Thanks they are fantastic basses, very reluctant to sell it, one of the best fender jazz basses that I have played

Man you are so fast. I was looking for it flats as well. 🙈😢

I am selling two lightly used Thomann E-Bass Case ABS hard cases. They are not brand new, but they are well kept and, if anything, gently seasoned by travel. They look like this: https://www.thomann.co.uk/thomann_ebasscase.htm They are objects of a certain quiet seriousness: rectangular, black, unpretentious, built not to impress but to endure. They have travelled London to Dublin, Dublin to Liverpool, back again, and eventually home to London – companions to the small upheavals of rented flats and changing postcodes. They have waited in hallways while keys were located, leaned against unfamiliar walls, and rested in the polite half-light of rehearsal rooms. They have crossed thresholds more often than stages, and have done so without complaint. What they have not known is neglect. No airline conveyor belts, no rain-lashed festival fields, no catastrophic encounters with gravity. They have been carried, not thrown. They have been closed with intention, never slammed. They have performed the humble but essential task of containment. Cosmetically, they are in very good condition. I cannot see any scratches on the shells. Along the seam – where the two halves meet – I may have placed a strip of paper tape as a precaution, simply to avoid cosmetic rubbing over time. It was a preventative gesture rather than a response to damage, and it has done its quiet job. Underneath, all is as it should be. Inside, the plush black lining is soft and reassuring, the padded neck support steady, the internal compartment ready for cables, tuners, and the small debris of musical life. They fit most standard electric bass shapes (and then some) comfortably and offer that rare and civilised sensation of closure – the knowledge that something fragile has been properly enclosed, making their bearer slightly less anxious about gravity and door frames Retail is around £69 each; I am asking £80 (somewhat negotiable) for the pair, which strikes me as fair. I now possess all the cases I require – indeed, according to my partner, I have surpassed that threshold and entered surplus. These two stand in the corner like retired sentinels: still capable, faintly dignified, waiting for reassignment. There is something almost unjust in their idleness. Tools such as these are meant to move, to accompany, to guard. They deserve another instrument to protect, another set of hands to lift them, another series of staircases and train platforms to traverse. They deserve to close once more around wood and wire and quiet intention. Ideally, they will be spared the frequency of house moves that marked their first chapter, though they have proven themselves equal to the task. If your bass is currently entrusted to a soft gig bag and optimism, this is your moment to upgrade its existential security.

They do heaps of colour options and lifetime warranty

I'll take all of these.

What a beaut! Off topic question, what cable is that seafoam green?

Looks just like my old one,it was a lovely bass. GLWTS

Thanks, but I wasn't really able to find anything (eBay, etc) to base my pricing on, other than what I paid for it over ten years ago. Too late to change my mind now, just happy to move it on to a good home.

Sorry but I don't have a suitable box, and unless I can get to a bike shop (my usual way of blagging a box big enough), I can't easily get hold of one. I have a busy week ahead but maybe at the weekend I'll look into getting hold of a box big enough...

I don’t think the fret lacquer cracking is uncommon, I had it on my old Streamline. Never got any worse or peeled. GLWTS.
