[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1423409280' post='2684421'] No worries, I have a bunch of pedals for sale, an Ashdown amp and a Novation XioSynth......I imagine none of that piques your interest haha (although let me know if it does) GLWTS though, lovely looking bass! Si [/quote] Thanks for the offer Si, but don't really need an amp or pedals at the mo & already have a XioSynth! Cheers B.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1423393175' post='2684182'] Looks great! Looking for any trades at all? Si [/quote] I wasn't really considering any trades, but I'm always on the look out for short / medium scale basses

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1423228676' post='2682488'] That's beautiful. Lovely craftsmanship from two of the NE's finest. Jon. [/quote] Thanks Jon! It's a beautiful instrument & my phone photos don't really do it justice. The neck's gorgeous, with a really comfy profile - midway between Precision & Jazz at the nut. Probably going to miss this one when it's gone...

Bump for price drop

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1422969987' post='2678956'] That's such a cool looking bass! GLWTS [/quote] Cheers! I've had a query on weight & our old bathroom scales are showing it to be less than 8lb. Action's pretty comfy with flats too...

Bump - open to offers for a cash & collection deal...

Hi - I'm a bit reluctant to do this, but I'm just not playing as much as I'd like & this thing deserves to be more than just furniture! It was put together by the Bass Doc for me a few years ago. The late Jim Cairnes was a luthier based in the North East who was best known for souping up Chris Rea's guitars, but he also worked with the Bass Doc to make some beautiful basses. A while back I started playing shorter scale instruments as I found them a bit easier on the left hand. I was speaking to the Bass Doc about this & he said he had a 32" scale neck made by Jim going spare, so we decided to build an instrument around it. It turned out pretty good! [attachment=182367:IMG_20140913_141953831.jpg] [attachment=182368:IMG_20140913_142002556.jpg] [attachment=182369:IMG_20140913_142008912.jpg] [attachment=182370:IMG_20140913_142019250.jpg] [attachment=182371:IMG_20140913_142025535.jpg] It's currently strung with Status flats & sounds great. Specs are: - 32" scale birdseye / rosewood neck Tulipwood body Fender machine heads ABM bridge Dimarzio model J bridge pickup Dimarzio model P copy from a Westone neck pickup (I had a real model P in there for a while, but prefered this one) I posted a thread on it in Gear Porn before I upgraded the pickups - you can see it [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/150814-bass-doc-electric-iv/"]here[/url]. It's only seen home use & condition's pretty good - there's a small ding to the headstock, but it was touched up. Ideally I'd like to do a cash / collection deal for £250. I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Cheers, B.

Looks lovely - a beaten-up one of these was my first bass & it sounded great! Bought three basses from 2x18 over the years & he has some great instruments that have been well cared for. Good luck with the sale...

Now sold - cheers!

Bump for price drop!

Hi - bought this pickup a while ago for a project, but never really used it. It's a US-manafactured EB-60 blade Precision pickup in cream that I imported it from the USA. Used it briefly & it's a really strong pickup with a load of volume & presence. There's a really good review at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/1416-bill-lawrence-hi-output-eb-60-p-bass-pick-up/"]http://basschat.co.u...p-bass-pick-up/[/url] It's practically new condition, still boxed & was only fitted to a bass used at home. Only took it out as I wanted a more old-school tone. This would be great for a rock player - Precision on steroids!!!!! It cost me over £50 with customs charges, but I'm selling for £25 posted. If you're near Newcastle upon Tyne then we could sort out a meet up... Pic: - [attachment=176502:IMG_20141102_133151419.jpg] Cheers, B.

Thanks for the interest - both pickups are now sold Cheers, B.

A 'had some interest, but nothing finalised yet' bump!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1412411555' post='2568653'] This is a bargain. The P pups alone are £64 new. [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/hot-p-bass-pickup-enclosed-cover-2248-p.asp"]http://www.wdmusic.c...over-2248-p.asp[/url] [/quote] Cheers - they're really good pickups for the money so this is a bargain for someone!

Hi ROBR - the P & J pickups are both still available. Cheers, B.

Thanks all - this is now sold. Cheers, B.

Local deal didn't happen, so I'm putting them back up & I'll be happy with £25 posted!
