  1. Sorry, only got round to changing necks today to see how I liked it. Unfortunately someone PM'd me before and it's now on hold pending sale with the P neck.
  2. As much as I try just can't get on with the shape of this. Tempted to hang it on the wall it's that pretty! Epiphone Jack Casady in Faded Pelham Blue. Excellent condition. Upgraded Babicz bridge and Grover tuners. All originals included (and original knobs). Only thing to note is a tiny pin prick mark to lacquer on back of top horn and some very minor buckle rash on back. Photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3kj1wdX1LBnf2zi28 Just been to Jim over at Planet Guitar to have a couple of high frets sorted. Comes with basic Ibanez gigbag (that just fits) with zip toggle/handle missing. As such, would much prefer collection from Orpington BR6 or meet up within an hours distance. No trades ta, need the space.

  3. 2010 Squier Deluxe Jazz V active. Excellent overall condition. Some very minor marks but no knocks to paint. Bought this at the same time as an ESP LTD 405 to compare and I'm keeping the ESP. It's quite a weighty beast, my scales have it at 10.8lb / 4.9kg. Includes basic, slightly tatty but functional hard case.

  4. No case with this anymore but still happy to post as have appropriate packing materials. Last call before considering swapping the neck of this one with my matching CV P (I prefer the darker rosewood on this one). This CV J will be then re-listed with the precision neck as a "bitsa" for less money if that's of interest to anyone.
  5. 2021 Fender US Pro II Precision - Olympic white/Maple 4.1kg Excellent condition. No dings or dongs. Complete with original hard case and case candy including tool and certificate. Purchased from BassBros but no one wants my Classic Vibe P and I only need one precision (and I can't stop buying basses). I'll take some photos when I can, but same condition as I bought it in (and more photos): https://bassbros.co.uk/sold-basses/2021-fender-american-professional-ii-precision-bass/ Only difference from the photos is I got Will to put flats on but not sure which ones they are.

  6. Pete bought my SR5. As above, fount of bass knowledge and could have happily chatted bass all day. Pleasure to deal with, enjoy!
  7. Bought a bass from Ed. Great condition as described, prompt postage and well packaged. Many thanks!
  8. Bought a lovely Fender Jazz from Nathan. Prompt comms and postage, well packaged, totally mint as described. @SUDDERS31 top banana!
  9. 9.2lb / 4.2kg. £350 posted or £330 collected. Happy to meet up to an hour away from Orpington.
  10. Nice! Any idea of the weight please?
  11. Don't know if these fit the "vintage" bill, but Pinegrove are top drawer: https://www.pinegroveleather.com/bass-guitar-straps
  12. £380 collected with no case. £400 posted with tatty/basic hardcase. Also on the bay of fleas with more payment options but higher price to cover fees.
  13. Those block inlays are rather splendid!
  14. 2008 Squier Classic Vibe 60’s Jazz - Olympic white. Crafted in China with lovely rosewood fretboard. Excellent condition. A small patch of discolouration on bottom edge near strap button. Some minor oxidation of hardware. Minor marks to truss rod entrance hole. Currently strung with dead rounds and wearing Northwest guitars pickguard. Original pickguard (with playing marks) and thumb rest included. No case. Can post for £30 and I’ll chuck in a generic/tatty hard case for protection.

  15. 2011 Squier Classic Vibe 60’s Precision - Olympic white. Excellent condition, no dings or damage. Only thing to note is some very minor marks to truss rod entry hole. These crafted in China models are fabulous. The Rosewood is very light in colour compared to my last one. Currently wearing 3 ply mint green pickguard from Nortwest Guitars and comes with original black pickguard (which has playing marks) and thumb rest. Strung with Thomastik-Infield Jazz flats JF344. Specs: Body: Basswood Neck: Maple, Modern "C" Shape, (Gloss Polyester Finish) Fingerboard: Rosewood, 9.5" Radius (241 mm) No. of Frets: 20 Vintage Style Frets Pickups: 1 Custom Precision Bass Split Single-Coil Pickup with AlNiCo 5 Magnets Controls: Volume, Tone Bridge: 4-Saddle HiMass Bridge Machine Heads: Open Gear Tuning Machines Hardware : Chrome Scale Length: 34" (864 mm) Width at Nut: 1.65" (42 mm) Unique Features: -Vintage Styling, -Tinted Neck, -Knurled Chrome Dome Control Knobs, -Gold Squier Logo, -Thumbrest, -Synthetic Bone Nut Looking for £400 collected from Orpington BR6. Can meet up to an hour away. Happy to post for £30 and will chuck in a generic hard case. No trades, thanks. Some more photos/video not with the greatest light, the black pickguard ones are when I first got it. I have oiled the rosewood which has made it slightly darker but it's still light: https://photos.app.goo.gl/dF5b7MT7fSucPFuZ7
  16. Much prefer the smaller oval pickguard on these 5’ers. I don’t suppose you still have the original tort pickguard?
  17. https://bassbros.co.uk/product/2021-esp-ltd-surveyor-87/ @AndyTravis Get the spandex out!
  18. I try to refrain from posting comments of admiration on for sale threads as I'd be typing a lot, but hot dang that is stunning! I bet the finish looks incredible in the flesh. I'm afraid wrong time for me financially so GLWTS!
  19. Thanks for the update, I'm tempted to try one of these. What's your other fiver out of interest?
  20. 2021 EBMM Stingray Special 5H in Smoked Chrome. Immaculate condition including original hard case and case. I would love to keep on looks alone but can't justify such an expensive fiver when I can barely play fours! Only things of note are playing marks to pickguard, two tiny grazes to headstock, and a pinhead impression to rear of headstock (all very minor). These do suffer from the G string slipping off, I believe due to the proximity of the string to the edge of the fretboard and the lovely tapered fret edges. I found it needed some adjustment to technique but if you haven't played one, worth mentioning. £1800, no trades thanks. Would much prefer collection in Orpington BR6 or I'm happy to drive up to an hour away to meet. I can also get it to family in Meppershall, Beds, but no amp to try there. If no local interest will consider postage.
  21. Swapped an EBMM Sterling with an ACG Recurve. Ian kindly made the journey to my place; a lovely chap with encyclopaedic bass knowledge. I learnt a few things and am looking forward to playing with tones on the ACG. Top banana!
  22. 1994 Ernie Ball Sterling USA 4H. £1200 collected or near meet Orpington BR6. Generally fantastic condition for age. Beautiful sunburst and Birds Eye maple figuring. A few things to note: At least two of the tuners look ever so slightly bent (the bit you hold to turn). There’s a patch of finish damage under the pickguard near the neck which looks like it’s been glued back. Was like it when I got it so not sure how it’s been done. Small scratch on pickguard which goes to body. Fairly light and looks to be in top coat only. Some very minor marks to body consistent with normal use. Comes with an old and tatty but functional hard case. UK Postage considered if no “local” interest. Weight to follow. Any questions or if more pics are needed, fire away. No trades or offers at the moment, thanks!
