So.... this is an Epiphone Newport but with some major tweaking to make it far more useable than the stock model. I've had it completely gutted and re-wired with decent pots and wiring, which has really improved the usability of the bass. Set up as Vol/Vol/Tone (the blend control was useless), and most importantly reinstalled the bridge pickup in-phase, which bizarrely Epiphone still haven't changed, seemingly leaning into it as a feature rather than a bug. I've also lowered the neck pickup as it's overly strong magnets create the string buzz thats audible on many of the demo videos of these. More minor modifications include Gibson knobs and a custom black pickguard for that 60s EB-3 nostalgia. Collection/tryout welcome in Bournemouth, or can double box up for a courier. Any questions / offers please PM!

@Mickeyboro I'll probably get another one in good time, but i now owe Limelight some money (A not-uncommon situation...)

A bunch of Hipshot USA Ultralite hardware (3/8" size) for a project that never happened. Xtender has been used sparingly, other tuners are brand new. 1 Hipshot USA HE6C Xtender Nickel/Satin Chrome £75 Posted 3 Hipshot USA HB6C Shiny Nickel £75 Posted

After a bit of a bass-buying spree lately I need to let go of this funky little one. Short scale and very lightweight, with a Gator gigbag, extra set of La Bella flatwounds and a Nordy Mute. Collection preferred from the Bournemouth area, but I do travel often and can also post if need be. For those who don't know:

Bought the wrong thing... not for the first time! Hipshot Licenced Ultralite HB6C Tuning keys in shiny nickel, 3/8" size and all Bass side. £45 posted.

Both in pretty much new condition, boxed and postage included. EBS Bass IQ Envelope Filter £120 Dunlop Volume X Mini Volume Pedal £107 SOLD

Harley Benton's take on the mustang, but in a PJ format and with Gotoh hardware. This one has had a push/pull pot added which solos the P pickup. It also has a set of Nordstrand pickups fitted, and now sounds rather grown up! Fender short scale gigbag included, and I do have a shipping box if needed. A high quality bass for a very reasonable price. n

@oldslapper yup it is!

Bought when i needed some extra protection for my bass travelling in a big van surrounded by flight cases, this is now surplus to requirements. Not in perfect condition by any means, but offers plenty of protection. Barely fits in my van, so very happy to let it go to someone with need. Fitted both of my 3/4 scale basses well. Collection only, for the reasons already mentioned, in the Poole / Bournemouth area. If you can't bear to take it from me for nothing, I'm always happy to suggest an RNLI donation.

Happy to discuss offers on this... hard to figure out exactly where it should be priced! Feedback via PM welcome if anyone has any thoughts!

I'm selling this Warwick Rockbass Streamer Standard on behalf of one of my students... she needs something a little smaller! As far as I can see it's a mid-2000s instrument. Passive four string with twin MEC humbucker pickups. I have replaced the tuners with proper Gotohs as the Warwick ones were failing, a pretty well documented issue that won't be a problem on this. Gigbag included, postage possible, and I have it here so happy to answer any questions! 4.2kg (9.4lbs) .

2 of these GLXD16 Sets available, £325 each posted. 1 SOLD Wireless receiver with tuner built in, by miles the most reliable and user friendly wireless system I've used to this point. One receiver has velcro on the base, and one receiver has it's little rubber door missing (Fairly common I think!) All in great working order. Choice between two cable lengths for the first buyer!

@bassadder Yes indeed!
