This was the bass I lusted after as a teenager and could never afford - I still can't! 😄 I managed to snag one of the reissues they did a few years ago, but yours is in great condition and has much more mojo! GLWTS.

For sale is my Ibanez EHB1265 MS-NML (Multi Scale - Natural Mocha Low gloss) in case you wondered! I bought it early this year when the model first became available, and it's an excellent bass. The only reason I'm offering it for sale is I've really bonded with my new Dingwall, so as great as the Ibanez is, I've decided to move it on. The scale lengths are 35" on the B, down to 33" on the G, but the headless design makes the bass incredibly compact despite the extended scale - the gigbag it comes with is the same size as an electric guitar. Although the Bartolinis it came with were nice, I fitted a set of Aguilar DCB D4 pickups which have a bit more bite and definition, but the original pickups are also included in the sale, plus the Ibanez gigbag, Straplocks and pickup ramp (all unused) right down to the allen keys, user manual and original shipping carton. In my opinion this is the nicest finish they offer in this range, and they go for about £1150 new, so adding the Aguilars at £300, this is £1450 worth of bass for under a grand. It's only left the house a handful of times, so the condition is excellent. I've moved the end strap button, as I found the body used to sit up a little with it in the original position, but it can easily be moved back. NOW SOLD.

It really is. I don't know how they do it for the price.

For sale is a Human Base Roxy B5. This must be an earlier one, as the headstock facing is natural, unlike the dark wood of current models. For those unfamiliar with the brand, they're quality German-made instruments. NOW SOLD.

For sale is a lovely example of the now increasingly rare Status 'The Groove' 5-string, their answer to the Stingray 5. It has two-band eq with an active/passive switch, and does the Stingray snarl very well. The previous owner had a very cool mirror scratchplate made for it, but the original black one is also included, as is the Status-branded Hiscox LiteFlite case. It's in excellent condition, with no visible fret wear, and has a very slim, fast neck with a low action. The picture of the back of the body appears lighter than it really is - the overall colour is more of a cream (as per the pics of the front). NOW SOLD

For sale is a Cort A5 Ultra Ash 5-string. I bought it last year, and it's only been out of the house a handful of times, for a couple of gigs and studio sessions. It's a beautifully made instrument, with a thru-neck and a standard of build and finish that far exceeds what you could reasonably expect for the price range, and features Fishman's new Fluence pickups and 2-band preamp. It also comes fitted with a Hipshot bridge and Ultralite tuners as standard. It's 34" scale, 18mm spacing at the bridge, and weighs in at just a shade of over 4kg. The controls are master volume, pickup pan, treble and bass cut and boost, and a three-way coil tap switch. It comes complete with a quality Cort hardcase. The only reason I'm selling it is I've really bonded with a new Dingwall I bought earlier this year, and this bass has been in its case since. There's quite a few reviews of this and the 4-string version on YouTube, so I haven't bothered to do a video for this one, but it's a genuinely great bass in excellent, as-new condition. Collection is preferred (I'm about 10 minutes from junction 10 of the M25 in Surrey) or I can ship at the buyer's cost. NOW SOLD

Regular strings. There are individual screw clamps in the headpiece.

For sale is my custom made SKC Bogart Sport in Alpine White. It was made for me by Stefan at SKC about 4 years ago to my specs (35" scale, 19mm spacing) and has Bartolini MM and Candy Bar pickups with a Mike Pope Flex Core 4-band preamp.

For sale is my Lakland 55-94 in translucent white. WITHDRAWN

+1. This takes me back. I had a brand new one in 1980/1 when I was trying to be Sting and Colin Moulding rolled into one, fronting my first originals band at the tender age of 19. I recall it was quite heavy, but it sounded phenomenal and was so well made. GLWTS.

I had a pair of these (fretted and fretless) back in the day - cracking basses. I eventually sold one to Graham Edwards, who was Go West's bass player at the time. Here's a short clip from The Tube of him in action. GLWTS.

Still here! Make me an offer...

Cheapest I can see for one of these new in that finish is £899 at Andertons, and your one looks pristine. Bargain!! GLWTS.

Price dropped again. This needs to go!

Hi, 17mm at the bridge, 9mm at the nut.

👍 Thanks!

Fair enough. Larger than average then! 😁

That's a great price considering the upgrades. I just bought a EHB1265MS which I'm very happy with, and the Barts are quite fat, but a bit on the dark side. The Aguilars are currently £299 for the pair at Andertons. GLWTS!

That looks like it's been beautifully put together. The control cavity is HUGE! Any chance you can post a pic of the electronics? Thanks.
