    I keep returning to this. Wish I had band I could use this in. Have a bump from me!

    The Spector Ian Hill he has FS was sold last year as B stock by Bass Direct (I was following it and clocked the s/n) at about the same price, from memory. His pics don't clearly show the small dings/scrapes like BD's pics did. Not implying anything untoward here .. its still a very nice bass ...but, if I was buying a resold B stock bass, I would be after more of a discount.

    Not sure selling this is one of my better ideas so I will leave this up to the weekend and withdraw if no interest by then. EDIT: On further reflection, definitely not a great idea as its a fantastic bass and I don't think having 3 basses is too many!!!!

    On reflection I think I may have slightly overpriced this. Firm price is £1800 collected ... plus an extra £25 for UK economy post if required

    This week I ordered a set of La Bella Mustang flatwound strings from BD, which arrived super fast. The D string was totally dead and unusable (on inspection, the winding seemed compromised). I called the guys at BD who not only offered to replace the faulty string but sent an entire replacement set which arrived the next day! Above and beyond! Thank you BD

    Wilcock Mullarkey in the classic vintage white/maple combination (as played by Tim Lefebvre, Me'Shell etc) with Dunlop flats. Still in very good 9+/10 condition. I have gigged it several times but amazingly not managed to put any scratches or dings in it that I can see. Weighs 7.4 pounds. New these are £2650, I believe. I will let it go for £1900 delivered within UK (sorry UK sale only), or £1875 collected from a public space in SW13 London (Barnes). Will come in Fender padded short scale gig bag but will also be well wrapped in bubble wrap and cardboard. Why sell if its so great? Simply put, I am going back to long scale now that my damaged left-hand has largely recovered from horse accident in 2023. I have a substantially less valuable Mustang bass as backup should the need arise for a short scale. Oh and the money would be useful! So no trades, thanks More pics from previous seller's ad below

    Bought a lovely Mustang bass from Geoff. He worked hard, with his family, to get the bass to me quickly even though he is recovering from surgery Talk about going above and beyond ... thank you Geoff and hope you are up and bouncing soon!

    They have an arctic white P in stock that only weighs 7.7 pounds https://fenderfever.com/products/fender-mij-traditional-ii-70s-precision-bass-2024-arctic-white

    Inspo (his is seriously roadworn!)

    My left hand, which I damaged in a horse accident in 2023, has regained a decent amount of mobility in the past year and my main issue nowadays is a degenerative neck condition (which could also have been hastened by aforementioned accident). So a long scale bass is now more comfortable for me (I have been using short scales almost exclusively) ... but it has to be super light. I spotted this Fender Traditional 60s P bass at FenderFever and it stated an amazing weight of 7.6 pounds. I asked them to double check and they confirmed. So I snaffled it and installed a DiMarzio DP122 creme pickup for the full Martyn P Casey of the Bad Seeds look. Very happy with it. No band at present but, when I get back in the saddle (obvs not a horse one), it should be very gig friendly.

    Sorry to hear of your health issues and to drag you downstairs! Would post be a possibility given the foregoing?
  15. Clarky
    Hi Geoff, did this sell? If not do you have a precise weight?

    Back up for sale as its just sitting there in bass rack doing nothing, while I am not in a band currently, and I pick up my Wilcock whenever I fancy a noodle. With D'Addario nickel rounds its £800 including post (within UK) or £775 collected from a public space in SW13 London. I can swap the strings for a spendy (cost me £55) and virtually new set of TI short scale flats for an extra £25. My post from November 7 with the Richtone advert has the most comprehensive set of pics (and it's not left the house since I acquired it from them)

    My bad, I did some googling and the 1966 to early 70s Mustangs had a 40mm nut width (not a 38mm J width). It was only the CIJ/MIJ reissues that had a J width neck.
  19. Clarky
    The original US Mustangs up until the early 70s and the CIJ/MIJ reissues from the 90s and early 2000s have slimmer necks with a J width nut. From the early/mid 70s the neck profile on US Mustangs became more P like and the JMJ and current US and Mex models emulate the chunkier neck profile.

    In case of interest, its easy to darken a rosewood (or similar) board to a more chocolatey colour with this stuff: https://www.montysguitars.com/products/montys-montypresso-relic-wax

    It was standard on early 60s Jazz basses. See attached pic

    I hear this position has been filled

    I think this used to be mine, changed hands twice between me and BC'er Jas aka Legion before he sold it in 2014. Wonderful bass which @Lozz196 had a play on once and was smitten, as I recall. GLWYS!
