The design Gibson should have gone for in the first place. The quality of Jon's work is justly renowned- someone is going to get a bargain at this price. GLWTS.

Are we talking Asda price here? Or Waitrose? 🤣

Brand new, never used. These are German-made and have a great reputation as a Music Man upgrade. The makers claim a very warm bass and low-mid response, accentuated mids and a bright percussive top end, i.e. Stingray clank, whether in active or passive mode. I was thinking of using it in my (passive) SBMM Joe Dart, but decided in the end to stick with the OEM pickup (not least because it's white and matches the rest of the hardware - a case of style over substance, perhaps, but there you go!). These are £99 from Bass Direct and often more elsewhere, so I think £75 posted is a fair price. If you can collect from Mapperley in Nottingham, I'll knock a fiver off and provide tea and biscuits. Can't say fairer than that! installation_guide.pdf

Nope!

Near-mint (see pix), very robust Höfner violin bass case - with key! Used once only, it has never left the house (I traded the HCT I bought it for, and the upgrade - a 500/1 Artist - came with its own case). I've pictured it with the Artist in to show how snugly everything fits. There are a couple of very minor scuffs, which I've photographed, but they're very difficult to see. The current model (this one is no longer made) costs £138 on Thomann. There's one of these on Reverb at the moment for £144. I actually paid Thomann £83 for this one, so I think this is a very fair price all round. For collection from Nottingham or I can post at buyer's cost (I probably have a suitable box, and Parcelforce would be about £10 - £15, I reckon).

Way more oomph than you'd expect - far more than the TE Elf, for example, and some useful connectors too. GLWTS.

You'll have to change your name when this sells. How about woodytif (The Immediate Family)?

You need to edit the title (tap the three dots, I think, to access edit mode) with *** SOLD ***

Can’t believe this is still here. It’s an absolute classic.
