Will check tonight, I think 44mm. Katwijk, zuid Holland (near Leiden). Edit: it's 42 mm

Squier Bullet Bass '84 Pretty scarce bullet bass from the highly regarded SQ series. This is the Japanese version with the mustang style pickup: This longscale bullet bass plays great. It has a very nice neck that plays great with a low action. The sound is in the ball park of a precision bass, but somewhat more mid orientated in comparison to my former fender P. For its age, the bass looks great. It has a few dings and a lot of fine surface scratching, but nothing serious. It actually looks pretty good. The pickup was not working when I got it, so I had one coil rewound. As you can see there are 2 holes where a thumbrest had been mounted in the past. This bullet plays and sounds great. Unplugged you feel that it resonates nicely. It is a pretty light bass, weighing in at 3,8kg on my kitchen scale. I'm sure I will regret the sale at one point, but I just don't take it out much due to other preferences when playing with the band. Price: €550 (which is about £485 nowadays) The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship within the Europe/UK at buyers expense and risk. Costs will be from around €35 and up, depending on insurance.

So the seller sent you an other bass than you bought??

That's seriously bad man...

I'm from the Netherlands and found it difficult too to find an expeditor that takes larger size parcels (like a bass in a case). I used to ship through UPS, but they changed their sizes recently. Recently I got a bass shipped from the UK that I bought here on bc, using eurosender. All went great at a good price and full insurance. Last time when I had to ship a bass myself, GLS appeared to be usable but have various price restrictions mentioned on their web pages. So I went to the parcel shop to hear they couldn't take it... So I checked eurosender if they also arrange shipping from the Netherlands. And they do! It is possible to ship a bass from about 35 euro's on, depending on the height of the insurance. That's cheap imo. Eurosender is a company that uses various delivery companies for their business. My parcel went with dpd (can't book large size parcels with them as a private customer) . It was very easy to book the parcel and plan the pickup. All went smooth, their information is complete and clear, and the parcel was delivered in a few days. From my 2 experiences, I would recommend them. Beside all the plus points I already mentioned, they are about 50% cheaper than when I had to use UPS, and they have more options for insurance.

This one had been withdrawn, but is now up for sale again! Lovely vintage '78 Yamaha BB1000 This bass dates from 1978 according to the serial number. Of course this '78 BB looks great with its natural finish and black pickguard. It has a nice (presumably) macassar ebony fretboard and classy inlays. This bass plays and sounds just great. It has a fat neck profile which will not be anyone's taste, though it's lovely if you like it. In its 40 years of existence, this BB has been well used. There are a lot of user marks to be found. It has some fretwear, but the neck can be played with low action. Technically the bass is all fine, the neck is straight and well adjustable. As you can see from the pictures, the screw on the E tuner is not original. It's now fitted with rotosound rounds. The original hardcase is included in the sale. I bought this bass not too long ago from another BC member, as a bit of an impulsive purchase because it looks so damn fine. This really is a great bass, but I do not actually need it. Price €675 The bass is located in the Netherlands. I am happy to ship within Europe/UK at buyers risk and expense. Costs will be from €35 on, depending on location and insurance.

Thank you Benoit! Its definitely one of the cooler 'other fenders'. The necks on these are great!

Bump 😃

Tnx. Just trying to photograph everything with my smartphone that a potential buyer needs to know

