Jet Harris was a great bass player. The bass lines on the early Shadows tunes have a lot more to them then people realise. I agree, underrated.

The Stirling I had was very light, not quite 8lbs but it was less than 8.5lbs if I remember correctly. Very nice bass; didn’t quite gel with it long term though.

Would love a Deep 4 or 5 to go with my Mouse and MB2. Yours looks gorgeous! I’ve also considered a Shuker Artist and I also love the Rick Turner Renaissance; I’d be really interested to know your thoughts on how these three great basses compare.

Interesting. What didn't you like about the PUP?

Unfortunately I always found it to have a bit of a “nasal” tone. I had the fretted version.

Had one just like it. Very nice bass, light, very comfortable and well balanced. I love the aesthetic. I wouldn’t rule out having another especially if I could change the piezo system for a different one.

Still got one available. 😉

£300 for one. 😉 (They retail for double that new!) So half price, and near as damn it, good as new. I can also include the lovely cover. 👍

One of the two are now sold, so just one left of these great, lightweight cabs. 😉

Thanks, yes they are really good.

Thanks, yes it’s a nice bass, but looks like I’ve sold it!

went nice and quickly

Vanderkley 112 EXT, 300W. Beautiful cab, lightweight and sounds great. I have a matching pair I’m happy to sell together or can separate. They both are in excellent condition and come with the covers.

beautiful Sterling StingRay5 Bass Guitar. Condition is A1, good as new. Everything works as it should and I love the “Tobacco” sunburst colour. I brought it new around October 2019 for a new band which didn’t take off, so now this beauty is surplus to requirements. But it’s a great bass and quite light for a 5 string bass at 9.4lbs

Love my Rob Allens, I’ve got a fretted Mouse5 (best sound, but sooo small) and the MB2 (known as the Rat!😉) 4 string, which has a lighter sound, but still very good and gets more play as it’s larger size suits my 6”6’ frame. Both are excellent. I’d love to get a Deep4 or 5 as well though!

I thought VW was pretty good, but I also though Julia did a great job. What a cool, intelligent and genuine person. Obviously loves what she does and is a great bass player as well.

This has got to be the same “Cardiacs” I saw live in local pubs around 1980/81. I thought they were fantastic and just thought they were a local band. I always wondered what happened to them. RIP

Thanks. I’ll have a look

Love these. Mine seems to have risen to the top of my pile as number 1 go to; not bad as I have about 15 other basses! GLWTS

Yeah, I’ve got the same model. Very good basses IMHO. GLWTS.

I played the Mex Deluxe Precision and really liked it. I ended up buying the USA Elite Precision at £1,000 more (I was flush at the time and had never owned a USA bass before). It's a lovely bass but not really any better than the Mex version. Both are great and incredibly versatile.

I tried both elite and mex deluxe jazz basses. I went for the mex as couldn’t justify price difference for two very similar sounding/feeling basses. Although the finish was nicer on the US, the sound was only slightly better. Still want the US version though in that “Texas Tea” colour!

Six string bass tuned E:e so like a FenderVI. Very nicely made, active electronics, string through, 30” scale. Lovely tone with strong fundamental from EMG pickups and three band EQ. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.

In very  good condition with carry bag. 800 watts, class D amp head. Very light, we’ll made and great sound.

As we are a bass forum, I feel the need to add some solo bass. Anybody for Jaco?

Walk, don’t run 

item now “Sold” Thanks for the enquires!

I got a second hand Suzuki Jazz bass, actually it was very nice, the neck was good quality and felt  nice but the head stock 😱 I replaced it and subsequently sold the bass with the new neck. Now I’ve got this neck hanging around. Anyone interested? It’s a good neck 41mm at the nut, 63mm at the heel.
