I am selling my 5-string, built by Swiss luthier Tino Tedesco.

Very pretty flame maple top, active, EMG soapbars, ebony board. Very low action - modern Jazz Bass sound with a great B string!

Excellent condition!

Gone!

Now on hold!

Just wondering why a bass hard case has provision for spare shoes?

...they wear off easily when you play walking bass...! 🤣

Are you interested in a Pavel Jazz Pro Classic 5 for trade

 

 

Sorry - but no...!

Is the bass from Cesar?

Not to my knowledge... at least I didn‘t buy it from him...

Very nice! What's the weight?

4.2 kilos on my mean, unforgiving, and brutally honest bathroom scale...

This begs the question, how many other Stingrays do you have, what are they and are you selling them as well? 😀

.

...this is actually the last one - and the hardest to part with...

After 30+ years, I am somehow through with Stingrays...

Up for sale is my 7-month old Music Man Stingray "Old Smoothie" from the limited 40th-Anniversary run in a wonderful Mint Green finish.

* Elder body
* Maple board
* Custom Made 10 Pole Piece Humbucker with Alnico magnets
* Active 2-Band preamp
* Music Man bridge with adjustable mute pads
* incl. OHC
 

Excellent condition! The color is very hard to catch on photo...

The bass is located with me in Munich, Germany - but I wil ship (at buyer's expense).

Are trades out of the question?
 

Well - let me know what you have... but most likely not...

Yes - it is a set-neck!

Weekend bump...

Hesitantly - but there is something here on the market place I desperately want - I am selling my Emperor 5 Deluxe.

Very rare, and one of the most stunning finishes I have seen on a Fodera: Sunburst Glassy on a Buckeye Top.

The bass plays beautifully, and the B-string is killer, thanks to the extended B-string layout (requires some getting used to when tuning the instrument - but that's absolutely worth it).

What a beauty!!! How bad are the two holes?
[/quote]
Sorry - didn't see your post until now...
The holes are barely visible, depending in the light...
Anyway, the bass was sold two days ago.

...replied!

I am selling my Yamaha TRB6JP - John Patitucci signature 6-string. It is from the first series - so 34' scale instead of the 35' scale of the current (2nd) series. Black flame-maple top, ebony fretboard, original Yamaha PUs. Gold hardware, Dunlop strap locks (incl. strap parts).

The bass was played a lot and has a number of dings and dongs - but nothing dramatic or anything affecting sound or playability.

[color=#535353]You can hear her in this video: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNGUPUhQMZA"]https://www.youtube....h?v=DNGUPUhQMZA[/url] (that is not me but the highly talented pre-owner).[/color]

The original electronics were upgraded by John East active electronics. There are also two wholes near the bridges - covered with foil - where a piezo PU was once installed.

This is a fantastically balanced, super-tone, comfortable-to-play, and versatile 6-string!

Bought an amp from Chris... and it was perfect! Very friendly, considerate, and trustworthy as well as excellent communication!
We shipped a very costly and heavy tube amp from the UK to Germany: if you ever want to have something packed for maximum protection -ask Chris!

Fully recommended!

...the bass is still here... lots of "tire kickers"... some real interest... but no one has pulled the trigger yet...
Unfortunately, I have to raise my price to 3650 £ to accomodate for the weak exchange rate, in order to get back to the same level of what I am asking in Germany.
(in case you didn't bother to get out and vote against Brexit... this is a good moment to regret...)

PS: I will try to upload better pictures... thanks for the hint!

Here goes my 67 Jazz Bass.

Originally Fiesta Red, she received a professional refin in nitro Shoreline Gold a few years ago in the U.S. (the owner apparently played in some Elvis revival band which explains the color choice...).
Refretted by a German luthier 2 years ago.

Everything else is original to my knowledge (maybe except one or two screws). Including original hard case and covers.

... and did I mention the original lollipop tuners?

Neck is dated December 1966, pot codes 1967, pickup codes 1966

The bass plays like a dream, currently strung with LaBella deep Talking flats, but I also played rounds (Gallis) on it for a while, and both sound great.
Remarkably, there is no deadspots at all

Neck and headstock have achieved a nice honey-colored tint over the past 49 years... also the neck binding has turned yellow. All very typical for a bass of that age.

Overall, the bass is in decent shape, with a few dings and dongs... already a few natural cracks in the refin nitro... someone must have applied too much force installing the bridge cover once, and there is a small hole next to the hole for the lower bridge cover screw.

Here's your chance to get a great player in a spectacular color, before she turns 50 at the end of the year...!

The bass is located near Munich, Germany. You are welcome by and test-drive. Insured shipping at buyer's expense.

No trades, unless you have something like a CS Sean Hurley Signature or similar...

You have a message...!

...and a bump...

Sunday night bump...
Oh, and it is 3.8 kilos on my bathroom scale...

Just bought a looper and effect case from Jon... big pleasure dealing with him, fast reliable communications, fast shipping... anytime again! Thank you!
