    I think this neck is from a "Vintage Modified" series bass? But perhaps someone on here will know for sure. I once owned a VM P/J precision, and ended up wishing I'd kept the body, to use with this neck. The VM series really were pretty good quality instruments.

    Squier fretless jazz neck, in really good condition. There is a tiny "ding", barely noticeable on the back of the neck around fret position 10. The fingerboard (Ebanol?) has some very very light surface marking, which you can't feel. Neck is nice & straight, and the truss rod works smoothly. Loaded tuners included - they're in great condition and turn smoothly. Bought with the intention of finding a suitable Squier body - but never got around to using, as I traded a fretless bass instead (Spector). It's such a nice neck, I think it needs to be used. I prefer not to post. Collection from Barry, South Wales, though I sometimes travel about, so a meet may be possible. No trades - I need to thin the collection.

    Oh no! Sad news indeed 😞

    Amazing instruments. And that is an incredible price! Edit: These are now a fiver short of £3k new..... this is an absolute bargain

    Ooh. Lucky you. I'm trying to be good atm - need to thin the herd. This looked really tempting though, I must admit. Lightweight and funky, sparkly purple 😀 Enjoy your new bass.

    Do you know what the actual weight is? Great colour! 😀

    Hello and welcome to BC Geoff, As you don't have any bass gear yet, as others have said - take a look at the marketplace on here. BC members are happy to let you try out a bass. So see if there's anything reasonably priced and close to you. You don't have to spend a fortune to get a decent, usable bass. Buying used here on BC is definitely better than buying blind from the likes of eBay. Most of all, try several basses out, and see what factors feel comfortable for you to play. Also, enjoy BC 😀

    Perhaps place an advert in the wanted section here on BC? Someone might have a decent quality neck they're no longer using... Worth a shot, I'd say.

    So sorry to hear of your health issues @Oldman. Good luck with your sale of kit. Look after yourself. Marc

    Whatever the reason for not logging on to BC - I hope SamIAm is well. I don't know her (but think we have exchanged messages a couple of times). Just hope she's too busy, or is taking some time out.

    For sale (no trades please). Collection from Barry. BONUS: comes with a brand new spare set of strings (worth around £50). This Kala Journeyman ubass is strung with metal roundwound strings, rather than the usual rubber strings. (This is how this model is supplied). I much prefer these strings. Also, this bass comes with a brand new set of replacement strings. In really good condition, as I've hardly used it. It just came along with me to a few gigs, as an unused backup. Really like this bass, but I bought a extra short scale Jabba bass, and I'm not using this Kala at all now. Comes with a case, which isn't a hard case - but more padded / protective than many gigbags. No trades please (unless you have an EHX string 9 pedal) as I need to thin the collection. I'd prefer collection or a meet-up but if you want, you can arrange a courier.

    Really lovely colour on this bass. That red tort plate is just the perfect colour combo too IMHO. If I needed a reasonably priced 34" scale P bass, I'd be considering this - especially as its pretty lightweight too. Moreover, sorry to hear of your arthritic issues. I'm playing short scales more these days - mainly to ease weight on my left shoulder, plus to head off any potential finger joint problems. So I hope you find a similar solution - so you can keep on playing. GLWYS

    Nadolig Llawen from Wales everyone. Have a great festive season. Last night's gig was the last one of 2024 for me.... and relax....yay 😀

  16. Marc S
    Oh wow! I have never seen one of those before. That's got to be a pretty rare beast. GLWTS

    Sorry I missed your 10th anniversary on BC, and by a couple of weeks too.... But I just had to say "hi". My last vehicle was also a Mazda Bongo, which I replaced with a Berlingo - well, actually it's the Peugeot iteration (Partner). So happy 10th anniversary, from someone with a coincidence or two thrown in 😀

    Oh Wow. Since I got my Dano Longhorn earlier this year, I have absolutely loved it. With the f-hole and colour of these, I must say I have been tempted (even though I don't need it, and am trying to thin the collection). If I lived closer to you, I just know I'd be popping in to try it.... and am sure I would succumb to temptation. These new ones look so good. I'm sure this won't be around very long. GLWTS
  20. Marc S
    Oh, that really is a huge shame. I liked the look of these. (not that I need one, of course -especially as I'm trying to sell atm).
  21. Marc S
    Stunning basses these. I had a Roadworn Jazz in sunburst, and I wished it had been Fiesta Red... for some reason! Lol. These basses, look, feel and sound the real deal. GLWTS

    Definitely walk...or even run away. Several things looking decidedly fishy there. As others have said, it looks a lot like an NS, and they sell for much more money than that. If you really want to spend as little as possible on an EUB, you could wait for a used HB or Stagg on here. My first upright was a Stagg, which I bought at the Cambridge Folk Festival. It wasn't great - but there are improvements & upgrades you can make to them (there's a useful website somewhere). Mine didn't put me off playing upright at all - it encouraged me! Plus, when I sold it on, I got what I paid for it. It seems there's always someone out there wanting to dabble with upright.... and for the sort of money you'd expect to pay - I think it's worth it. Even if you decide it's not for you.... you'll pretty much get your money back. Good luck with your search, and hopefully with your new adventure (do it, do it - I've never looked back)

    Good to hear you've made the decision to get an upright. It is an entirely different animal compared to bass guitar - so you've made a good start by watching some Discover DB lessons. Best of luck with your exciting new journey, and welcome to the wonderful world of upright bass. 😀😃

    Yes, I'm coming around to thinking this more & more lately.

    Oooh - that looks lovely
