Those wenge necks are brilliant, far better than you'd expect for the price.

Don't do fretless myself an rubbish enough with frets! However I am on my way to look at the same Yamaha trb1005 (spotted on reverb) which seems cheap / good value @ £300 Inc abs case and a strap. so much for no more basses, already picked up a ultra cheapYamaha beater for a downtuned 4 str with the rotosound hawser strings as well........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JottoSW1 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 https://photos.app.goo.gl/9wLuVU8bRnGXvBLk8 Grabbed it, have copied the Reverb photo, will post my own tomorrow. Immaculate, pretty to look at and a lovely low B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyJ Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Affordable '77 Fender Musicmaster, because of some mods, partially undone again: https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/left-handed-1977-fender-musicmaster-bass/1404337879 Has had an extra pickup at some point, but the hole has been refilled and the bass has been crudely refinished in spraycan-black. The original Strat pickup was replaced with a vintage SCPB / Telecaster Bass pickup. Looks like a fun player, after some work! For starters, I would order a new pickguard and fix the alignment of that pickup, which is considerably wider than the original Strat pickup and doesn't line up well below the E-string.

The only honest advert I've seen on Gumtree. Could be a lovely little bass but I don't have the skills to do it justice, sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Same here, plus I don't have the cash at the moment. I would have to pay import duties and European VAT too I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Ibanez Roadstar II just appeared on ebay in London, looks like an OK price. *I have no connection to the seller, the item, I was not at the Capitol riots, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Interesting looking Yamato lefty on ebay now. 300 quid, looks in good condition from the pics. I'd be tempted if I hadn't had my fingers burned so many times recently from buying second hand basses that need more work than I realised! I might be learning my lesson...

uk_lefty Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 We stone spectrum DX on ebay. A bit pricey at £250 especially for the condition but anything under or around £200 would be a great deal IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Burns on ebay.. I have now learned my lesson. I DO NOT have the skill, tools or time to restore a vintage guitar. So I will not be bidding! Still, looks lovely. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BURNS-BALDWIN-VISTASONIC-BASS-LEFT-HANDED-/154527983370?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineweasel Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Be interesting to see what that Burns goes for. It doesn't look like it needs much work, and people ask quite a bit for decent examples, e.g https://notomguitars.com/products/1964-burns-vista-sonic-bass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Monster Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Anyone interested or been looking for Rickenbacker 4003, have noticed that PMT currently have left handed ones advertized on sale for under £1900 on their website. Still a lot of dough, but compared to the usual prices of RIC's, is decent and tempting. https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/rickenbacker-4003-left-handed-electric-bass-mapleglo Know that for lot of people, having one of these is a bucketlist bass, so thought would mention it. TBH, if I had the means at the moment I'd be seriously tempted (and kinda still am), but after doing some serious soul searching, personally I really can't justify it with everything else going on atm.
