… there’s a good reason Flea goes between a Jazz and a MM type… Keep both.

Just a cheapie Ozark, I got it in 1994 and it was well used then. I gigged it a lot in my 20s, with one of these pickups, happy days. Too painful to play now, too sentimental to part with. More than anything, way too battered to get more than £50 for 😂

I’ve had it 30 years Chris, I can’t allow it to become another notch on Andy’s very impressive bedpost 😊

Fishman Rare Earth soundhole pickup, bass version. Active. These have been discontinued for years and are super rare, not just by name (or overly optimistic sales advert ). Personally, I can’t stand piezo on an acoustic (wasp in a tin can?), and think these pickups are far more natural. Though unfortunately playing my acoustic bass exacerbates nerve pain, so this pickup is now surplus. The pickup is in great condition, comes with the box and instructions. Postage not included, but can post at cost via Royal Mail, your choice of service. Cheers Fishman Rare Earth Bass Overview For Acoustic Bass The Rare Earth Acoustic Bass pickup has the same low profile design, ensuring that picking technique and acoustic tone will not be affected.

Natural acoustic bass guitar sound is reproduced thanks to state-of-the-art magnetic field/coil structure and advanced active electronics all contained within the Rare Earth Pickups housing. All the hardware necessary to permanently install the pickup into your acoustic bass guitar comes with the pickup.

This is a killer US reissue series imo - 7.25 fingerboard radius and a proper slab rosewood board (not laminate), and with gorgeous clay dots. I got the Stratocaster version when they were released for those reasons, proper vintage spec. Really surprised this hasn’t been snapped up already at that price - where are all the buyers? GLWTS 👍

Man that’s a great deal, bargain 👌

…all I can think about since we messaged at the weekend and you mentioned a cull Even got wife approval for the Modulus’ return 😂 The Lakland looks gorgeous btw, GLWTS 👍

I’ve had a question around the marks that look like cracks. They are not cracks, and may have been caused by me from the edge of the blade when using the heat gun? Or I’ve read that there can be tooling marks left on painted basses, so that might be it too. Offers and trades welcomed 👍
