Regretfully moving on my Glockenklang Blue Sky head. Lovely Class A preamp, subtle, musical EQ, Class D power amp section that never seems to break a sweat, great DI and versatile feature set. The amp is in good condition, has been well looked after, and comes with its original gig bag and rack ears. Can post at cost.

This is the 1966 reissue that Fender Japan manufactured for a limited time between 2010 and 2011. It’s in excellent all round condition with only a few scuffs and dings around the body (please see pictures). It has an alder body, maple neck, bound rosewood fretboard with blocks, in Vintage White with matching headstock. The frets are in great shape with no discernible wear. It was originally made for the Japanese market and as such was a non-export model. I bought it used from Ishibashi in 2011 and imported it myself. The original Japanese pickups and electrics have been replaced with Nordstrand NJ4 - 60s wind, CTS pots, period correct capacitor, wiring and Switchcraft jack. The work was done by Feline Guitars in Croydon, who also did a fret dress at the same time. The original pickups and electronics will be included, but the Nordstrands are much better. The bass weighs 10lbs and is nicely balanced. It comes in an SKB ABS case, which is relatively unused, but does have a couple of feet missing so it doesn’t stand up well. Thanks for looking. Any questions please ask.

This is a lovely example of a Fender Japan Precision. It’s the 70s reissue model dating from 2004-05. Alder body, Maple neck and dark rosewood fretboard. I’ve seen the colour described as Sonic Blue, Daphne Blue and Seafoam Green - it’s definitely blue! This is a non-export model for the domestic Japanese market. It has a Seymour Duncan SPB1 pickup installed which came with the bass. I don’t have the original pickup unfortunately. It’s in great overall condition apart from some belt buckle marks on the tummy cut. I’ve tried to photograph these - none of them go through the finish. The frets are in excellent condition - I had the frets looked at by Feline Guitars in Croydon who levelled and polished them. The bass comes in a tweed Warwick Rockcase. Thanks for looking. Any questions please ask!

I'll check that out. Thanks! -
Hi BC Gang, For her 16th birthday my daughter wants a five string bass (what teenage girl doesn't?). She's quite a small girl at 4' 11'' and has quite small hands. I'm wondering if there's a five string out there that will suit her - something with a smallish body, narrow neck width and 32-34" scale length? She current plays on a four sting, medium scale (32") Yamaha BBIVs which she is very comfortable on. But being heavily into metal she's really hankering after a five string! Any recommendations? I have an open mind on budget - but looking at £250-1000 and preferably used. Thanks in advance.
