I'm going to be adding to this thread over the next couple of days and adding more photos as I go. I've built rather large collection of bitsas, mostly quality instruments, but which I don't really gig anymore, so aware that you rarely get back anything like what you put into them either financially or in terms of time, I'm breaking them all for parts. Some of the parts are to all intents unused. All prices include insured/signed for postage via Royal Mail Special Delivery. The prices are all very good and this stuff will sell quickly given this, so [b][u]no haggling or offers please![/u][/b] So, for starters........ [b][s]East J-Retro pre-amp (boxed and little used). Flat response, the classic Jazz pre. Solderless version bought new mid 2015. £125[/s] SOLD[/b] [b][s]ACG/East 02 pre-amp. £100[/s] SOLD[/b] You WILL need a soldering iron, but it'll be worth it to install a phenomenal filter-based pre amp [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_1983_zps9bthorfk.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_1985_zpsagxiotd0.jpg.html"][/url] [b][s]Fender S1 Jazz Bass circuit, control plate and knobs. £30[/s] SOLD[/b] [b][s]Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Weather Report Jazz Bass PUPs (boxed and little used). £125[/s] SOLD[/b] [b][s]Di Marzio DP122 Precision PUP (boxed). Slight damage to case although not visible when installed[/s]. £30 SOLD[/b] [b][s]Di Marzio DP149 Jazz Bass PUPs (boxed). £60[/s] SOLD[/b] [b]Badass III bridge. Nice condition. £80[/b] Smaller footprint that the model II, string through option as well. [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_1952_zpsab9bjzbq.jpg.html"][/url] [b]Badass I bridge. Seen better days but few bridges do bridging as well as this bridge . £40[/b] A monster. Ugly, heavy but effective. Previous owner made a bad job of aligning the grooves so I had to reverse the E saddle. Works fine, and doubles the weight of your bass within minutes.

Rosewood board with tuners. £100[/s] SOLD[/b] [b][s]Jazz Bass body (Greco IIRC, either way mid 70's Japanese). 70's PUP spacing. Lovely aged natural finish. £90[/s]​ SOLD[/b] [b][s]Jazz Bass body (generic, hand finished in Danish oil at Beedster Custom Shop and rather attractive). 60's PUP spacing. £60[/s] SOLD[/b] Chris

Hi Keith, that's really good of you mate but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it to the event. Hope you all have a great day, I'm jealous of you with all those DBs in one place! Cheers Chris

Folks, I've had a lot of enquires about posting this but having just checked the amount of bubble wrap and card packaging required (whilst a stick bass, it's actually quite deep in that the horizontal distance from the back of the scroll to the bottom of the fingerboard is over 30cms) and assessed the likelihood that I would need to take it apart before posting to ensure that the bridge, end-piece and tuners survive, plus £50 odd to post it, I think it's simply a no-goer, sorry. Chris

I have decided that I do not have conga DNA Collection only from Canterbury Cheers Chris

OK, here's the promised bad stuff! There are a few screws holding front to back together at the endpin. These face the back of the bass and could easily be painted over if it worried you. This bass has had some SERIOUS abuse and there has never been any movement at the endpin [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2433_zps5960e251.jpg.html"][/url] This is what the endpin goes into, and it doesn't allow much adjustment. I have cut my endpin to length so that the top end sits against the interior of the cavity. This means I can't adjust the length of the endpin, but that it's always set (and set solidly) for my playing height. I will provide a spare endpin so that the buyer can likewise set the height for themselves. [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2424_zpsbcb2c600.jpg.html"][/url] Several questions about PUPs. I will throw in either a Kent Armstrong mag PUP (mounts at end of fingerboard) that works but needs some tidying up, or a wing PUP. On this bass I'd recommend the former to be honest

Used this a few weeks back and it was rather loud and rather lovely. I'm quite happy to keep it although I suspect that as we have three PAs in a five-piece band, the money invested in it could probably be put to better use

£200 anyone?

Too much stuff sitting around and too many PMs, so this can be had for £125 posted ahead of my eBaying it at the weekend. No haggling though, and no overseas shipping at that price

I should mention that one thing that this [u]doesn't[/u] have is the spike allowing the player to angle the cab upwards (which I only realised when I was taking photos. I never used it so didn't notice it had fallen out).

Probably had about 10 hours playing, all original packaging included. These were on a DB I sold last week but they came off to reduce the sale price of that (if that makes sense). I'm using guts exclusively now so these will otherwise sit around unused. I'll post pics later today. Chris

[quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1473852231' post='3133539'] That's a deal right there for someone. [/quote] Yes I guess it is, thanks Tom Perhaps I had better start a thread for them! C

You know the score with these. Small, light and very very good at what they do. Now using PA for everything so this is no longer needed.
