Bumpage!

[i][color=#0000ff]*SOLD - [/color][/i] [b]Dearmond ('by Guild') Starfire[/b] MIK 1997 from the renowned Peerless factory My bass cull continues, I'm reducing my collection down to a P-Bass ... Finished in a lovely transparent crimson red with a nice grain pattern showing through. In excellent condition, no dings or scratches etc. The medium scale (32") neck is good & straight, vintage style frets have virtually no wear. There is a slight repair by Overwater Guitars done between binding & fretboard at first fret - I've tried to show this in the photo. However, it's a good solid repair, hardly noticeable, cannot be felt & doesn't affect the playabilty of this fast neck. Electrics work fine. The stock USA made 'Gold Tone' pickups sound really sweet. The bass itself has quite a wide tonal range, surprising for a hollowbody - from a sixties thump to almost Jaco-esque burp from the bridge pickup. There's a centre block in the body which helps eliminate feedback at high volumes, also great for when using fuzz pedals! I've had the crap (IMO) stock tuners upgraded to decent Wilkinson ones. These hold their tuning well & are very smooth. They also fitted in the existing screw holes in the headstock. I will include the original tuners, should/if the new owner want them. A new hard case is included with sale. Hard cases for Starfires are virtually impossible to come by. However the Epiphone Jack Casady case fits the Starfire nicely (these are £99 from GAK) The bass is currently strung with a new set of Status flatwounds, but I will also include a nicely played in set of 32" scale D'addario Chromes, which are bit different sounding.

now £425 [b]1980 Shergold Marathon MK1a [/b] in 'Cherry Red' With much reluctance selling this lovely vintage iconic British bass... In pretty good condition. Few dinks in the body, though nothing major as can be seen in the photos. Has the usual lacquer cracking that all Shergolds have, though not too much - if it didn't it would be a respray Lovely neck to play, frets have plenty of life left in them. Neck is good & straight, binding in excellent condition. Strung with 45-105 DR Lo-Riders. I've had the bass rewired with quality 250k CTS pots & a PIO tone cap. This vastly improves tone & output over the original 100k pots. However, it is an easily reversible mod - I have kept all the original pots & tropical fish cap, wiring harness & will provide with bass to new owner, for completeness. Tonewise, I would describe this bass as being a cross between a precision & a Rickenbacker. As per photos the bass is with it's original truss rod cover, pick guard & rare ashtray bridge cover.

*SOLD* Mods please remove [b]EMG active P-Bass pickup[/b] with pots, harness, socket etc.... A 'vintage' 80's model in good condition. £30 (exc.P&P) Please PM me if interested.

[i][b][color=#ff0000]*SOLD* Mods please remove[/color][/b][/i] [b]Fender Roadworn 50's Precision Pickup for sale.[/b] I understand that this the USA made Fender Original Precision pickup, but relic'd in the 'Roadworn' fashion. Great vintage tone. Uninstalled from my own Roadworn, which was replaced by a SD SPB-1 I had spare, really because that's what I've always used. However, TBH I can't hear much difference in tone, the Fender sounds as if it has a touch more in the mids, still a very sweet sounding pickup. £25 (exc. P&P) Please PM me if interested. [url="http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/items%20for%20sale/Wilson-Bontempi048_zpse185b81d.jpg.html"][/url]

Surprised this is still around at this bargain price! These are great basses, comparable to a decent Fender from that period. Similar to previous post, would have probably gone for this myself too, if I hadn't already got my Tokai & a Fender Roadworn. Have a bump!

Bumpovski! :-)

Bump & price drop to £50!!!

Bargain Bump! :-)

[color=#ff0000][b]*SOLD - Pending Payment*[/b][/color] [b]Vox Standard Bass [/b] Made by Matsumoku Japan 1982. In pretty good condition, no obvious dinks. Neck is good & straight - quite nice to play, frets have very little wear. I've listed this as a project as it's missing a pickup, but buyer could get a P-Bass pickup to preference and have it installed without difficulty - all electrics, pots & jack socket are still on bass. It's an easy project, was tempted to put an EMG in it myself, but I don't seem to have time or inclination due to pedal builds and other guitars needing fixing. I also need the space! This would make a good quality pub 'beater' bass [url="http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/items%20for%20sale/VOX24001_zps6bd52f70.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/items%20for%20sale/VOX24007_zpse81ee8d6.jpg.html"][/url] Please PM me if you have any questions, or need any further info. £50 pickup/collection Bristol Cheers
