  1. No case, sorry. Weight is medium (so helpful, I know, but I have no scales), balance is perfect, no dive at all.
  2. It's a great bass, Phil, and I'm sorry to be passing it on so quick. I wanted a piezo fretless with an eq. My main bass is a completely wonderful Firecreek piezo only, wired straight to the jack. I go through bouts of wanting to vary it's tone, but the Yamaha just reminded me how wonderful the Firecreek's core tone is, and the Yamaha is just suffering in comparison. That said, it is a great looking, and great sounding instrument, and the next owner will really enjoy it
  3. I have a wonderful Ibanez Portamento throughneck, and I love everything about it except the finish on the back of the neck- I think they call it Cappucino, it wasn't too bad when it 2as satin, but use has turned it glossy- me no like. It has a nice maple/bubinga neck, so my question is just this- is there anything better than sandpaper for taking off this finish? Ideally something I could paint on at night, and in the morning it's perfectly clean and bare... Here's hoping
  4. Bought this very recently from Phil Ward of this parish. It's a great bass, but clearly not for me. Below is the original sale thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/265853-yamaha-bex-4-fretless-now-sold/page__p__2834886__hl__yamaha%20bex__fromsearch__1#entry2834886"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2834886[/url] Still in the same condition- the only change is I've shimmed the neck to lower the action. Interested in trades for a 4 string fretless, plus or minus cash, or for sale delivered at £350. Thanks for looking. [attachment=200220:post-541-0-20954200-1436897665_thumb (1).jpg]
  5. Any more info?
  6. Just bought a very nice Yamaha fretless from Phil. He was helpful and communicative. Deal with confidence!
  7. Bump for price reduction
  8. Bump up
  9. Bump for a fine fretless ( and no charge for the alliteration )
  10. No, no truss rod, and it has never moved...
  11. Well, it's still for sale. Had some interest, but nothing has developed so far.... I still have a deep hankering for the Prosebass you got from me a while ago (he hints...)
  12. Just did a trade with Philippe, sight unseen. He sent pics of the bass being wrapped for posting, and of the shipping label, which was very reassuring. Great bass, great guy to deal with
  13. Just sold my Hohner 6 string to John. All smooth, no fuss. A good guy to deal with
  14. Sold my Headway preamp to Ian. All went very smoothly, with good communication from Ian. Easy to do business with.
  15. Piccolos sold. The others still available. Get 'em while they're hot
  16. And sold!.....
  17. Cash preferred, but whaddya got?
  18. Just want what I paid for it (Ebay bargain)
  19. I would give a discount to be able to watch that....
  20. Thanks Daz

  22. [attachment=194195:P1010194.JPG] [attachment=194196:P1010195.JPG] I bought this recently off Ebay to test a theory. It's a really nice instrument, quite light, not neck heavy, well made, Hipshot licensed tuners. 2 soapbar humbuckers, with separate volumes and a stacked active bass/treble operated by a switch. It also has a dial on the control cavity cover to balance the passive output with the active. This is a great feature- I use it passively, with the active set to boost the back pickup, which is a bit weak on it's own. Different tones easily available with the two volumes. In very good condition, three very small dings in the lacquer, that's it. I've used up my quota on pics for now, but I'll put more up when I've sorted it. £150 plus postage, or maybe meet up somewhere halfway, depending. Any question, please ask. Cheers...
  23. [attachment=194190:P1010199.JPG] [attachment=194191:P1010205.JPG] [attachment=194192:P1010206.JPG] [attachment=194193:P1010201.JPG] [attachment=194194:P1010202.JPG] I like this bass so much, I've owned it twice! However, it's sound is duplicated by my Ibanez, and too many basses distract me from actually learning, so here it is... I tend to think of it as a poor man's Hyperbass, and if you look at it sideways and squint, you'll see what I mean. I refinished the body in Danish Oil, flattened and epoxied the fingerboard, lowered the action, and changed the vol knob to tone. The finish is a bit rough in places, as I was too impatient, but it's well in keeping with the overall aesthetic. It feels and sounds really, really good- harmonics are very strong. It has a new set of Elite groundwounds on. £150 plus postage, or I'm willing to meet up somewhere reasonable. Any questions, please ask. Cheers......
