If you read below, it will look like I am just stringing you along with threats to send it away to bully you into making a decision. I am not; I am just incompetent and time-deaf. Most of my life is spent wondering why I don't achieve what I think I can do within the time allotted. I am just packing this now and will give it one last shout, as I will be making less by the time I have paid commission. OK. Let's get this moving otherwise I shall never be able to buy my completely over the top studio monitors for my deeply tragic late middle aged vanity recording project. I have one monthly listener on Spotify. My daughter. But I shall eventually achieve world domination. I know it. £1150 + carriage. The next chapter in the series "Why does Owen have so many basses he does not play?". (See also https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/508122-fender-usa-5-string-jazz-in-car-nitro-relic/#comment-5399519 , https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/473005-gl-clf-research-l1000-750-us-l1000-five-string-to-you-and-me-price-drop-£1200/#comment-4877658 and https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/499125-5-string-sparkly-goodness-dingwall-d-roc-content-£1200-bassbros/ ) The G&L and the Dingwall are at Bassbross by now, but I own them and would like to get them sold. Anyway, here is something you do not see every day. I was playing Ebay Roulette putting silly offers in for things. Shockingly one of them won. I no longer do this. Suddenly I was the owner of an original USA Stingray SUB. Rubbery coating and all. The bass itself was really nice but I was not digging the coating. So I had it stripped and painted in Glitter Blue (I made that colour up). Then it was lovely. Then I saw someone on here putting Wal-alike pickups in their Bongo and figured the Bongo electrics might be available. They were. I have owned several Bongos and know exactly what they can do, and I like it. So I bought the Bongo pickups and preamp and eventually had Mr Manton route it out and plumb them in. He does lovely work. Is this a very lovely thing? Yes. Yes, it is. Am I reaching for it? Nope. I seem to have settled on 33" scales for now. So this can go and be loved more somewhere else. If you are sitting there thinking "that's an idea, I will go and buy some Bongo electronics and plumb them in to my whatever" then sorry, that is not going to happen. I have seen them come up twice in MANY (no, really) years of watching. There is no way EB will sell you these. This is your only option for this flavour of thang. The original MM Serial number is in the 3rd picture so that you can see that I am not a dodgy geezer. I was going to change the EQ knobs to make it more Stingray-alike, but I decided to leave them as it is a nod to what is going on inside this machine. It comes with a D tuner as all basses should. I will not be gutted if this does not sell, but holding on to it does not make sense.

Hi guys See below awesome basses so just got one in 5 in same colour 😀 The white really pops, board is beautiful, super skinny necks and powerful humbuckers. Perfect 👌 Will post well packed to UK in thomann case (I have a few spare 😆)

For sale my Japanese ‘62 reissue Jazz Bass in Olympic White. Made in 2004/5 according to the serial number (I had it for 10 years now). Great condition for a 20 years old bass with just a couple of small marks. I’ve upgraded it with Nordstrand NJ4 (60s era / 7.25” radius) pickups (best pups known to mankind 🤪) which immensely improved the sound. I’ve also installed John East J-Retro preamp. Those upgrades are reflected in the price. The original control plate included. If you’re not a fan of active preamps I’m happy to reinstall the original plate and lower the overall price by £100. I’m based in London, E5

For sale Epiphone Jack Casady in very good condition. Nice tone and killer look but I don’t use it much as I play Jazz/Jaguar basses with narrow necks while this one although quite comfortable yet more P-bass nut width. Got GAS for something else so this one needs to go.. Comes with the original hard case.

Don't sleep on this folks - genuinely one of the best! Glwts

Having played bass (debatable, lol) now for 43 of my 57 years!! I have now owned an Overwater progress 111 (4 string 2006) for the last two years..It is quite simply my goto bass with the most versatile sound and playability!! The luthiership second to none, by Chris Mays team.. In the very fortunate position to having owned, and own some very high end basses, the Overwater is at the top. Only took me 41 years!! GLWTS of this wonderful bass 👍🙂

A D-tuner on a 5 string?! Doen't that make it an A-tuner? Either way, you're an absolute lunatic. In all seriousosity, that's a lovely Bass - all the good bits of a Bongo without the (let's be charitable and call them 'divisive') looks. Good job it doesn't have a maple neck, othersise I'd be pillaging my rainy day fund. GLWTS! Edit: 100 extra points for 'BongRay'
