  1. I have a sub-7lbs TM5 Superlight which is a fabulous instrument. The only downside is that the soft body wood picks up marks easily.
  2. A lot of people seem to think this is the case but according to the the original Stingray manual both controls are boost and cut: http://www.musicmanbass.global/1978-hangtag-manual/
  3. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  4. It’s the best left handed selection from Fender that I can remember. Choices at all price levels with some interesting colours available too. A five string option would be welcome.
  5. Boss OC5 pedal, never gigged and as new in box. Price include UK postage.
  6. Way Huge Pork Loin overdrive pedal, used but in excellent condition. Boxed, no velcro. Price include UK postage.
  7. Aguilar Octamizer for sale, used but in excellent condition. Boxed, no velcro. This is the later model that can take right angled jacks. Price includes UK postage.
  8. I have a TM5 Superlight, weighing just under 7lbs. Neck dive isn’t a problem for me. On a strap it balances very well; sitting on my knee it’s slightly neck heavy, like most other Fender type designs. String spacing is adjustable from 18 to 19.5mm.
  9. Hardly "mass produced". Electric Wood never had more than a handful of employees, and for most of their history only one or two. I bet production never exceeded 10 a week even at their peak in the 80s.
  10. They are relatively rare. And crucially, you can't just "buy one right now". The order book is closed, there's a four year wait for those with orders, and the new price started at around £6000 the last time I looked. Scarcity is driving up used values.
  11. Sandberg California Central? Bridge spacing is adjustable from 18 to 19.5mm.
  12. 1966 spec Jazz Bass: https://www.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/jazz-bass/american-vintage-ii-1966-jazz-bass-left-hand/0190180805.html
  13. Offered for sale are my TKS S112 cabs, one with a tweeter, one without. They are in excellent condition and supplied with TKS padded covers. I’ve had these for about 5 years and used to gig with them regularly, but I’m playing ampless these days, so they are surplus to requirements, sadly. They’re 8 ohm cabs handling 250w each and pair nicely with a 500w head (I used a Tone Hammer 500) to deliver a lovely tone, leaning slightly to old-school warmth but with plenty of clarity. The tweeter lets you dial in extra crispness if you need it. They look fabulous too, with the optional V-frame making them stand out. They’re also compact and lightweight at approx. 10kg each. TKS cabs have been unavailable for a few years, the company seemingly moribund, so these are hard to find. You can however still check the specs at https://tks.se I would much prefer to sell as a pair. UK postage is possible as I have boxes (cost to be determined), or they can be collected from St Albans, Hertfordshire.
  14. Yes indeed, I have a One 10 and I would happily take it on the bus or tube (it's 7kg). You can slip a micro head in your gig bag and have a great setup that will easily cover practise sessions and even small gigs.
  15. I bought spares for my Stingray bridge from https://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/ a few years ago. They were the UK distributor for EBMM at the time. Worth an email?
  16. Conversely "Rain", often cited as an example of McCartney's most nimble playing, was slowed down dramatically for release
  17. It's interesting that the Stingray 5, one of the most definitive and popular fives and in production since the late 80s, has exactly this issue.
  18. Maybe worth asking @blablas as he’s done a lot of Shorty customisations, for example
  19. Sandbergs are adjustable, from 18 to 19.5mm. Lovely basses and generally lightweight too.
  20. The two minor hardware improvements are USB-C charging, and physical volume control buttons. Both nice to have but not essential.
  21. I’ve used quite a few headphone systems over the years and my current favourite is the Nux Mighty Plug. Very convenient, good sounds, battery lasts for ages, and you can play along with any audio you fancy played from your phone over Bluetooth.
  22. Very nice. I saw that on Instagram and wondered if it was going to someone here.
  23. These are excellent Precisions. I’ve strung my 2013 through body with both Dunlop and TI Jazz flats with no issues, but I think you need to be careful with LaBellas. They make a special set for through body so make sure you get those.
  24. I’ve had my TH500 for around 8 years. It’s used several times a week with no problems so far.
