£340 without the new gig bag and D Tuner. £370 with them I’ll withdraw this next week so last few days for you to own this superb bass. Thanks for looking.

Just a heads up that I’ll take close offers to £425 now but I’ll move this on elsewhere at the end of October. A superb instrument. Tap the photos to enlarge and zoom in further on that binding ! Enjoy! Cheers. Quent.

7th fret neck girth 13cm I meant 🤓

Quite right Dirgefornovember! Don’t sell it for less because these Korean made ones are really great basses and , from forums , I’ve read that they do come “close “ to the German made equivalent so any of the short Korean era basses are made superbly. I have a Korean Streamer LX 4 with passive single coil pickups too and they punch as strong as you want. I’ve got this one’s sister or brother with exactly the same Made date ! A red one I got from BDirect so have a bump on me and GLWT. Cheers.

Ha! Thanks Schnozzalee but it’s just point and shoot in good light in our conservatory , or by the front window. An iPhone 7. I do take lots and reject many. If I can do it……. Helps with gorgeous bass of course. You could buy it from me to hone your photographic skills! Cheers. Quent

Hi. Final Price £450 but No Offers as this is a great price for such a bass in prime condition and no play wear . I’ll move this on if no interest during October. A stonking performer that will cover a vast range of tones and this one’s a real looker ( + Matching Headstock, so difficult to find ). USA version acquired this year so I can’t justify keeping this beaut. I have another gorgeous bass for sale here because I couldn’t resist buying the USA made equivalent. An extravagance because the Tribute Series electronics and hardware are the same spec as the US made basses. Anyway, I’ve done it now so this beauty can be yours. I bought it new from Andertons in 2020. S/No 181122060 Made in 2018. Weight 4.36kg 9lbs 8oz. 43mm nut 19mm string spacing at the saddles ( D’Addario nickel plated rounds) These with the matching headstock were only made for a short while and seem a rarity preowned so here’s your chance! There are loads of Youtube demos of G&Ls L2000 so if you are not familiar, check those out. Volume Treble Bass and Leo Fender’s unique electronics means the Bass and Treble work when it’s in Passive mode. 3 switches Passive/Active/Active with high end treble Series/Parallel Pickups selector Bridge,Both, Neck. With all these controls it really is helpful to have the pickup selector. Flipping marvellous! 🤓 Not used a great deal as I have quite a few basses so no signs of wear and all works perfectly. Luscious creamy paint with gloss. Two tiny specks on the body front which simply look like dust. See if you can spot them in the photos. They’ll be joined by the usual dust in the air and really aren’t noticeable. I only spotted them yesterday by being OCD during my inspection! I’ve added two more pics showing the specks location. In the close up, for comparison, there are 3 specks of actual dust above the knob and switches happened to settle as I faffed before taking the shot. The body on this production run was Basswood but feels as solid and sounds like an Alder body. The fingerboards were Brazilian Cherry. Too light for me so I’ve darkened it with Fiebing’s Pro Dye liquid stain ( Dark Brown ) after consulting my usual Pro technician. Fret dot markers protected the pearl dots. I applied some matching cream Jockomo markers which can be removed but I love them. I’ve checked typical preowned prices to pitch mine but this is a rarer finish and in top condition. Upgraded knobs with indicators and upgraded string tree with slots. Having said that. Make me a near offer and we’ll see. I have other basses up for sale only. 3 others. Gave the fretboard an little oil clean today ( it didn’t need it but my paw marks are not on it now). Frets needed their annual polish so the end two photos show that. I’ll double box this to you using the original coffin box inside a large box. Cheers and please ask away if you wish. Quent

Hi. Another drop to £450 before moving this elsewhere. These are wonderful basses so save yourself £150 to £200 on the current price of a new one. ( £648 at Yamahamusiclondon ). I’ll have to settle for my Japanese made BB P34 alone. Poor me ! 😃 I bought this new in May 2020 and was so impressed I decided to “upgrade” to a BB P34 , the Japanese version. I’d like to keep both but after a year with both it’s time to let someone else enjoy this beautiful bass. Made in Aug 2019 S/No: HPO13322 it’s in perfect condition, as it came out of the box. I’ll package in the original coffin box inside a larger guitar box. UK only. Weight 4.15kg , 9lbs 3oz You can read the detail in the link below from Yamaha’s site but the nut is 40mm, 34 inch scale and the strings are 19mm apart at the saddles. I only play at home and take great care of my basses so this really has no signs of wear, no dints or knocks. £475 is the price inc UK delivery so you can save yourself £150 to £200 on the price of a new one because mine has no wear , swirls or blemishes at all. Powerful alnico V pickups and as usual with Yamaha a tone control which gives a great useful range of tones. Controls Vol Vol Tone. Strung through the body with D’Addario EXL 170SL nickel plated roundwounds 45-100 I’ve added two screenshots to the photos below of the Specs and Features from the yamahamusiclondon site. Yamaha link. I can’t seem to copy the link but please search yamahamusiclondon Choose, Guitars then Basses then the BB434 basses are the second group down ( after the 424 and 425s). The photo of the body rear shows reflection of moss debris on our conservatory roof. The dark shapes! It’s all perfect. It has a lovely very dark Rosewood finger board. Cheers. Quent

