[quote name='theFALLEN' post='803055' date='Apr 11 2010, 09:07 PM']Bump. Seems like a saweet Bass, shame it isn't active or a USA as that's what I'm hunting for... Good luck with the sale though dude.[/quote] errrr, it is a USA Fender Thanks for the good luck. I think the bass weighs 9lbs, I'll check tomorrow but I think that was what my electronic scales said. (EDIT: see below for actual weights.)

[quote name='drthirkenstein' post='802522' date='Apr 11 2010, 12:37 PM']well what i'm saying is i wanna sell mine to buy yours, so either way its win win for you.[/quote] Yeah, I understand. I certainly hope that happens, I'd love to sell the jazz to you. I think that's much more likely to happen if you have your own thread so more people know there is a Stingray for sale. Good luck

[quote name='drthirkenstein' post='802501' date='Apr 11 2010, 12:13 PM']Hey there! that is exactly the bass I would like! don't have any cash at the minute, but if anyone is interested I do have a 2EQ Wood Finish Music Man Stingray for sale or trade. this is my one: here's an old picture from my phone [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=39613"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach...st&id=39613[/url] and theres these pictures on our myspace from gigs we've done [url="http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/47/l_1537769561464230bfcd2607d7efe255.jpg"]http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images0...607d7efe255.jpg[/url] [url="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/25/l_6a94ffb52007417ab92c7ecf775893e2.jpg"]http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images0...ecf775893e2.jpg[/url] [url="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/103/l_4135b9bc347b492d908d851b60a8e7eb.jpg"]http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images0...51b60a8e7eb.jpg[/url][/quote] If you're after selling your stingray it'll be much easier in a thread of its own, a bassist on a quest for a stingray probably won't be clicking on a jazz bass thread (Do I sound annoyed? I hope not, I tried different wordings but they all seemed to sound like I was annoyed at the semi-hijacking of the thread. Hey, a bump is a bump.) [quote]How do you accidentally buy a bass? Can see my wife's face, 'Er, it wisnae me but...'[/quote] I guess I'm just accident prone :/ That's my line when my girlfriend asks anyway... and she hasn't spotted the 'accidental' purchase either, result [quote]Thats a bargain of a price for such a beauty if i werent on the hunt for a p-bass, i'd be round yours giving it a try out! gd luck with sale....doubt you'll need it![/quote] Thanks!

Hello everyone. I'd been after a passive Fender for ages and was pleased when I (very recently) bought this. But then I accidentally bought another bass yesterday and due to the old one-in, one-out policy this is up for sale. [size=4][b]Fender Jazz 2006 with S1 Switching[/b][/size] [b]SPECIFICATION[/b] Three Tone Sunburst String through or top load bridge Alder body Maple Neck Maple fingerboard 20 Frets 34" Scale Controls: volume, volume Tone Rolled Fingerboard edges Neck reinforced with graphite rods (I think!) Strap Locks [u]Black and Tortoise shell pick guard included (see photos)[/u] [b]S1?[/b] Pressing the S1 switch on top of the neck volume control puts the two pickups in parallel giving a thicker tone, getting on the way to sounding like a P bass. Some people like to debate if it's any good; I like it because it gives a little more versatility... and if you don't like it then you can always just not press the button and it's then exactly the same as a normal jazz bass. [b]CONDITION[/b] I think the photos show the condition well. It looks good with the only realy serious ding being where you never look, on the bottom edge (see photo borrowed from previous thread). I really haven't had this long, but in the time I've had it I was pleased with how it performed in a jazz trio, a soul band and a function band. Personally I found the S1 switching to be very handy in the function band where I inevitably end up playing all kinds of music. Oh yeah, I've also lowered the action a little and give it a polish. [b]PHOTOGRAPHS[/b] Taken in yesterday's sun...

[attachment=46974:Dink.jpg] [attachment=46976:Headstock_Back_1.jpg] If you want any photos of any other parts of the bass just let me know and I'll get the camera out. [b]POSTAGE[/b] It doesn't come with a hard case because I was planning on this bass being a keeper and I was going to use a gig bag I have for my other bass so didn't buy the hardcase off the previous owner (DOH!) So ideally collection would be the best. But I am a bit of a deamon packer (see my feedback) so I wouldn't mind posting it too much if someone was desperate. I have plenty of packing material. I always used an insured courier, but I guess that is up to the buyer. The bass in Lincoln. [b]PRICE[/b] £525 + Postage

[quote name='J3ster' post='696650' date='Dec 30 2009, 07:38 PM']It's possible, I am looking for a good 5 but was looking to spend a little less than this as my current Bass buying exploits are running very! high. But you get what you pay for I guess. I will see how I go over the next few days and keep watching. thx again[/quote] The yamahas certainly are very well made, the construction seems flawless to me; there seem to be a few die hard TRB fans on this forum who'll back this up. Would be nice to sell it face-to-face to a local guy too of course.

