GLWTS "...but you can call me Toby, if you like."

They're also wonderful to play. After playing my '87 JD Thumb, I just had to have it, even though it cost about six times what I got for my tatty Precision in part exchange.

It’s definitely the lightest stingray 5 that I’ve ever played!

Owned from new for around 12yrs, I bought this from Thomann and had it set up for Rockabilly. It definitely feels a step up from the entry level basses and I have used it live a lot. Most of its life has been more of feature in my living room though. The last couple of years I have been coming to terms with the fact that I need to sell it. Space is at a premium, it rarely gets used and I am of an age where the EUB seems the easier option. The specs are here Thomann link if anyone is interested. I added a pickup which has been useful - a David Gage Realist. People often call it a copper head. They’re industry standard and normally about £120 used. Mine is included with the bass at no extra cost to you. There is a tatty (by my high standards) gig bag and the strings are currently Gut-A-Like vintage ones Gut A Like strings You’ll see I added a few stickers. These should be fairly easy to remove. I’m happy to do it, or I can leave it. Equally I am happy to add more pictures. It’s currently lent against the wall in my place in Hungerford, where I am Sunday to Thursday evenings. Postage looks too hard to do so it would be a collection. I have gotten it in a Peugeot 107 before - not comfortably, so perhaps don’t bring the family if collecting!

I’m a big fan of Boss pedals and have just re-done my board. I went a bit mad recently and have a fair few that are surplus to my requirements. All are boxed (initially the OC3 was listed as unboxed but I have since found the box) and only the super overdrive has Velcro on the bottom. I would grade these as at least 9/10 in terms of condition. Prices include UK postage. Boss Octave OC3 - £85 Boss Tuner TU3 - £70 Boss Super Chorus CH1 - £75 Boss Super Overdrive - £60 Boss Bass Overdrive - £80 I looked around online and believe these are priced to sell. Check my feedback thread and buy with confidence. PayPal or balance transfer preferred.

These are great and I am only selling as I just upgraded to the BCB-90x. It’s set up with the daisy chain all in place. You just need to add your pedals and patch cables. Cut for six Boss sized pedals. Price includes UK postage. Check my feedback and buy with confidence. PayPal or bank transfer preferred.

Just the delay pedal left now.

Well where do we start? Bought locally from someone who had thought that they would do this the Jaco way but ran out out talent and chickened out after the fret removal stage. As you can see they didn’t make a complete pigs ear of it. i thought it would be a good little project to complete in my spare time. Of which recently I’ve come to learn I simply don’t have enough of to realistically finish . Also I was humbled by my experience and leaning that being a half reasonable fretless player requires an amount of patience that I simply don’t possess. ( apparently living down the road from where Mr Palladino grew up helps very little I’ve been told. It’s not in the water as some would have you believe. it has a new set of Johnny Brook round wounds 40-100 strings , so that’s nice. Perfectly adequate strings but not cork sniffing expensive. One could always refret it of course but that’s way above my skill set. its not without war wounds( Mojo ) i think people pay extra for that in some circles but ill forgo that surcharge seeing as you’re here. Equally the after market scratchplate isn’t a perfect fit but worth having for the value of the bonkers crop circles alone! I've highlighted the dings in the photos its a lovely bass and apart from the fact that the last owner was a lefty and saw fit to drill a couple of holes where they shouldn’t be( there’s filler for that if it bothers you) and I took the liberty of foil shielding the cavities. We all know how noisy things can get on a jazz when pups get solo’d, what I’ve done hopefully minimises the racket. In one of the photos you’ll see I ran a brass braid from the bridge pickup to the control panel. Far shorter than the Leo way which ran to the bridge if memory serves. Period accurate three point neck fixing completes the 70’s aesthetic. It’s not a total boat anchor at 4.1 KG / 9.1 lbs but it’s no stick bass either. Happy to meet up in Cardiff/ Barry environs or post at buyers cost( I have packaging. Any queries let me know!
