I bought this Indonesian Tribute version of the Fallout bass and really like it - so much so I’m going to buy the US version. As a result I’m selling this one, it’s the rarer black and rosewood finish version - short scale 30” but proportioned more like a full scale bass. It’s a good weight at 4.2kgs and well balanced. Still retains the plastic on the guard. Plays well with the factory set up and strings - though I’d probably buy a heavier gauge to improve string tension. Great sounding pickup and very resonant. Some minor factory imperfections highlighted on the pics. Can post in the UK only. No trades sorry. Great short scale bass at a decent price. Near new condition.

I bought this recently but the smaller body proportions don’t work for me so I’m going the G&L route. It’s in near new condition some tiny blemishes but nothing major think lightly used bass. This is the sought after ‘dropped copper’ finish and maple combo. It’s very light weight and fast and easy to play, some small mods. I added a removable thumbrest which allows you to play in the Precision position, strap locks have been fitted and it comes with a quality strap. No trades, U.K. post only at buyers cost.

Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Short-scale Bass Guitar USA Bought very recently from a fellow Basschat forum member and selling at what I purchased it for. This beautiful short-scale version of the StingRay bass has a roasted maple neck and fingerboard and passive pickup. It has a 30” scale and smaller body which makes it light and easy to play. It weighs under 7lbs and is in near mint condition with original case and tools. I bought it to help with issues with my fretting hand however I find I’m happier with my old Mustang bass. This bass was produced in limited quantities in this size and finish, it’s a beautiful instrument and rare in the U.K. you can see the barcode sticker on the back so new it hasn’t been removed! Lots of reviews and information on the internet. No trades or offers sorry. U.K. only, pickup preferred but I will post at buyer’s cost. From Ernie Ball - The Ernie Ball Music Man Short Scale StingRay bass offers a big thumpy round sound in a convenient smaller package. A 30” scale allows for easier playability due to the shorter spacing between the frets. The Ernie Ball Music Man passive humbucking pickup, equipped with higher output neodymium magnets, has been specially designed for the short scale bass, providing its signature warm tone. Electronics package includes a 3-way rotary switch featuring parallel, true single-coil, and series modes. Like its big brother the Stingray Special, the short scale bass comes standard with a modern classic bridge, 22 stainless steel frets, and new lightweight Music Man tuning machines with a finer gear ratio.

I think I know what you mean! 😉 The colour is pretty accurate, it’s a pleasant tortoiseshell not too harsh - classic modern(ish) Fender

Markbass passive DI box designed specifically for bass - purchased for using with a vintage valve amp in the studio but not used. Some cosmetic wear from being in my spares bag but otherwise excellent. Postage will be £4.

Tortoiseshell plate in excellent condition. Some surface scratches but no cracks or deep scratches. Genuine Fender US scratchplate. Postage will be £4.

As it says on the tin - great condition comes with mounting screws - these are a bit worn. Posted for £3

Correct! 😉

This bass has served me well, a real work horse, comfortable to play and sounds great. The classic black and maple combo. It has been regularly gigged and as such has some scrapes to the back and blemishes and a couple of dings on the back of the neck and headstock. Nothing structural or major just honest play and gig wear. Frets are in good condition and the neck is straight with a working truss-rod. It has the original truss-rod tool and Allen key in the case pocket with the owners booklet and inspection tag. There is a service note from Jack’s instrument repairs of Manchester. It had a replacement bone nut fitted some years ago and the S1 switch circuit was replaced with a normal pot - the S1 switch and original knobs are included. It weighs 4.4kgs and is well balanced. The case is worn and has stickers on it, the cloth tags that keep the case open at right angles have become detached although it still works and it even has its original key! I have used this bass exclusively for some time however owing to an issue with my fretting hand I have had to switch to short scale basses and have invested in an expensive shorty! Reluctantly this has to go. No trades sorry. The bass is for sale in the U.K. only. I’d rather it be picked up but I can post at your cost. I will of course entertain sensible offers.
