[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1101784' date='Jan 25 2011, 09:45 AM']Does the lead still have its original crackles? I'm not fussed if it's lost its hum, but without the crackles it's useless to me. Serious question: What does this bass weigh?[/quote] Oh yes the cable has more hum than crackle, as good as ur guitarist single coils! And she weighs just 8.6 lbs.

Well, there are obviously more expert folk on here than me and I bow to their knowledge, but just include a pic of the whole body just to confirm there has been no extra routing or the like to accommodate the pickup, be that pickup original or not. Bonus inclusion original 70's curly lead (remember them) included free!

Some internal pics! nurse!

FYI that's not the original pickup but is an immense upgrade - mine has one of the little chrome single-coil jobs which look identical to the ones used in the neck position on a Telecaster! Yours looks a lot like a DiMarzio Model One to me. Jon.[/quote] I beg to differ, this has Schaller stamped on the back and a sticker, and the original rout is original and untampered with as is the pick guard, perhaps this was a deluxe version!

To answer a pm the split coil switch is original, unless otherwise informed!

Great condition Maya Bass from I believe the mid 70's. Made in Japan. 40mm P size neck but nicely shallow so not too chunky. Really good condition as you can see, one or two minor scrapes, and a little buckle rash on the back. Looks all original including the MM type pickup, no extra routs, pickup appears to made in Germany by Schaller, and has a coil tap feature, all looks original. This really is in great condition, lovely tort guard. No bridge cover, pretty sure a Fender one would fit. Plays fine and thumpy, badly needs some new strings, I've oiled the neck and cleaned her up, mended a loose solder joint and all works great, neck is fine, both rear of neck and fretboard are mint. [b]£160 plus £10 to ship[/b], comes in gig bag not the case pictured.

On hold for 24 hours.

She has a 40mm nut as apposed to my jazz which is 38mm, very nice shallowish smooth varnish neck, hope that helps, it's a delight to play and very very light.

This needs to go to feed my credit card, £700.

I pm'ed but a stunning silence

Can Mr May Spell? Bump

Somebody wanted a pic of the underside of the control cover: This must have extra kudos as Chris can't spell December!

[quote name='flippyfloop' post='1096876' date='Jan 20 2011, 09:53 PM']Where are you based ?[/quote] Ipswich Suffolk. Sorry nowhere near any where really! but we do have electric now

seven point eight pounds, though i'm not quite sure if my scales mean 7 lbs 8 oz or if they mean 0.8 of a lb which is (16oz in a lb i believe) which would equate to 7lbs 12.8 ounces. either way its damn light!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1095805' date='Jan 19 2011, 11:22 PM']Will you stop mentioning that it only weighs 8lb! [/quote] To be precise [b][u]7.8 LBS[/u][/b]

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='1095550' date='Jan 19 2011, 07:45 PM']Am I correct in thinking this is the one with the Bartolini pickups and pre the East electronics?[/quote]May have to take advice on that as Im not sure, all I do know is it's stock and untampered with! such a dream to play at 8lbs or so.

Price Drop £795

Oh my! still on my wish list a Celinder. Trades?

[quote name='davidak' post='1091666' date='Jan 16 2011, 06:28 PM']It should be mine in week or so.. Yes, it is really beauty, and it seems Andrew is really great guy to deal with. Here's a picture of what I'm going to do her, hahahaha [/quote]Please don't do that!

[quote name='molan' post='1091474' date='Jan 16 2011, 03:43 PM']That's another nice bass Andy - I had a vaguely similar 5'er for a while and really liked it. Looks like immaculate condition too [/quote] Thanks, plays huge as well.

Yup, could have sold it 4-5 times but it's off to the Czech republic! Sure was a pretty bass.

Always open to nice trades
