    This is a bit of a feeler as I've only recently picked this up from Manu Berdin in a trade. Unfortunately I'm looking for something to string E-C and whilst this is an amazing bass in all respects it's not working for me tonally in the upper register despite a few different string types and set ups. I've restrung it back B-G and it works much better but I'm just not getting a warm glow that this will work for me in the longer term. Open minded regarding where this goes. Sale wise I'm after £1,200 as this is what I put into the trade with Manu, trade wise it needs to be a 6 or 5 that will work with the tuning I've described - I'm already good for old school so looking for something modern. It's also possible that I might just need to hold onto the Stam as it's a true beaut in all respects - perhaps the tone will grow on me. I've added some quick pics taken today plus here is a link to Manu's post (hope you don't mind Manu) which contains the detailed spec for the bass as well as some additional pictures. The bass is also featured on the Stam website if you're interested. TKL hardcase is included.

    Arpi sent me a couple of clips of this - looks and sounds great. Unfortunately I can't move on it right now or I would but someone is going to be very happy with this. Mustard bridge pickup sound - maple and aguilar.... nice

    Great bass, the early ones are really nice. Very close to the JP tone with little fiddling. Not many around in this colour and it looks in great nick, super start to the year for someone (with groats to spare)

    Still a nice bass. One of the few signatures that comes pretty close to the artists sound without having to faff a lot. Bebop licks not included in either model though..... Brrrrmp

    Think there's a functional bit and an aesthetic bit. in my experience 2k lets you cover the first really well, the rest is icing on the cake. All subjective though....

    IF you did it, which seems unlikely, what would you actually gain. It must be easier to simply switch the neck or the bass? Don't close any doors you don't have to close etc... ??

    Recently picked one of these up from Moos3h - great basses. A very good way to go for the money if you're looking for a modern J. Hardware and spec very good indeed with some really nice sounds. I just don't need two Bob! Bump for your sale, someone will snap this up soon

    Totally agree with the comments about technique, damage etc. Be warned!! Coming from bass guitar if you go for your finger ends you can expect them to quickly blister and the ends to drop off. You need to get some meat behind those strings! For me the upright is just a completely different instrument. If feels different, responds differently and makes you think about what to play in completely different ways to bass guitar. Gear is a real red herring, the sound is ultimately in your hands far more so that bass guitar and it can be really difficult working out how to get a good stage sound. DB seems to be more vunerable to poor rooms, positioning etc so it's aways worth keeping that in mind. Slam dunk it's great to try before you commit but in my experience you will need to invest a fair bit of yourself in DB before you can really work out if it's for you. It's also worth considering that it's a difficult bugger to play at first, not helped by the fact that a cheap starter instrument will demand far more from you to make it work. The physical relationship between you and the bass is massive in comparison to DB. A better quality bass will sing better and do more for you however this could run you some serious folding by which time you've probably worked a lot of this out for yourself.... Bottom line whatever your motivation it's well worth a look. DB opens up loads of musical opportunities for you and it's a massively fulfilling instrument once you've aligned yourself with it. Best of luck

    I used to have a 6 string version of this bass, different body woods though. The LP pickups were fantastic and I regret letting it go. Nice bass Black Eyes, sure someone will want to give it a good home.
