Andy has kindly dropped the box off so the bass should be ready to post by the end of the week. There's a few people who've expressed firm interests in a straight sale which is my preferred option so I'll be working through the personal messages in order of receipt to try and finalise everything. I'll not bump the thread again unless everyone pulls out and it needs bumping or to update the bass as sold and gone.

Sheffield indeed, a stones throw from Andydye (if you can throw a stone about 5-10 minutes walk). I may take you up on the box offer Andy, I'll PM you tomorrow if Rich Tone aren't able to assist.

Thanks Andy, much better than I was able to manage! I'm playing so infrequently these days that it seems a waste to keep it. I've had a few enquiries via PM and thought I'd update my position on a couple of things. 1) Posting - I'm heading to my local music shop tomorrow for some bits and to sell an old synth and I'm hoping they'll be kind enough to supply me with a sturdy card bass box. If they do, I'll be able to courier the bass as long as I can pack it well enough. If the soft case doesn't fit in there as well then I'll keep it and knock £30 off the price. 2) Trades - I'm only playing guitar and trumpet these days so rather stupidly for a bass site, I'm not looking for any bass trades! If I do need a bass in future, I've got my old workhorse on standby so I'm covered there, although a couple of very nice trade offers have come through and it's been tough to pass on them. Also, I've always kept a very compact pedalboard and I'm covered in that respect. I'd only really be interested in a trade for a telecaster or a decent intermediate trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn or similar Bb instrument. Oddly specific I know! If you do have something to trade that doesn't fit in with the above, then feel free to ask. I'm not going to be a jerk to you if it's not one of the things listed above and I'll give consideration to everything that comes in. Maybe I don't know how much I want it until I see it!

Ah, general bass porn? Sure thing. Apologies again for the poor quality phone pics. Back Headstock and a little fretboard Fancy angle shot. Should give an idea of how thin the body is. The bass is very lightweight as a result.

Yep, it was bargain of the year when I got it through BC and while I'm sure I could get more for it elsewhere, I wanted to give someone on here the option of buying it for the same great deal I got.

After much deliberation and having not played bass in a band for over 2 years, I've come to the conclusion that this bass isn't getting the love and attention it deserves so I've decided to sell it along with various other items in a clearout. It's a beautiful bass, a through neck which I believe is made of wenge and mahogany with an ebony board and a silver stained top (maple or ash, I forget). It plays and sounds fantastic, the only slight cosmetic issue is the fret markers which are cut too far into the fretboard from the 17th marker up. They've been filled and have no effect on the way instrument plays, they're just there if you look for them. It's had criminally little home use. I've taken it to practice once to try through a friends amp but other than that, it hasn't left my room. I paid £400 when I bought it and I'd like the same figure back as this is still a lot of bass for the money. The bass comes in a soft case and with Schaller straplocks. I'd rather not trust it to couriers due to the soft case and I get travel anxiety so collection is preferred but I could get the train a reasonable distance for a contribution to the fare. UK sale only I'm afraid. I'm not looking for any trades at the moment. Any questions please ask. It was andydye's before it came to me so hopefully he can jump in if I've missed anything off! Apologies for the bad phone picture.

My utter hatred of driving is the only thing stopping me buying this

Are you after any trades or is it sale only?

For sale/trade Subdecay Flying Tomato fuzz. Fantastic sounding fuzz with a few neat features, such as external bass/treble controls, an input buffer meaning the pedal can take active or passive pickups and works anywhere in the signal chain and a bias control for that spluttery 'velcro' fuzz sound. Sadly underused since I got it and I'm having a clearout so this is going. Comes with the box as pictured. Pedal is in good condition apart from the front where you can see the lettering is coming off. I don't really have any trades in mind at the moment but you can ask! Asking for £50 + P&P.
