Hi - putting my Peavey Fury up for sale that I bought on here a while ago. If you don't know the Fury it's basically a Precision with a really comfy Jazz-width neck & a nice hot pickup. It's in pretty good condition - could do with a set up & there's a hairline crack near the jack, which was there when I bought it. Really nice bass - selling it as I only really play short scale basses these days. Looking for £160 cash & collected from Newcastle. Would consider a trade with cash either way for a short scale bass. Cheers!

Hi - reluctantly selling my beautiful medium (32") scale white Aerodyne Jazz Bass. Imported it myself from Ishibashi a while ago & it's a Crafted In Japan non-export model, so a bit rare over here. It's basically everything you'd expect from a Japanese Fender, but slightly downsized. Like other Aerodynes, it has a basswood body with a curved / bound top, maple / rosewood neck & came as standard with a pair of Dimarzio pickups, which look a lot like Ultra Jazzes. Currently strung with D'Addario nickel rounds. I think this one was an ex-demo model, as it arrived with a Fender gigbag & the manual (in Japanese!). It hasn't seen much wear & the only significant ding is on the bottom of the bass (see pictures), which was there when I bought it.

Cheers, B.

The bass is now sold - cheers! B.

No objections at all, Davy. This is a great bass & light as a feather. Good luck with the sale! Cheers, B.

Bump!

Bump for price drop & new pics. Restrung it with D'Addario nickel rounds & given it a set up too - sounding & playing great!

Hi - my Westone Concord I is up for sale. It's around 30 years old & if you've never heard of them, they were made in the Matsomoku factory in Japan alongside Arias & Washburns at the time. The Concord was a budget model, but was made of decent materials - the body is alder & the medium scale (32.5") neck is two piece maple with a beautiful flame in it. Pickup is a Dimarzio-style Precision & is pretty powerful! Since I had it I swapped out the bridge for a Gotoh copy, had a black scratchplate made & had the headstock painted for a custom decal that I never applied. Just restrung it with D'Addario nickel rounds & given it a set up. Reluctant sale, but it's not being used & deserves to be played...

Now sold - cheers! B.

[quote name='Davy' timestamp='1426962489' post='2724161'] Excuse my ignorance but does medium scale mean that it's shorter than something like a jazz or a precision? [/quote] Yes - it's 32.5" scale rather than the Fender 34" standard (short scale usually means around 30"). I discovered medium scales a while ago & that's all I play now - I find them much more comfy on the left hand. If you want a rough idea of what a medium scale is like, tune a standard bass a semitone down & put a capo on the first fret. Everything's just that bit easier to reach!

Bump for price drop...

Bump - could now do this with a Fender gig bag for the same price. Here's a vid of the full-size version being reviewed by Ed Friedland: - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47tKorh9vgo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47tKorh9vgo[/url]

Bump - here's a review with a bit of info too. http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/guitars/yamaha-rbx4-a2m-bass-197674

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1424379002' post='2695775'] Sorry you didn't get on with it B - fine little bass and I had quite a bit of interest in it so it shouldn't hang around for too long. For anyone considering this bass Benebass is great to do business with. [/quote] Thanks for the kind words Mykesbass - much appreciated!

Hi - my white Yamaha RBX4A2M with a rare medium scale (32.5") neck is up for sale. I'd describe it as a modern take on a Jazz & it's it's incredibly light compared to most other basses I've had. The bass is completely passive, but takes a battery for the light-up controls if that's your thing (leave the battery out & it works fine with no lights). Condition is very good - a couple of minor dings on the back, but everything else is fine. Really nice low action & punchy sound too - the shorter neck makes playing a breeze & it doesn't have that loss of tone that some shorter scales suffer from. I'm looking for £180 cash / collected in Newcastle upon Tyne. Will ship for £200 but will have to take the neck off to do it as there's no hard case (that's how it was sent to me & it was no problem - just needed to screw the neck on & restring).

This bass is now sold - cheers! B.
