I bought this about 2 years ago, but have done very little with it - I don't really play bass anymore so want to move it on. It's in excellent condition; I've only played one (very civilised, jazz) gig with it, and I don't think there's a mark on it. I have, however, made one modification - a Hipshot string tree (see photos). It's currently strung with flats (Chromes). Sounds lovely, plays brilliantly with a good low action. When I bought it, I tried all the Mexican Precisions in the shop (i believe it was five), and picked my favourite. On the scales it comes in at a smidge over 3.9kg / 8.6lbs. I'm based just outside Nottingham in the Vale of Belvoir - but I'm happy to travel a bit to meet halfway, etc. I'd rather not post as I don't have a hard case for this, only a gig bag (which will also be included in the sale). The bag is a good quality one, with lots of generous padding, but still I'd rather not risk a courier. I'm not really interested in trades, unless they're acoustic guitar or mandolin related.

Price drop to £300 ono

Thomann premium bass gigbag - really thick 30mm padding, good quality bag. Bit of a loose thread at the top (see photo), but otherwise pretty tip-top condition-wise. £18 including UK delivery

Price drop - £15 Vox headphone amp, which runs on 2 AAA batteries. Good sounding little unit - let's be fair, it's not going to sound like a SVT, but for silent practice it's ideal. It also has an aux in, so you can connect music to play along to. £15 including UK delivery

MarkBass Bass Keeper - excellent for gigs where it can hold your bass just by being attached to the carpet covering of a cab, or around the carrying handle on the side. The velcro has come away a little inside, but it still works absolutely fine - it's been like this for about 5 years now, and hasn't failed with pretty regular gigging. £5 including UK delivery.

A few music books for sale - there may be some pencil marks, but I'll try to rub these all out. Standing in the Shadows of Motown - £10 (inc. UK delivery) - SOLD Great book transcribing James Jameson's lines, with a lot of history on Jameson, Motown and The Funk Brothers. Please note that this is only dots - not tab. 2 CDs are included. Jazzology- £7 (inc. UK delivery) - SOLD Really good book for anyone wanting to get into jazz theory. Full of exercises to test the brain. Learn to Play Bass Manual - £7 (inc. UK delivery) - SOLD Goes from the complete beginner to the very advanced; decent book to learn from for players of any ability. 2 CDs included.

DR nickel Sunbeams, 45 - 105. Very little wear on these, I put them on for less than a week and then realised I'm definitely a flatwound chap. Lovely strings though. They have been cut for a P bass (string through body). £12 including UK delivery

Hercules mini guitar stand - it folds up very small, making it ideal for gigs. £12, including UK delivery.

PRICE DROP - £290 / £320 WITH UK DELIVERY Fender Rumble 2x10 combo. About 18 months old, in great condition; one nick in the tolex which I've glued back in place, and the plastic logo has been replaced with a metal one. Great sounding, light (around 16kg) and loud combo, which can do modern or vintage tones. Fender footswitch for drive channel included. Based in Nottingham - £290 ono, or I can ship to UK (with insured courier) for £320.

As I'm taking a (possibly permanent) hiatus from playing, I'm selling off some gear. This is an absolutely lovely P bass, definitely the best I've had, perhaps the best I've played. It has been gigged so there is some wear, but it's in pretty decent condition, with a beautiful sunburst over the ash body, and lovely mint green scratchplate. The neck is really comfy. Classic 60's P, so wide but slim front to back. Weight is just over 10lbs according to my bathroom scales. This is one of the older Korean models with the Lindy Fralin pup, and it sounds simply glorious. Overall, beautiful to play, beautiful to hear and beautifully made. It's currently strung with Fender flats which are quite new; they need a bit of aging to reach their full thumpiness. Neck is lovely and straight with no issues, and action is low. I will include a Fender tweed hardcase in the sale; it's a bit old and marked but perfectly functional. I can courier in the UK for £600 ono, or buyer collects (Nottingham) for £550 ono. Not interested in any trades I'm afraid.

Set of Ernie Ball Cobalt flats 45, 65, 85, 105. Cut for a P bass. I bought these a few weeks ago, and have been on my bass for a week or so. In total they've probably had about 6-7 hours of playing. Selling as I bought these to try out - I love TI's but sometimes have a hankering for rounds. I thought these would be the best of both worlds, but for me, they don't really do the gruff flat thing with the tone knob down; they're just a bit too zingy! That said, I'm sure they'd sound great on a jazz or stingray, or something a bit more modern. Price includes UK delivery - happy to take PayPal for these.

I've dealt with Rich in the past and he was a thoroughly nice, trustworthy chap. I'm sure his feedback thread says so also - there's bound to be a simple explanation for the pics (probably a recent purchase which he's changed his mind on).

Lovely Yamaha BB for sale. Great sounding and playing bass, in excellent condition. I've been wondering whether or not to sell this as it's really fab, but it simply isn't being played. Good setup with low action, and currently fitted with GHS flats. I don't have a hardcase, so I'd rather not post, but I'm happy for the buyer to collect (from Nottingham) or meet halfway, etc. I have a decent gigbag which I will throw in. Looking for £225 ONO. Not interested in any trades at the moment.

I have two Ashdown MAG cabs for sale; a 2x10 (with tweeter) and 1x15. These are cheap cabs, but sound pretty good. Both are rated at 250W and are in good functional condition, but corners are scuffed, etc. MAG 210T Deep II - 250W, 29KG MAG 115 Deep - 250W, 27KG Of course I'm open to offers (no trades please), but I'm looking for £75 per cab, or I'll do both for £130. Collection from Nottingham - I don't have packing to ship, but could deliver (within reasonable distance) for petrol money.

No longer on hold, back up for sale
