UPDATE 12/12/23 - SD P/Ups found and added + strings changed Putting my long time back-up bass out to pasture as it's not getting used - and I want some new cabs! 2014 Fender Nate Mendel P Bass - Mexican made. Purchased by me new in 2014 from GuitarGuitar. It's more worn now than it was originally and I've made various alterations over the years - you may love it or hate it!! Candy Apple Red, ash body, maple neck, rosewood board on a very slim 'C' neck profile - more like a Jazz bass than a P in my opinion. Full deets in the images from Fenders Serial Check site. It's completely rewired with CTS pots, Sprague orange drop cap, Switchcraft jack and Formvar wire (had a static buzz/hum from original so started again!) Had the frets dressed as they weren't great from stock (Fender, huh? 🤷‍♂️) Swapped the Seymour Duncan QuarterPounders (didn't like them) for stock Lindy Fralins (which I love). I still have the SD's somewhere (UPDATE 12/12/23 - FOUND 'EM!!) and if I can find them will include them in the sale - but no promises. It now sounds like an old school P Bass rather than the 'hot rock' P it was originally intended to be. Added Hipshot Lightweight Tuners to combat the neck dive - it's quite a light instrument body so all that iron on the headstock wasn't helping the balance. Now it's sits perfectly, although the headstock looks a bit scruffy because of the old holes - but that doesn't bother me (in fact I quite like the aesthetic) 🙂 Weight now is 3.59kg / 7lb 14oz so is relatively light. For comparison my USA P Bass is 4.3kg / 9lb 4oz It plays really well, is super light and has a great classic P tone. Comes with the Fender branded soft case, all the documents it came with, the Foo Fighters neck plate (never fitted), thumb rest (third party) plus all the old tuners, screws and ferrules should you want the old look/weight back. Also included is an alternate Tort pick guard I got from WD Music. Currently strung with flats - D'Addario Chromes. Body condition - as I stated above, it's had a few bumps along the way - not too horrible but certainly more than the factory relic it came with. I added a thumb rest years ago (included) and you can see the screw marks on the body front. I've also sanded the neck down, as is my bent, because I found the lacquer finish too grippy. I'm looking for £750 for this bass which I think is fair considering these are currently retailing new at around £1,300. Not looking to trade. Collection is preferred from Tunbridge Wells (where you can try before you buy) or meet up within reason. I hate shipping guitars but would consider at buyers risk and cost. I'd estimate that fully insured next day service with a reputable courier is about £50. Thanks for looking 🙂

It's one of the original ones with the larger case lip around the input/output sockets.

Yes it has the original rubber strings. I've never restrung it but I believe you pass the string into the body and tie a knot. Probably a bit fiddly, hence the introduction of the mag plate on the newer models.

Hi Andy. This is a U-Bass. It's an earlier model (2016) but basically it's one of these: https://www.thomann.de/gb/kala_u_bass_rumbler_mahogany_509895.htm This is a shot of the label inside the bass.

Thanks man 🙂 It is a great player. I played it again last week for the first time in a long time and almost withdrew it from sale! I know however it would only get a little love then go back into its' case for another 4 years, so probably better in the hands of someone who'll actually play it!

Hi, yes still available. PM me to discuss. Thanks

Have adopted a new approach on my pedalboard so now selling my QMX-8 loop switcher. Includes the fitting kit to attach to a PedalTrain style pedalboard. I had this on an old PedalTrain 1 and it fitted brilliantly. Pic below for reference only - just the QMX is included in this sale!! Has some adhesive residue on the front panel from where I had Dymo labels attached, but I'm sure would clean off with suitable solvent, etc. Powered by std 9v supply from your pedalboard PSU or similar. These currently retailing at £279.00 from thegigrig.com Asking £150.00 delivered in the UK Details below from the manufacturers website: Simple loop switching for your pedals Great for compact pedalboards High-quality true bypass strip loop control for your effects pedals. Compact easy switching solution to keep your tone intact. TheGigRig QMX has all the same great features as the standard QuarterMaster including; Uses TheGigRig 'True Bypass' relay technology keeping your tone perfectly intact and your switching quiet. Tough aluminum enclosure and small footprint will keep your pedalboard light and compact Uses the new GigRig 'OptoKick' Optical Foot switch which we believe is the most reliable foot switch in the world. PLUS, the QMX has a very clever ace up its sleeve… Each loop has a push button next to the loop return that gives you the option to turn a standard loop into a flip/flop loop. Instantly switch between any selected loops while adding other loops on top. Its great if there are effects on your board that you never stack like multiple delays, or drive units. By using the QMX returns as instrument inputs you can easily and quietly switch between your favourite guitars QMX8 - 9v/400mA / 54cm x 4cm x 5.8cm / 21.26in x 1.57in x 2.28in / 0.80kg / 1.8lbs Also, check out my other listing in Accessories for all the patch cables that I had on this unit.

*Update 21/06/23 - Previously advertised as Evidence Audio but my mistake, they're actually Diago cables. Apologies. Description and price altered to reflect. *Update 17/12/23 - Price drop to £60 delivered to the UK I've stripped down my old pedalboard and have a load of Lava Cables - premade and uncut - and a set of Diago cables that need to go. LAVA - 13 pre cut cables in various lengths (ruler for ref) plus 6 more unused jacks (32 jacks total) and loads of unused cable + stripping tool. Essentially around 2 std Lava Cable kits plus extra jacks. Not all tested but can be easily reset if joint turns out to be 'iffy'. The kits retail at £63 (10 plugs + cable) and the extra plugs retail around £5 each so this is approx £200 - 250 of Lava Cables. *Diago Patch Factory - 3 short pre cut cables (not tested) + 2 more unused plugs + remainder of the cable + stripping tool (PF01 kit retailing at £69.99 from Hot Rox UK) Asking £90 £60 all in posted to UK Thanks for looking 🙂
