Unmarked and as new NS5-XL Owned by me since 2004 and rarely used live. Siunds fantastic, thunderous B, active EMGs and strung with Hi-Beams which suit the bass perfectly. Absolutely no issues, C19 secure trial preferred in my home studio. No trades thanks, downsizing my collection is only reason for sale. Also listed elsewhere. Thanks for looking. -
Sold through this forum! (cant see how to update the title line though!) -
Its a lovely thing - just needs a new home 🙂

Many thanks, there is interest so fingers crossed!

For Sale my 1983 USA Precision in black with white pickguard. Very clean condition, very lightly used, a few surface marks and minor dings which are difficult to photograph. Plays really nicely with a great P-bass tone. Hardware and electronics appear original. Very light for an 80s P at 3.7kg verified with a digital luggage scale. No case but can package securely for shipment at buyers cost. No trades thanks. Only selling as I need to reduce the collection - Spector NS5-XL, John Suhr Jazz and others to follow......

Thx guys - my setup is purely for stage sound - the foh is DI from the amp which is set flat as my Sadowsky NYC provides a nice sound on its own. I know that some amps/speaker combos are just not optimal so good to hear mine is not wide of the mark - still got a 1x15-2x10-horn TE setup which blows it away though at least in terms of warmth and drive.....

Thanks for the comments - interesting. For my part it looks and sounds wonderful but the Sadowsky NYC is the bass I keep picking up (and gigging) - it’s nowhere near as pretty but just seems “right” - will probably list the Suhr in the coming weeks unless I have a change of heart - I think the Sad is a different thing and justcduits me better....

Hi, Current gig is a 10piece soul/funk outfit only need amp for stage sound as we are lucky enough to have a pro-level HK rig with engineer etc. In the past I used old school UK TE for years from 1x15 through 2x10 to 8x10 and everything in-between, 200w combos to RAH600SMX. Last year I decided to go lightweight and bought a TH500 and a couple of Barefaced BB2 (Gen3) - interested in whether or not this setup could be bettered for the material I am doing - overall happy with the sound/tone although unsurprisingly the TH does not have the headroom of the old TE amps (imho) - I only really notice this on the few tracks that require percussive (slap) playing. Guitar is usually Sadowsky NYC Jazz or Suhr Jazz through a Sadowsky preamp-pedal. Thanks for any views etc.... Cheers, Kevin

All, I bought a nearly new Firemist (Shoreline) Gold Suhr passive J about 6 years ago - don’t realky look at the market much but imho this is the finest 60s feel passive J I have played - I did a back to back with a ‘64 at the Gallery and the Suhr was as good if not better. Surprised that they can be bought new for £2k - does the market not like/understand them? I also have NYC Sadowsky, American F Jazz etc so have done basis for comparison. Interested to hear views.... Thx, Kevin

Bump before I cart the bass off to a dealer to sell.....
-
getting feedback that this is heavy - doesn't feel heavy to me, about right for what is it I would say - views?
-
A few people have asked me for the weight of the bass - it is 11.25lbs

[quote name='Satrugar' timestamp='1383654029' post='2267007'] The neck is definitely Ovangkol, as you can see on the pics. Fingerboard should be (and looks like) ebony, it's standard on Warwick fretless basses. [/quote] Thanks for the clarification - I mainly play Sadowsky/Suhr and am unused to these exotic woods :-) the thumb does sound gorgeous though so they must make a difference.....
