantastic. I'm selling as I have too many basses and I'm decluttering my life right now. Condition wise, it's used not abused. It's nearly 20 years old and it's been played so it's on the good side of what you might expect. There's a small crack in the lacquer at the back of the headstock and a tiny crack in the paint at the neck joint. A couple of dings in the top of the headstock and some blemishes in the finish. It's got Thomastik flats on it which I put on about 6-7 years ago and they have remained since. I'd prefer local pickup in Brighton but I'll post at buyers expense. Thanks for looking.

	75 RI Jazz gets my vote.

	Bought a Markbass amp stand from @ash and very happy with transaction.

	Tomas bought a jazz body and bits and pieces from me. Totally smooth transaction. Very easy guy to deal with.

	I'm 95% sure this is a Squire Classic Vibe body. The pickups are Fender 60s custom shop and the pots are CTS. The bridge looks like it's Squire. This is something that I've gigged loads of times but now selling as I've got too many basses! Some minor cracks in finish around neck pocket. UK postage included in price.

	Thinning the herd and this isn't getting much use. I bought this as I have a Mustang which I really like playing but I find the 19 fret neck a bit limiting. This has 22 frets and a super slim neck so a bit more versatile and even though 2" longer in scale than the Mustang, still very easy to play. You can see from the pictures it has a paint chip but other than that no issues on the finish. Truss rod is like an MM Stingray which is a nice touch. Currently strung with LaBella flats. It has Fender USA 75 RI pickups in it (I'll supply the originals). If you want it returned to stock, I'll drop the price by £50. No hardcase with this. Local pickup in Brighton preferred but will box it up for anyone who wants to arrange a courier. Thanks for looking.

	Thinning the herd so this is up for sale. I bought this to replace a 78 jazz that I'd sold due to being a bit too heavy. It's so pretty that I'm scared to take it anywhere. I got a small ding in it (shown in pic) and wanted to cry. I don't want to keep something that I'm so precious about! Plays and sounds great. Nice combo of skinny fret wire but more modern flatter radius. No hardcase with this. Local pickup in Brighton preferred but I'll box it up for anyone who wants to arrange a courier. It will come with the white pickguard that it was sold with.

	Selling this as thinning down the herd. I got this as I wanted a passive jazz to string with flats to take to jazz jams but I've come to the realisation that I only like flats on a 4 string P so this duplicates my GB Spitfire. Been gigged a small handful of times but mainly bedroom use. Currently strung with pretty fresh DR Hi Beams. No hardcase with this. Local pickup in Brighton preferred but will box this up for anyone who wants to arrange a courier. It will come with the original white pickguard. Thanks for looking.

	If you're playing certain songs with a pick because you're hitting a limitation in your fingerstyle then putting the time in to overcome that limitation is probably the way to go in the long term as you'll be taking your overall level up a notch. Easier said than done though 🙂
