  1. I have for sale this incredible handmade Human Base Jonas 5 in very good condition. Top quality build and sound, a plesure to play. Now has setup a very low action.

    Controls are 3 knobs:
    1st is Volum but also can be push/pull for pasive/active
    2nd is pickup balance
    3rd has 2 knobs stacked: first on top is high freq and the other on butom is low freq.

    Check price for a similar new bass at Siggi or at Thomann if you dare. 😉

    The Human Base Jonas 5 is light, has 4.1 kg (your back will thank you for buying a light bass like this) and is very good balanced. 34 scale, Bartolini electronics, pasive/active (pull/push on volum knob), maple wings, birdseye maple neck, Purpleheart woodtop (very rare) with matching headstock, handmade by Masterluthier Siggi Jäger (Human Base).  I am living just 20 km away from Siggi and know him personaly. He is a very nice and talented man and one of the best luthiers worldwide. The world of good boutique builders is smaler and smaller every day....  I just found out Mike Lull passed away. RiP.

    Every Wal I've had (admittedly all MK 1's) all have had a small crack in the poly finish on the back of the headstock, nothing involving the wood.  Seems to be a Wal thing!

    Good to know.Thanks for details!

    Regarding the CS basses, they’re not mass produced so they are likely to be slightly inconsistent but with longer hours spent on quality checking should mean that none of them are bad basses. The OP is asking for people who have owned multiple PP basses. I don’t think there will be many who have the money to do that. 

    Not necesary to own multiple basses (because people rarely are buying the same custom model more then one), but to compare them in different circumstances. For exemple, 2 or 3 years ago I was in Frankfurt in one musicstore calked "Session" and they had on stock 2 basses (new made, and same perioad) and I could not tell the diference between them. They had the price at the time around 3200 or 3400 euro if I remember corectly and they been for some time in the store. Looks like in the last a few years prices of these models increase considerable.

    I think a lot of it is that they have been quite hard to get hold of in the UK yet they’re very desirable. Especially when you don’t include shipping there have been some advertised around the 2k mark, which is a lot less than thomann 

    These high prices for Pino CS are not only in UK. I wish to find one for £2,000 but I don't think that is posible.

    So, coming back to my question, are there different quality periods in building these basses? I know they are already for some years on market. Anybody noticed a diference?

    New ones are about 4100e. People are selling Pino's around 3000-3300e used. I see also that people are asking close to 4000e but well... You can always ask :) I bought mine for 3200e used.

    We don't need to talk hypothetical if seller will sell his bass cheaper, stores also are flexible with price specialy when they sell so expencive bass... also are coming times like "black friday" 😊

    There is right now one for sale for £3500 which converted in euros is 4,058 euro which is 40 euro less then thomann has them for 4,098 euro.

    A bass from store has a few advantages:

    1. Money back if you don't like the bass

    2. Waranty

    3. Shipping included and insurance paid.

    4. Is not your responsability if something goes wrong with the shipping.

    5. Nobody played that bass in concerts etc... nobody abuse it, and you are sure was carefuly checked before shipping.

    So is 40 euros worth not to pay? I understood your point you can negociate but seller might refuse a negociation or after seller give you a 100 euro less is still worth buy second hand for so an expencive bass???

  6. Hello all!

    I don't write here to much but now I have a question that is bothring me. 😎

    I have seen recently in topic "basses for sale" a few Fender Pino Palladino CS for sale with the same price like the stores have them. I am in Germany and I was searching at Thomann for that.

    My question is: Are there different quality periods in building these basses or what is the reason people are selling second hand basses the same price like the stores sells them new?

    Thanks!
