Nice. Let me, and all of us know your thoughts. I think it's very versatile. Huge sound and incredibly hot output from the massive humbuckers and 18v preamp. It's a room shaker if you go overboard on the bass boost!

Hi, I'm happy to sell it privately. BG have had it for a number of months. I'll just need to go up to the BG and collect it.

It’s currently at The Bass Gallery in Camden, who are selling it on commission for me. They measure the nut width at 41mm and bridge spacing at 19mm. The neck is slimmer than a regular Stingray. Not quite Jazz bass, but heading that way. It’s a comfortable neck to play. Here’s the link for the bass at The Gallery: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/music-man-4

I had a pickup issue on another Musicman I used to own. I got a replacement pickup via the repair shop that sorted and installed it for me. Though I believe it is quite difficult to get spare parts out of Musicman, it is possible. Contact the Musicman distributor in your area first and ask their advice.

This for sale post ought to be pinned. So pretty.

I wish I didn’t need to. I’ve had to go private on some medical treatment for my daughter, that isn’t covered on the NHS. So need to raise some funds 😔

Thanks Misdee. Thanks for sharing this info. Worth mentioning that it’s an 18v preamp requiring 2 batteries. I’ve seen Reflex models with a single 9v. I share your opinions on its sounds and pickup options. My favourite is coil 2&3 in “jazz bass” mode. Just lovely ☺️

Thanks. I don’t think this is quite the Reflex model but they do resemble each other. I think the switching is different between the two models. Not sure about the preamp. The preamp on this gets massive very quickly! I’ve attached a PDF in the post showing all the pickup switching options.

For sale is my Musicman 25th Anniversary 4 string bass with dual humbuckers. It’s in excellent condition with just a few very minor wear marks in the usual playing areas. Ash body with mahogany tone block, quilted maple top in Venetian redburst, cream binding, maple neck with satin finish, rosewood fretboard, matching headstock. Frets are in excellent condition and have been finished flawlessly. The preamp and pickup switching options give this bass a huge palette of tones. Neck is a C shape with a 41mm compensated nut. Weight is 4.4kg and the bass comes in its original Musicman 25th Anniversary case, with cleaning cloth and warranty card. Collection preferred from my home in South London, but can post at cost. Thanks for looking. Please ask if you have any questions. 25th_bass_controls_hh.pdf

There’s nothing to say they are overwound on the box so I’d say these are standard. I’ve tried to find my original order to confirm, but that’s long lost unfortunately. I would’ve bought these for vintage tone so again, probably standard.

Lindy Fralin Precision bass pickup. Unused. I can’t remember why I bought this. I think I bought it to try in a MIJ Precision but never got round to it, and I know longer own the bass 😔 £95 posted. Thanks for looking.

Unused pair of Lindy Fralin jazz bass pickups. Bought for a bass that I sold before getting a chance to install these. £105 including postage. Thanks for looking.

Last call for The James Taylor Quartet!

Open to offers. Shame to see these go unused.

Hey BC Gang, i have two tickets for James Taylor Quartet and orchestra at Cadogan Hall in London this Friday 27th March. This looks like a very special concert and I’m gutted I can no longer attend. Anybody want these? Stalls seating - M19 and M20. 7pm start time. Face value of £40 each. Happy to let them go for £60 the pair. Tickets are pdfs so can email them to you. Here’s the Cadogan Hall link: https://cadoganhall.com/whats-on/james-taylor-quartet-2023/

Tech21 Bass Flyrig in very good condition. Includes tin and power supply which has a euro plug and UK adaptor. Very nice portable preamp pedal. £230 including UK postage. Thanks for looking.

Hi, yes I still have this. The power adaptor accepts 100-240v.

I haven’t got a box at the moment. But I’ll let you know if I do find one. PM your location, just in case a gig takes me to your location.

Maybe time for a change of wife?

I'm selling this hi spec and rather unusual Sandberg 48. Soft core aged from the factory, in metallic orange with cream racing stripes, matching reversed headstock, rosewood fretboard with pearloid blocks. The pickups are actually a P bass style neck, and MM style bridge pickup. The Sandberg preamp is very flexible, with passive mode activated by the pull pot volume knob. It comes with its special shaped gig bag, tools and hangtag. This was originally spec'd and sold by Classical and Cool Guitars. Here is their link for this bass: https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/sandberg-48-reverse-headstockadd-description-copy-3/ The bass is as it was when first bought. I had it up for sale here a few years ago, but then withdrew it. No damage (other than the soft core ageing), and no issues. It's a lovely bass to play, frets levelled polished a couple of years ago, very comfortable and beautifully made. Weight is 4.1kg. Well balanced on your lap. No noticeable neck dive if you use a good strap. Collection from my home in Crystal Palace, South London preferred, but can post. Thanks for looking!

I’ve really underpriced this haven’t I! Now on hold.

Not in the next few months. However, my brother in law is coming up to visit on the 28th. He's from Limpley Stoke just outside Bath. I might be able to send it back with him if he has room in his car. Would you be able to collect it from him?

Musicman case to fit Stingray, Sabre etc. Decent condition, all catches work fine and no buckling. Can post at cost. Thanks for looking 👀

Regrettably moving on my trusty Bergantino HS210 cab. In good condition, 400 watts, 8 ohms, with Bergantino padded cover. This cab has been with me everywhere in the last 12 years. It has done loads of gigs but has always been looked after and never driven hard. It has thousands more gigs left in it! If it sells I will miss it. If it doesn’t sell I wouldn’t mind keeping it at all, just for the days when I need to feel the heft.
