Will consider possible trades, nothing in mind - WHY.

That’s a superb price! Great basses these.

Yes, it's quite rare, and it works really well too - lovely tone, and the bass is exceptionally comfortable when sitting and playing...a godsend for my glass back.

SOLD I recently listed this fantastic lightweight bass for sale and sold it here for £600. Unfortunately, I later discovered via the buyer that the truss rod nut was sadly stripped, something I hadn’t noticed during my ownership, as I never needed to adjust it. The action was consistently excellent with both roundwound and flatwound strings, and intonation was always spot on, so this came as a disappointing surprise. In true Basschat old guard fashion, I immediately refunded the buyer and took the bass back, knowing it’s still a very playable instrument. That said, I rarely play it, and to be honest, I don’t often reach for a 5-string at present - my band where I play 5's is typically on it's next 3yr hiatus. Plus my Sandberg Superlight 5 gets most of the attention, especially since it’s lighter than this one. So, I’ve decided to relist it with the faulty truss nut at a big discounted price to see if it sells, not too fussed if not. It still plays beautifully and would be a great deal for someone who’s okay with the truss rod being non-functional (unless you repair it or find a workaround). It’s currently fitted with a fantastic set of Aguilar pickups, a major upgrade over the original Bartolini, and they really make the bass sing. I’m asking £400 with the Aguilars, or £300 if you’d prefer it with the original Barts reinstalled. It’s still strung with the flats, has a low action, sounds great, and will continue to do so for years. Comes with the Ibanez gig bag as well. Only has the Santa Cruz sticker now too, easily removed!

Selling a few things I no longer use. This here is a wonderful professionally converted Thunderbird fretless and works great, has some old flats but can’t recall what they were. A few dings commensurate with use and age but nothing worrying. Low action, super smooth lined neck…plenty of mwah! £200 collected from Plymouth or add £20 for the courier, no case I'm afraid but will be well packed. May trade/part trade for a nice jazz bass neck. Cheers,

Fantastic superlight basses, mine weighs just 6.7lbs and is joyous for those with glass backs like me. GLWTS.

Pm’d 😊

Kind of wishing Ernie Ball hadn't replaced the body on my past Special I had in 2018. It was originally under 8lbs, but would of got lighter, arguably acoustically more resonant, due to an Ash Bora Beetle infestation 😂…long story short was the new body was over 9lbs and therefore I sold it. Could of been in the 6lbs by now 😂😂…someone out there is missing out making Paulownia Stingray bodies!
