Hi - this is a really cute short scale (29.5" scale) Jazz from Bacchus in a lovely Dark Lake Placid Blue finish that I imported from Japan a while back. Nice & light at 7.4lb according to my luggage scales. Didn't feel the need to mod it as, so all original & has only seen home use since I bought it. Still have the original box & branded gig bag too so UK shipping is an option if collection from Newcastle wouldn't work for you... Let me know if you need any more pics... 👍

Thanks - now sold... 👍

Hi @Raslee - using cheap luggage scales it comes in at just under 8lb. Balances really well too...

Hi - ordered this from the States as part of the recent limited run (apparently it's one of 158 globally), but it isn't seeing much use so putting it up for sale. Really nice instrument & one of the best short scale Precision-style instruments that has passed through my hands. I originally bought it as a modding platform & it briefly had Ultralites / rounds fitted, but I preferred it as stock so restrung with the Ernie Ball flats. Also comes with a really good padded Sterling gig bag. I'd prefer a cash/collection deal, but UK postage may be an option as I have the original box. Could potentially trade for a short scale bass, but nothing specific in my sights just now...

Hi - bought this on here a while ago & it's lovely, but putting it up for sale as it's not seeing a lot of use just now & it deserves to be played... This is one of the Dan Lakin (Lakland founder) range that Ashdown put out for a while. It's a really well-thought out take on a Jazz with a really nice oil-finished neck, Hipshot Ultralite tuners & the Inca Silver body is proportioned just right to the shorter scale (unlike a few I've tried...). Really light at 3.5kg & strung with D'Addario tapes. Bridge has been swapped out for a vintage threaded one, but I have the original Wilkinson one so will include it along with a gig bag. Pickups are a good pair of single coils & controls are Volume / Blend / Tone. Only thing to point out is the blend is backwards (i.e. turn right to favour the neck) - not sure if that's standard, but not been a problem to me. Collection from Newcastle would be preferred, but UK postage at cost should be fine at cost. I'd consider trades for a short scale bass with cash either way depending on the instrument, but not after anything specific at the moment. Give me a shout if you're interested... 👍

Hi - putting my Sterling Short Scale Stingray up for sale. This is probably one of the loveliest basses I've ever owned - and I've had a few! 😉👍 It's the current Fiesta Red model, but @ash (who owned it before me) replaced the neck with a beautiful roasted maple / rosewood board (instead of maple), so a bit of a one-off. Currently strung with new D'addario Chromes & comes with a spare single ply black plate (made by Armstrong Music) along with tags / box etc. Nice & light at around 3.5kg (7.8lb). Only selling it as the Stingray sound doesn't really suit what I do & I'm after something a bit more old school really. Looking for £480 collected from Newcastle, but UK delivery should be possible at cost & I'd consider trades for another short scale bass with cash either way depending on what you have...

Hi @thebrig - it's 1.75"