Here’s a beautiful Cort A5 Artisan Open Pore Black Cherry five string in perfect condition. No Offers thank you. Already great value for a top bass in mint condition. I’ve owned this from new in April 2015 , from Richards Guitars. Absolutely love the bass and the Bartolini MK 1 pickups and MK 1 preamp with EQ off/ on switch - not that I switch it off ! Vol Blend Treb Mid Bass. Through neck 5 piece maple and Panga Panga laminate. Very light and comfortable at 3.95kg , 8lbs 12oz. I replaced the rubber O rings on the control knobs ( they get perished after several years even when kept at home like my bass) I added adhesive fret markers to the lower side of the board which I will remove easily if you wish. The inset abalone ones are top side but I need more guidance on the board. No dinks or dents or scuffs etc. This is totally mint. Superb Hipshot bridge and tuners. I managed to get hold of a flamed maple FMMH one that’s even lighter ! Hence the sale. I like flames. The only difference between this and the Cort variant A5 Plus Flame Maple Mahogany model ( FMMH) is that you get a flamed maple figured body top to the mahogany body. With this one you get an already beautifully characterful maple top to it’s mahogany body. Apart from that they’re the same - except the mahogany on the FMMH is finished in a dark stain compared to mine, which has a more natural colour to the back. 34” scale and the B string plays very well. My newer one has Flats on it vs the D’Addario 45-130 on this one. Both sound wonderful to me. Nut width 45mm String spacing at saddles 18mm Lovely satin finish to the body and neck, satin type finish to the knobs and bridge. Please ask if you need more information. I’ll double box this for UK delivery. Cort Coffin box inside larger box, well protected or if you’d prefer, I have an old road worn hard case I could use instead. It came from California with a bass I bought , so it’s had a right old life I imagine. Cheers. Quent

Thanks MSan94 and greetings from the UK ! Yes, this refinish paint job has been done superbly and looks even better than the photos. Such a unique and desirable bass. I won’t be giving it away cheaply. Standard excellent condition price plus extra for the privilege of the refinish. Cheers. Quent 🤘

Thanks guys. Yes , clearly a one off stunner. Cosmo looks totally stunned in his photo there ! Set Phaser pedals to stun ! or am I mixing up you-know-Who with Mr Kirk ?

Hi everybody. Here it is! I’ve owned this beauty since March 2021 having bought it from Basschatter Gilly. He got it from nord1 who had the gorgeous refinish and luminlay side dots added. It’s stock ( Made September 2010 HQP 063070 ) apart from that ( Perhaps the chrome knobs with numbers too ) it’s stock and does it’s BB powerful pickups versatile monster tone job tremendously with Vol, Tone , Pickup selector switch. The Tone control pot really has a big and full range of useful tones, unlike some. Nickel-Silver nut , strings through body are Rotosound RB45 105-45. Body refinish was expensive so you’re still getting a good deal and a unique bass that will be much admired and coveted. Capturing the precise Mintiness of the body isnt easy it seems but in the photos below the first one and the last two are the closest to the colour. We only live once and I would be selfish to have and to hold ( and play! ) this for any longer. The main reason for selling is that I got a BB614 with an active passive switch. A pity to lose this stunning finish but I need to thin the herd too, so watch out for other basses for sale soonish. (ESP LTD J-1004 up already as you might have seen. Open to offers.) Some of the photos are from previous owners. The white pearl guard didnt do it for me so I had a black one made by Tiny Tone. I’ll include the white one and a UV light torch I bought to power up the cool Luminlay side dots for your dark stage gigs. Hard case shown ( strap not included ). The pickup bobbins had lost their blackness so I’ve used indelible ink to revitalise them. ( Checked with my guitar tech first ).Lovely dark rosewood board on this. Well balanced and 10lbs 9oz , 4.8kg using my accurate digital scales for clarity. With my strap it feels fine. Good luck , don’t fight over it and let your Yamma mates know it’s up please. 👍 Cheers. Quent

Yes Chuck. The John East pre , as you may know, is as powerful or subtle as you want , going way beyond any treble or high end mids for me so there’s something there for anyone’s taste. I know what you mean about the first few frets on some jazzers but this isnt like , say, a Lakland skyline 44-64 PJ. Silly slim. Necks vary don’t they? I know it’s a J-1004 but this one feels deep to me and I have big skinny hands. I just measured with my digital calipers. Nut width 38.8mm, 3rd fret 44mm , 5th 47.5mm, 7th 50.5mm, 12th 57mm which is interesting because the string spacing at the saddles is 19mm, so 57mm from E to G centres. Why not compare the girth of the fret board to one of your basses? At 5th fret this neck is 12.5cm ( piece of non stretch string used ) 7th 13mm and at 12th 14cm, wrapping string tightly around the neck. Thanks for the bump 👍 Quent

Thanks Bigsmoke. It’s a real beauty as well as producing all kinds of wonderful tones with the John East Pre and those Hot Rod dual coil pickups with a 3 way switch each. I’ve had it 4 years and love it but it’s time for someone else to enjoy it ! I see your pic with a Yamma there. I’ll be putting more basses up soon as needs must. Cheers.

