Still no bass sized cardboard box but I can securely send in a hard case, wrap the bass inside the case in bubble wrap and put some strategically-placed cardboard sheets on the outside of the case. The case might get dinged in transit, while protecting the bass, but that's what they are for

Happy (Jack) birthday!

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2020?
Clarky replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Best: my two Serek short-scales, Alembic Spoiler and Handbox 400 amp. Worst: continually thinking I can comfortably play long-scale basses and buying a Jazz, a Precision and a Shergold - all beautiful basses in their own right but unsuited to me and hence sold on (to happy buyers), each time at a loss! -
Merry Christmas to BassChat (and to my FaceBook bass pals who may have wondered where I am: I quit FB a few weeks ago). Enjoy!

My bass now has a new pal
-
I now have a Midwestern (with flats and single coil p/u for old school thumpy) to add to my "The Grand" (rounds, humbucker, 3 tone settings including fuzz circuit). Both short scale. Yum

Marco bought an old Shergold Marathon bass off me. Great comms, quick payment etc. All good!!!
-
Bought a loverly bass from Paul, who was kind enough to cross London to deliver to me under these weird Tier x conditions. Excellent stuff!
-
Shergold sold and boxed up for courier collection, so for now this Mustang is collection only. Once I have packing materials again I will update the FS thread

Review in this month's Premier Guitar magazine

Its sat in my bass rack, next to my bed (lucky Mrs Clarky)
-
Tim Lefebvre has his now!
-
Hmmm, looks like my Shergold is sold which will mean I no longer have a cardboard box for posting this. If delivery is required for this Mustang, it may take a while for me to get the post materials together. Especially with new London Tier 4 restrictions 🤔

Sale pending

Thanks KiOgon, its in remarkable condition for 26-27 years then!
-
Well for not much more p than a Vintera, here is a top quality Japanese reissue!
-
Update on electronics: I plugged two cables into the bass and ran these to two separate amps. This does not produce the stereo effect, as I had hoped. The lower jack produces mono output with all 4 strings sounding whereas the upper jack goes silent when both are plugged into two amps. If you remove one amp, both jack sockets produce mono output. So, unless there is some kind of special cable to achieve the stereo effect, this bass has been rewired for mono ... and its effectively a P bass alike, albeit a cool old British one!

I have decided that I want to get down to 2 basses, so this beauty is up for sale. In the harder-to-find fiesta red colour scheme. Amazing nick, appeared basically unplayed when I bought it a few months ago despite being of the order of 20 years old (its near impossible to accurately date CIJ Mustang Reissues). Has La Bella Mustang flats fitted for a Motown/old school vibe. Weighs about 8 pounds. No case but will be securely bubble wrapped/boxed if post needed (otherwise its socially distanced collection from Barnes/SW13). £750, no offers and no trades thanks.

In the absence of any scholarly advice, I will have to assume this bass is mono only (from each jack socket). Didn't bother me as I wouldn't have the foggiest how to use stereo output. However, I understand it reduces the attraction to those who are interested in the stereo functionality. Think of it as a P bass alike sound-wise ... through both jack sockets!
-
Pic as promised, hanging from my dust-covered running machine! It basically hangs level
-
Hi there, no neck dive. I will post a picture of the bass hanging from strap tomorrow

Hi assembled wisdom of BassChat especially @Beedsterand @ash. On request from a potentially interested party to test the stero functionality, I plugged two cables simultaneously into the bass with one plugged into my amp in the expectation only 2 strings would sound per cable. However, each socket plays all 4 strings even with a second cable present in the other socket. Either that isn't how to test it for stereo or perhaps it means the bass has been rewired for mono on both sockets? Any thoughts gents? Thank you in advance
