Wilcock Mullarkey short scale (30" bass) in vgc £1800 - *SOLD* £1900 LONDON

[Clarky]

Wilcock Mullarkey in the classic vintage white/maple combination (as played by Tim Lefebvre, Me'Shell etc) with Dunlop flats. Still in very good 9+/10 condition. I have gigged it several times but amazingly not managed to put any scratches or dings in it that I can see. 

Weighs 7.4 pounds.

 

New these are £2650, I believe. I will let it go for £1900 delivered within UK (sorry UK sale only), or £1875 collected from a public space in SW13 London (Barnes). Will come in Fender padded short scale gig bag but will also be well wrapped in bubble wrap and cardboard.

 

Why sell if its so great? Simply put, I am going back to long scale now that my damaged left-hand has largely recovered from horse accident in 2023. I have a substantially less valuable Mustang bass as backup should the need arise for a short scale. Oh and the money would be useful! So no trades, thanks

On reflection I think I may have slightly overpriced this.

 

Firm price is £1800 collected ... plus an extra £25 for UK economy post if required

Not sure selling this is one of my better ideas so I will leave this up to the weekend and withdraw if no interest by then.

 

EDIT: On further reflection, definitely not a great idea as its a fantastic bass and I don't think having 3 basses is too many!!!!

Re-listing as needs must (expensive car bill, not covered by insurance), plus I still haven't found a new band so I don't need 4 basses (yes,I bought another since I closed the ad last time....).

 

This is a beauty and you will not regret it (I will). Now £1800 including delivery in UK (vs new cost of £2650) or will knock off £25 for collection in a public space in SW13 London

These are the best short scales I’ve tried, period. I am sorely tempted.

I was wrong, a new Mullarkey is actually £2850-2950. So £1800 for a 9/10 pre loved Mullarkey is frankly a bargain

Superb short-scale bass especially at this price!

[Clarky]

After discussion with a couple of potentially interested parties, just reaffirming that I am happy to either courier or meet in a public space in SW13 (Barnes) London. Also, I am again wondering if this is a dumb idea and I should sell another bass instead (watch this space...)
