I am selling a really cool and very good looking Lyle short scale 4 string electric bass. It is missing the original truss rod cover at top and the original chrome bridge cover. Sounds great!!!

The fine item you are considering is a vintage Epiphone EA-260 Bass guitar. This guitar looks solid but does have issues that will need to be addressed. The main thing is the very high action. There's some adjustment left in the bridge, but I'm not sure why the action is so high. No belly lift and the neck seems to be firmly in the pocket. There is a small crack on the body you can see on top of the neck pickup. The electronics are scratchy and only one volume knob is working. When I turn it up ... more

Fast neck. Great player. This is from the SB (Super Bass) range (77-83) though you would be hard pressed to know it from the overall condition. Other than the wear in the finish (you can see it in the pic) the bass is close to immaculate. "Bat Wing" headstock
I bought it with a gig bag & thats all I have . It was shipped to me that way . In a soft case in a guitar box stuffed with lots of cardboard & it was fine .
The body and gorgeous transmit neck still retain the factory gloss... more

I??m selling off my music gear with a heavy heart as I retire from live performance. This bass is gorgeous, with a lovely 60s tone, and in truly excellent condition for an instrument around 55 years old - I had great fun gigging it in my covers band and it never let me down once. It sounded especially good when we did the Beatles and the Monkees, but it was great on any song really. Comes with a hard case. Note that I??ve detached the pick guard because it didn??t suit my playing style, but it ... more

Made in Matsumoku JapanIt's a very rare version of the Thunder Bass, featuring a bridge pickup and a "monkey grip" cut on the body, which works very well as a thumb rest There are two cracks on the neck near the nut (see pics) but it seems to have been glued in place and it's not presenting any issues The neck pickup wasn't working properly when I got it, it was really weak and I replaced it with a Wilkinson Alnico Pbass pickup There are ... more

Very nice Japanese made vintage electric guitar, Matsumoku factory, 1984 sorta time. Been competently stained and refinished at some point a fairly long time ago, and worn in subsequently. Stock MMK pickups with coil splits on the toggles. Fingerboard freshly oiled, frets freshly polished, takes a low action great. Current amp demo guitar, probably be sorry to see it go, but I'm a bass player
Obviously this is a lump, but I can have it couriered, would massively prefer collection though. I ... more

Epiphone ET-280, made in Japan in 1972, Matsumoku factory

It is in beautiful condition, only a couple of very small cosmetic details can be seen around the body (see last couple pictures) , but it is virtually in mint condition. All frets, fretboard, neck, body, and parts in impressive condition despite being built over 50 years ago. The only bad thing is the bridge cover: it is not original, but a very similar one

It plays and sounds fantastic. Both a good player and a ... more

Vintage commodore bass guitar, made in Japan in the early 70??s by Matsumoku

It is exactly like the Epiphone EA-260 bass, except this one has a single pickup instead of the mini humbuckers used on the Epiphone. Both instruments were made in the same plant, by the same people, meaning they used the exact same body, neck, and hardware. So if you are looking for an epiphone EA-260, this could be your cheaper option.

It had a separation in the neck section of the body which was ... more
