On hold

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"

Really nice short scale Japanese Jazz Bass. I imported it myself from new & from what I can see online it was only really available in Australia & Japan. Specs are at https://www.fender.com/en-AU/electric-basses/jazz-bass/made-in-japan-junior-collection-jazz-bass/5682100306.html Not had more than home use & close to new condition - scratchplate still has protective plastic on! Includes gigbag, tags etc. Currently strung with Low Tension La Bella flats, but have the.original rounds to throw in too. Price is cash/collected from Newcastle, but can post (have original box). Pics: -

Giving this a bump - I'll throw in postage for £400 👍

Thanks @Marc S - it's a beaut! 👍

Thanks - it is! They've made some nice tweaks to the design on this one. Couple of demos here: - https://youtu.be/QYTQdiM6J8w?feature=shared https://youtu.be/6a_kwMMN2N4?feature=shared

A bit undecided about moving this lovely bass on, but need to make space for something incoming. It started life as a regular Squier Vintage Modified Short Scale Jaguar bass & has had a few upgrades: - - EMG Geezer Butler PJ set in coral & new Hosco knobs to fit the pots - Hipshot Licenced Ultralite machine heads - Red tort scratchplate - Generic high mass bridge - Fingerboard edges rolled & neck taken to a smooth matte finish I was going for a '60s Jazzmaster look & I think it turned out great! Weighs in at 7lb using luggage scales & plays really nicely. Cash / collection from Newcastle preferred, but postage should be fine with this one...

I know what you mean about the strap button placement - the Gotoh buttons definitely help with that & make it feel more solid on a strap than other Danos I've had. I found it works best slung a little lower & sits nice next to my ever-expanding belly! 🤣👍
