Something a little different/silly/why ? Do you have an Aron Hodek in your family (as seen on Norman's Rare Guitars YouTube channel) or just fancy a dinky fretless noodling bass? 2014 built Jack & Denny Mini Jazz bass, three colour sunburst gloss finish poplar body, rosewood fretboard, de-fretted with sycamore veneer inserts in the fret slots, on a maple neck with satin finish, tortoise scratch plate removed (included, still has protective film on and screws) for that Jaco look, fitted with Rotosound TruBass RS88S short scale black nylon tape wound strings and a push pull volume pot on the neck pickup giving you the series/parallel tone option (original mini pot included). Vintage strap buttons fitted with leather washers. 29" scale length, 38mm at nut, 3.04Kg = 6.7lb. 103cm overall length. Scaled size open tuners work okay, bbot bridge, volume, volume, tone all pretty normal passive Jazz setup. DV247 online store link Bass is in good overall condition, a couple of very minor varnish drips on back of headstock and marks to finish edge of fretboard where I originally tried to do a poly varnish finish on the fretboard which didn't work so the board was sanded back to wood and oiled. 20" radius as it was when fretted. There are two holes in the front of the headstock where a string tree was once fitted, unnecessarily once the fretboard was slotted above the new low home made bone nut, and there are three holes in the body where a different bridge was fitted visible below the ball ends. I moved the control plate a little to avoid having the larger pot hard against the body aperture instead of clearancing the aperture. When I bought the bass from DV247 it had been opened and inspected and supposedly had a 'special pro setup', (may have been QC inspection on a batch or as I suspect it was a customer return) the nut had been adjusted and cut too low on the D and G strings instead of straightening the neck so there was some fret buzz when I reduced the neck relief. I wasn't going to send it back to Germany for that on a £70 instrument so decided instead to do the de-fret and build a Jaco Bass of Doom out of it, but I haven't 'relic'ed it. I tried the original steel strings very briefly but the rosewood is too soft for that so I fitted the tape wounds which actually are really nice to play and sound great. The original YM ceramic pickups are reasonably hot and it does sound like a Jazz, solo the bridge pickup and it does a pretty passable Jaco sound. If you can do a Epoxy finish or similar then you could use harder strings, but the tape wounds worked fine for me. The nut should be fine with an epoxy finish if you don't go too thick, if you don't you may even want to cut it a little lower. It fits perfectly in the Gator XL Electric Guitar hard case, which is in as new condition and includes the keys. If you don't want the case then I can ship the bass on it's own, and we can negotiate the price. Otherwise price includes UK courier shipping in hard case. Collection from Llanfyllin mid Wales knock off £25. Apologies for the poor photos the camera had to use flash as it's been like dusk here all afternoon. Thanks for looking.

Great versatile Guitar 15 watt practice amplifier that is small (34x34x19cm), light (sub 7Kg), and portable and comes with multiple simulated amplifiers and effects, rhythm and accompaniment features and Aux input and headphone out so you can practice on your own or play with friends as loudly or as quietly as you like. I have used it for practice with UkeBass at low volumes and it sounds great especially on the acoustic amps and mad on the more driven options and with the built in rhythms is very useful for practice. Good condition, slight tarnishing of the strap covers and a couple of small marks on the vinyl covering Price includes mainland UK courier shipping

Pictures the first fret block is the one that is most lifted I was thinking themed coat hook/key hook rack or similar : )

I left it at work on the flat surface, I'll take some pics in the morning for you

I can't really see that anyone will want this but you never know... Complete fretboard from a 2011 Squier VM Jazz bass, that's satin finish, very little lacquer on fingerboard, 20 frets little wear on frets Maple fingerboard, black plastic bound and blocks, there was some slight lift on three of the blocks before I stripped board off the neck, maybe a little more lift now; it came off cleanly and surprisingly easily with some heat from a travel iron on a steel ruler on top of the frets as per the YouTube videos I watched before attempting it, no damage on the back face, I haven't removed the glue residue, just put it on a flat surface with some weight on it whilst it cools down I can post pictures later but I think we all know what it looks like, 38mm nut width, 65mm at widest part of the neck pocket, 34" scale length £15 plus shipping complete with the 10 white plastic fret markers from the top of the neck which are originally positioned half in neck half in fretboard so there are semi circle holes in the top edge of the binding (Right handed neck so if you use it on a left handed one the holes will be on the bottom edge) Removed to replace with a fretless maple board like a 70s P, afaik Maple board fretless Jazz weren't made for production, maybe one offs or custom
