For sale is my beautiful Alembic Europa from the early ’90s. The bass is in very good condition. Everything works like it should and the neck plays great with a very low action. The neck is straight and well adjustable, frets are still good too.This bass has a broad range of sounds with it’s 2 pickups, eq and filter controls. Weight is 4,45kg on my kitchen scale. Balance is good, it’s ergonomically a comfortable instrument. A softcase is included in the sale. Not sure if it came originally with the bass. I've been told it is by the previous owner, but it's not branded. It’s a fantastic bass, but other type basses fit my needs better. Lowered fixed price: €3.650 I am located in the Netherlands, so probably EU offerings will be the only ones that are interesting. Partial trade concerning a much cheaper instrument (bass or guitar) is negotiable. Per example; 5er with narrow stringspacing, strat/jazzmaster or other offset, good acoustic guitar, stingray 4 with lacquered neck and maple fretboard..

This one is for the weight watchers amongst us!! For sale is a Fender American Professional Jazz Bass from 2018, with selected lightweight ash body. In appearance it reminds a lot of the early '80s, with its sienna burst and white knobs/pickup covers. Apparently this model was limited to only 300 pieces available worldwide. This beautiful bass only weighs a pinch above 3,6kg! The bass is in used but good condition. It has some small damages and usermarks, but nothing out of the ordinary. All hardware and electronics work like they should, and the neck is straight. The frets show a bit of wear, but again nothing special. Playability and sound are both great as you would expect from a good USA Fender. The original hardcase is included, which has a damaged corner. Also included is a COA and some other stuff. Lowered asking €1.500 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

Music Man Stingray Classic For sale is my Music Man Stingray classic in coral red finish. You don't see these very often. The basses from this range are based on the original Pre-EB model. As you can see it has a beautiful flamed maple neck. The bass is in very good and clean condition. There are a few small damages, but nothing significant. The neck is straight and allows low action. Frets are still good too. Weight is around 4.6kg Included is the original branded hardcase. Asking €2.200 Tradewise I am interested in a player grade lightweight vintage Fender J or P (up to mid ´60s) or a Modulus 34´´ Quantum or early version Flea. I´ve got more basses that I could offer in a trade deal (Fender, Alembic, Modulus). I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

I'm missing the hole for the strapbutton on the back of the headstock. The price suggests it's a reissue and they are aware of that. They probably mean " '59 type neck". Though it wouldn't be correct with a 40mm nut anyway.

Sound legit, it's Fender 🙂. Parts being dated a few years apart is nothing unusual.

Relisted: Modulus Quantum 4 For sale is this beautiful Modulus Quantum 4 with a nice cherry burst finish and stunning quilted maple top. Preamp and pickups are made by Bartolini. The preamp functions are; volume, pickup selector, mids, bass/treble stacked. Mini switches are for active/passive and mid frequency selection. The preamp output can be controlled by a trimpot. The bass is in very good used condition with a few small damages and usermarks. The scale is 35", which is too much for me. I had this bass for sale before and withdrawn to give the scale another try, but it doesn’t work out for me with my small hands I must have the Dunlop straplocks somewhere, but can’t find them at the moment. So I can’t promise they’ll be included. They are available everywhere though. Fixed price €2450 Tradewise I am interested in a player grade lightweight vintage Fender J or P (up to mid ´60s) or a Modulus 34´´ Quantum or early version Flea. I´ve got more basses that I could offer in a trade deal (Fender, Alembic, Modulus, Music Man). I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

Music Man Stingray 1993 Great Music Man in natural finish. The bass has several usermarks/dents, and 2 damages as pictured. Technical condition is good. All hardware and electronics work like they should, the neck is straight and adjustable. Frets are still good too. Playability is great. Included is a generic softcase. It's a very good bass, but I happen to prefer the ones with lacquered necks. €1.500 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

A JV neck would have a pencil date usually instead of a stamp. To me this looks like an incorrect repro stamp of the type that would be found on old Fenders.

Fender Mustang Bass 1970 For sale is my great vintage ’70 Mustang Bass in a sought after competition red finish with matching headstock. The bass is all original as far as I can tell, and is fitted with an uncommon pinkish pearl pickguard (as sometimes found on instruments from this era). The serial number says it’s from 1970, which seems consistent with the matching headstock. The pots date back to week 51 of 1970. I don’t have a picture of the pickup bottoms; the pickguard is partly stuck to the body, and I don’t want to force things when taking it off. The solder joints are untouched. This bass has been used, and it has small damages and usermarks all around. Nothing serious though, it’s in a very good vintage condition considering the age. All hardware and electronics are functional. Two of the tuners are a bit stiff and might want some lubrication. The neck is straight, adjustable, and the frets are in good condition. I’ve added an angled shim to get the action lower while retaining a good breaking angle. It’s a very comfortable playing bass with a low action. Weight is 3,6kg on my kitchen scales. The bass is fitted with LaBella flats. The best choice for these basses imo, they bring a lot of character. Included is the original "salt ’n pepper" Victoria hardcase. Without any doubt this is the best Mustang Bass I've ever played. Though I have to offer it for sale due to other choices/purchases. It probably will be withdrawn from sale if I manage to sell some other stuff first. Asking €4.950 Partial trade (bass or guitar) is negotiable. Special interest; Modulus 34" quantum or early Flea, 5er with narrow stringspacing. I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk. Upfront payment methods are the only ones accepted; cash on collection, banktransfer or PayPal as a gift.

For sale is my beautiful Modulus Bassstar with Koa body. These are pretty rare. The bass has been used a lot, which shows. The body has a lot of small damages and usermarks.

Asking €1850 I am located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I could ship at buyers risk. No trades.

Sadowsky Metro Express BARGAINS at Thomann!
SurroundedByManatees replied to carlsim's topic in Bass Guitars
I bought the 5-21 hybrid a few weeks back. A green one with the Pao Ferro fretboard. The tag says it has been made in 2021, so it had been in stock for a while. Given the mixed reviews I kinda expected to have some flaws that would need attention. But actually I can´t find any flaws. The bass plays beautifully with a low action, and there are no sharp fret ends to be found. Fit and finish is better than you´ll see on many USA Fenders in my experience. Soundwise it´s great too, I can´t see a reason to change the pickups or preamp. The only thing I need to do is change the stock strings. I play them, but they feel a bit rough. So I´ll probably fit a standard set of d´addarios. All in all I´d say these basses can be a very good deal for a modest price. Edit: the only downside is that the headstock decal is as ugly as F*ck. I´ll keep it like this though, as in 30 years this will be one of the rare ones that doesn´t have the decal sanded off.
