Sorry, I am like a cracked record here. It is a flightcase. There is no need to pack it. Let the couriers do their worst. Let them see it as a challenge. It will hurt them more than it will hurt the flightcase.

Sadly I have not had time to check the finish/damage at the rear, but the large specs of dust can be wiped away.

When asked to list my hobbies, I include "Collecting projects".

We are all here together to enjoy these beautiful instruments. Would never want to be dishonest about a bass. I do think the neck is fixable, and as it sits now the action could go a bit higher which might sort it out. If I had the time I'd get it looked at, but 2 year old twins and hobbies don't mix.

I bought this new and enjoyed it but time to move it on. Gibson Les Paul Jnr double cutaway reissue, bought in 2019. Short scale, mahogany slab body, weighs in at nice and light 3.3kg. 40mm at the nut, 18mm string spacing. Very good nick, tiny surface scratch on the back of the upper horn that I couldn't get to show in a picture. Some scratches on the, erm, scratch plate. Couple of teeny ghost marks from a previously fitted Hipshot Supertone bridge. Otherwise in really good nick for a heavily used bass. Single pickup with coil tap gives a decent range of tones - the positioning makes it less muddy than, say, an EB-0. Lightweight USA Hipshot tuners were standard. Fitted with TI Flats and currently set up at my usual agricultural 2.5mm at the 12th on the E. Comes with a Gator guitar hard case that fits like a glove along with birth certificate and a few other bits of junk that came with it. Giveaway price of £550 collection only from Benfleet in Essex, 20 mmins east of the Dartford crossing along the A13. Please, no offers and no trades.

I don't often these days suffer a chin-drop when clapping eyes first time on a bass. But that's quite something. GLWTS. P

2011 G&L Tribute SB-2. The main thing about these that people have an issue with are the Vol-Vol controls and no Tone, although you could twiddle about with them to have an impact on tone..... apparently. I was bored one day so decided to change the controls to concentric stacked controls for each pickup so each one has Vol-Tone (like what you'd get on a Flea Jazz or a 61 Jazz, copy, reissue or original). The MFD pickups are both very high output as you'd expect and given the neck p-pickup is a four-wire, more tinkering can be done with it 🙂 Weighs in at 9.2lb. No hard case but might be able to find a basic gig-bag for it. It's seen better days cosmetically as it was a working bass and the body needed buff up to get it glossy again. Having said that, you can still see the very fine lines and wear on the lacquer surface. Has a few dinks here and there too, but given it was used well, as it should be, and not sat in a room it has the marks you'd expect to see. I also didn't scratch off the 'Tribute' part of the decal, by the way. Despite any cosmetic issues that some people may have it plays great and is all set up with 100-45 rounds and good to go. Frets levelled, not that they needed much work on them, and as seems to be the case with Tributes, a bass shim is in the neck pocket to offer more play at the bridge rather than the saddles being almost sat flat down. Can post if need be.
