2010 US Stingray, 2EQ, CAR with rosewood board. One of the limited edition 133 basses, full fat ‘ray but with a soft gig bag case instead of a hard shell job. This is in excellent condition with one very minor ding on the top edge, and the pickguard is quite marked but obviously easily replaceable. Comes with a Hipshot D-tuner (long key though instead of short… doh), if you want the original tuner key I’ll chuck it in. I’ve also replaced the pickup with a Nordstrand MM4.2, which sounds flippin’ great. She’s quite heavy (10lb) but with a decent wide strap it feels ok. Loathe to post this but can at buyer’s (insured) expense, or can meet in person at either Portsmouth, Southsea, Southampton or Lymington (I’m on the I.O.W.)-

Purchased at the end of March this year, in mint condition, used a few times but just not for me. Comes complete with genuine Boss soft carry case and Boss power adapter. Will also chuck in the USB cable which you can use to connect to a PC. £200 plus postage from the I.O.W-

I’ve been looking on Keisel’s website. Some VERY tasty options on their bass builder page… 😎
-
That’s nice. I don’t think I’ve heard of those Squiers before.
-
No, because I’ve struggled with it generally. I’ve always wanted one since I started playing, but the neck and weight of it has put me off. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lovely example, but I’m now at an age where I don’t really want to be fighting it for 2+ hours while gigging it.
-
Thinking of moving it on if anyone is interested…. 😂
-
Phew! To be fair I had no idea about these limited models or their price point. I kind of shrugged off the fact that it came with a soft case as I just assumed the previous owner preferred it over a hard case. One thing I will say about it is that it is heavy, (10lb) - it was listed as alder, but it’s heavier than any jazz bass I’ve owned. I’ve also replaced the pickup (weak G output, as per…) with a Nordstrand MM4.2.

I bought it used earlier this year from Bass Bros. Candy Apple Red, 2eq, soft case, 2010 model…: £1500 😬
-
I think I have one of these limited edition ones, and given what you’ve said about them, I may well have paid over the odds for it….🥺
-
Ahh mate you’re a star! I will definitely be in touch (after this weekend…. 😎) Really kind of you Matt. 😁
-
Just spotted a Schecter P5 on Rich Tone’s website, these have a 35in scale so that’s definitely one to add to the list.
-
Thank you guys, I should add that weight is also a consideration. I bought a full fat US stingray back in March (4 string) and apart from realising ‘rays aren’t really for me, the thing is heavy, so it will probably end up in the for sale section in order to fund something P/5/tasty.

Morning all, I’m interested in your opinions/experiences of 5er Ps, particularly Fender or Sire. I’ve found myself drawn back to 5ers since picking up an RB Streamer last year, but I’m after something a bit more traditional looking. My main concern with 5 string Ps is the B string - do they have a certain amount of clarity or have you found them to be a bit on the wooly side? Fanx. 😊

Jaw droppingly good albums for bass players to hear

Jamiroquai - The Return of The Space Cowboy. Stuart Zender is magical on this, easily my favourite Jamiroquai album. All killer, no filler. -
Help me! 4ohm cab or 8ohm cab to use as an ext cab for a Markbass combo?
-
The guitarist impressed me the most. Plays like the secret love child of Nile Rogers and Edward Van Halen… 😁
-
High Fade last night @ Strings Bar and Venue, I.O.W. Ridiculously good. So much so that I’m off to sell all my gear in the For Sale forum. Bastards. 😁

@Happy Jack same day but 2 years after you. 😎

It’s a 1st gen Squier Affinity so I can’t imagine it has something as fancy as a compound radius, but thank you for the heads up. 😊
-
Hi all, Thinking of ripping the frets out of my Squier Affinity jazz, I’m pretty sure some of you have done this too, so please share any hints/tips/do’s/don’t’s. Also looking for recommendations for somewhere to purchase wood veneer for the fret slots. Ta very much in advance. 😎

Apple Music for me. For no other reason than I have an iPhone, unlimited data on my contract (so I can stream in the car and at work without worrying about data usage) and I’d never subscribed to a streaming service before. I like it. Sound quality is excellent, and have had zero issues trying to find an album/artist. 😊

Level 42 - True Colours MK at his most creative RHCP - BSSM Flea’s Wal tone and joyous lines Brad - Shame Jeremy Toback’s sublime playing on this - one of Seattle’s lost gems Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet Dan Roberts high in the mix and so melodic Stone Temple Pilots - Purple or Tiny Music - Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop Robert DeLeo is an absolute beast on these two albums 😊 -
