    Superb cabs - I use the 210 and it’s probably the best cab I’ve used/heard - and there have been very many

    For me, (a) the finest necks on any Fender type, and (b) the coolest cases out there. Fabulous!

    Apologies, it is Leeds not York, and yes, Northern - thanks for the correction. I was really impressed - great place and friendly staff

    I think this approach works well and I've seen a few examples in the UK. I visited York recently and there's a small venue/bar with a guitar shop above (accessed via stairs at the back of bar). I'll try to find the name - a great place to drop-in for a coffee/beer and a browse. There's also Gibson Music in Ashton-under-Lyne just outside Manchester. Some good stock, often quite quirky, and a cafe at the rear of the shop

    The unit alone (no bag or rack ears) is about 16lbs. Reassuringly brick-like and solid - the face-plate is nice and thick

    Me too - it looks really serious as a standalone. I have the Millennia carry bag for basic protection and wasn’t offered the ears - I’ll make enquiries!

    Pinnacle really. More an item of scientific equipment. Accuracy of the eq is unparalleled in my experience. A very good price too IMO (rack ears are a useful bonus)

    For anybody reading this and thinking, 'what', 'who'? Have a listen to 'Morning Fog' from Kate Bush's Hounds of Love album. Undoubtedly one of my favourite bass players! https://youtu.be/CZQk2ZgZP3I Whilst it's a beautifully produced album, Eberhard's playing hasn't been 'tidied' unnecessarily - stunning musicianship and fabulous authenticity (you can hear the character of the instrument perfectly, and even EW's fingers on the board/strings)

    Danelectro Longhorn basses are incredibly light (and short-scale with a 24 fret board). Surprisingly versatile basses in terms of tone too. There's a reasonably recently released 'Red Hot' version with an F hole - maybe worth a look?

    Criminally underrated basses with a unique tone. A great example here - paint looks pretty fabulous for the age. This is a great price IMO

    Perfect spec - absolute stunner. These necks are special

    It’s great to hear that you intend to try plenty of bases wherever possible. In my view, this is a really good idea. As others have suggested, both Bass direct and Bass Bros are not too far from you. A train trip to London wouldn’t be difficult either, even if this means taking some money for the train fare from your budget. The Bass Gallery in Camden is packed with an incredible range of basses and a couple of hours in there may be very helpful in helping you to decide what suits your needs and preferences

    A wonderful bass and indeed, the neck is sublime - US Lakland necks are for me the finest of all to be found on super Js/Ps. As suggested above, this bass will take an incredibly low action. I doubt anybody could be disappointed and this bass was only sold as I'd moved to short-scale almost exclusively

    This is indeed a fabulous little bass and a viable alternative to its full-sized counterparts in any setting. As Marc suggests, the pickup is thunderous and the quality/weight of tones belies the size of the instrument - hard to believe really. Enjoy it Marc - beyond being really good fun, it's a very serious instrument!

    Cheapest Sei I’ve ever seen (by miles)
  16. three
    These are really good fun and far better than some might imagine. A tenner is an absolute steal

    Thanks, it is, a lovely hand-crafted brass nut. If all goes to plan, I’ll be delivering this to its new owner today
  18. three
    Last bump if there’s any interest - I’ll be taking this down tomorrow

    In response to some enquiries, a few further details re: the Jabba headless: nut width (zero fret): 39mm string spacing (c-c at bridge): 17.5-18mm overall length: 27 and 7/8" (706mm) position markers are small dots on the side of the fretboard The Rockbag is designed to take headless-type Steinberger basses and is a good fit for the Jabba - with a bit of room left at the top of the bag

    Love that binding - a spectacularly beautiful bass

    A really friendly and easy deal with Chris (again - I realise that we'd transacted on BC previously!). Everything was really straightforward with immediate payment and great communications - an absolute pillar of the community and very highly recommended - thanks Chris

    Thanks very much! Sorry, I really need to move some gear so can’t take trades - I have far more gear than I can realistically use (or store!)
  23. three
    Thanks very much for this - I know that Owen had some strings custom made (at 23.5" scale) by Newtone - I'm including a set in the sale. I think that the other sets have just been cut down from long scale (given the string retainer arrangement, this seems perfectly possible). Indeed, all the other sets included in the sale seem to have started life as long-scale. I hope this helps

    These used short scale flats came from a Wilcock ‘51 so are cut for four in line. I’m not sure of the gauge but they seem reasonably light – possibly 40-100? They’re extremely lightly used and in excellent condition. I was told that they are Status Hotwires but I’m not sure that Status ever made short scale flats? The quality seems to be very good. I just don’t use flatwound strings. Supplied in non-original (Fender) packaging and shipped in the UK for £12.
