    I’ve reached that point too. I had six at once. Down to five now and still struggling to narrow it down.

    It's sad to see any music shop go under. When ever I'm in a new town, I look up where the shops are just to have a nose,and still remember being a young'un and the excitement of looking round at all the instruments. But, to be honest, I'm a bit fed up of going in to look a shops basses to find the genetic line up of a couple of Fender player series, maybe a Cort or an Ibanez or 2. None of them anything like setup so no point trying one. Meanwhile, there's racks of different guitars on the wall. The old PMT at least had a separate room of basses to look at. The new one had about 8, with nothing worth looking at.

    Ok, so GAS has got the better of me (again) and I’ve splurged a load of cash on something else, so this is now available for £120 including UK second class delivery.

    It's sad, but it's been on the card since the original owners sold up and cashed in. My local was the OG Pmt in Southend. I went there a bit, but I was never a fan and felt dirty doing do. Something bout the way they ran the business felt off, and their face-to-face customer service left something to be desired. Not to mention some of the horror stories I'd heard about their guitar setups. I used to quite like their original tiny shop, but they got too big too quickly IMHO as the "professional" bit in their moniker went out the window and successfully put their local rivals out of business by targeting the budget end of the market. Eventually, they simply didn't stock the things I was interested in and wanted to try. When they sold the business, the original owners retained the Southend building itself and charged the new owners an extortionate amount for rent. So the new management simply closed the store. It surprised me, but to be honest I don't miss it. There's other local shops I miss more - such as Honky Tonk - who PMT effectively put out of business.

    Thank you

    You only need half of those If you got rid of everything fret wise above the octave and every part of a fret on the two treble strings, you could make it a hybrid fretted/fretless and do all the pointless noodling on the bits real bass players don’t use 👍 #joking

    Unfortunately this wasn't my experience when I was up there in November just gone. I would definitely try again though when I'm next in Nottingham.

    Played a great gig at the weekend, probably our best yet. The Thunderstangbacker sounded ace, and I love my little Eich combo!

    Struck by the number of shorties up on the For Sale section at the moment. Something for all tastes!

    A Double Six was just sold at the Gardiner Holgate auction. £550 plus 25% or so fees. https://auctions.gardinerhoulgate.co.uk/catalogue/lot/af9fe3e054d9552ea0fd7eb82ba5736b/63b778f7668dabe928d3800924a99077/the-guitar-sale-five-day-auction-including-the-gord-lot-187/ Fixed bridge though.

    For me it's not the sites for new gear that have killed them off. It's the massive saturated market for second hand gear. Right on your doorstep. You can literally get anything you want for a fraction of the price, and if you can't, it's only a short wait and/or travel until you do.

    I would have thought that most of the reasons would cause the other strings to be out too, unless there is something actually wrong wiht that string. I would certainly swap it with another one before looking for any other permenant change. What sort of level of flat are we talking?

    Thanks guys. It's definitely not just another Jazz.

    Thanks @bigthumb, it really is a beauty and a proper professional finish, and now playing much better. If you don't mind a higher action than 2.5-3mm I really don't think you would need to do anything to it. But it deserves the love of someone. I put 3 years into this bass project and would love to see it played by a new owner.
