The bass is absolutely gorgeous, looking to shift a few basses on here to fund an ultra 5 jazz, hoping this is still here by the time they’ve sold (fat chance hahaha) -
Faulty Jazz bass Neck Pickup/Volume pot

I think my dad has a multimeter in his shed so I'll wait until he's about and see if we've got one in there. Thank you for the advice! -
No, I have only posted this listing on here, too loyal to BC for FB haha -
This is a great bass in great condition. It is really lightweight and has a great warm and punchy tone. Included in this listing are a gig bag, two sets of strings (one Dunlop flats and one Labella Mustang flats), and a few other bits of case candy that came with the bass when I bought it. This bass is almost completely stock but I did add on a hipshot D-tuner as unfortunately one of the original tuners broke soon after I bought it. I did fit the roadworn machine head though in order to maintain the look of the bass. This bass is incredible and plays like a dream but unfortunatlely I am having to whittle down my collection as I no longer play the gigs that I bought this bass for. Collection would be preferred but I am willing to post the bass at the buyers expense, or we can organise to meet within a reasonable distance. Grab yourself a great short scale at a great price! Don't hesitate to ask any questions that you may have! Harry

Hi all! As some of you may know, I am looking to sell a few of my basses that don't get very much use anymore, one of which is my 2023 Vintera 2 Jazz bass. I got this out of its bag today and much to my surprise when I plugged it in I was getting very little output from the neck pickup. At this point, I was quite confused as this bass hadn't left its gig bag in probably 3 months or so. I opened up the control cavity and everything looked as it should. This confused me even more as I had assumed that maybe a wire had come loose but this was not the case. I can only assume that something has gone wrong within the volume pot itself or, worse, the neck pickup has decided to die on me. Does anyone know how I can properly diagnose/fix this issue? I don't really want to buy a new volume pot only to realise that it is the pickup that is broken or vice versa as I am a student so money is a little tight (hence me selling the bass in the first place!). Once I know what the issue is I am obviously happy to spend some money on the necessary repairs so any advice is more than welcome. Thanks, Harry

For Sale: Markbass GV 5 - Surf Green,Good Condition, Killer Tone! I'm parting with my Markbass GV 5 in stunning Surf Green. This bass is in good condition, super comfortable to play, and delivers a punchy, clear tone that's perfect for any style of music. Included in the sale: Original gig bag Details: The Markbass GV 5 is known for its incredible tonal versatility and high-quality craftsmanship. There are a couple of signs of wear that I tried my best to capture in the photos but if you would like any further details of these just let me know! On top of this, unfortunately I have lost a couple of the control knobs on gigs, but if this is a sticking point for you I am happy to discuss fitting some new ones. The Surf Green finish is absolutely gorgeous and really pops, while the maple neck adds a nice bright and snappy feel to the sound and the off-white pearl inlays really are gorgeous. I’m having to downsize my collection as I’m no longer playing the kind of gigs I bought this bass for, so it’s up for grabs. Pricing and Shipping: Collection preferred (but happy to discuss shipping at the buyer’s expense) Can also arrange to meet within a reasonable distance for pickup. This is a fantastic opportunity to grab an incredible bass at a great price! Let me know if you have any questions—I’m happy to provide more info or photos. Thanks, Harry

Hofner 182 short scale bass from 1962. Really sad to be seeing this one go. Incredible and iconic tone and plays beautifully. I’ve owned this one for about 18 months and it’s still in very good condition (considering it’s age) but it’s a bass that has definitely been played. unfortunately the bass is missing it’s headstock decal. This is a very very light instrument, around 7-8lbs if i had to guess which makes it an absolute breeze to play for long periods. collection preferred but i may be happy to meet halfway or post if needed. -
I play with a lot of different artists as well as starting to dabble in pit work and am finding that more and more often that the extra flexibility afforded by a 5 would be very useful, hence the search now. The Sires seem interesting but I think that something with a slightly more modern sound might be more useful for pit work and things like that. Will definitely look at used instruments though!

Hi all, I'm looking at getting a 5er to round out the stable. Ideally I'm looking for something active but beyond that I'm fairly open to anything! I really like the look of the Warwick Rockbass stuff so hopefully that gives you an idea of the vibe I'm going for. I'd like to spend less than £1000. Have at it!

Overall, the bass is great. Excellent factory set up and the rolled fretboard edges are a godsend. I find myself using it in passive mode the majority of the time in my band and then use the preamp as a bass boost for when i need that real kick of lowend. There are unfortunately a couple of QC issues. It seems as though there is with the shielding/grounding of the bass as there is a fair amount of hum for 'noiseless' pickups. As well as this there is a slight issue with the volume pot where the pot itself seems to be loose on the circuit board. These two issues are disappointing on a £1000 instrument but because of how easily fixed they are, I wouldn't let them deter you from taking the plunge if you are interested. In terms of weight, it is by no means light but to me at least there is not too much of a difference between the player plus jazz and my Mexican P bass. unfortunately I don't have any scales to hand for an exact number. It isn't light but its by no means a boat anchor. If you have any more questions dont hesitate to ask!

Annoyingly, it had sold by the time I got the money together to buy it! as its only a small shop this was the last of a batch they had ordered and it would have been a long old time for their next order to arrive.

In the next few days I should be receiving a sparkly new Fender Player Plus 4 string Jazz bass in Olympic pearl and this is my first ever jazz bass (crazy I know!!). I played one a couple of weeks ago in a local music shop and fell in love with the feel and colour of the bass, it played just like butter and its tone was thick and punchy. The active EQ appealed to me as the bass player in a shoegaze/psychedelic indie band (yes shoegaze is still a thing!) as i wanted something with a really broad frequency response. the lack of a passive tone control doesn't bother me either as the passive mode will more or less be a failsafe for me. I was just wondering if anyone had any experiences with these basses or if anyone has found anything to be an issue with the player plus jazz over time?
