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

Would MUCH prefer a straight sale as trying to reduce number of basses but so far I have had no real interest on that front (which genuinely surprises me). I suppose I could consider a trade for a skinny-necked, lightweight (no more than 9lb) US or CIJ/MIJ Fender Jazz in old school 3TS/rosewood livery (which could be useful for recording). Can add cash from my end but must be US or Japanese Fender only. No other types of trade offers thanks as I already have 3 short scale basses, 2 amp rigs plus plenty of pedals. And of course zero gigs! Would consider a very near offer too, in the interest of getting this into someone's hands who would fully appreciate playing it

Didn't sell on eBay so now a bargainous £600 plus post to you lovely peeps

Any interest folks? Can be a bit flexible on price. PS, 16 bids on eBay but way off my Reserve price, so I can still cancel the auction if necessary (I think)

Now on eBay (£1 selling fee offer) but I would much rather sell here, so try with me near offer

Price cut to £650 including the various string sets. Post extra

Nearish offers as above?

Try as I might, the neck is too unwieldy for my short scale loving left hand. So feel free to make a (nearish) offer and I will include 48 hour courier and all 3 sets of strings mentioned in the post above.

PS, currently wearing DR Sunbeam nickel rounds but can be swapped with La Bella Deep Talkin flats (light gauge) or D'Addario black nylon tapewounds

For full disclosure, there is a bit of fret buzz around the very top end (c.19th fret and above) of the G string (not the E/A/D), although I do like quite low action so maybe this is exacerbating a slight unevenness of the board or frets at the dusty end on this particular string. On the other hand, how often do you play that far up the G string, lol?!

Here is Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp playing a white one in Dec 1980 on To Cut a Long Story Short (which I bought at the time!)

Update: I found a hard bass case hidden away in my store/hide-everything-away room, so this will be included. Means couriers will have to work bl**dy hard to damage the bass in transit, too!
