I think so - Bartolini 59CBJD-L3/LN3 pickups that are in there Edit - I think they’re hum cancelling actually in which case they’ll be duals

That’s Rocco 😁 Named after Mr Prestia - I didn’t realise he was there till after and I liked the photo so just thought fk it I’ll keep him in haha 😆

This is the absolutely amazing MTD Kingston Saratoga 5 String Active Jazz Bass MTD Kingston basses are assembled in China, but they are then shipped to the US MTD factory in Kingston, New York and then finished off & QC checked there, meaning these are extremely high quality compared to anything else coming out of the Far East This bass has had the electronics upgraded to Bartolini, so it has Bartolini Jazz pickups and a 3B Bartolini preamp with 3 way mid selector (250/500/800hz), giving you the same electronics as the US version (the US version costing about $4k+) so combined with the excellent US QC these instruments get, you’re getting pretty close to a US MTD for a fraction of the Cost. The MTD Kingston Saratoga 5 new is £1199 from Bass Direct, and the Bartolini pickups and preamp run to just over £400, so this bass is really excellent value for money It has a few chips out the finish as this was my main gigging bass for almost a year, and this is reflected in the price. It has BRAND NEW DR Fat Beams on it which sound and feel amazing Controls are: Volume (with push/pull active/passive), Blend, Bass, Mid, Treble (all boost and cut) and 3 way mid selector switch (250/500/800hz) This sounds unbelievable, and with the asymmetric neck that all MTD basses have make for an unbelievably comfortable playing experience - this is a very high end bass for not a lot of money. Shipping is available at cost Trades or PX very welcome, can add cash for the right bass so just send me a message Reduced: £575 (Bit of a quick reduction - It’s up for £650 on Facebook but stuff needs to be a bit more competitively priced on here so I’ve basically knocked it down to what I realistically want/expect for it)

Is this still available?

For sale (or trade) is my Markbass tube compressor bought on here for £100 a couple of months ago Really versatile & great sounding compressor with the actual compression done via the Tube - only reason I’m selling is that I’ve minimised and gone back to the Lusithand Alma comp Works great, takes 12v power supply (not included - pedal board 12v slot on TruTone, Caline and generic Universal power supply plug from Amazon all worked for me) Check the reviews of it here from the two absolute best Bass comp aficionados on the net: http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/markbass.shtml https://www.compressorpedalreviews.com/post/markbass-compressore-review I need an octave pedal asap so happy to trade for that, but I’d rather someone got to use it and I got it shifted quickly rather than sitting on it weeks waiting for it to sell so I don’t mind taking the hit £70 inc postage - which is an absolute steal in anyone’s book!

Well this is now sold mate so it makes it a bit easer for you! Haha. Sadowsky is still there, and IMHO the better value of the 2 basses - its a ridiculously good Bass for the money

Also - if buyer prefers it I can put a white pickguard on it (I quite like the tort one on my sunburst anyway) it looks really good - especially if you’re gonna do the decal

Reduced to £325

Absolutely fantastic - I’m not just saying that, please go on YouTube and check some of the demos & reviews (Low End Lobster’s review & playthrough video was the one that persuaded it was worth getting) I’ve had a couple of 5 string Fender Jazz’s and I’d honestly say the B is better on this Once I’ve sold this one I’m literally only going to go and buy the same bass in Vintahe White! 🤣 I have too many sunburst basses and I saw a White one for sale near me, and so I’ve put this up nice and cheap to sell quickly so I can pick the white one up (it’s costing me almost £100 to change colours but I’ll be keeping it - they’re absolutely cracking basses)

Hi mate - it’s 18mm I think all Sire 5’s are 18mm & all Sire 4’s are 19mm, certainly all the Fender shaped ones are, the M series and new Z series might be different, but I don’t really bother with those models myself. Hope that helps 👍

