Agreed. It looks an expensive bit of timber! 

Sting & Shaggy (yeah right!) were on The One Show a few days ago. Sting was playing a beautiful single cut extra short scale bass (similar size to a U-Bass). 

Anyone know what it was? 

Yes, still available 👍🏻

Wow!! If I won the lottery 🤗

Great sounding bass, easy & comfy to play! 

Bass is now sold. Thanks for a smooth transaction Ben & hope you enjoy the bass! 

Leamington Spa UK - I'm about a mile from the Bass Direct store in Warwick. Post code area begins CV31 2

I have a tecamp puma 1000 amp & a tks 1x12 cab if anyone wants to trial this bass or either of the other two for sale (Maruszczyk 32" scale Jake or the Overwater 33" scale Scott Devine Jazz).

Yep, looks good, feels good, sooo lightweight and sounds great with a delicate touch.

Reduced Price £1500

**SOLD** Reducing my collection, so no trades thanks. This is a gorgeous instrument and deserves to be played regularly.

Rob Allen Mouse 30 fretless short-scale (30") 4-string, built in 2014 and in absolutely immaculate, like-new condition.

Swamp Ash two-piece body with Eastern Walnut top.

Birdseye Maple neck with Goncalo Alves fingerboard and bridge.

Supplied with reinforced Rob Allen soft-case from new. Fitted with Labella 760N black nylon wrap flats.

From the Rob Allen website: -

The Mouse 30 packs all the fun of a short scale bass into a full professional quality instrument.  The lower string tension provided by the short scale has several benefits - easy playability, sweet upper register tones and fat blooming low end, not to mention the added nuance that comes naturally when playing this type of bass. The piezo pickup (mounted under the saddle in the bridge) is a vibration sensor that lets the wood speak, creating a cross between an upright and an electric bass.

Added photo of back of body and back of headstock.

there is a push/pull to put the HB in single mode ?
[/quote]

No, there's no push/pull on the HB

Any sound available ?

Haven't got any available I'm afraid, though I think WaterofTyne has some good videos using one of these.

**SOLD** Medium scale, lightweight Maruszczyk with P & HB pick ups.

I bought this stunning bass from The Brig of this parish. It was built to his specification directly with Adrian at Maruszczyk & he also supplied Adrian with the artwork for the headstock. New price was £1097.75 when the Pound was worth more than it is now.

Comes with the Maruszczyk supplied fabric gig bag & leather strap. Currently sports a set of medium scale roundwounds.

Home use only, so immaculate condition. Sounds amazing. The humbucker has real grunt!

Specs:

Body: Alder with one-piece ash veneer front and back, gloss finish
Neck: Maple with matching headstock, 38mm nut width, white neck binding, MOP block inlays, matte finish
Hardware: Hipshot ultra light C 3/8 tuner, standard bridge
Pickups: Maruszczyk P & HB, passive, volume, volume, tone
Scale: Medium 32"
Weight: 7lb 8oz

SOLD - not looking for trades sorry.

Wow, just wow! Great sound, great demo video.

Is it a jazz bass width neck (38mm)?

Got to thank lowregisterhead for alerting me to the auction! 👍🏻

Sadly, there was little known about bipolar disorder (or manic depression as it was called then. Never got the help he needed.
I'd like to batter that Haven guy to death with the bass of doom!
Saw Weather Report at the Brighton Dome in the mid 70s. Jaco is an idol of mine. Fantastic groove player & his melodic stuff makes my spine tingle.

You can buy shadows and light live on DVD/Bluray :-)
[/quote]

Yep, bought it years ago. The version on that link is not from the dvd concert though.

Interesting feature yesterday in No Treble including a rare live performance of Shadows & Light with Joni Mitchell, featuring a much more laid back Jaco.

Who out there has one with a bass with trans trem?

I almost ordered a 5 string custom with trans trem from Ned in the late 80's and never pulled the trigger.

I still regret it as they are like unobtanium at this point.

There's one on ebay right now - £2900

The amp in the video is not Marcus signature amp.
[/quote]

Is it a prototype? That definitely looks like a Marcus silhouette on the front of that amp. Apologies if I'm wrong to all I may have misled.
