    Happy Bank Holiday Friday, Folks! Figured I'd better give this beautiful and seemingly, quite unique, bass a BUMP, as it needs to find a new home. Cheers, Nik

    Thanks for your expertise and insights as ever @Bassassin.. 🙏 Glad to hear you think it's a mid-late 70s example, and it is as you say, a thing of beauty! Who would've thought those little spanners are so rare.. 🤔🤷😁

    Sad, but true....

    That makes it even more of a bargain when you sold it, Chris...

    Thanks Chris, I remember the 212 combo you had; it looked like a serious piece of kit! Wasn't it the M3, as opposed to the M6 ?

    Sounds very familiar... 🤔 .. It's like having Trump's tariff wars imposed mercilessly, and without warning, on a few simple musician folks getting on with their day to day business of bass guitar trading... Shocking! 😉😁 On a more serious note, I really like the tone of the Danelectro basses too, though I've never owned one.
  12. silverfoxnik
    Only 4, Chris? 🤣 Seriously, thanks for pointing that out. 👍😊 This bass does have a lovely tone, despite my rather lame efforts at playing it..

    It's 3.9k, or 8.6 lbs in old money. And just to say, that was done using the old-fashioned method of weighing myself on the scales first, then weighing myself with the bass.

    😂 I'm very happy to talk about the M6 Andy... I just can't bring any more basses into Silverfoxnik Towers, otherwise I will end up sounding like a cross between Aled Jones and Jimmy Somerville, circa 1982/3 (if you catch my drift).. 😬😁😂 Nice looking bass btw...👍

    Thanks Rod... 🙏

    Thanks! 🙏 That's a good question... 🤔 Compared to other basses I have, this is pretty light. But I'll measure it and get back to you soon.

    That's a very cool looking bass @Stub Mandrel - it just oozes mojo!!

    Cheers Roy, It's a fantastic sounding amp, and the only reason I'm selling is because I (stupidly) have too many amps now.. And if it weren't for my Mesa Walkabout Combo, then I wouldn't be selling it.

    Hi Folks, Background Bit of an unusual one, this, so here goes... So, at the 3rd time of trying, I have realised that fretless bassis not for me. Hence why this is now up for sale. It's a 1970s (or possibly early 80s) Maya Precision bass in superb condition, completely stock, and comes with its original case and some of the case candy. The only thing that's not original (AFAIK) is that, at some point in it's life, it's been defretted. As I hope the photos show, it's a bit of a stunner, but when I bought it, it wasn't playing very well. So, I I took it to my local luthier, Nick Hartel in Letchworth, who's done a fabulous job on it so that it now plays beautifully (very happy to share his report on the work he did btw) . I bought this on Facebook last autumn thinking it looked totally cool, and it would be the perfect fretless to get me going so that I could discover my inner 'Mick Khan' or 'John Giblin'.. But sadly, that dream is now over - I just don't enjoy the fretless sound/vibe enough to persevere with it. The guy I bought it from is a very credible guitar dealer in Suffolk and here's what he had to say about it: "Very rare and collectable Japanese bass from the golden era of MIJ quality. Maya instruments are up there with the other highly regarded names, quality hardware, proper woods and built by people who knew their business. This is one owner from new, converted to fretless in the 1980s, in the original case with the tools and booklet for the top class adjustable tuners. A few bumps and marks but nothing major, a Japanese quality instrument for Chinese Squier money..." New Price as of 12.06.25 = £395 (All in all, this has cost me £460; £295 when I bought it and £165 in luthier fees. So, based on that outlay and the fact that it's a real nice, all original vintage MIJ, high quality instrument, I've priced it at £395 or near offer.) Trades I've had a rethink on this so, could now be tempted by a nice electro-acoustic 6-string, or an all valve head maybe, interesting pedals, studio gear... Who knows? Whatever - I'm open to having conversations with anyone who might have any interesting trade offers. Collection /meet ups Collection in Potton, east Central Bedfordshire much preferred, though I could do meet up anywhere between here and Ealing, London, where I work. Or indeed, a meet up within an hour's drive from me in any other direction. You're very welcome to come and have a play of the bass through my Mesa Walkabout combo (or your own amp/cab) here in Potton.. Kettle's always on, with plenty of tea /coffee available. Anyway, that's enough rambling from me. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking! 👍😊 Cheers Nik
