Hey! To be fair I have no idea how much it's worth, happy to negotiate and strike a deal. I paid £500 about 3 years ago before upgrading Pups/loom. It had a '54 style Neck Pup and a Jazz Bridge Pup, i think i still have them, but they were lifeless and the loom was in poor condition. It's a stonking instrument. Not even remotely comparable to a current Squier model. In a blind test it would easily hold it's own with any MiM Fender (IMHO) The switch is removable i guess... I can add pics as you suggested 👍 Also, just remembered I have a gold pickguard, somewhere... Cheers for the pointers 🙂

where do I start!?! firstly, the look is deliberate! heavily reliced/roadworn by a previous owner. i LOVE it. the problem is I'm playing guitar these days, so I'm reluctantly thinning out the bass herd. the neck is one of the most beautiful things I've ever played, like butter. not been touched when the relic was being done so the neck is mint condition. i acquired this some years ago, the electrics were shot and the pickups dull and lifeless. I converted to Active EMGs 2x Jazz pickups. solderless, silent and absolutely FULL of tone!!! the neck pickup hidden under the Pup cover gives you good old fashioned Precision THUMP! room shaking low end. the bridge Pup, Wow! almost a carbon copy of Mike Dirnt. my old band played Basket Case and this thing NAILED that bass cut through. I use wireless so I installed a switch to turn off the active pickups and save battery because I leave the jack plugged in. very difficult to price this, it owes me about £300 in upgrades but I'm trying to be realistic about it's value. YES, it's Roadworn but it's not beaten up. this Bass is solid and I used it for all our downtuned songs. really good tuners and of course the electrics are pretty new. I'd say a fair price is £625 including insured post, sent in a basic gig bag. talk to me, what do you think?

Hi, the time has come to accept that my new gig as a guitar player might be a bit more long term than i first thought! I'm reluctantly selling this beauty. Its the only bass i own that i can sell! The others are modded to high heaven or a wedding present! This us a VERY rare bass and they usually sell for £750+ Taking into consideration this is modded, I've priced it sensibly at £625 including insured UK delivery I have replaced the stock pickup with an active EMG solder-less loom, which is silent in use. She plays and sound amazing. *Modifications* Replaced bridge with Black. New Gotoh light tuners Black nut. Custom-made 1-piece pickguard/control plate. Battery compartment set into the pickguard (some routing of the body was necessary but this is under the pickguard) Switch to turn off the battery because i use wireless and the jack is always plugged in. New Black knobs and string retainer, plus black strap buttons. Overall the new pickup massively improves the tone of this Bass, Mikey Way did a similar mod on his one before he started using the signature Jazz which is what gave me the idea. Included is a slightly tatty guitar gig bag. Bass will be sent in gig bag then inside a cardboard box, insured post included. Also included are the original bridge, pickguard and control plate, pickup and wiring, 2 knobs, 4 tuners (no screws) Talk to me Have a great day Terry

Thanks @BassApprentice They are really versatile. I'm only selling cos I have too many to gig with and I only keep basses I use live. My Meteora was bought most recently so she has to go first, plus the fact that she's the only bass I own which is un-modified and therefore sale-able (that's a word right?) With the bridge pickup and a bit of mid-boost I got a very serviceable Flea type sound (we play You oughta Know) With the neck pickup and a bit of bass boost and treble cut, use a pick and can get a decent double-bass type sound. All in all she's a really nice bass. Setup with flats and the tone is lovely. Message me. In sure we can do a deal. Terry.

Hi. Far sale a basically new Meteora Bass. Immaculate apart from 2 small marks on top and bottom of the body at the back. See images. These were there when I bought it last year a B-Stock. Invisible when playing the bass. £700 posted. https://www.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/other/player-plus-active-meteora-bass/0147393387.html Active EQ 18v.

