    Thanks. The Fender Jazz Bass was made in 1974 and I've had it since 1992. Here it is with it's original pickguard, thumb rest, bridge and pick-up covers.

    Yes they don't feel like a short scale bass. The photo of my basses shows as you said the body shape of the Rascal and Bass VI. Evidently the bridge on the Rascal is from a Guild Starfire.

    One my favourite basses that I have. I bought a mint one that had been used as a demo in shop after they were discontinued for the bargain price of £400 and to be honest if I had paid double that I wouldn't have been disappointed. Great bass. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

    Has anyone put flatwounds on an Ortega D-Walker? If so what make were they? Thanks for any info.

    Thanks! What a great video. I've been fascinated by these since I saw Jamaladeen Tacuma playing a black Steinberger L2 c1981/2. He was the first person I'd ever seem play one at time. I bought a new Hohner B2A in the 90s but sold it when I had a clear out of some basses about 15 years ago. Now it's time to buy either the Spirit or the Hohner.

    Ah right thanks. I've just seen the thread on Facebook and see what you mean now.

    The Ashdown website says the The Grail Short Scale is only Pre-Order

    Anyone know which one of these is nearest in design to the original Steinberger L Series basses? I realise that the materials used was different but how about the dimensions? Any info appreciated.

    These are brilliant basses and that's great price and if I didn't already have one I'd have had that immediately. Someone will be getting a great bass!

    My Boomslang Nano Piccolo Bass which has a 22.5inch scale. Photo with my Yamaha BBPH to give an idea of it's size

    It's really frustrating but not uncommon. I've been on eBay since 1997 and could write a book on some of my buying and selling experiences which were even stranger in the early years when there were no provision for photos to be posted so you were buying by description only.

    I've used almost all couriers over the years but either Royal Mail or DPD are fine. PM with the details when you get them.

    Would you send it or is it pick up only? If you would send it (at my cost of course) i'd definitely have it please.

    This thread seems to suggest to me that often the audience has more of a sense of humour than the band does.

    [quote name='antnee' timestamp='1486248095' post='3230399'] Had literally just messaged the Doc. After seeing some of these comments I may withdraw my request if I do get a response. I'll pursue the company mentioned before. [/quote] I haven't been on here for well over a year but have just pmd the Doc so i'd love to know if you do get a reply.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1481644829' post='3193983'] I saw him last week. He sorted out the wiring on my new Geddy Lee Jazz bass and made it a lovely tort plate He was definitely on good form [/quote] If you see him again could you ask him where my Squier Bass VI scratchplate i sent him in 2014 is?

    [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1433009112' post='2787038'] Seriously? If I thought this would see use I'd be all over it - I'm playing my main 5 so much at the minute. Is the black in the ribcage contour a scratch protector? Is it lightweight? [/quote] Yes it's a scratch protector. I've only got bathroom scales to weigh it on so i weighed a couple of basses i have just as a comparison and here are the results: Ibanez Verdine White Signature: 9 pounds 1979 Shergold Marathon: 7.5 pounds 1974 Fender Jazz Bass: a whopping 11 pounds!!!
