  1. Phew!!
  2. I was in the market for a Mustang when this came on the market. I was really torn, I was driving on my hols and going up the M1 through Rotherham where this is based so could've picked it up. BUT . . . . . I lurve maple necks and the FSR really floated my boat so that's what's won out - although I've got to wait until I get back before I can take delivery. Got to drive back through Rotherham so must resist temptation to buy another!!
  3. It might be an idea to post measurements of exactly how high the action is. What is excessive to you may be fine for someone els and you could be worrying over nothing. At least a prospective buyer knows what they're getting and you can sell with a clear conscience!
  4. I've got a 76 P with a Jazz width neck.
  5. Sold Frank a bass - prompt payment and good Comms. All went well. Happy daze!
  6. My dad's old Morris Minor was that colour!
  7. Two in stock now at GAK - well one actually 'cos I've just ordered one!
  8. Good thinking!
  9. Resurrecting this thread. Those that have the MIM Mustang PJ's - what's the pickup balance like? Is the J pickup useable on it's own or is it overshadowed by the P? I'm wanting one of these but reading the threads over on Talkbass, it looks like the American Performer series has much more going for it in terms of how the pickups perform with each other. Admittedly they're twice the price, but I want to be sure I'm going to be satisfied with what I get . . . .
  10. If you don't want the tug bar but also don't like the look of the undrilled body, take off the scratch plate and stick some black insulating tape under where the holes would be. This leaves it looking like the body had been drilled bit the bar taken off. And reversible!
  11. Goldoh from Thomann! https://www.thomann.de/gb/goeldo_hw50c_bass_3d_steg.htm
  12. Lovely Squier Bronco Bass in red, purchased from Big County's Scott Whitley. This bass benefits from some lovely flame on the neck and headstock. it's in very good condition with only a couple of very slight marks. The grey square thing on the scratchplate is a stick on furniture carpet protector from B&Q which I use as a thumb rest. Happy to remove before sale if required. There's a scratch on volume knob. The bass benefits from the following mods: High Mass Bridge Artec Blade style pickup The original bridge and pickup will be included. Based in Milton Keynes. Postage available at buyers risk and cost. No case available but I have packing materials. £125 firm.
  13. Meet Veronica. She's a Japanese JB62 made for the export market with some upgrades. She's from 2007/8 and bears the 'Crafted in Japan' label. She benefits from the following alterations: Wizard 84 Pickups Badass II Bridge Vintage Style Tuners (although non reverse) from a MIJ Fender Hootenaney Button Dunlop Straplock Tuning Pegs Gorgeous Seafoam Green Nitro finish from Andy Viccars inc matching headstock '64 style decal Earthing strip removed, body drilled to accept earthing wire from bridge to cavity Cavities shielded with copper foil. Groovy Aum sticker on pickguard (happy to remove before sale) Mint pickguard imported from The States. This is a well used bass and the parts do show signs of use. By nature, nitro is a delicate finish and there are marks to the body including some light buckle rash on the back. I've tried to photograph the marks as best I can but some haven't come out as clearly as I'd liked - so maybe I should describe it as slightly roadworn. The front pot has a slight crackle. I can't guarantee the electrics are original. Reddish mark on the back of the neck - no idea what it is - been there since I've had it. Incredibly dark and lovely rosewood board She's set up with a reasonably low action. No significant dead spots or wolf tones and she's an extremely resonant bass that has received lots of compliments on her sound. I used this bass when the band I was in supported Madness at Northampton Cricket Ground! I've sold this bass on once and bought it back again, so won't be disappointed if it doesn't go. Hard to price, but looking for £650. Only trades would be something Mustangy or one of the Fusion range of GK Class D heads. Messages regarding other trades will be ignored. I'd much prefer collection from Milton Keynes so any potential buyer can check her out in the flesh, in which case she'll be supplied in a leatherette slip case. I am prepared to post at buyer's cost and risk. Most couriers won't insure musical instruments unless shipped in a hard case. A good quality hard case can be added for an extra £50. Thanks for looking.
  14. Sold a P Bass body to Mart that he'd previously sold me - good comms and prompt payment. Deal with confidence!
  15. Sold some tuners to Keith. Good Comms and prompt payment. Good fella!
  16. Thank God it's not actually in stock - would've pulled the trigger. Asked to be notified when in stock though!
  17. Did you order the Serek direct from the manufacturers or are they distributed over here?
  18. Details here: https://www.wharfedalepro.com/product-detail.php?pid=107 In well used but fully working condition. Really handy for sticking on a mic stand base and having close. You can run your mic into it and control your own vocal level. Not really man enough for bass or kick drum but a good solution if you sing a bit. £80 firm collected from Milton Keynes or posted for an extra tenner.
  19. For reluctant sale is my lovely California JM. Matt black ash body with a maple fingerboard. There's some nice flame going on on the neck too. This is a really solid bass and very resonant - great for funk, it has a nice natural compression. As the frets on these basses are Plekked, they can be set up really nice and this one is no exception. It has a few marks from gigging but nothing significant and I've done my level best to show everything in the pictures. The mark on the body end of the back of the neck is a pattern in the wood and not a dink. Everything works as it should - she's a real nice player. Weight wise, she's a solid 10lb so no lightweight. She would, however, make a great weapon in a bar room brawl - not that I've tried that out 😉 The Aum sticker comes free and is removable. The neck blocks are also aftermarket stickers and will come off easily enough. Would much prefer buyer to collect, however I will post at the buyers risk and expense. To post insured would require a hard case, which I can supply for an extra £50 - otherwise she'll come in a Sandberg gig bag. £700 firm. Price dropped to £650. Note - I also have a knackered hard case i can include FOC for posting. Only trades I'd entertain would be something Mustang shaped or one of the Class D 'Fusion' heads from GK. Thanks for looking.
  20. Set of Fender 70's style tuners in good condition including ferrules. Screws included but one screw is slightly different to the rest. £50 plus a fiver postage!
  21. Precision body, sold to me as Mighty Mite but no maker marks on the body. Immaculate condition, can't find a mark on it, here's the link to the original ad I believe it's made of ash. It weighs 2.35 kg and when made up into a bass weighed 9.2 lb including a high mass bridge and vintage style pickups. I'll include a fender neck plate and screws. The main pics make it look yellower than it is in the flesh - the end on pics give a better idea of colour. Looking for what I paid - £125 plus a tenner postage or collection from Milton Keynes. No offers.