Reduced - £295!! 🤩

Sire Marcus Miller P5R-5 String P Bass (Tobacco Sunburnt/Tort Pickguard) For sale is my 5 string Sire P-Bass. It is their latest , and best passive P Bass model, the “R” in P5R standing for ‘Rosewood’ as these have Rosewood fingerboards rather than roasted maple, giving them a look much more in keeping with a traditional P-Bass The P5R also has the upgraded “Marcus Vintage-Fat Precision Revolution Split Coil” pickup from the older P5’s which is as good as any P pickup I’ve played, it sounds like a proper vintage P Bass with extended lower range than the older pickups on the P5’s. @Bassdude BE wrote a great review of these basses when they first came out here: 5 string P Basses are pretty hard to come by, and your main option is usually Fender USA’s at over £1k even used. The quality looks and Sound of this bass and epic playability puts it on a par with basses 4 x as expensive, IMO it’s the best bass that Sire have made (and I’ve tried most of them!). Condition is really good, I’ve gigged it a few times but it’s still in excellent condition. It’s lightweight especially for a 5, and has many premium features such as string through body and Rolled edge fretboard only found on US Fender’s. I bought it from Bass Gallery about 6 months ago for £450 and it came really nicely setup, so it plays like a dream Sire Marcus Miller P5R/5: Neck: roasted maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Neck profile: C Scale: 34" (Long Scale) Fingerboard radius: 241 mm Nut width: 48 mm Bone nut 20 Medium small frets Pickups: Marcus Vintage-Fat Precision Revolution Split Coil Volume and Tone controls Tortoise pickguard Marcus Miller Vintage-S Bridge Chrome hardware Colour: Tobacco Sunburst Trades? - Possibly, and I’ll put cash in for the right bass. I actually want a 4 string P Bass and I’d even take a 4 string P5R if it’s in White, but Jazz Bass (4’s & 5’s), Ray34 etc, try me with what you have, but I’d prefer a sale Postage - Postage can be arranged anywhere in the U.K. for about £25. I’m including a Fender gigbag with the sale, so if you do need it posting it’ll be in a Gigbag and it’ll also be boxed with plenty of padding Etc so it will arrive safely Price: Reduced to £295 - An absolute steal for this price! PICS 👇 I’ll even throw in the matching Tort pick if you want it too! 😂

Would you sell the board without power supply, and how much if so? Cheers

EDIT: Got all the pics uploaded into the original post - today I learned about the attachment upload limit of 100mb! 😝

Sadowsky MetroExpress (Gen 1) 5 String PJ Active Bass - Reduced to £325 For sale is my absolutely fantastic gen 1 Sadowsky MetroExpress 5 string bass with PJ pickup configuration. It is in excellent condition, it’s a used bass so there are a few marks and some minor bits of buckle rash but nothing really to speak of, generally the overall condition is still really good. Colour is black, but if you look closely it’s got a sparkle to it a bit like metallic paint, which is subtle but very nice and shows up really nicely on stage under the lights. Maple neck & Maple fingerboard with a Tort pickguard finishing it off giving it one of the classic Sadowsky looks. (See pics for paint) These basses are amazing value for money, this one has had all of the snags that people mention taken care of (fretwork has been done and has been setup really nicely). Very comfortable to play, you’re getting about 80% of the bass you get with a German Metroline, but for £375 (or you can pay another £2k on top for the extra 20% you get with the Metroline - these are hugely underrated basses) Comes with the 2 band Sadowsky preamp so it sounds huge live, there is no VTC (tone control) but it’s really not essential at all. Also has push/pull active bypass/passive mode, so if your battery fails mid gig you’re still ok to carry on, Bass & treble (boost only), volume & blend Probably the most versatile bass I have and the perfect gigging bass for a working bass player - it sounds fantastic in every situation I’ve used it in. Only selling as I have 2 of these PJ5’s - I bought a spare as I like them so much, but I’ve got my eye on something else (again!) so I’ve got to let something go I am also including a really high end, substantial Sadowsky ’Portabag’ gig bag which are still selling for £100+ online. It didn’t actually come with this bass, it came with my first MetroExpress PJ5 that I bought when they were still well over £500, but I dont use it as I have a Mono that I use Postage available if you want it at your cost (will be £25ish) I’ve got the Gigbag to post it in and I’ve still got the box from a bass I bought last month so I can package it all up nice and safely if required Trades? I would prefer the cash but I may be interested in a trade, and will put cash in for the right deal. Currently after a 4 string P Bass, possibly a Ray24/34 or possibly a USA SUB Stingray, I love a Jazz bass too (4 and 5) but just drop me an inbox if you have something to trade - if it’s not for me the worst I can say is no PRICE - Reduced to £350 (Plus postage if needed) DETAILS: - Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Fret Hybrid P/J Bass (5 String) - 34” Scale - Okume Body - Maple Neck & Fretboard - Bolt On Neck - 12” Fretboard Radius - Sadowsky “Just-A-Nut” III Nut - 47.5mm Nut Width - 21 nickel silver frets - Passive Sadowsky P pickup (neck) & J pickup (bridge) - 2 Band Boost only preamp (Bass @ 40hz & Treble @ 4khz) - Volume/Blend/Treble/Bass - Sadowsky Lite Tuners with open gears - Sadowsky Quick Release Bridge - Solid black high polish finish with Tort pickguard PICS 👇 EDIT: Also - if buyer prefers it I can put a white pickguard on it (I quite like the tort one on my sunburst anyway) it looks really good - especially if you’re gonna do the decal

I was thinking exactly that!
