I'm the lucky new owner of Ead's Silver Series Precision, and what a very lovely bass it is too! A complete gent to deal with, kept me up to date with posting arrangements etc and it arrived supremely well packed. A pleasure to do business with. Many thanks Alain!

My funky little travel bass is getting less use these days and looking for a new home. I commissioned this from Paul Rose (ProseBass) in 2011 to have something to noodle with on holidays and trips. It's been a loyal little companion over the years! Easy to throw in the overhead luggage on flights. I mostly used to wrap it in a towel and pack it into my suitcase. Here are the main details:
Scale - 30"
Overall length tip to toe - 89cm
Weight - 2,596gm (5.7lbs)
Body - Spanish cedar (natural oil finish0
Neck - maple/rosewood
Pickup - BelCat humbucker
Controls - Vol/tone
Bridge - licensed Steinberger typeIt's not the finest luthiery when it comes to finesse (it's a little rough round the edges in some places) but it was never intended to be. It was built to be solid and practical, to withstand the rigours of travel and possibly being thrown about a bit.
It's a really handy bass to have around even when not travelling. I always had it somewhere easily to hand for working out songs or for incidental practicing and twiddling at home. A cool little bass.
Comes with a RockBag which is a tight but snug fit. Price includes shipping in the UK.

Thanks. From the shape of the pickguard it looks very like a 70s Telecaster with the pickup moved to the P position. Agree the headstock shape is a little pointier so maybe a custom build rather than a modded 70s Tele.

@sblueplanet can you post a link to the trailer? Had a look on youtube but couldn't find anything.

Thanks and good to hear that there's been some progress 👍

I'd be interested in a progress update on the Stoneham if anyone knows?

Re nitro or poly finish, if you want a definitive answer it might be worth dropping an email to Hofner HQ at [email protected]. I've done this before on a different matter and had a helpful reply.

Thanks Richard, I love these old BBs but unfortunately it's a little heavy for me. Although considerably less than my old BB2000 which weighed in at a little over 11lbs!

Thanks for all the suggestions! Will check them out and see where that takes me.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a drive pedal with an adjustable frequency X-over which allows the lower freqs through unmolested and only applies drive to freqs above the X-over? I'm after a vintage/valve break-up type of sound (not heavy drive or fuzz) to add character and thicken up higher notes while keeping the punch and attack of 'dry' low notes intact. Thanks for any suggestions.

Or is periodic reposting the only way to keep a wanted post visible? Thanks

I think the N7 serial indicates 1997 rather than 2008.

Current tuners are 84grams each, so a total of 336grams.
Is this tuner weight for a new Stingray Special or an old style Stingray?

I've been meaning to experiment with adding a couple of small inline resistors (as above) to a standard VVT wiring setup, but I believe that just backing of both vols slightly has the same effect. Backing off both vols certainly allows for smoother variations in tone when blending the pups. You do lose a bit of volume but that's easy to make up at the amp input gain.
