Next up for grabs is my beautiful Musicman Stingray Special. This is the latest iteration of one of the best basses ever made. The modifications and upgrades made to the Special basses really are a substantial step up in terms of overall quality and tonal flexibility, plus they don't weigh as much as a heavy thing anymore! The roasted maple neck is absolutely gorgeous, it feels slimmer/faster than my previous Stingrays. The bespoke hardware is spot on, lightweight but substantial, and the electronics are super quiet and refined, while still allowing you to go into Stingray widow-maker mode when required! This bass is in in amazing condition, still has the plastic film on the scratchplate!

Up for grabs is my outrageously gorgeous GB Spitfire. It's in amazing condition, plays wonderfully and sounds incredible. Enough superlatives, you know what these things are all about. Top notch build quality, bespoke electronics, and the best materials available. Selling (along with some other basses and amps) due to a never ending house project.. Here's a link to the Bass Gallery advert (when it was for sale there) for some great photos. https://reverb.com/uk/item/4801040-gb-basses-spitfire-5

*Β£275 Posted* GR Bass 700+ head including (third party) gig bag. This is a great little powerhouse of an amp that comfortably fits in the front pocket of a gig bag even when in the carry case! It's a very clean amp that let's your true bass tone shine through. Specs: POWER 700W RMS 4 ohm, 350W 8 ohm DIMENSIONS Dimensions: 24 x 20 x 5 cm Weight: 2,1 Kg PLUS- VU meter led - 9 Volt Output pedal effects - Switch fan on/off noiseless - Subsonic filter for woofer protection - Color: black (other colours available on request) - Panel+logo: brushed aluminium Here's a good review from Musicradar. I can confirm that it does indeed sound 'immense' with a Stingray attached! https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/bass/gr-bass-700-head-640419

Check out the Tiny Desk concerts on YouTube. The Jacob Collier one is quite remarkable, too.

Here we have my hand made in France Vigier Excess 4. This is my first Vigier and I really love the unique neck concept. To the uninitiated, these basses have a solid carbon support rod in the neck and no truss rod. The relief is factory set (very slight relief) and the playing action is adjusted via the comprehensive bridge. It's quite liberating to know that whatever the gig conditions are like, the bass will remain consistent. The quarter sawn maple neck is a pleasure to play. It's a little wider than a Jazz bass but feels slick and fast in the left hand. The lightweight Schaller tuners keep everything balanced and tuned to perfection. The neck is practically mint. The passive single coil Benedetti pickups sound glorious. The EQ is quite extreme (18db boost) but I find subtle changes can offer a great deal of variety. The most useful knob by far however is the pan pot. The neck pickup is incredibly full and deep sounding and the bridge is very articulate and funky. Combine various degrees of the two and you're pretty much covered tone wise! Despite the minty fresh neck, the body is showing a few signs of use. It has a ding near the recessed jack socket and some buckle rash. The Vigier comes with a rather nice burns gig bag which is very similar to my Protec Contego.
