One of my bass tutors when I was studying music had this exact model that he'd had for many years and it always sounded awesome. My first pro bass was a Sei Jazz 5 as well so they will always have a place in my heart. One day I think I'll have to pick up one of these early headless models! GLWTS

NOW SOLD PRICE DROP (7/8/24) Now considering offers around £5500 Here we have my Lovaszi 'Stella' double bass that I bought new at Laurence Dixon's Bass Place (London) in 2016. This is a very unusual model as (I believe) it is the only bass Andras Lovaszi has put his name to with 'Busetto' corners. The bass is 3/4 size with a 41 inch scale length. The Bass Place website says that the Stella model "is made of maple and spruce aged at least eight years, and carries the top of the range machine heads and endpins from the same German supplier. These have aged varnish." These basses are fully carved by master craftsmen in Hungary then finished with high quality hardware in the UK. I used this bass extensively when I was working as a pro musician in London/SE England and it's an absolutely wonderful instrument. This model has narrow shoulders so the access to the mid/upper range of the bass is fantastic. Would be very suitable for Jazz or tuned to solo tuning. Currently strung with Evah Pirazzi Weich strings which I personally love. Pickup in person from Leeds and I would highly recommend making the trip to try the bass in person. It sounds as good as it looks! Offers around 6000 will be considered. NOW 5500

Wow this is stunning. Any idea on the year it was made? Should say in the control cavity

NOW £450 A great fretless from the always reliable Ibanez. I bought this bass new from Wunjo Bass on Denmark Street (RIP) several years ago and have used it professionally many times for musical theatre shows, cruise ships and even the occasional function gig! Piezo pickup in the bridge (which can be blended in) gives you some excellent upright bass like thump if that's what you're after. Currently strung up with some very classy (and expensive!) Thomasik-Infeld Jazz Flats 34" scale neck through 30 fret neck (not a misprint! the neck extends all the way to the neck pickup) 16.5mm string spacing 5 piece maple/bubinga neck Mahogany wing body 2 band EQ Bartolini Mk 1 pickups Aerosilk Piezo system Bass is in great condition overall but as with many used instruments the chrome on the pots is a little worn. Service and set up in Aug 2022 (including a new jack) by Nigel Martin of True Notes UK in Rye, East Sussex. You don't see these come up very often as the few people I know who have used them really like them! Selling as I'm not playing professionally any more and am moving house soon. Pickup only from Tenterden, Kent as I have no spare hard case at the moment. Price is 400 lower than Andertons are currently selling for so here's an opportunity to pick up a really versatile fretless for a seriously good price!

PRICE DROP TO £1100 For sale here is a lovely example of Nathan East's first signature bass. These were only made for a few years in the mid 90s and this particular model dates from 1995. I bought this bass just before the first lockdown so unfortunately it hasn't had anything like the playing/stage time that I would have liked! It is a truly extraordinary instrument and absolutely no expense was spared by Yamaha in the construction of these basses. The woods are all top quality (especially the stunning ebony fretboard!) The quilted maple top obviously catches the eye as well. The sound of this bass is very focused and (as you would expect from Nathan East) sounds incredible in both live and studio mixes. It's a surprisingly aggressive sound on it's own which really cuts through. Actually one of the best sounding basses with a plectrum I have ever played! The ebony board gives it a lovely top end snap for slap bass work as well. The bass is in fine condition for its age with the exception of a few dings (before my time) that I have included in the pictures. As you might expect from a 27 year old bass, the gold hardware is a little tarnished but looks phenomenal from a distance. I have replaced 3 pot knobs but will included the originals in the case. These basses really don't come up for sale often and that's because people generally hold on to them! Body: Alder Top: Quilted Maple Neck: 3 piece Maple (roughly D shape) Fretboard; Ebony (with MOP inlays) EQ: 2 band (B,T) with adjustable Mids in cavity. Nathan East EQ preset (one of the pots is 3 position. 2 positions are Mid 1 and Mid 2, the third is Nathan's own preset EQ) Weight: 4.2kg (9.25lb) Original Yamaha hard case included in sale. Pick up in person is preferred (I'm about 25/30 mins from junc. 8 of the M20 in Kent) but if you are really keen and live further afield we can discuss possible courier options. Price is £1100 (was £1200) Any questions please feel free to DM 99Bass.mp4

Price drop to £150 inc postage. A great deal!

REDUCED TO £140 INC DELIVERY Up for sale here we have the Origin condenser mic from Aston Microphones. I bought this for remote double bass recording during lockdown but have barely found use for it since. Excellent quality mic for someone looking to take their home recording setup to the next level without breaking the bank. Very versatile piece of kit. Condition is near mint. Comes with the original box and paperwork. Best price I can find online is around £220 so £175 seems very fair considering the condition. Tracked 48 delivery included in price.

Yes this was sold a little while back now. Apologies for not updating the listing.

For sale here we have a brand new and still sealed John East UNI-PRE 5 (no knobs) preamp. This was bought to upgrade a Yamaha bass of mine but unfortunately this preamp is incompatible with the specific pickups in my bass. As I'm sure most of you know, John makes some of the best preamps in the world and is a true master of his art. Had the UNI-PRE 4 preamp in a previous bass of mine and it was phenomenal. Would like to move this on reasonably quickly so am looking for £140 inc postage which is a saving of about £20 if bought directly from East UK.

Decided to part ways with my Aguilar DB 112 NT which I've owned from new. This cab is the entertainingly named 'Chocolate Thunder' colour and is the NT (no tweeter) model. Perfect for Blues/RnB/Rock and Roll etc. As you may be able to see from the pictures, this cab has definitely seen some use and unfortunately the tolex has seen some scrapes over the years. This of course does not affect the working of the cab in any way! Plugged in my Tonehammer 500 earlier today and it was sounding as good as the day I bought it. I'm pricing this at a potentially silly £300 as I am after funds for a bass build and my Barefaced Super Compact has done most of the heavy lifting amp-wise for a few years now anyway. Cosmetic scuffs aside, this is an absolutely cracking amp especially at this price. Collection only from Tenterden, Kent. (About 30 mins from junction 8 of the M20)

NOW £90 inc delivery Decided to sell my EBS Wah One pedal. Fantastic build quality and sounds as you'd expect from EBS. Seems to be quite rare as well. A quick search on this forum suggests the last one sold here was in 2012! I've included a clip of myself using the pedal (with a bit of distortion from an HX Stomp) pretending, not very convincingly, to be one of my teenage heroes, Cliff Burton. Condition is very good considering I've owned it for about 10 years. I've never used it very heavily so plenty more years left in it! Original box and papers included. Small chip at the front which is visible in the picture. Also one rubber foot seems to have vanished over the years but these were often removed as they made attaching to a pedalboard impossible. Price includes Tracked 48 delivery. KtuluBass.mp4
