Bought a Sire U5 from Andy - great fellow to deal with and bass exactly as described.

GR Bass Carbon Fibre Combo for sale or trade. TRADED.

Easy transaction - top man. -
I'm interested in these- looking for something super lightweight as I enter the creaking age. Any good?

She's a pretty little thing. Seafoam Green or whatever the equivalent Dano colour is. In pretty good nick - couple of marks and blemishes which I've shown on the picture. I guess you either want one or you don't. It's long scale which, if you've played one you'll know and never forget, means very long. I just haven't got on with it. I was going to stick it on a wall but that's really a fate no bass guitar deserves. It should be played. Bought 2nd hand pre-lockdown and I have used it for one rehearsal since then and minimal playing at home. It's strung with flats which is nice. No case so collection only - or meet up somewhere appropriate. I'm based in Cookridge in Leeds. -

Cheers John! -
The afternoon I was going to have it! Drat. -
Is this still available? -
There aren't many Superlights in the wild! I went looking and if I didn't want to by a custom one I could only find 3 4 string versions for sale in the whole of Europe. I ended up buying one that was shipped to Leeds from Madrid. Guess what - it's superlight! Haven't gigged with it yet but it feels lovely to play.

Just picked up a Talman 30 in ivory. Pricy for second hand - £135 - but the bloke had fitted flats to it. Not plugged into my big amp yet but good through headphone amp and great fun to play. -
Too late now!

It's one of the old Cedar batch.

This is from Reverb

Sod it - went for the Redburst in Spain. Did more reading, thought about my back, what I need is something pretty versatile and ultra light that's of impeccable quality. Didn't think I'd get much better for the cash. Now I have to think about the various things I could do with flogging to compensate US Telecaster anyone? How about a Sire V7, Danelectro 63 Long scale, Jack Casady Signature Epiphone in gold, Revelation RPB65, a Sterling Sub in Walnut, a Trio pedal or a Korg D1600 multitrack recorder, or even a Sheffield Wednesday season ticket anyone?!

This is their Leeds stock.

I’ll Google furiously but I can’t see there’ll be many Sandberg SLs or Elwood Ls close by. Bass Direct is a 5 hour round trip and I’m working.
-
It never ends. Attracted by the Sandberg and Elwood L looks pretty good. Obvious problem living in Leeds I can't just pop to the shop and play one and it isn't chicken feed we're talking.
-
That’s what actually promoted my thoughts. When I saw they were round the 8lb mark I was interested. New they’re a bit over budget and there’s very few second hand about. Likewise the Sandberg SL basses. Few and far between.

And then I found this amongst others:- https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mensinger_Joker_4p.html

Found one in Spain 🤔
-
I can only see 2 4 strings for sale that are in stock anywhere. On is a TT and I already have a jazz style Sire so was going for something different. The other is in natural finish with no fret markings on the front of the neck. Looks a bit austere. Bass Direct quote a 9 month wait for a custom model and I think I'd probably burst!

My old Jazz felt like it was crippling me!
-
I'll be honest it's the aura as well as the fact that I want to be Bernard Edwards and Cliff Williams
-
There are very few 4 strings kicking about. I'd be happy with a VM or a TM, I'm thinking a 4 and I'm not a fan of the natural style - although I haven't seen one in the flesh.