Hi everybody. GO ON THEN - Yours for ** £370 ** or £350 without the new Tourtech gig bag or £340 without both gig bag and D Tuner. Last few days of October to snap up this beauty before I move it on to a shop. UK mainland delivery included. New Tourtech padded gigbag and D Tuner. Frets polished and fretboard cleaned this week, not that it really needed it. I bought this 2002 (ESP) LTD DLX J-1004 in June 2020 from Basschatter “Bass Wielder “. He had upgrading modifications done professionally about 5 years ago and it gives a superb variety of tones. It’s exactly 5kg , 11lbs using my accurate scales but is very well balanced and is therefore fine with a wide grippy shoulder strap and when you’re seated it’s reassuringly plonked and stable on your thigh compared to some light weights. A recommendation here by Basschatter Harlequin74 ( July 15 ) who played the bass at The Gallery. ” Just a quick recommend for this bass. Tested it at Bass Gallery when there to pick up another bass. Lovely bass, with fantastic build quality and amazing tonal variation with John East preamp. Looks lovely too. “ Upgraded with 2 pairs of switchable Hot-Rod coils and a John East Uni-Pre. It has a lovely dark rosewood neck with abalone markers and side dots. Ash body with golden Quilted maple top and gorgeous binding containing abalone shards ( looks like that). So a hell of a lot of bass features and top electronics on offer here. Notice the great top edge contouring (photo) with rear scoop and front curve for arm rest comfort. The photos capturing the more golden shades of the body are the nearest to it’s actual shade. See further below for the Eternal Guitars and Hot-Rods detail on the windings and 3 way switches for each pair of coils. Centre position for both coils in series, then left or right for each single coil. Notes by maker Dave Walsh a few paragraphs below. The Modifications. *East UK Uni pre - Active /Passive bass pre-amp that simply is world class. *East UK BLI - battery low indicator tells you when 9v is almost out of power. Easiest to look at the Uni Pre using the John East link below. See 5 knob version. No noticeable change in Vol when pulling / push Passive tone knob ( sits above the line of 4 knobs on my bass). Line of 4 goes Vol Blend Mids/sweep Treb/Bass with pull for extra sizzle. The Treb knob is slightly scratchy when turning it but fine once in position. The passive tone works in active mode too but for me best turned full on for best clarity from the active EQ. *Hot-Rods custom made pickups - Specially made for this bass. It is like having four Jazz style pickups in a two shell package (3 way switchable between each pair of coils). The combination of this and the East UK has turned this instrument into a very versatile beast. From Marcus Miller slap to Jaco jazz to Pino P-bass if you have the skills ! 22 year old bass but only has a few small marks on the thick gloss coated body so they look no worse than a bit of dust on the bass. See arrows on photos. 1/2 inch crack in the gloss only, under the neck pocket, see photo looking under the neck joint. It’s stable so is not an issue. Some pick playing lines on body under strings at playing area. It’s quite a vintage golden colour on the body top. One or two minor scratch marks if you peer very closely and an edge gloss chip on the headstock (tuner-side ) so minor cosmetics only considering the age. Frets look like they’ve had a proper levelling because it plays superbly, no buzz and actually sings when not plugged in. Minimal neck relief, I tightened the truss rod slightly recently and the strings run from 2.0mm to 1.8mm E to G at 12th when fretted at 1st. Room for the saddles to go lower. The saddles are adjustable laterally for string spacing adjustment. Selling to fund other basses purchased. I’ve had my fun with this (ESP)LTD J1004 experimenting for hours with the brilliant John East Uni-Pre, Two 3 way switches and some blending of the pups. It’s endless what you can create. I need to start replacing some basses if I’m to experiment further. A Note copied below on the bass’s modifications , from Dave at Eternal Guitars and (Hot Rod) Pickups. UK to Bass Wielder ( Hope that’s ok BW. All technical ) Unit 8A Littlemead Business Centre, Tangmere Rd, Chichester PO20 2EU, United Kingdom "Hi. Glad that you like the pickups so far! Okay, wiring: they are wound and wired in a similar fashion to a normal humbucking pickup but of course with the exception that each coil is a true Jazz bass pickup. To wire them in series you will need to join the red and green wires together and cover the join with tape or shrink tubing. If you plan to coil split, then the joined red/green will go to your switch. White is live and black is earth. Some details on the pickups: the neck pickup is two Jazz bass pickups wound to vintage specs and placed side by side - both pickups use forbon flatwork and eight magnetised poles. Either could be used individually if desired for a 'true' singlecoil sound or in series (as supplied). The bridge pickup is slightly different - it uses a vintage spec wound Jazz bass pickup nearest to the neck but the coil nearest to the bridge uses identical flatwork and magnets but with a 'hotter' coil wind. When selected on its own this coil will have a thicker and warmer single coil tone than a traditional Jazz bass. I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any help wiring them up... : ) Cheers for now, Dave Walsh Eternal Guitars & Pickups . Chichester.
