Really nice Lee, sorry to hear you’re having to sell 🫤

Very nice

Bindingo exotica!

Hello

whilst in a gotoh box these are not gotohs, they came off my limelight jazz- I replaced them purely because I didn’t get on with the reverse wind 

aged nickle, all working nice and smooth, set of 4 inline 

screws and ferrule things included and in the box

And that is the reddest red. 100% red (I checked and that’s all the red)

love it

Standard 4 string 5 hole fender replacement, fch version

used but only a bit, very good but I prefer not having to lock everything down….

95 new by the looks of it so 50 plus postage?

no body screws btw but everything else intact, shiny and smooth

This looks amazing! I’m looking for a lightweight 5-string. How heavy is it exactly?

hiya, 8lb 6 or about 3.8 kg matey

It's branded Kliq Pete, although I've got a few others branded as Aircell

Basically a neoprene strap with air pockets built in. There are quite a few variants on the market these days, I've found them to be really comfortable

If only I could play! 🎹 

Yamaha TRBX605FM in amber tint.

Stunning at this price point. The bass is really well put together, functions with no issues at all, tuners, bridge, truss rod all beautifully operational. Is essentially a brand new bass, condition is excellent. Body is lightweight, well balanced and smooth contours on the heal. Overall it's a very well designed and put together instrument, perhaps given the Yamaha and TRB legacy more generally that's not surprising.

The bass has been further upgraded by the addition of Aguilar DCBs and an East unipre (5 knobber with active/passive switch).

I only purchased this week from Happypants as I was curious to try something I could tune E-C. It works brilliantly in this regard however the neck is not really what I want for this and I know ultimately it's not a keeper. I am becoming a neck snob as my years advance it seems.

Pictures are current with TI Flats on but I'll restring with the original B-G rounds and undo the very minor adjustment I made on the bridge so it's restored as a more conventional 5 string. Also included is the original Yamaha pickups and preamp in case you wanted to fully restore it and reuse the East/DCBs... potential bargain right there some might say 🙂

No case but Happypants packed the bass well (thank you again matey, BC kudos!). Alternatively I am selling a Gator gig big which could be included in the deal if helpful.

Wonderfulness

my back says no though (very much at the stage where my body and I disagree on most things)

Glwts, classic

What is this thing and what does it do??? 
 

Very nice. Any chance of some more shots of the bass please? 
 

Aka basschat Frankie Vaughan 😁

As new, used once.

Very nice bag, decent padding and support etc. carrying straps fold away when not in use. Which is nice.

£75 posted or a bit cheaper if you want to collect. Cheapest I could find online was 117…

Brilliant! Well done for making this 😃

The tone might not be fab but I bet it does a terrific version of brick in the wall by Floyd

gentlemen start your engines…

A thing of beauty no doubt 

Man alive that is a total spunker 

Hi matey - I was going to ask re the Sadowsky EQ as well. Can you confirm what the controls are now please? is the VTC version?

Final bump, bass will go to the gallery on Monday 

much love

In answer to the questions:

1 Kind of. I think the pickups are now wired in parallel but were originally series, so this gives a slightly different flavour. Also both pickups are slightly further back than a regular jazz spacing (perhaps the rear is closer to 70s) so not quite the jazz sound but close overall.

2 I don't know, but I think it might be New Jazz Hybrid. I've got a feeling I tried a white one of these in the gallery and Martin may have mentioned it then.... Or I could just be imagining that.... It would make sense as most of the bass is a kind of evolution of a regular jazz

Hope that's helpful

Hello fella!

possible, did you end up with an 6er of mine at one stage….?

Hello all.

This is wonderful - feels and looks fantastic. I picked it up from Steff last year, great bass but simply not using it. Most of my gigs these days are either DB or P bass with flats, I've used this on a few function style gigs and it truly kicks like a mule

Specs:

Top - Claro Walnut 

Body - Ash with Bubinga tone block

Neck - Flamed Maple and Purpleheart

Fretboard - Curly Bubinga 

Pickups - Kent Armstrong 

Preamp - Noll 3 band with semi-parametric mid sweep. 
24 Fret 

34” Scale 

18mm string spacing 

Weight is around 4.1-4.2kg 

Dadarrio nickel XLs

Condition is excellent - a few very minor dings as you might expect

Hope you don't mind Steff but I've included a few of your photos as they are much better than mine! Also, no pen and paper to hand this morning so I have enlisted the help of a lego robot to evidence ownership.

I will most likely take the bass down to the gallery fairly soon, back to it's spiritual home. Posting here to see if there is any interest before I do so.

Open to trades - yes, and happy to consider anything of comparable quality. The price is the price though.

Shipping is an option in which case I'll include a Sadowsky gig bag.

Cheers,

Abd

Thanks guys, looks lovely but I must resist!!!

Great pedal and totally agree re blending. Never sure why that was not a feature of the pedal….

Wonderful I absolutely love this 

very nice

I had a 5 string version for a while - it does take a little bit of figuring out but once done this is the closest thing (at the moment) to 'proper' control of a synth with a bass. The key thing to get your head around imo is that synths work differently to basses so you can't necessarily expect to control them using a bass string and get the same outcome.

If you are into or using synths though well worth checking out. Not sure about yours James but mine worked really nicely as a regular bass as well
