SOLD Final price drop to £450 delivered before this hits eBay Price drop, now £475 delivered (extra discount for local collection) Fender American Professional Jazz Bass Maple Neck 2018 USA (Fully Loaded with Fender lightweight tuners) Purchased just this week from here, installed on my P bass for just a few minutes. Always been curious to try the P bass / J neck thing, but my left hand was cramping up and I don’t feel I can adjust to the slim nut. Oh well, back to my Player P neck which is great anyway. Lesson learned = if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! This was originally fitted to a Fender American Professional Jazz Bass, but it is in "as new" condition, it looks like it was removed without ever being played. It can be seen and inspected at my home in Southport. Will fit on a Fender Jazz or Precision that takes a standard 4 screw bolt-on neck (no screws or neck plate included in this sale). Postage to mainland UK address included. Will be sent well wrapped & boxed.

SOLD Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter Pounder P Bass Pickups. Boxed, with instructions, foam & screws Came to me in a P bass in which I’ve installed Fender CS62s instead, so these are no longer needed. Pretty hot, high output modern sounding pickup. £50 delivered.

Loving the Big Black sleeve. Never seen one of these before. GLWTS

For sale is a passive EMG GZR PJ HZ pickup set. Boxed with detailed installation instructions, all wiring, connectors, pots, jack, screws, etc. As per the photos, note that both the P & J pickups have had the black plastic tabs removed, this was done in readiness for use in a different pre-wired loom. TBH I got tangled up in knots trying to figure it all out (think I bit off more than I could chew), in the end gave up & have since sold my PJ basses so have no use for this set now. Said tabs are present, but like I said they have been cut away from the pickup wires. No control knobs included with the set. This set would suit someone who is good at soldering and/or is confident they are able to install the pickups into their bass somehow, given the photos & description of the tab-less pickup wires. I’m a little sad that I never got to try these out, but such is life. £85 delivered, please PM me if interested, thanks.

This is gorgeous. Amazed it’s still here. GLWTS

SOLD For sale (no trade offers please) is a Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Precision PJ bass from 2013 in lovely Candy Apple Red with rosewood fingerboard. Comes in Fender shaped hard case. Long scale, right handed. This is a really great bass that punches above its price point. It has a normal precision nut width of 1.625 inches, but a slim and very playable front to back thickness, measured with digital calipers as just 0.792 inches at the 1st fret and 0.918 inches at the 12th fret (neck profile near identical to the American Specials that were known for their slim necks). Bought from another Basschatter, as a kind of stopgap bass whilst waiting for something else to come up. That is now here, so I need to let this one go. Excellent used condition, a few minor marks consistent with age and normal use - mainly some small marks near the jack as shown, and a tiny lacquer chip on back of headstock. No dings or chunks missing, and no marks visible from playing position. Solid agathis body, amber-tinted lacquered maple neck, with rosewood fingerboard, lemon oiled on recent string change. Strung with GHS Boomer nickel roundwounds 45-105, loads of life left in them. Gloss headstock with 70s style decals. 3-ply BWB plate with usual scratching on it. Bass weighs an insanely light 3.2Kg (7.2lbs) on my digital luggage scales and certainly feels like it. Easily the lightest and most comfy to play P bass I've ever tried. Stock open gear tuners, Hi-Mass bridge, & Fender Designed Alnico P pickup and DiMarzio style jazz pickup. I had a KiOgon VBT (Volume - Blend - Tone) wiring loom installed, with Switchcraft thru-body side jack. I put a set of black plastic jazz knobs on, just really to give a point of reference for the blend pot, even though it has a centre indent anyway. I will also include the stock push-on domed knobs. There are some great tones to be had when sweeping the blend knob. The wiring loom has solderless screw terminals, so if you like to tinker, it would be easy enough to change pickups. One thing I have to mention is the gorgeous Candy Apple Red finish. It's really hard to capture this on photos, but in person it looks killer, and has a lovely copper / burnt orange tint to it that you can only really appreciate in person. The case is a quality, well padded Fender shaped hard case. It is a little beat up but still rock solid. The latches all work and there is an under neck tab pull pocket. The keys are present but I just tried and it seems the lock doesn't work as it's just spinning round. Could be fixable, I don't know, I've never tried to lock it in all the years I've had it anyway. It's a great case anyway and lighter than the newer style Fender ones. Price includes postage to mainland UK address. Collection possible from Southport, or meet-up in North West within reason. I will knock 30 quid off the price if anyone collects. Otherwise, postage is for Parcelforce 24 hour next day, fully protected, trackable delivery (live tracking possible on the day). I should be able to ship within 1 working day of payment being received. Feel free to check my Basschat feedback and please PM if interested, or wanting more photos. It really is a great bass for the money, you'd be hard pushed to find a lighter, more comfy P bass without paying silly money for something custom! NO TRADE OFFERS WHATSOEVER PLEASE. I don't need any more basses, just some money and space back.

£15 posted D’Addario EXL160S Short Scale nickel roundwound medium gauge 50-105 strings. I bought these for a Mustang, not realising that you need medium scale strings for a string thru bridge short scale bass until I’d put them on. After which I barely touched them until the medium scale strings I should’ve ordered to begin with arrived a few days later. So, they were cut for a string thru Mustang but tapered before the nut, so I guess they should fit any non string thru bridge short scale bass. If you’re unsure, please try and find out or contact me. I’ve never sold strings before but they cost £24 new (same seller has them at £29 now just weeks after) so it seems silly to bin them if they can be of use to someone.
