I have traded a few basses into Bassbros and the deals have always been spot on, Will is a great host and very knowledgeable. I visited earlier this week and picked up my dream bass. The hospitality and service could not have been any better.

They are lovely instruments, I don’t think you will be disappointed if you take the plunge. -

Having been a short scale ‘fan’ from afar without having played many, I recently made the leap after experiencing an unhealthy obsession with upright bass. Just to be clear I wanted to obtain as close a tone to an upright to my ears without having to resort to buying one, which would have proved to be highly impractical. The bass I chose was a Duesenberg Alliance Dave Landreth Model, which I liked both aesthetically and tonally after I swapped out the stock round wound strings for some Pyramid flats. In the lower registers it sounds close to spot on for my reference at least, although it becomes a little less woody on the G string, something which can be tamed by using the tone control. To date I am really enjoying the experience of owning and playing this instrument, everything about it screams quality, it’s built exceptionally well, sounds and looks stunning (even the case is a thing of beauty), it’s also light and very comfy to get around on. They are not exactly commonplace, but that said they are played by some well known musicians, Dave Landreth, Curt Smith, Rob Mullarkey, Dave Bronze and Chris Chaney for example. -

This sale concerns the third of my basses, a Sandberg VT4 which was purchased earlier this year. During my brief period of ownership the bass has been stored in a temperature controlled environment at home and is in excellent as new condition. This bass plays beautifully and has recently had new Elixir 45-105 strings fitted, it’s also exceptionally light and weighs around 7lbs 12 oz. It comes with the Sandberg hang tag/instruction booklet and a high quality Sandberg gig bag. This model with the soft aged treatment and fingerboard markers sighs in at over £2000 so I feel that my bass is priced fairly for a quickish sale. If you’re local or just interested you can arrange to come and try it with no obligation. A buyer may organise hi/her own courier, however I am also happy to deliver with the NW of England and meet if you are traveling from further afield. Any questions please ask.

Owing to a change in working circumstances I am looking to sell 2 of my three basses although I will be listing all three. This is the second listing for my very recently purchased Duesenberg Alliance Dave Landreth Signature bass. This is probably the coolest bass I have ever owned. It arrived fitted with round wound strings which have been swapped out for a set of lovely Pyramid flats which deliver a wonderful old school vintage tone. The string height sits at a medium level and in my opinion suits a bass of this type allowing the bass notes to bloom fully. Whilst it’s a bass that you can play fast lines on, it’s more suited to a relaxed and grooving style where it really comes into its own. Think of Rob Mullarkey in Zero 7 (he played A Duesenberg Starplayer bass on some tracks which the Dave Landreth model stems from). The bass comes with a top class fitted case and the appropriate tools, certificate of authenticity etc. Here’s the spec, RRP for these basses is in the region of £2600. It goes without saying that my instrument is almost indistinguishable from new. Buyer can arrange their own carrier although I do advise that the bass is collected or handed over at a suitable meeting point. I am happy to deliver free of charge within the North West of England. Any questions please do let me know. NECK Type:Set Neck, 1-piece Maple Width:41 mm / 1.6" (nut), 53.5 mm / 2.11" (12th fret) Thickness:21 mm / 0.8" (1st fret), 24 mm / 0.95" (12th fret) Shape:Medium D Fingerboard:Indian Rosewood, radius 305 mm / 12" Inlays:Cream Dots Frets:22 Jumbo 2.8 x 1.0 mm Scale length:768 mm / 30.2" Trussrod:Steel dual-action Headstock:Matching Color BODY Type:Semi-hollow with sustain block, bent sides, f-hole Dimensions:46 x 34 cm / 18" x 13.4" Height (sides):4.5 cm / 1.8" Pickguard:Cream Binding:Multi-layer binding Finish:Poly finish HARDWARE Tuners:Duesenberg Z-Tuners Bass Bridge:Duesenberg Bass Bridge Tailpiece:Duesenberg Trapeze Tailpiece Strap pins:Duesenberg Multi-Lock Hardware finish:Nickel Strings: Pyramid Flatwound 45-105.

Owing to a change in work circumstances I will be selling 2 of my 3 bass guitars. This is the listing for the first one, an Alpher Hammerhead 4 string in fantastic condition. This is a tremendously versatile instrument with a huge variation in tone available via 2 custom wound Sunbear 51 p dual humbuckers and the 4 button pickup selection This bass has a standard tone pot rather than the 10 way selector switch. Here’s the spec, 21 fret 34 inch scale 1 piece curly Sassafras body Natural finish Gold headstock Logo Flatsawn Wenge neck Figured Ebony fingerboard (12 inch radius) 39mm brass nut width Jescar Evo Gold 43080 fret wire Luminlay side dot inlays 2 x Sunbear 51p humbuckers Brass patina pickguard Passive: Volume, 4 x on/off buttons (one for each coil) + normal tone pot. Hardware Gold / Black Mixed Hipshot Kickass Bridge Hipshot Ultralite Lollipop Tuners Schaller S-locks Black metal knobs Newtone Alpher strings 45-105 (nickel) Weight: 8lbs 12oz Hiscox Case included, along with multi tool. Alpher themselves have had a few hammerheads on their website recently, one ex demo @ £2495 and it sold within a week. There is a pre owned blue one in their web shop at the moment for the same price. I have priced mine at a lower rate to try and encourage a reasonably quick sale. I am based in Wigan. Any prospective buyer can call to try the bass without obligation.However I can deliver free of charge throughout the North West and meet up with any buyer elsewhere by prior arrangement. I will consider a trade or partial trade with cash my way for a solid bodied short scale bass along the lines of a Wilcock, Serek, JMJ Mustang, Kithara etc Thank you.

There aren’t many Serek basses around. There was one in The Gallery which was a bright orange colour, it sold recently. I have looked high and low and the only ones I can find seem to be elsewhere in Europe the US and Japan.
