    My second bass when touring was a 74 jazz bass. I only ever brought it out when the Stingray needed work and it had no thump in comparison. I love a jazz bass but have a hard time getting them to work....or, to be specific, get them to flap my trousers like a Stingray!

    Yep, the trans is definitely alder. Very warm and punchy. It has a converted ebony board with lines which matches very well with the whole package. Not sure about the black - could be poplar, could be ash. But yes, a full sounding 2 band with a great aggressive sound but not ear splitting highs (though that could be the 2 band). I toured and recorded with a black/maple 1994 back in the day. That had a three band and was a clicky mess a lot of the time. I only ever fully embraced the Stingray again when I picked up a classic with a 2 band and found it much more of an appealing sound for what I like to do. The necks on those two '89s are slimmer than the 1994; extremely playable, almost jazz like but with a tad more heft. Both pretty light too. I found the '94 neck a completely different ball game. Sharp edges and tubby...was not great!

    With a strict rule on 2-band EQs.

    After years of ALL sorts, I now realise that for me, the only way is the Stingray way

    Price drop bump for the Hof...

    Oh mama. One of those 'right bass/wrong expendable income' moments. GLWTS!

    It's a peach and I would absolutely hold onto it but I have to be a two-bass-man for a while (fretted and fretless Stingrays of course!)

    Up for sale is my as new/ shop fresh 2022 German-made Hofner Club. The Club has the well known woody thump we all know and love all in a short scale package and a larger single cut body shape vs the more ubiquitous violin bass. Light as a feather and perfectly balanced. It's a beauty to play. A reluctant sale but, as my gigging basses are Stingrays, I need funds for other things. pickup/meet up preferred in the SE/M25 area. Specs Top: Spruce Body: Flamed maple Neck: Maple/ birch/ maple Fretboard: Rosewood Scale length: 730 mm (30") Nut width 42 mm 22 Frets Trapeze tailpiece Pickups: 2 Höfner humbuckers Colour: Sunburst Includes case Made in Germany

    Gorgeous bass Alan!

    If the ebony fretboard on this is even remotely close to the incredible job the gallery did on my fretless Stingray, this is an amazing deal!

    I'm making a move away from an old school sounding rig and tweaking my gear to something a bit more hifi. Anyone fancy trading/part-exing a high quality 4x10/ 2x10 cab (Berg/Aguilar/Glockenklang etc ) for this ungigged DB112? Handover only so would have to be around the M25 or down in the SE.

    Whoops I've just noticed the enormous 'recommended amp techs' list which I'll investigate. But if there's a Trace expert in Kent Sussex that springs to anyone's mind, do drop me a pm. Cheers! N

    Anyone have a recommend for a good amp tech who is familiar with older (80s) Trace Elliot amps in Kent/Sussex? I'm on the lookout for someone to give my old TE amp a once over and brush up. Cheers! Nick

    Being six string-less for the first time in a while, the sight of a nice one like this puts the gas back on the hob.

    AND SOLD Up for sale is my minty clean, ungigged AG700. It's had little use at home and is pretty much as new. My playing nowadays is much more focussed on recording so I'm moving it on as it should be used! 600 firm and hand over only. Happy to drive a bit to meet up if necessary (I'm based in Kent nr Tunbridge Wells). The only trades I would be interested in would be for a Roland JX8P synth. This is fantastic, powerful amp that we all know and love; solid state 700 Watts at 4Ohms and a tad over 2kgs in weight. Beautiful sounding amp. Here's the Aguilar link with specs etc https://www.aguilaramp.com/bass-amps/ag-700/

    As the former owner, I can vouch for this bass being very, very good I only sold it as I was boiling down to Stingrays as my main basses. It's fab! Very light and with a skinny/fast neck. In great condition too

    Up for sale is my Marshall Drivemaster. Obvs a classic 90s guitar pedal but sounds great on bass too. Owned from new and never gigged. Some scratches from being in the pedal box for centuries but in pretty good shape. Slight scratching on the treble pot but some soaking in WD40 should deal with that. Quiet in operation. Very little between this and the Guvnor or Shredmaster (both commanding silly prices because of celeb users e.g. Jonny Greenwood etc)

    And a bump for this v v v vgc bass

    And the AB1 is back up. Didn't want to sell it as it's fantastic - but my recording duties are focussed around my Stingrays right now...
  23. Cairobill
    and it’s gone!

    Yup - I actually went back to Stingrays via a very nice ivory white Classic 'Ray from 2010 or so. And soon discovered that you can pick up a late 80s Ray for a lot less. And in a number of ways the older bass is a better instrument for me (although I really like the Classics).
