I have replaced this so need to sell. Offers anyone ?

I've got 2 hagstroms already, and would love this. How much to buy ?

In excellent condition. No marks, sounds good, and with a new valve.

£580 including postage. Or collect from Reading / Basingstoke or Oxford.

Still for sale.

No, ( Mr Happy ) not the school, or ( Dad ) the county. Now in hampshire, but started life in Buckinghamshire.

Ian, sorry, just seen your reply. If you're still interested, please send me a message. Richard

Well i've got it back from Joe White ( my friend and luthier ) and it's fine. Really pleased with it. Had to change the truss rod as it was a push - pull type, not just a tightening one. Frets all ok, and it sounds just as it should. Actual scale length is 30.5 ".

Pictures would be attached, but I have used over my 30 MB global upload quota. Anyone know how to get over this ?

I decided not to do the mods myself, but it is now being modified. Should have it back in a week or so with pictures.

And you're a month older than me !

Thank you Dad. I used to get the 353 bus to school, a long time ago.

[sub]OK, how about £490 ?[/sub]

Reduced again to £290.

thank you all for your comments. I didn't realise it changed the sound that much but now having tried a pick, I see what you mean. My main concern was about speed tho', not sound, so I'll keep trying the pick and see if I can get a bit faster.

There is mention of finger nails. I use my fingers, not my nails. Is this normal ?

Hi Skez. No sorry, I've got to many basses already. Rich

When I re-started playing after a long gap, I was playing 60's covers. Now joined a new band and we're playing newer stuff. It's easier in some ways - less runs to learn, but faster to play. I've always used my fingers, but should I try a plectrum for more speed ?

How about £530 ?

Surely a Christmas bargain ?

So as long as I get the nut in the right place, where the 2nd fret was, it should be ok ? It sounds ok with the capo, so I don't think the pup position needs to change.

I think the only problem will be the fret markers, as lond as I can alter the truss rod.

Anyway, I've got the saw ready.

I've tried a capo, and the frets and intonation are fine. Re the strings, I am going to fit the adaptor so I can use single ball end strings. Just got to have a look at the truss rod. Not sure about the dot markers.

Where's my saw.

Thank you Mr Axe.

Thanks for your replies. As to Why - I don't know really. I can modify the truss rod. And I would cut it so that the nut would be where the 2nd fret was.
I'll post the results later.

Hi, I have a normal, 34" scale headless bass, which I want to change to a short scale, 30". It looks as though I can cut the top 2 frets off, and the frets will line up with my other basses which are 30" scale. Then for example the 14th fret will become the new 12th fret, and hopefully the intonation will work.

Any thoughts ?

I can't figure out what Bill is playing in the first part of the verses, when it's just in E. Can anyone help me with a tab for this ?

Reduced price a bit more. Any offers ?

I've now bought a 4 string version, so need to sell this. Price reduced to £320.

Now back on sale - lovely bass but too many strings for me.
