    You have misunderstood our posts. It is good that you have responded to the suggestions positively - albeit reluctantly and sarcastically. They are normal requirements when trying to sell something of this vintage or value. You now have a chance of selling your wonderful looking bass. Good luck.

    I guess we’re seeing the modern bass player mutate into something as this super processed sound is really synth like. The phrasing all sounds like Stevie Wonders left hand - and that’s not a bad thing! Personally, I find it’s over produced, far too busy and the track is soulless-soul Muzak. (I think the same about Jacob Collier to be honest.) But that’s my personal taste. He seems like a lovely guy and I imagine would smash any gig.

    If you are into tinkering, use a rotary switch to get options like in Kubicki Ex-Factor: OFF/STAND-BY/ON... but like passive/active...

    Vintage 1980's Westone Thunder 1A Active Electric Bass from Matsumoku Factory, Japan - Fretless. Manufactured between 1981 and 1989. Serial number 4071308 Check out the Westone website as it holds useful information. Different eras of this iconic bass but otherwise very much the same instrument (other than being fretless + active). This f/less bass has been converted from an originally fretted bass. There are the usual signs of pitting/wear to the original metallic hardware (SEE PHOTOS). Pots run smooth with no crackle currently when played. Knobs pitted and aged. There are signs of surface scratching and small dings etc. as photographed. instrument has a basic, somewhat tatty, generic hardcase. Price includes UK 24/48h courier delivery

    I haven't. I think by the time I have purchased pots and wiring, had them delivered, soldered them all together, it would just be quicker and just as expensive to fit the pre-amp, which would only require soldering the existing barrel jack in.

    @warwickhunt I get what you're saying about the different ways of fingering, I'd simply never considered it.

    Imagine placing the pad of your finger on the 'bass' string; to play the octave strings (which are much thinner) you need to apply sufficient pressure past the point of contact with the bass string to get the octave strings to fret. When the octave strings are below the bass string you need to rotate your finger slightly in/under toward by bending your knuckle joint down, whereas if the octave strings are above, you roll your finger tip over the bass string a little... much more natural to do the latter. It's something which you never need to think about if you've ever played a 12 string acoustic guitar because the string thickness in pairs is the same or very similar.

    I’ve played one, it was far better at being a bass than I was at playing it

    I'm still waiting to see how the M6-6 comes out. The P6-5 above is a neat looking instrument, for an FSO.

    As someone who's never played a 12, the order of the strings was something I'd never considered, either tonally or playing feel. Interesting, thanks guys. Sidebar comment: I'd love a 12 with a 6x2 arrangement.
