The most almost sold bass ever is still available! Please note the price of €450 is fixed and doesn't include shipping or any extras. Cheers

Because it's cursed!

Price lowered to €1.350 (which should be around £1.150).

Pedalboard now sold. Pedals still available.

Music Man HD-150 Cool old Music Man amp. It's not the nicest one cosmetically, but it has just been serviced in August. A few components (resistors) were changed and it got a fresh set of matching tubes. Since then it had about 20 playing hours or so. The amp works like it should and sounds great. I used it with my bass with the channels bridged for more tonal control. I really like this amp, but I've also purchased a Bassman 135 two months back... And I decided that I like the bassman just a little better. I'm not a hoarder, so the Music Man amp may leave the house. Now €500 The amp is located in the Netherlands, but could be shipped at buyers risk and expense.

I'm prepared to sell seperately. But please note I'm from the Netherlands, so shippingcosts are higher than inland shipping. This probably makes it unattractive to purchase a single item.

Few pedals: All pedals are in great working condition. All except the Maxon have been purchased new by me and have barely or never left the house. They are basically in like new condition. The eden pedals both come with a European power supply. I'm asking €200 for all pedals together. If interested, I also have a few sets of strings left that could be sold along (maybe this is interesting because no extra shippingcosts need to be charged). All sets are new. Asking prices for the GHS sets are €25 each, the Fenders €12,50 and the Rotosound €10

Bump with added trade options

What a nice looking bass. It's natural refinish has a nice balance in color with the pickguard and chrome covers. It probably plays and sounds awesome.. If only blabla.... GLWTS!

On hold

I think 44mm is standard for these basses, but haven't measured it yet. Did some measuring; it's 42mm

Fender Japan 51 precision Great Japanese Fender reissue single coil precision bass. It's a great playing and sounding bass. The butterscotch finish is semi-transparant, so the nice woodgrain is shown. The bass is in good and fresh used condition without any significant damages. Build quality/fit/finish is very good, as is mostly the case with Japanese Fenders (ime). The neck is straight, and all hardware and electronics work like they should. The reverse tuners appear to have changed with regular turning original Fender mechanics. New fender nps 45-105 strings have been fitted last week. My kitchen scale says this P weighs 4,3 kilo's. Price is firm: €750 (approx £635) A simple gig bag is included, but I also have a few spare cases that could be sold along. The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship within europe/UK. Costs vary between 35-65 euro's, depending on packing method (neck removed from the body, or not), destination and a mount of insurance.

Nope, but thanks for the offer.

Thank you all! The Ripper indeed has a distinctive voice of its own. I like the grit with the mid control at 10, but it can sound a lot more modest too. And no, this Gibson does not sound muddy at all :).

Gibson Ripper 1978 Lovely old Gibson Ripper. This is just a great playing and sounding bass.... The bass is in great shape for its age. Of course it has earned its signs of use, but no structural damage. All hardware and electronics are working well. The trussrod is fine, and the neck straight. The out of phase position has been rewired to neck pickup solo, but can be easily reversed if you wish so. Some pictures: The Ripper has been set up with a low action, so it's playing nice and easy (at least in my hands). It has been fitted with DR fat beams which sound great on this bass. It's not a light bass, as it weighs around 5kg. The original hardcase is included. It's handle is missing, and the other hardware is rusty. It's still okay for storing. The bridge cover and strapbuttons are also included. It's a tough choice but I need some stuff to go. Asking: €1.450 (approx £1.210) Tradewise I'd be especially interested in an old competition mustang bass (with matching headstock). Some other examples of what would be of my interest: Musicmaster bass, unlined fretless (blade, fender Japan, 70s Fender P), cool old Japanese copies, Yamaha superbass, Ibanez black eagle, Squier SQ precision, esp navigator PJ, modulus flea, avri 63 precision, Stingray with lacquered neck (ideally honeyburst, 2eq) like early 90s... I've got more stuff to add in a trade if needed :). The bass is located in the Netherlands, but could be shipped insured within europe/UK.

Those basses sound great as a fretless.... And as a fretted too of course. 🙂

😁

Thanks Gary! IIRC, the ripper I own also once belonged to you🙂

If you like Fenders, you'll probably like the sounds of a G3 too

Nevermind, I shouldn't sell it
