Hey @Bridgehouse weight and string spacing?

Best,

Ander.

Weight is just over 10lbs (approx 10.5) and string spacing is 19mm at the bridge centre of string to centre of string

And sold folks!

Could you perhaps keep the cites stuff out of a for sale thread pls?

How would they know it's Brazilian rosewood though? You could say it's a different type of wood... they would have no way to prove it.

If they suspect it’s up to you to prove not or it’s destroyed. They send samples off to check the grain - they can tell

I think CITIES CERT. is not needed anymore since 1st Jan 2020.

Only for certain rosewood types. Brazilian is unaffected and still covered by CITES

Just a question. I am not sure but I was reading that type of logo (from headstock) is called "transition logo" and was made for 65/66 basses. Is that true? I am sure there are some experts here and can leave some comments about that. Thanks!

Beautiful bass!!!! 😍

The Transition Logo applied to most L series - it’s seen from late 63 to mid 66, but it depended on what stocks of older or newer labels they had in at the time. As mass produced instruments the dating by specific component can be quite difficult

Now sold. 

Crikey that was quick!

Is this still available ??

On hold at the moment whilst the first responder gets back to me re costs and shipping.

Cheers! Saves my wallet/testicles/marriage then

Hah! It’s basically a sophisticated P bass with a more flexible pickup/electronics arrangement. 
 

Stick it in passive mode and it basically is a P bass.

Lovely  34” scale I presume?

Yep!

1964 Fender Precision in Sunburst

All original, no modifications, no swap outs and no refrets. 

I purchased this from Andy Baxter Basses - I still have the original invoice in the case if you want to check it out for provenance etc. 

Neck date is showing October 1964 - this was likely assembled and finished late 1964. Showing an L-Series Serial Number. 

Brazilian Rosewood board, clay dots, reverse tuners. I'd say the pickup is a mid-range output for a bass of this date. Currently strung with Chromes. 

Action is low - just under 1.8mm top end to just over 2mm lower end. 

As with any bass of this vintage, it's the pictures that count.. I can take more if you want to see anything specifically. 

Comes with original case, and original bridge/pickup covers with screws. 

No Trades. No overseas shipments at all. 

As I'm out and about with work all over the place anyway (despite the current situation!) I will most likely hand deliver myself given the cost - but we can discuss.

£5500

 

ACG RetroB P5

Bought directly from Alan end of 2018. Has had very little use since then.

Number 0282 - details on the site are here: http://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0282-retrob-5-2/

Body is Alder with a Figured Maple top, Neck is 1 piece Birdseye Maple with an Acrylic Impregnated Maple board. Satin finish.

Electronics: ACG PB Split Coil with an East P-Retro preamp - gives Stack1: Volume, Tone (active or passive), Stack2: Dual Boost, Frequency (active only), Switches for parallel/serial and active/passive. 

Pretty much unmarked - there's the odd tiny mark here and there if you go looking for it, but nothing substantial at all. Comes with a Hiscox hard case.

No Trades. No posting outside the UK

£1100

 

ACG Finn 4

Natural Finish.

This is a special number which was originally built for a charity Cricket event (I am led to believe). I acquired it from @Bigwan a couple of years ago.

Lockdown clearout and a move to pretty much only playing Fretless (a la Shuker Uberhorn) means it's up for sale.

It doesn't have a hard case, but there is a gig bag that came with it. 

Stack 1: Volume, Tone (Active and Passive), Stack 2: Dual Boost, Frequency (Active only) , Parallel/Serial switching and Active/Passive switching. Simple, good, solid, reliable handmade 4 string!

Thank you BassChat for teaching me the patience and calm to rise above the slings and arrows that I receive on these hallowed threads on a daily basis.

Thank you BassChat for allowing me the strength of character to defeat mine enimies on the Den Of Iniquity Thread.

(I'm watching you @Skinnyman, @Ricky 4000, @Bridgehouse, @Raymondo et al)

Thank you to all the build threads, which are so amazing & informative.

And thank you to all the friends that I've made, and will make on here.

 

You can watch all you like, it all depends on what you actually see.......

Looks nice. 

Not as nice as the tasteful leopardskin-print throw but still very nice. 

Looking at those cushions on your chair I’m guessing that the Chalfonts are still giving you grief?

Thanks for sharing the build - and for the fascinating glimpse through the keyhole Chez Teebs 😁

Who would live in a hoooouse like thiiiiiiis?

I always fancy a '51P whenever I see one. 😍

And I figured it's the fretted bass that you're more likely to get rid of... mind you, your '64 P is interesting (it happens to be my YOB. Not that I'm usually that bothered about YOB basses).

I'll have to see what you might put up for sale in the future... I have the money in the bank you know.... making a whooping 0.1% interest at the moment! 🙄

There is a bit of me that would actually let the 64P go and use the money to get a stupidly expensive fretless - something like a Fodera or a Wal or summit. It's just sitting here on the wall at the moment not getting played. Which is actually pretty bloody tragic.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Oh, okay then.

Nah, it was fine actually. The Fishman kit in it is really good. No fuss or feedback when I plugged it in, and still has juice in the old battery!

See, my fingers are beginning to polish up the dusty strings!

Perhaps one day, you'll give me a small P/X allowance on it, against your green '51 P... 👍

You got eyes for the green 51P huh?

It's currently got a one off ric-o-like single coil in it which is properly rude and naughty.. but suits it very well

Just now, Teebs said:

That's nice

Nope - he's a twerp!

Heh - yeah he is..

It's a great bass - lightweight, and has a unique tone being hollow.

It cost very little actually - I'd say probably about £300 all in including some custom hardware and a hand wound pickup. It does sorely need de fretting tho....
