  1. Sold a Lakland jazz bass to Phil, what a lovely chap! He came over when agreed, we had a good natter about bass and left with a new Lakland. Genuine bass-phile and could have spent all day chatting. Deal with in confidence; top banana! @phil147
  2. Bought a jazz bass off Harry. Efficient and pain-free transaction, bass is lovely as described; top banana!
  3. Great idea! I’ll hopefully have this by mid next week (Orpington) and won’t have any further need for it. Can also get it to my folks place in Meppershall, Beds if that’s any good for anyone.
  4. I’m fairly confident your stable is bigger than mine, I’m nearly down to a single rack with none hiding anywhere! Aye, the Valenti is special. This is lovely too but I want a blue/white one! Gushing praise indeed, the cheque’s in the post!
  5. Looks to be a lovely bass but need a straight sale on this I’m afraid as need to reduce numbers.
  6. Sound sample, pre refin, care of @bubinga5 ...
  7. 1997 Atelier Z DAL-5 Jazz Bass - refin Pearl Blue Stonking super jazz but I'm trying very hard to get down to sensible numbers! This was advertised on here although I picked it up from Bass Direct: https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Atelier_Z_Jazz_5.html?fbclid=IwAR0XpDHMMB_I4kisOc3kLbgn5cgjk2ZuXOVKMQneVaY1pO5f1-4VEl4G6gk Was originally black, body re-finished by David Wilson in Hexam, commissioned when @bubinga5 owned it. "One of the early golden era AZ basses made by Mas Hino who made the early Sadowsky Metro series basses when he left Atelier. The neck is all original with original Gotoh tuners" 9.4lbs on my bathroom scales Generally excellent condition. There's a couple of very, very minor marks but no dings or missing finish. If I'm being super anal, the paint has sunk ever so slightly where the original pickguard holes have been filled but almost impossible to photograph and very, very minor. I've included a little video to try and show below. There's a very minor neck pocket finish hairline crack on one side. Again, can't really see but mentioning for transparency. Some minor oxidisation of hardware. Maple Neck and Fingerboard Chambered Alder body with Ash top Neck: 34", Maple, 21 Frets Tuners: Gotoh GB-30 Bridge: Gotoh 205B-5/18P Pickups: Atelier Z JBZ-5 Preamp: Nordstrand 2B-4B (2 Band Preamps - Nordstrand Audio) (Original Atelier Z EQ/M included in the sale) Controls: Vol, Pickup Blend, Bass Boost/Cut, Treble Boost/Cut Weight 4.3 kg Nut Width: 47mm String Spacing at the Bridge: 18mm Hardcase - need to dig this out from my case cupboard, from memory it has no damage but will check! Advertising it for what I got it for, which I believe is a very reasonable £999. Can post at buyer's cost/risk to mainland UK or collection/inspection welcome in Orpington BR6. Happy to drive up to an hour to meet. No trades please. IMG_2409.mov
  8. Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones DJ4 - black sparkle (has a subtle fleck/sparkle). I love a jazz, just have too many! Excellent condition, some very minor marks including some buckle rash on back but no dings or missing finish. Drop D tuner, don't have original I'm afraid. Tiny, tiny indentation on the back of the neck by the 7th fret. I can't photograph it's so minor but you can just feel it as you play. Nice weight at 8.8lbs on the bathroom scales. Comes with Gator hard case. Can post at buyer's cost/risk to mainland UK. Collection/inspection welcome in Orpington BR6. Number of Strings:4 Left-/Right-handed:Right-handed Body Shape:Skyline Darryl Jones Body Finish:Gloss Polyurethane Neck Material:Maple Neck Shape:DJ Neck Joint:Bolt-on Radius:10" Fingerboard Material:Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay:Blocks Number of Frets:21 Scale Length:34" Nut Width:1.5" Nut Material:Delrin Bridge/Tailpiece:Lakland Dual Access Bridge Tuners:Hipshot Ultra-Lite Neck Pickup:Lakland Vintage J Single-coil Bridge Pickup:Lakland Vintage J Single-coil Controls:2 x volume, 1 x master tone
  9. Ha, you are the worst enabler! I’d like it but wrong time funds wise (sun is out - motorbike stuff to pay for!). GLWTS
  10. Reduced to £649, need to reclaim some space!
  11. Reduced to £149, need to reclaim some space!
  12. Vintage VJ74 ReIssued jazz bass. Candy Apple Red, Wilkinson hardware all round. Excellent condition, no dings or dongs. Plastic film still on pickguard. Weight 9.4lbs. Picked this up second hand off eBay as a mod platform and was very impressed for the price. Typically something lightweight came up right after and I don't need two "budget" jazzes. I've cleaned, oiled board, new strings and basic setup. To me, the G string looks too far away from the edge of the fretboard but it's sat in the bridge saddle correctly and nut looks good. Can't feel anything untoward when playing. Also, the E string is a little louder than the rest, not sure if this is the strings, pickups or my crap setup. Anyway, looking for £175 which is what I got it for plus the cost of the strings. No case or gigbag but have ample packing materials to post (mainland UK only). Welcome to come have a look/play in Orpington. Will get some better photos up but for now: Specs here: https://vintageguitarsrus.com/collections/vj74-75-reissued-bass/products/vintage-vj74-reissued-bass-guitar-candy-apple-red
  13. Lovely colour (and seller!). Should have told me about this one when you collected the Sandberg!
  14. Easter BassChat sale price of £699. Can post. In Witney area over Easter weekend if that's any nearer.
  15. Bought a bass from Jack. Great comms throughout and possibly the most comprehensive bass packaging I have ever received! Bass lovely as described; top banana!
  16. I was wondering who would break first!
  17. Is the cat included?! Absolute stunner. My favourite colour combo at the moment and a nicer chap you will not find. This will probably haunt me but no funds or space at the moment.
  18. Joel bought a pedal from me. Prompt comms and payment in a smooth a pain-free transaction; top banana!
  19. Bought some pickups from Harry. Quick comms, prompt postage, well packaged, unused as described. Top banana!
  20. Can post and willing to listen to sensible offers.
  21. Sold Chris a bass, prompt comms and collection as agreed. Lovely chap and could have spent a long time talking about basses! Top banana!
  22. Bought this second hand from RichTone during a Royal Blood obsession. Condition is as I received it: all working as it should but cosmetic marks on the case. Bottom rubber has some velcro residue. £60 posted mainland UK or welcome to collect from Orpington BR6.
