Thanks for all the interest, this is now gone. Heading to a new home in Zagreb.

Is it American? I'm definitely interested, I prefer Rosewood, but it's not a deal breaker.

Price drop, how about £900 including UK postage?

I could also be interested in a double bass or EUB.

I got this in a trade last year, I persuaded myself that having a 4 string would help me play like Joe Dart. I was wrong. I've hardly used it since getting it, and it's in very good condition, the case has a few superficial marks though. Ideally I'd like to swap or trade for a 5 string with money going either way. I'm quite particular though, I'm really only interested in a few things Musicman Stingray 5 Classic, Musicman Sub 5 USA, Sandberg California 5 string (P or J) any Fender looking 5 but with 17/18 mm spacing and 44/45 mm nut. I could also be persuaded with a Genzler Magellan 800. Happy to post, or travel a reasonable distance from Edinburgh to deliver or meet in between.

I was playing a wedding about 5 miles from home, after a good humored set up i went off to the toilet to change. I'd forgotten my shirt, and wearing a Star Wars t-shirt just wasn't gonna cut it for this wedding. Luckily our drummers pal lived next door and brought me her 14 year old sons short sleeved school shirt, it was very tight, but better than my t-shirt.

Man this is so cheap, such a great amp.

Oh that is gorgeous.

Going to a good home, that's the main thing.

Sold pending the usual.

So I've finally given up on my old fretless, I bought it almost 20 years ago in a pawn shop, and I used it as it was for a long time. It's spent the last ten years in my workshop waiting to have the electronics sorted, and when I went to look at it recently it seems the truss rod is out of adjustment, there's far too much relief and it won't tighten any more. It might be fixable with a washer stack, but maybe not. The neck is in ok condition otherwise. The electrics when I bought it were set up volume volume tone, with a selector switch and the jack socket has been moved to the front of the bass. As far as im aware the pickups are original, but I can't guarantee that. The body is pretty beaten up, the worst part is the control cavity is starting to collapse, it seems it took a bang from the front. It's not cracked through and could be repairable with a bit of support from the inside. The bridge and machine heads are probably the best bit about the bass, they are original and in ok condition. The truss rod cover is missing. I would really like this to go to someone who would fix it or would use the parts that are there to sort out another similar Ibanez, so any Ibanez enthusiasts will be given preference. The price is a guide as I have really no idea what this is worth to anyone, so offers are accepted. Obviously I have no say on what happens it after, but I'd prefer if it wasn't used to make a quick profit, but rather to be used. It was really great when it was working with loads of mwah. Trades for 70s Fender bridge saddle, nice Jazz bass pickups or fx pedals would be ideal.

Any interest in trades at all?

I don't suppose you would be interested in trades? I know that wouldn't help with minimalist living, but thought it was worth asking.

What's the width at the nut?