[quote name='J3ster' post='696629' date='Dec 30 2009, 07:11 PM']I'm a London Boy who got lost a couple of years back.. That must be at body end would prob make it a 10 or 12 at 1st fret!.. Thanks for that those Piezo are rather neat.[/quote] I've never looked into radius specs much to be honnest. All I know is that it's not flat like a Warwick and it's not overly curved. Seems fairly close to my American Deluxe Jazz, but maybe stretched to a 5 string? Hope this makes sense. Are you interested in the bass?

[quote name='J3ster' post='696509' date='Dec 30 2009, 05:34 PM']Hmmm Lincoln eh!! Just down the road.. Neck radius please Mr PlayBass[/quote] According to this: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Yamaha-TRB5PII~ID~2922.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Y...PII~ID~2922.asp[/url] it's 20" or 500mm. Another Lincoln-based basschater! You don't get many of those!

I think I'm a Warwick magnet... I've been offered three in the same number of days... and yesterday I met a guy called Warwick, freaky! Maybe me and Warwicks are just meant to be. But for now I'm looking to sell the Yamaha but would consider a jazz bass as trade, but nothing else... I don't think. Thanks for all the PMs so far.

I've just received a furniture delivery so I've got plenty of packaging materials if anyone wants this sent via courier. I'm a good packager too; the last bass I sent got this reaction for the guy receiving the bass: "I can’t imagine how long it took you to pack it – it took me half an hour to liberate it again! Bombproof is the only word I can think of." Maybe not a tallent to brag about (or to impress the ladies with) but it's useful all the same.

Abosolutely top of the range Yamaha with the fantastic piezo pickups! Including original Yamaha hard case.

Available with an exotic choice of body woods With a choice of maple, bubinga or ovangkol top on the TRB’s solid ash body, both looks and sound can be tailored to your want. The 24-fret through neck’s 35” scale length gives added depth to the low-B string and the custom electronics, complete with Alnico V humbucking pickups, 3-band active EQ and piezo equipped saddles are the last word in versatility.

Internet price new (bet they're not in stock though) at GAK: £2249 (Feel free to check out my feedback in the 'feedback' section of the market place.)

After moving house this amp is now sitting in a different wardrobe, but still just sitting not doing much. I've taken the price off as I'm open to offers. Might be interested in a trade for a small 12" or maybe 10" combo for rehearsals. Would greatly prefer collection.

[quote name='power of ten' post='476680' date='May 1 2009, 08:56 AM']PM'D[/quote] Sorry for the slow reply. The bass is now sold. Thanks everyone.

[size=1]mini bump[/size]

[quote name='leschirons' post='459870' date='Apr 11 2009, 11:51 AM']I can't believe this is still for sale. You seen the new price? Neck's a tad too wide for me or I would like a shot. Have a Bump.[/quote] The string spacing is slightly narrower than my Fender Jazz so the neck makes sense (feel wise) when you play it. As for the price, I agree, it's a lot of bass per £. I don't know how much they were when brand new (someone else here will I'm sure) but the new versions are not the same, they're neck through and I'd guess they have a dirfferent version of electronics.

[size=7][b]Definitely for sale.[/b][/size] I had a great time playing it last night but I don't need it for the type of gigs I do so I'll let it go (and I'll worry about regretting it latter). Someone buy it before I change my mind.

[quote name='haruki' post='458132' date='Apr 9 2009, 09:48 AM']Hi - would you be interested in trade + cash for MTD kingston 5 string. Curously its currently strung EADGC but I want something with the full 6 strings. Great bass to play lightweight etc etc. but painted a rather fetching blue. Maple board very pretty. [attachment=23520:003.JPG][/quote] Hi, it's not really what I'm looking for pickup wise and aesthetically, but thanks (I do like the maple fretboard though). Actually I've just had a great time playing the TRB6 this morning and I'm considering withdrawing it from sale. I probably would get on with a 5 string with a high C more, but I guess it's good to have the extra flexibility of the lower notes (just in case). I'll leave it up here to see if there's any more interest, but I'm not desperate to sell. Thanks for all of the interest/comments so far.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='456107' date='Apr 7 2009, 08:53 AM']I've been searching for a 'better' 6-string for the last year or so & I still haven't found anything to touch this bass and that includes a top of the range neck through headed Status S2 6er! I'm just on the verge of ordering an ACG Recurve Single-Cut 6...[/quote] That's one of the very few basses I've been interested in, but with 5 strings. What's the price range for an ACG recurve single cut. Their website doesn't show any £numbers. Also I believe you live in the same area of the country as me; are you planning on travelling up to Scotland to try the basses out and place your order or is are you ordering over the phone. The closest bass builder I have found is Shuker I think, but I really do like the look of ACG! Thanks.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' post='456106' date='Apr 7 2009, 08:52 AM']Do you/would you tune these BEADGB or BEADGC?[/quote] It's currently tuned in 4ths, so BEADGC. It makes it easier to change from my 4 string.