Still has the wrappers on the tuning heads. Fender HiMass bridge. I don't really want to sell but I have too many basses and "Last in - First out" Awesome sounds and unique looks. Talk to me and grab yourself a bargain. Terry 07710467437

Hi Rickster, I'll be totally honest, I have 5 basses, only need 4. (Actually that's a lie, i have 3 or 4 others that i dont gig with, but let's not split hairs...) I have a Squier Mikey Way Mustang (search on here, I recently listed and withdrew it) I'd trade both of them for a premium/high-end short scale. What were you thinking? Terry

I used her in our covers band for all the pop and 60s tracks but we've moved towards more rock so I've now got the Fender Meteora. Fell in love after seeing McFly on the Royal Variety and for £675 B-stock I couldn't resist 🤷♂️ Wish I could keep the JC but I don't have the space and the wife doesn't have unlimited patience 😁

Hi people, here we have a beautiful bass. i need to sell as i have impulse-purchased a Fender Meteora which I'm in love with ❤️ It's immaculate, strung with flats and comes with a tatty but perfectly serviceable Epiphone hard case. No pickguard, this was missing when I acquired the bass. there is a Warwick bridge mod as you can see in the pictures, designed to stop the bridge posts grom pulling out and the strings silk intruding over the saddles, plus it gives unreal sustain. This was done by a previous owner but here is what he said it has a bridge/tailpiece addition which has been done very well, it's a high quality part (Warwick) and does have a few advantages - you can use more types of strings as the wrap doesn't now come over the saddles, it increases the string break angle, and makes it more resonant. other than the above, if you're looking at this then you know what you're looking for, if not the you can Google the specs Manufactured in Korea, July 2012 I will post UK with insurance in the hard case for the asking price. Talk to me

Howdy. So being realistic about market values. Let's make this £2,750 delivered and someone can love her like she deserves. Here we have a stunning instrument. My 1980 Ricky 4001 Fireglo. All original, except for a couple of the screws/washers for the machine heads which look like they've been replaced at some point previously and one I've replaced myself (see image) Near mint condition for a 43 year old bass that's been gigged plenty. Recently serviced by a Luthier, she had a couple of crackly pots and a dry solder joint, all sorted. Selling because a project has come to an end and she deserves to be played rather than hang on my wall looking pretty! Anybody looking to buy a Ricky knows how they sound and what they do, this one has the lot. Huge tone. The Clash with some OD on the bridge pup. McCartney on Come Together on the Neck with Tone=0 Mix the pickups, slightly roll off the tone knobs abs you have a beefy rock sound. She has a few knocks, I've tried to show as best I can in the pics, but all cosmetic. Hard Case is slightly tatty but closes fine, no key though. Some tarnishing on the tuner heads and a bit of rust on the input jack but all other metal parts are pristine. Serial number TK4667 dates her to November 1980. Neck is straight, action could be lowered but I had it set at a medium height for comfort. Everything works as it should, including the Rick-o-Sound stereo outputs if you fancy trying to be John Entwistle Overall she's in fantastic condition. I've priced a sensibly as I can based off BC and reverb pricing recently, there doesn't appear to be anything equivalent for sake in the UK under £3,500 (ignore the cheap one on Fleabay with a "Neck Repair")!! I'm not desperate to sell quickly, but very happy to negotiate if you have a fair offer in mind. Would rather not post, but can do that fully insured and packed up tight in her hard case. Happy to deliver/meet in Essex or nearby for diesel money, thanks for looking. Terry 07710467437

Hi, this was my main studio amp, never been gigged by me as we went ampless a couple years ago. I bought it on here used 4 years ago but only use at home now. Used but good condition, all working and no crackles. This thing is a beast, easily competes with an acoustic drum kit with volume at 10 o'clock! But it's light enough to carry with one hand! Specs from Markbass website: WEIGHT 40.79 lbs / 18.5 Kg HEIGHT 18.27 in. / 46.4 cm WIDTH 18.27 in. / 46.4 cm These amps are discontinued and are selling for £750+ I've bought a Rickenbacker bass so I'm reluctantly selling this amp. Will deliver anywhere in Essex for £15 cash or Insured Courier within UK for £45 (its heavy!) Or you collect from Billericay Essex. No cover. Power lead included. Make me a sensible offer! Cash on collection, bank transfer or PayPal all accepted.
