Hi All, So, I am relisting this semi-hollow beauty, which is in tip-top shape. It is a fantastic instrument, but having a Prestige 5005 I find myself privileging that over this one—not because it's a prestige (the quality is really up there, really) but really because of the different pick ups, which work a little better than the Nordies for me. It is, overall, a stunning specimen, and it comes with its lightweight case. Happy to send additional pictures if there's a need for that. Specs pasted below. The bass you see in the video is the one that is actually for sale. Excuse the wrong notes! The bass is in Liverpool. Considering the pandemic currently wreaking havoc on whatever is outside our homes, I would prefer shipping, but after restrictions are lifted it might be possible to do a socially distanced collection in Liverpool or London.

Stunning!

It's even better in person, really sparkly!

Hi all, Some time back I decided that I wanted to try the 5 string Jazz thing again. It did not work for me: I like 5 and 6 string basses just as much as the next guy, but not if they are Fender-like. Makes complete sense, doesn't it? Well, that's my story anyways. So I think I am going to buy another one of these, but 4 string. Hence the decision to list this beauty. I have absolutely no complaints about this instrument. The fretwork is top notch, the rolled edges of the fingerboard are something to lust over, and the colour is fantastic (especially with a zebra-print strap, which I can strongly recommend). The tone is stellar, but we all know that by now. The weight, too, is decent on this one: 4.7 kilograms on ye olde bathroom scale. Bought from Andertons a couple of months back, obviously never gigged and set up with extra care by yours truly. Not only that, but I also did some necessary set up, such as filing the nut to the correct height—so you don’t have to. The bass is effectively new, so why not knock 100 quid off the list price? The specs are listed below. Of note, this is a 2nd generation iteration, which is great because the radius is much less extreme than the original 7.25", which drove me crazy. For the connoisseurs, there is some very nice birdseye figuring on the maple fretboard, which is a thing of beauty. I have tried to capture it, but it's not so easy. Trades: thanks, but no thanks, unless you have a USA Stingray 5H with an Alnico pick up which you are willing to part with (of course, the difference in trade value would be compensated). Offers: open to reasonable ones, but, really, the bass is new.

Having bought a Musicman from Chiliwailer in the past, I confirm: great seller! Bass looks stunning too, so have a bump on me.

You know what, I have come to my senses: withdrawn!

Thanks! Max Sansalone’s YouTube videos are legendary!

I did! Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to edit that!

Hi All, Of course I added an extra zero, but I can't edit that. Anyhoo... I am considering parting ways with this semi-hollow beauty, which is in tip-top shape. It is a fantastic instrument, but having a Prestige 5005 I find myself privileging that over this one—not because it's a prestige (the quality is really up there, really) but really because of the different pick ups, which work a little better than the Nordies for me. It is, overall, a stunning specimen, and it comes with its lightweight case. Happy to send additional pictures if there's a need for that. Specs pasted below.

Stunning. I might PM you soon!

Pro tip: there is quite a bit of padding at the pointy end, and removing some of it allows to fit longer basses than one would think without harming them.

I have one and I put it through its paces. Never failed me once. Strongly recommended!

Maple neck and and rosewood fretboard.

In what could possibly be the fastest sale on BC, sold pending the usual!

I have recently upgraded a few things and, since I will be moving to a different city soon, I am getting rid of some of the stuff I have around here. So here's a very nice AllParts neck (left) with inexplicable, but easily removable 'Kennedy' decal. Works great, frets in excellent conditions, truss rod is perfectly effective. 205 shipped to UK, Schaller tuners included and generic bone nut included.

Hi all, moving out of my flat so selling some bits from my trusty Harley Benton JB40FL. The body is really quite beautiful, with a nice grain and finish. The neck is honestly a dream to play. I have upgraded and now I have a Fender with a Warmoth ebony-boarded neck, otherwise I would have kept it. The neck is lined, but I did the sharpie trick to make the lines less intrusive. (I can include a sheet of 1000 sand paper if you want to go back to the original version.) i am also including pots and the Roswell pick ups it came with. There will be some soldering to do and I strongly suggest getting a different bridge (the saddles on this are glued in place, which I normally do on all my basses, but on this one I went too far with the glue). Shipping is extra, but it will normally be 10 quid or less. Pictured also the AllParts neck I am selling (for 200 shipped with Schaller tuners, which is what I paid for it)

My old bass! Nice!

Sold! Thanks!

Up for sale is this very nice Jazz neck. It's a Stewmac, as confirmed with some digging on Talkbass, and it is one of the nicer ones built in the Godin / Lasido factory. As far as I know, newer Stewmac necks are made by Mighty Mite. Since I also own a Mighty Mite fretless neck, I can state with complete certainty that the quality is really not comparable and that this one is miles better. I had it on one of my Jazzes for some time, and I am now moving to different woods for a different aesthetic vibe, but I really had no other reason to move away from it. This comes with no-name, but very decent tuners. The nut, as far as I can tell, is bone. Pictures in the link! I have just the perfect box and I think I'd be able to ship it across the Kingdom for about a fiver. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMLdLVUULj-PLKAHMOJUlur6lCjBE1l6QETcwWjRB5yp--ij1yN_q6_xbY_KMfgug?key=dlN6YXgxa0NRYm5UMUVCQTN4TF96NFNsWFRySnJn