Fender Precision Special 1982 Lovely '82 Precision Special, made in the USA. This is a more versatile version of the traditional P bass, with an added 2eq preamp. In passive mode, the special works just like any other precision. Though in active mode, this bass can add something special by tweaking the high and low frequencies. The neck has a wide 44mm profile and feels great imo. This Fender is almost 40 years old, so it has gathered its lacquer damages from use throughout the years. The candy apple red lacquer also has gotten matte, which is not unusual for car finishes from this era. Technically the bass is all good functioning with a straight and adjustable neck and electronics that work like they should. The center position of the bass eq knob doesn't feel very clear, though this should be fixable by tightening the back of the pot (so I was told). Its fully functional though. It is a great playing and great sounding Precision, which will be suitable for many styles. The bass has been set up with fresh Sadowsky 45-105 stainless strings. The original hardcase is included. It is missing one latch, but is fine otherwise. Asking price: €1.850 The bass is located in the Netherlands, but can be shipped within Europe/UK at buyers risk/costs. Shipping rates can go from €35 and up, depending on the insured amount. I will listen to partial trade offers! A good Stingray (preferably early 90s w lacquered neck) may have my special attention. Further you may feel free to tempt me.

Neuser Courage 5 Here we have a beautiful Neuser bass, handmade in Slovakia. I´ve got this through a trade 2 months ago, but happen not to use/need it as I mostly play my 4 string oldies. The specs (copy/paste from previous owner): Specs: * Neuser Courage 5 string * Alder Body wings * Spalted Maple top * Carmelburst Colour with Gloss Finish * Ebony fretboard * Neck thru * 7 piece maple neck with mahogany stringers * 34" Scale. * John East J-Retro Preamp * Neuser Pickups * Neuser Custom Bridge * 18mm string spacing This is a really great sounding and easy playing 5-string. It just plays great with a low action. There is a J retro preamp installed, the mini toggle is from the previous preamp and is currently not connected. The Neuser has a lot of dents/bucklerash/usermarks, but that is all just cosmetic. Everything works like it should and the bass is in great shape technically. I love how the bass plays and sounds, but won´t use it in my band due to other needs and preferences. So I´m curious if I will get a cool trade offer for this beauty. Asking price/trade value: 1.250 euros The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship with europe/UK. Costs will be around 45 euros with insurance. (Partial) trades are welcome. Per example; musicman Sabre (lacquered neck early 90s preferred), tube head (like fender bassman, music Man, ampeg), Rcknbckr, Fender avri, cool fretless like blade B4 or Gibson ripper, EHX q balls, electric guitars, gibson ripper case..

On hold

It's a very versatile bass. Sounds great with either flats or rounds. I also think the price is unbeatable. I've set it low for a quick sale, but surprisingly it's still here.

I think this one is just below 10lbs. I remember it weighing in at 4,5 kg... But I should reweigh to be sure. Actually I initially thought it was around 4 kg, when coming from my 5 kg fenders😁

Front switch = pickup selector Rear switch = active/passive Top row: volume, master tone, gain (to control overall volume from the preamp) Bottom row: bass, mid, treble (or reverse)

Ibanez Musician MC924 Great vintage Ibanez top of the line model from 1980. It has passive and active electronics and has therefore a wide range of sounds. It plays good with medium low action (doesnt get as low as my Gibson, but it will be fine for most of us). Its a pretty bass with its nicely selected grained woods which show through the transparant lacquer. The fretboard is made of ebony The bass has a lot of battle scars and a crack in the lacquer at the controls. Ive had the frets leveled about half a year ago, so they are in great shape. All electronics work like they should, though a pot or 2 may benefit from a little drop of cleaning spray. Ive had the bass set up with Fender 45-100 flats at the moment. A cheap but clean hardcase is included in the sale. Fixed price now 550 Euros. I am willing to ship within europe/uk at buyers risk and expense. Rates may vary from 45-75 euros based on destination and shipping options. I know people will contact me that they ship basses from their country within europe for less, but I have only one shipping option that I know of (UPS) that takes this size parcels. PS: This bass had been listed previously (at a higher price point), but I withdrawn it because of doubts. Now really something has to go

Best color scheme for a stingray imo

Withdrawn because of lack of interest. I'll be setting it up as my flatwounds bass now

Great pedal from EHX Its in good shape (I've bought it new and have barely used it since) and all working of course. The specific type of adaptor that is needed for this pedal is included (European plug). Price: €150 Shipping within the EU/UK is included in the price.
