  1. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  2. Hofner 182 short scale bass from 1962. Really sad to be seeing this one go. Incredible and iconic tone and plays beautifully. I’ve owned this one for about 18 months and it’s still in very good condition (considering it’s age) but it’s a bass that has definitely been played. unfortunately the bass is missing it’s headstock decal. This is a very very light instrument, around 7-8lbs if i had to guess which makes it an absolute breeze to play for long periods. collection preferred but i may be happy to meet halfway or post if needed.
  3. I play with a lot of different artists as well as starting to dabble in pit work and am finding that more and more often that the extra flexibility afforded by a 5 would be very useful, hence the search now. The Sires seem interesting but I think that something with a slightly more modern sound might be more useful for pit work and things like that. Will definitely look at used instruments though!
  4. Hi all, I'm looking at getting a 5er to round out the stable. Ideally I'm looking for something active but beyond that I'm fairly open to anything! I really like the look of the Warwick Rockbass stuff so hopefully that gives you an idea of the vibe I'm going for. I'd like to spend less than £1000. Have at it!
  5. Overall, the bass is great. Excellent factory set up and the rolled fretboard edges are a godsend. I find myself using it in passive mode the majority of the time in my band and then use the preamp as a bass boost for when i need that real kick of lowend. There are unfortunately a couple of QC issues. It seems as though there is with the shielding/grounding of the bass as there is a fair amount of hum for 'noiseless' pickups. As well as this there is a slight issue with the volume pot where the pot itself seems to be loose on the circuit board. These two issues are disappointing on a £1000 instrument but because of how easily fixed they are, I wouldn't let them deter you from taking the plunge if you are interested. In terms of weight, it is by no means light but to me at least there is not too much of a difference between the player plus jazz and my Mexican P bass. unfortunately I don't have any scales to hand for an exact number. It isn't light but its by no means a boat anchor. If you have any more questions dont hesitate to ask!
  6. Annoyingly, it had sold by the time I got the money together to buy it! as its only a small shop this was the last of a batch they had ordered and it would have been a long old time for their next order to arrive.
  7. In the next few days I should be receiving a sparkly new Fender Player Plus 4 string Jazz bass in Olympic pearl and this is my first ever jazz bass (crazy I know!!). I played one a couple of weeks ago in a local music shop and fell in love with the feel and colour of the bass, it played just like butter and its tone was thick and punchy. The active EQ appealed to me as the bass player in a shoegaze/psychedelic indie band (yes shoegaze is still a thing!) as i wanted something with a really broad frequency response. the lack of a passive tone control doesn't bother me either as the passive mode will more or less be a failsafe for me. I was just wondering if anyone had any experiences with these basses or if anyone has found anything to be an issue with the player plus jazz over time?
  8. Just an update as i realise that I left a few bits out of the description, I am open to offers and I would be happy for collection or to arrange postage at buyers expense. This bass is a must own custom order piece that stingray lovers must be drooling over just as I do (don't worry I always make sure I don't actually drool on the bass).
  9. Hi there, i’ve got my 1962 hofner 182 and am not getting as much neck pickup volume as i’d hoped, I’ve checked and there is nothing wrong with the pickups output itself so raising it seems to be my only option. One issue with that, there is no clear way to do so as shown in the images. Any ideas?
  10. just in case anyone wants to check authenticity the serial number is E28730, just realised photo isn’t too clear
  11. This absolute beauty is a 2009 stingray H in Cabernet Pearl with a matching headstock. Included is the OHSC alongside the original case candy. Before i bought this bass strap locks were fitted so i’m including a strap that matches (almost) the colour of the bass. there are a couple of small knicks on the headstock of the bass and a bit of damage to the case which I have captured in pictures (excuse my dogs they really wanted to be in the pictures). The playability of this bass is really outstanding and she really sings. It really pains me to be selling this bass but if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask :).
  12. Does anyone have any experience with modern guild starfire II basses. I have had my eye on them for a while and was thinking about finally taking the plunge.
