    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

    What’s the deal with these? They have a curved base rather than a flat one, in my experience all nut slots are cut flat, so has anyone used these and had to fettle either the nut or slot to get it to fit?

    No spoilers! 😂😂

    Dear lord, what have I done…?

    Hi folks, Any recommendations for fret polishing kits? I’ve just acquired a Highway One Jazz and the frets are, quite frankly, grim. That bloke Paul from Milehouse Studios (check out his YT channel, highly entertaining) would have a field day with this particular bass… What are you guys using…?

    Sunburst on modern basses. It looks fine on instruments designed in the 50s/60s, but not on sleek instruments like Ibanez SRs for instance. Painting a Dingwall in sunburst is like dating Charlize Theron but making her dress in your nan’s clothes.

    Or Basschat without the “B”…

    ***PRICE DROP NOW £1300*** 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. ***EDIT*** now comes with the option of a Warwick Rockbass semi-rigid case - photos added. 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.)

    I’ve been looking on Keisel’s website. Some VERY tasty options on their bass builder page… 😎
  12. Grassie
    That’s nice. I don’t think I’ve heard of those Squiers before.
  13. Grassie
    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.
  14. Grassie
    Thinking of moving it on if anyone is interested…. 😂
  15. Grassie
    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 😬
  17. Grassie
    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….🥺
  18. Grassie
    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.
  20. Grassie
    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. 😊

    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?

      Late to the party here, but almost certainly 8 ohm.  I use a Markbass Mini CMD 121P IV combo with an 8 ohm New York 121 cabinet.  Gives a final impedance of 4 ohms to the amp.  Of course, we'd need to know the exact combo you're talking about...

      All sorted now chaps. Got an 8ohm 2x10 to go with my combo, as recommended by Riccardo at Markbass. Took the lot out last night for a gig, sounded creamy. 😎

    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. 😁
