    It was an absolute pleasure to meet Gus tonight, he bought my Jazz Bass and I reckon if time had allowed we could easily have chatted until the early hours. It was a super smooth sale, great communication and without a hitch. Pleased to meet you Gus 👍

    Yup, they are so versatile, that for me, they were too versatile... So many great sounds that I couldn’t stop fiddling, so I went back to a single H just to keep focus on playing and not twiddling! That said, I wouldn’t bet against owning one again in the future, probably a 2018 Special

    For me, the MusicMan USP is simply that’s it’s a MusicMan! It’s got quality, style, history and THAT sound. There are plenty of great basses out there inspired by MusicMan and they are of top quality, but they dont’t have the USP I particularly want. YMMV.

    Trust me, with all that check action you don’t even notice it! 😁

    They might be LaBella low tension flats, they have black silks and are very smooth.

    Back up for sale

    Absolutely, one of those rare signature basses that actually is pretty much built just like the one the guy plays! (Erm, or played).

    I think the quality of the high spec MM’s is excellent (e.g. PDN’s, Ltd Ed and classics) and up there with the similarly priced hand made basses I’ve tried/owned. The new Specials look as though they’ll be more high spec than the already pretty good current SR4’s, Ikm keen to see if they really are much better in the flesh. Hand made isn’t a definer of quality, or an indication that it’d be better than a similarly priced factory built.

    Like those nutters that list Old Smoothies for sale 🤭

    I had the exact problem, finding the body/neck balance peculiar and wondering why they put the thinner neck on the bigger body? I found the right Jazz two years ago kind of by accident, its a 2015 USA Std (though not all of these models feel like mine), and that’s after having owned an original 1964 and a fair few custom shops. They were all excellent basses but the balance and feel of my current Jazz is perfect for me and quite different to the majority. Though I fancy a LPB Jazz too, I doubt I’ll be selling my current one unless it’s equal in feel.

    Withdrawn, whilst I come to my senses 🤔

    That’d match my other Ray nicely. 👍

    Yes, it was a Leo Fender prototype. Explained here:

    Oooh, but you do have that Mk 3 Wal 😍

    Yes, another in a long line of killer basses I’ve let go of, falling victim to my minimalistic urges. One day I’ll learn that I just can’t handle owning more than 3 basses, but in the meantime it’s been fun owning them! 🤣

    Update - withdrawn again for a 3rd time! 🙄🤣 This thread is becoming a bit of a joke, this bass has been withdrawn twice before and is now relisted again, it’s not easy to let go of! Ltd Edition in this colour, made for 2016 only and now discontinued. It’s based on a prototype Leo Fender made for Sterling Ball and is the 40th Anniversary model (see YouTube video in my post below for more info). The pictures in the bright sunlight really show up the chocolate colour on the body horns, but blends into the sunbusrt in normal light, hence the difference in pictures. These are very special basses, with an awesome neck and the preamp is voiced beautifully, literally smoother than a regular Stingray and with an amazing EQ, that has loads of bass and sweet highs. This bass oozes quality. It’s in excellent condition, not one issue. It’s wearing flatwound strings in the photos but the original rounds are now on it. Comes with the original hard case and shipping box. Weighs 4.275kg / 9.42lbs No trades please, sale only Collection is much preferred, due to issues getting it to the courier. Link to my feedback:

    Great colour choice, I’d quite like that one hanging on my wall There are some tasty upgrades but it’s the weight that’s probably got me drooling the most....

    I’m liking the Jet Black and Burnt Apple too, plus the two Sparkles. I’ve already got a white Ray, which is weird as I usually don’t like owning white basses, but she’s a good’n. Tough choice for you though with the Charcoal, wonder which you’ll get... cos we all know you’re getting one! I’ll be driving past Bass Direct in September, that could be dangerous...
