Beautiful Overwater fretless bass, custom made for the original owner around 2005. The bass has a stunning quilted maple top and a nice green/blue burst finish. The fretboard is made of ebony. It's an active bass. Pics: There are several cosmetic damages to be found around the bass; dents, scratches, missing paint chips; battle scars. The fretboard shows signs of use but is definitely in very good condition. All hardware and electronics function like they should. The bass plays very well and has plenty of the mwah you want from a decent fretless. An original, high quality Overwater gigbag/softcase is included. It's in reasonable condition with some loose stitching at the front pocket. €1.150 Trades are welcome. Fretted basses, or a cool amp (Ampeg V4 or pf50t, ashdown low watts tube per example), fender American vintage strat... I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk (insured, well packed)

Lovely G&L brochure and pricelist from the early days: €25

Cool old Steinberger ´Magazine´ from the early 80s, which probably functioned as promo material: Great item for any Steinberger connaisseur €30

The lacquer has kind of a creamy and sweetish smell that I recognize from a Fender American original 60s jazz. Any chance there is nitro involved here? And does anyone know an simple way to check?

Down to €1.300. I would also be interested to trade for a Fender avri 63 precision, Stingray or Sabre classic, or partial trade of better Squier stuff per example.

I'm not an expert on woods. But from what I've read, the straight vertical grains on the back of the neck could suggest it is quarter sawn indeed.

G&L JB Fullerton Cool high quality Jazz Bass from G&L, made in the USA. Its a very classy appearance with its metallic red (I'd say it's pretty much candy apple red) body finish and matching headstock. The build quality is as you'd expect from an expensive USA G&L. The bass feels good and sounds like a good jazz bass should. Pictures: The bass is in a very good condition. It has a few small usermarks, but has an overall fresh appearance. All electronics and hardware work like they should. The weight is very moderate for a jazz at 4,3 kilo's. The original heavy quality G&G tolex case in included. Asking €1.450 I am located in the Netherlands, but registered shipping is possible at buyers risk. Tradewise I am interested in (old, avri) offset Fender guitars like Jaguar, Mustang, Duo Sonic...

I've played it this morning and doubt bounced in. My advice to myself is not to sell when in doubt :). I've received some very serious offers though.

Withdrawn, I can't sell it.

These just sound like a good stingray. If I recall right they should have the same 2eq as the Music Man classic range. Glwts

Fender Telecaster Deluxe Nice limited edition Tele deluxe in silverburst with an ebony fretboard: The guitar is in good condition. It has a damage to the lacquer on the back of the lower horn, otherwise it just has small usermarks. The frets are in very good condition. Its a beautiful guitar that plays and sounds just great as you may expect from a higher end Fender. The original case, certificate, tools, straplocks and other paperwork are included. Asking €1.350 The guitar is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

Fender 1971 Mustang Bass Great vintage Fender Mustang bass in a most wanted competition blue finish. As usual with this finish, it has changed to a deep greenish shade. The bass appears to be all original. The serial number, neck and pots date to 1971. The pickups have some unusual codes (I think); 73 2. Not sure if this would mean 1973. There is a weeknumber noted down on the hanging tag; 241, which seems likely to mean to this bass had its check up before leaving the factory in the 24th week of 1971. Under the pickguard you can see the routing has not been altered in the past. It also shows the amount of discoloration very well. This is a 50 year old instrument that has been used. It has a lot of dents, scratches, usermarks, finish checking all over... No structural damages though; it´s just a characterful, genuinly roadworn vintage bass. The frets show a good amount of wear, but it's not any problem to play comfortably with a low action (it's fitted with flats now). A few of the bridge saddle screws don´t seem to move (didnt try to hard as they are set just right), which is probably an easy fix with some oil. It's a light bass; my kitchen scale says it's 3,25 kilos. Its a very easy playing instrument with a very enjoyable sound. It's strung with labella Mustang flats, but it goes nicely with more modern sounding flats too! I managed to find an original Victoria "salt n pepper" case, which will be included in the sale. The case misses the middle latch, but otherwise feels steady and closes well. Asking €3.250 The bass is located in the Netherlands, but can be shipped at buyers risk. Tradewise I am interested in a vintage Fender jazz bass (66 with the dots ideally, refin is ok), or vintage offset Fender guitars like jaguar, duo sonic ll or jazzmaster. I've got other stuff to add in a trade if something really good is being offered.
