FS, beautiful example of a 1996 Vigier Passion III. Good condition with a few marks & dings. This is a superb bass to play, thin neck with 80:20 carbon inserts, making it rock steady & no need of a truss rod. I'd recommend coming to have a look, "bassed" near Horsham, West Sussex. Collection preferred. £1,000 or near offer. These were over £3,000 new, so grab a bargain!

Excellent chap - bought a 2011 US P-bass off him & he couldn't have been more helpful. Recommended!

For sale only - this early example of Mark's work, a Limelight Custom Guitars 2012 Fender Precision '58 tribute. I think it's serial number 00102, the second bass Mark built, but I may be wrong. I'm selling this reluctantly & will no doubt regret it hugely, as this is a superb bass, but a change in circs leads me to downsize my bass collection. This bass feels & plays like a '58 should, & while all may not like the relicing I think it's superb. There are no issues with it at all. Message me with any interest, I'll take more pics if required. [attachment=208646:Frank1.jpg]

Here we have my Fender USA Standard Precision, rosewood neck, '95 according to the serial number. Black on black. I bought it used a few years ago, was my main bass for years until I bought two Limelights & this is now underused. It's the Standard version of the time - through strings, no S-1 switch. Pickups have been upgraded to Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarterpounder pickups, & it has the added benefit of a Hipshot D-tuner. Also Schaller straplock buttons. I used to have a Babicz full contact bridge on there, but I've refitted the original bridge. For this reason it'll probably need setting up to your taste. It also has a Fender shaped hard case, but I have no idea if this is the original case. Cosmetically very good for a well-loved, 20-year-old bass. There are a few dings on the headstock, very minor, & one ding on the lower edge, but overall the bass is very clean & a real pleasure to play. Looking for £850 ono, make me an offer, collection from Horsham, I'll deliver many places for fuel, will post at cost, just ask! I'll leave this on here for a week before offering elsewhere.

I'd agree - I have two, a P-Bass & a Jazz, both are superb & the best "Fenders" I've played. Mark is a lovely guy & I've dealt with him a few times. But I agree with the GAS sentiments on here - and I've sold a lot of beautiful basses (Vigier, Fender, Gibson, etc) quite simply because I've needed the money!

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1427055403' post='2725235'] Excellent, where did you get yours from ? I tried a Dingwall and it wasn't comfortable. The spacing is just a bit too big for me, [/quote] Got mine at GAK on Friday - they arrived with them on Thursday. I only find that it's a bit of a stretch very low down on the B/E strings. The rest of the spacings are pretty normal, so much so I've been playing for a few hours now & don't even have to think about it. I can thoroughly recommend it!

Here we go - got mine yesterday, have played it a fair bit at home, gigging it tonight. First impressions - looks great (personal opinion, some people hate it), feels superb, easier to get used to than I thought it would be (in fact the fanned frets make very little difference to playing style or position), sounds absolutely brilliant. I love the Ibanez neck (despite being a mainly Precision player), it's a natural matt finish so it feels played already. Pickups are nice & responsive, together with the electrics you can easily find a usable tone. But I guess what this is for is the string balance & low B, & I must say this bass does exactly what it's supposed to. Incredibly playable B string, & the tone of the bass carries across all the strings. So I'm very happy so far. For £725 this is an excellent bass & would be without the fanned frets. With the FF it's a complete winner, I love it. But fair point about the nut! It does look a bit odd.
