Friend of mine had to stop playing due to arthritis, he changed his diet, lost a lot of weight and his arthritis eased right off, he's back playing again, I don't know the full ins and outs but it might be worth investigating? ...also, this is a stunning instrument!

Price drop - £145 includes UK postage Hi, I’m selling my Aguilar Octamizer version 2. Well looked after and very little use. £185 price includes UK Postage. Here’s a bit of info from Aguilar: AN ALL-ANALOG OCTAVE PEDAL THAT CREATES A WIDE RANGE OF MUSICAL SOUNDS AN OCTAVE BELOW YOUR BASS SIGNAL. Modeled with old school and new school needs in mind, the Octamizer features independent volume controls for both the Clean and Octave sounds. This makes dialing in the exact amount of each a cinch. The two discrete signal paths also have their own tone controls that were specifically designed to enhance and expand their musical possibilities. The CLEAN TONE control uses a full spectrum tilt EQ, allowing for the boosting of treble while cutting bass or boosting of bass while cutting treble. This unique circuit allows you to create a clean sound that creates an octave doubling effect or to blend the sounds together for a great thick, snarky synth tone. *Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. Proprietary detector circuit for superior tracking Continuously variable multipole low-pass filter for Octave sound Dual filter architecture Full spectrum tilt EQ for clean sound Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. Cheers! Michael

Sterling Stingray Short Scale Bass Following surgery on my fretting hand I experimented with short scale basses for 18 months to get me back playing and gigging. This Sterling Stingray was one of my favourites having owned and played both EBMM and Sterling versions. This one was put together from a couple of new basses bought from Thomann last year and modded with better quality parts. I have owned six Sterling Stingray short scales since my problems started with my left hand and apart from one with a dodgy neck that I had to get repaired they have all been superb. This one has a beautiful flamed roast maple neck with birds eye maple board. Action is low and it’s strung with D’Addario 45-100 nickels. I had my luthier put new Schallers on it as the tuners are always a weak spot with these ‘budget’ instruments. It also has a Hipshot D tuner fitted. Of course I will supply the originals should you prefer. It has a black pickguard fitted as well as the original pearl white one. It comes with a Fender gigbag and a new unopened set of D’Addarios. It is in excellent condition other than a small mark on the back of the headstock where the D tuner scuffed the finish. It is well balanced and comfy to play over long gigs. It weighs 3.7kgs. The final picture shows it alongside a full size Stingray Special. Selling as I no longer need it. The mods and extras hopefully make this a good buy for someone. It is a lovely bass and I kept it in preference over two EBMM US made short scale Stingrays. Postage in the UK will be £20 if you can’t pick it up in person. No trades and it is a UK sale only sorry.

Possible trade with MM Stingray / Dark Ray / Fretless 4?

Bump

Just picked this up, thanks I havent really pushed it to be honest but will give that a try

Great pickups, l have some on my Mexican Vintage 1957 precision!

Nope, definitely didn't come from Leicester.

These are ideal strings for a short scale danelectro — I put a set on my blueburst longhorn well over ten years ago and they still sound full and punchy.
