    **SOLD** Beautiful acoustic guitar. Handmade in Canada. Seagulls are part of Godin. It has a built-in tuner and electronics allowing you to connect it to an amp. It comes with a Gator GigBag, a strap, a new set of strings, and two books. The Coastline S6 Slim CW Spruce QIT is an ideal choice for players who prefer the brighter sound of a Select Solid Spruce top, as well as the great feel and superb sound provided by a hand-finished neck with a slimmer, more traditional nut width. The cutaway and QIT electronics also make this a great choice for the gigging musician. I no longer play guitar. I just don't have the heart to keep it in gigbag and not play it if someone else can enjoy it. I may consider swapping it for a passive Feder P-bass (I would pay the rest in cash) or a decent bass preamp pedal Top Material: Solid Spruce Body Material: Wild Cherry Inlays: Dot Number of Frets: 21 Scale Length: 25.5 inches Nut Width: 1.72 inches Neck Material: Silver Leaf Maple Fretboard Material: Rosewood Finish/Color: Natural Electronics: Godin EPM Quantum IT (QIT) Case: Gigbag It is a dreadnought slimline cutaway guitar. Here is a video review of that guitar:

    Just installed my new Jazz Bass VVT loom from John. I am very happy with the purchase. Also, John was very helpful and answered all my questions. It is beautifully made. It sounds great. It helped me to get more treble from my Fralin Split Coils. I'll be back if I ever need any looms in the future. John's loom on the right:

    Hey @ftpart, apologies for the late response. I am out of the home currently (will be back shortly). The weight is as described in the first post - 3.53kg / 7.78lb ( I used my little luggage scale ). Can you please send me a Private Message if you are interested? (that way I will get a notification). Many thanks

    I am moving Houses at the moment, so it will now be Leighton Buzzard (LU7 2PB) instead of Tring for collection. Alternatively, as mentioned earlier, I can post it within the UK using an insured courier. This would be at the buyer's risk and expense. I have a guitar shipping cardboard box.

    Purchased today Maruszczyk Elwood short-scale bass from @petergales. It was a long journey up north, but well worth it. Pete is a nice person. The communication and the transaction went smoothly. We had a little chat. I can highly recommend this basschater

    Really nice bass. If only you were a bit closer...

    I was rather thinking about one of the smaller companies like Public-Peace or BassFreaks as they have some Maruszczyk basses in stock.

    Has anyone tried importing any bass from the EU recently?

    Hey, do you know how much it weighs?
  13. jacq
    Any examples of such instruments?

    Well, they might be...

    Active pickups vs active preamp: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/active-pickups-vs-active-preamp.554985/ Sire - don't like them (just my personal preference). Had one briefly and the qc wasn't great. It was quite rough actually. I have considered both Sandberg and Sadowsky, but they are both slightly above my budget.

    Hey, I've been playing my Fender Player Plus Active PJ for I while now (my first bass) and while I enjoy it I'd like to add a Jazz(y) bass as a second instrument. I could then have my PJ strung with flatwounds. Now, there is one thing that can make me stop enjoying even the best instrument, that is the noise. Single coil pups are famous for being noisy. I know that there are ways to minimise it, but I don't want to go that route. I don't want to but something and then spend time modding it or shielding it. This is why I'd ideally like to buy something with Active Pickups that are noiseless (Fender's "Noiseless" are not truly noiseless). Also, I'd rather aim for sub 4kg instruments. Also, I didn't mention, I am interested in 4 string basses only. I've checked what is currently offered online by most of the retailers... and there is not much in £1K (+/- £200) budget. The closest thing I found (which isn't available anywhere) is Shecter J-4 Exotic with EMGs or Cort GB Modern 4 (with Nordstrands, which I don't thing are active). Any suggestions, ideas? PS. Sire is out of scope.

    Hi Mark, Thank you for the offer, but I am interested in electric bass in person lessons.

    Hey, I'll be looking for a tutor in this area soon. Couple years passed since last post. Any recommendations?

    Hey all, New on the forum and still quite new to bass. I am glad to be here and I hope to learn a lot from the more experienced bass players. Possibly meet some of you in the future. J
