    Bought a Hohner fretless from Pete. He went the extra mile on the deal, fitted a replacement preamp, set the bass up and posted it with bomb proof packing. Top guy. Thanks. John

    RIP Rick. Great drummer. Him and Foxton carried Wellers’ songs. IMO. I remember recording at his studio back in the day.

    I had no idea of the range of models Sire produce. Went to a musical last night and the pit guy was playing a Sire. Seem to cover all basses…. and v well regarded.

    Bought this for a project but never got round to using it. Unused, other than to test. Box is a bit scruffy. Perfect for iPad or laptop/pc/mac. Specs: https://samsontech.com/products/usb-midi/keyboard-controllers/carbon61/ £50 posted

    Yeah, it’s a fab sounding/playing bass but my rotator cuff makes the reach uncomfortable for long gigs. I’m going to leave it on eBay now it’s nearly gone “full term”, only fair to those who have bid.

    It’s on eBay currently. Finishes tomorrow Michael. It’s not for everyone, and times are tough.

Lovely (very) white body (Signature make) through string body. Excellent condition. Dark red tort pickguard Retrovibe split P pickups under plain jazz covers. Solder-less PIO loom with series/parallel volume pot (that is beast mode) Standard bbot bridge with grooved saddles that now fit brilliantly. £200 posted loaded body only Neck is off a classic vibe P bass, which I find incredibly comfortable) with a cheeky F logo under a well finished lacquer. Gotoh tuners. £99 posted neck only. No case I’m afraid but I have guitar box, lots of cardboard and mucho bubble wrap.

    2007 iMac 300 GB 3GB SD ram OSX El Capitan Comes with Logic Studio and upgrade discs boxed. Sold it once, thought I needed it but didn’t. Reinstalled OS all working fine. Collection from Bath. £30

    Ibanez jazz box. I got this with no pickup or electrics. So installed a nice bucker and solderless harness. Only thing was the wiring didn’t stretch to the hole for tone pot, so I made a new hole and fitted a switch in the old hole. It looks better than a hole or tape across the hole. The switch isn’t connected to the pickups or the controls. *But when switched to the right it unleashes Wes Montgomery style thumb playing, and to the left you will be able to play solos like Joe Pass.* I just haven’t gotten round to using it. It’s got new semi flatwounds on and it sounds and plays great with good tonal range, including proper nice rolled off jazz tone. Comes with basic gig bag. £90 I can access some packing now, so add £15 for a very playable guitar for little money that does the jazz tone and more very nicely. It’s just sitting here not being used. Collect from Bath or do a hand over within reasonable pre agreed distance. *The switch works, but only if you are actually Wes Montgomery or Joe Pass*

    “..It’s never barely been used..” so it’s been used, a lot? I think the price reflects the rarity of the Strap Button On Both Horns model.

    If the original owner only played it twice in 40 years and the current owner has had for 15 years and it’s got “minimal” fret wear, it must be so sh!t that no one wants to play it!

    Only if you watch bands with barristers and dentists in. 🤣

    Did this sell?

    It’s the new world order. Conviction “trumps” facts these days (see what I did there???) If you shout loudly, or use the equivalent type face, the more factualdiddly you is.

    No he’s right, they’re only permitted in Oxfordshire. I tried to play one in Sussex but was arrested for wearing a suede waistcoat in a built up area. Shame really.
