Bassnut62

Sold for £795. This is a classic and highly collectible Japanese guitar from the 70s, known as the Les Paul killer and favoured by many greats over the years. The SG1000 is the set neck version of the Santana guitar designed with Carlos himself in the early 70s. The SG1000 has sustain that lasts forever and wonderful tone, courtesy of it beefy Alnico V hum-bucking pickups, which have push/push coil taps on the tone controls, to give it even more tonal range. This guitar adapts well to any playing style from Rock to Jazz, to Soul to Funk, to Reggae to Punk. It has been professionally re-fretted recently with period correct fret-wire and plays very well indeed with a nice low and clean action. The guitar comes in a Hiscox case designed to fit this exact instrument. The whole guitar has seen some action and acquired a nice patina over the years. It is a testament to the quality of these early Yamahas that it is in such good working order. This instrument is available to view at Nottingham City Guitars.

Ultra cool looking & sounding Jazz Bass, as interpreted by German maker Sandberg, whose instruments are hand crafted & finished to an amazing high quality. This is the highest spec Deluxe version of this great bass. It plays beautifully and has a has a nice slim fast neck, reminiscent of a Precision Bass tapering to a Jazz Bass neck at the nut end. The neck has a very comfortable and smooth gun oil finish. The pick ups are full rich & clear sounding Italian Delanos, with a single coil Jazz pup in the neck position and a hum-bucking MusicMan soapbar pup in the bridge position. The MM soapbar has a coil tap to split it and run as a single coil Jazz bass pup too. The bass can be run in active or passive mode and sounds great in both. The two tone controls cut tone when in passive mode and can both cut and boost tone in active mode. The bass is finished in gleaming black with a matching headstock and has a silver-grey pearloid scratch-plate; this combination makes this bass an absolute stunner that looks as good as it plays. It comes in its original Sandberg soft case, with hangtags and original tools and is in excellent condition; it is a one-owner instrument. This Sandberg California 4-string Dekuxe Jazz Bass is available to view at Nottingham City Guitars. Collection is preferred; but shipping by courier could be arranged by buyer at their own cost and risk. PM me with your email address and I will send you more photos.

Price Drop....now open to offers over £3,250 for a quick sale for cash. This is a genuine Pre-CBS Fender bass, which I have owned since 1995. It is Lake Placid Blue with a white (now mint green) pick-guard and Brazilian rose wood finger board on a maple neck with clay dots. It has been refinished, probably a very long time ago, possibly in the 1970s. The refin was done to a very high standard with period-correct lacquer and colouration. It has since aged nicely. The original spaghetti logo is present & correct. When I bought the bass I had it completely taken apart to check the originality of everything. The neck is stamped 5 Jul 1963 C for the neck profile which is comfortable and typical of a vintage Precision. Even the thin vintage frets appear to be original. The body is swamp ash and is therefore relatively light; it has the bump under the neck socket, clay dots on the board and a strap button behind the headstock, as original P basses of ths era should. I am told the original pots are present and correct, but the wires have been replaced. The internal part of the input jack socket has been replaced. The pick ups are the original ones and the bass sings with a beautiful warm woody tone. The truss rod moves freely and does its job. The vintage frets are good. The bass currently has a nice medium low action and it could probably go even lower if required. The pick up and bridge covers are modern; however I had them aged by a professional restorer, so they look right on the bass. The case is a modern Fender hard-shell case. This is a 99% original 1963 Pre-CBS Fender Precision Bass, apart from the case and ashtrays. The bass sounds great in any musical setting from Rock to Jazz, to Soul to Funk, to Reggae to Punk and always cuts through the band. I have the orginal receipt from when I bought it in '98 from Musical Exchanges in Birmingham and a certificate of authenticity from Phil Boot, who was a legendary expert on old instruments and a great guitar tech in these parts. Phil reckoned this was a very good and authentic bass indeed with an excellent refin; and he should know, having sourced guitars for the likes of Brian May and Angus Young. Cash on collection is preferred; but shipping by courier could be arranged by buyer at their own cost and risk. PM me with your email address and I will send you more photos. I am looking for sales only, please; as this bass needs to fund a guitar purchase. Thanks.

I can vouch for Cloff and this pedal. Cloff is a sterling gent and the Antdroid is an eccentric and wonderful pedal that everybody should own at some stage in their musical life. Hours of fun can be had exploring the mad mind of the Antdroid and some very cool effects can be found that you would probably never dream up on your own.
