Cheers! 🙂

Jaccjazz bought a Yamaha bass from me & he was a joy to deal with. Great comms, prompt payment & no issues at all - would definitely not hesitate to do further deals in the future. Enjoy the bass! 😁👍

Got a ‘64 Hofner Verithin, that’s super light.

Nice bass! I see the machine heads have been swapped out - is there any neck dive?

What are you looking for short scale wise to trade?

Nothing specific in mind yet, Mark. Something lightweight is pretty much my only real criterion yet...

Sold locally - thanks for the interest!

Bump - could do it for £300 posted...

Blatant plug, but put my 32" scale Yamaha Motion Bass up for sale...

What's the neck like on this - chunky or not, wide or thin? 

Best way to describe it is compact & really comfortable - it has a Jazz-style 1.5" nut & Fender spacing at the bridge, but less of a pronounced taper than a Fender in terms of neck profile. Having said that, it doesn't feel chunky & it certainly doesn't feel wide. I have had a go on a couple of Spector & Warwick basses over the years that have a similar feel.

Not sure if that's helpful, but If there are any specific measurements you would like to know then give me a shout...

Open to offers on this one... 😁👍

Shameless plug - put my DB200H head up for sale. Great sound, but too much power for me at home...

Probably an idea to mention it, though.  It is kind of what the feedback system is for.  If there are folks out there who are not prepared to take any responsibility once a bass has left thier possession the rest of us would like to know.

It's a fair point, Paul. I'm on the fence on this one - I haven't explicitly asked the seller for anything to help sort this out, but equally it felt like a very dismissive response when I raised it & that's now things should work round here.

Will have a think, but not keen on having the headache of the inevitable hassle it will trigger if it can be cheaply fixed...

Thanks all - it's a fair point that the seller wouldn't have known & that's why I'm not trying to pursue it for reimbursement - it's more the attitude, especially as a strap button has been roughly repaired after what looks to be a knock & that wasn't called out either. Been close to a bad feedback rant, but thought better of it!

Hope to see a luthier today & fingers crossed they can sort it... 🤞

Thanks all - I think drilling will be the answer so I'm going to take it to a luthier rather than have a blast myself. The stainless steel screws look to be a winner - great tip!

Hopefully won't be an expensive fix, but still a bit miffed the seller washed their hands on this one - not the most disastrous deal I've ever had, but not great & thankfully not typical of people on here...

Cheers! 😁👍

Thanks for the info - it's broken below the body line, so drilling it out might be the only option & so probably looking at a pro fixing it.

Never had this scenario before - must have been some serious sweaty playing going on to cause this, eh!?!

Hi - I recently bought a bass on here & when it turned up it was in a worse state than I expected. Most of it is fixable, but on trying to remove the bridge for a clean, one of the screws had corroded to such a degree that the head came straight off on the first turn!

Any idea how to fix this one? It's a Fender-style mount & all I can think of is drilling it out then gluing in a dowel before redrilling a hole for a new screw.

I raised it with the seller & he wasn't much help - his response was that it was a 'shame'. Damn right, eh!?! 😡

Did a deal with David recently & he's been an absolute pleasure to do a deal with - great comms, straight up & no hassles whatsoever. Enjoy! 😁👍

What's the nut width, please?

It's a Jazz width - 1.5"

Very cool indeed. If you offered postage I am sure this would be snapped up in hours!

Mmmm - don't have materials around just now unfortunately...

Glad you said collection from Newcastle , I think my wife would probably divorce me if I got yet another bass without moving one on

I can relate to that! 🤣👍

What does the red button do? (curious)

It's a coil tap
