Price drop: £135 ono. Also possibility of delivery. I’m selling an Affinity Precision Bass on behalf of a guitarist mate. I checked the serial number on Squier Wiki and it suggests it was made in 2000-1 at the Yako factory in Taiwan. The full spec on Squier Wiki can be seen here: http://www.squierwiki.com/Affinity-Precision-Bass. The highlights are Alder body, rosewood fingerboard, nut width 41.3mm (supposedly, 40.4mm according to my gauge), C shape neck. It weighs 3.7 Kg (a tadge over 8lbs 2oz) and it balances nicely. The pickup is really pretty good; not red hot but not as feeble as recent Squier Ps I have tried. It produces a satisfying P bass thump and growl. The action is not bad either and I think could be lowered a bit more. I didn’t play with the set up too much, because I am sure the new owner will want to change the strings (which I think are the original 45-105) and adjust the intonation. I lifted the pickguard out of curiosity and was surprised to find full size pots and pretty neat soldering (see pic). No shielding though, so there is a bit of hum when you let go of the strings. This a 23 year old guitar and has a few dings on the body, which I have tried to capture in the photos and a number of light scratches. A few dings around the bottom edge near the jack socket have been touched up by a previous owner. Surprisingly the back is pretty devoid of buckle rash. There are signs that the poly finish may be on its way to cracking but it hasn’t happened yet. There are some light marks on the back of the neck, which I have tried to photograph unsuccessfully. Frets show little wear and there are no significant marks in the fretboard. TBH I get the feeling it hasn’t been played that much: certainly not since my mate has owned it. I gave it a little clean and oiled the board with lemon oil. The pickguard has a few hairline cracks on the edges and has obviously had stickers on it. Plus a previous owner obviously used a pick. I started cleaning the residual glue off but ran out of lighter fluid. TBH I would change it for a tort or black guard but it serves its function OK. I have never got on with full scale P basses before and have moved pretty much to short scale these days but I found this example pretty comfortable and easy to play. I guess that is partly because the nut is a little narrower than some, while not being as narrow as a Jazz. The C neck profile is quite shallow as well. It is also lighter than some of my shorties and balances nicely on a strap, or when seated. It would make an excellent modding platform as well. For not very much cash it could be made into a very nice bass: I am thinking Fender high mass bridge, Tone Rider or similar pickup, Wilkinson lightweight tuners, replacement pickguard of your choosing, decent strings, perhaps a bit of mild distressing for that road worn look; job done. In fact please buy it, or I might be tempted to buy it myself! It comes with a very nice but dusty Warwick Rockbag gig bag, with pretty thick padding (25mm according to my gauge). The current equivalent costs about £50. You are welcome to try and buy in Fakenham, Norfolk. I am sure we can find a box to courier it at buyers expense. I can also meet up within about 30 miles or so for a handover. We can accept payment by PayPal, bank transfer, or cash on collection/handover.

A recent acquisition means I need to sell some gear and this lovely little amp is one that has to go. It has been used in conjunction with a Barefaced One10 (which I am also selling), to make a fantastic little, lightweight but surprisingly loud rig for practice, rehearsals and small gigs. The full spec can be found here on the Warwick website: https://shop.warwick.de/en/amplifier/bass-amps/bass-amp-heads/23458/warwick-gnome-pocket-bass-amp-head-200-watt. The highlights are: Class D; 200 watts @4 ohms, 130 watts @ 8 ohms; 3 band EQ +/-15 db cut/boost; gain and master vol; 1/4 headphone socket; DI out with switchable ground lift. All in a package that will fit in the back pocket of your jeans and easily into the pocket of most gig bags. It is also reassuringly solidly built, with a metal chassis and brushed aluminium cladding top and bottom. All this while only weighing just under a kilo. I am told that the fan is quieter than the TE Elf’s. I haven’t had an opportunity to do an A/B but I can say that I don’t find the Gnome’s fan intrusive while playing. I have used this for practice at home, band rehearsals and 2 gigs. Apart from that, it has been my backup amp for my full scale rig. It is in excellent condition IMO. There is one tiny, hardly visible scratch on the aluminium top. Apart from that I can’t find any blemishes. Everything functions as expected. You are welcome to try and buy in Fakenham, Norfolk (£85). I can meet up for a handover within about 50 miles, or post to the UK only for £90 all in. If you are interested in buying both this amp and my BF One10 cab I can do a package deal. PM me to discuss. Payment via bank transfer, PayPal, or cash on collection/handover. I am not looking for trades on this one.

Thank you for your interest. I’m sorry but I have had really bad experiences sending stuff to Europe. It has been enough to put me off. I should have mentioned this specifically in the listing.

-AF5B-40FE-8F2C-E5C9B3A9760A.heicA recent acquisition means that I have to part with this excellent Barefaced speaker cabinet. As you are looking, you probably know the capabilities of these amazing cabs but the basics are: 10" driver; 250 watts @ 8 ohms (up to 500 clean); weight 7.5 kg; max SPL 119DB; only 15" (38CM) high. The full specs and general write up can be found here: https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/one10.htm. This cabinet has been used for practice in my studio, the odd band rehearsal and two gigs only. It is in excellent condition IMO. I can only find one small ding that has not gone through the tolex. I noticed one small white mark in one of the photos and a dark patch which I will clean off before handover. There are a couple of light abrasions on the metal corner plates where they have done their job. The tolex has not peeled, unlike many other examples but you can see the join between the sheets of tolex in some places: I don't know whether this is the early signs but so far, so good. It has never been subjected to anything like 250 watts, as I have used it with a Warwick Gnome running at no more than 1/4 volume (0.25 x 130 watts @ 8 ohms). Incidentally I am selling that as well if you are interested (they make an excellent and powerful little rig together). The One10 is plenty loud enough at small amp volumes due to its high sensitivity. The Roqsolid cover is the foam padded type and has done its job well. It is a little dusty in places but there are no rips, or pulls and the seams are all intact. The current price of the One10 is £449 and the lead time is 4-6 weeks. The Roqsolid cover costs £61 posted and takes about 3 weeks. Save yourself 40% off the new price and get them without having to wait over a month. You are welcome to try and buy in Fakenham, Norfolk. I can meet up within about 50 miles for a handover. I have the original box and can post/courier at buyers expense to the UK only. As an illustration, Parcel Force express24 would be about £20 to UK mainland with full insurance. Other couriers would be a bit more I suspect. That would be according to your preference. If you are interested in buying both the One10 and Gnome, I can do a package deal discount. PM me to discuss. I can accept a bank transfer, PayPal, or cash on collection/handover. I am not looking for trades on this. Thanks for looking.

Is it this one: ? In which case, there is a pretty good description in the above listing, including woods. Fortunately for my GAS, NI is a long way away. Surprised this hasn’t gone yet TBH. GLWTS.
