Hi 👋 happy Sunday ! 
 

Is the TH500 still available? 
 

Whereabouts are you ? 
 

Have a good day 😃

Hello! I am based in South / South East London / Surrey. 

Cab on hold and provisionally sold. 

Found it! Finally added photos of the TH500 head and bag. 

Ah shame they won’t support a 73. Looks great. 

Probably worth measuring as even standard Jazz basses come in 60s and 70s spacing, which are different. 

Ugh, this is my perfect bass. Do you want to trade back for your old octave pedals? 😂 

Johann

Ah, shame you’re a distance from London. 

Please add me to the queue on the off chance it falls through!

A bargain pair for someone. 

These are fab - I have the Motion III, it is both a joy to play and sounds amazing.

I thought Ibanez made some of the slimmest necks on the market? Maybe not the 5 string though...

 

This is a bargain.

 

GLWTS.

Yup, slim necks are a problem for causing my fretting hand to cramp up!

Really wish my left hand could manage Soundgear necks without cramping up - that is gorgeous. 

When you fancy getting sadomasochistic on your nuts…

Photos are broken for me, FYI

This is a ridiculous bargain!!!

Is this version 1?

Me three. I use my Dingwall Super P5 for most of my flatwound 5-string P duties and my TRB5P for my roundwounds ones so I definitely don’t need this… but…

I remember, when I was looking around at acoustic bass guitars, that these were THE ones to get. I don’t think I could now justify getting a third when the existing two constantly get ignored for my upright or electric upright, but part of me is tapping me on the shoulder and saying “PLEEEEEEEASE?!”

That looks lovely. Would look lovelier next to my fretted one… 🙈

Intrigued by these. How do they compare to the Pedaltrains? Looks very similar in dimensions to my Classic 2.

Fantastic playing but I would hesitate to say it was putting the instrument to good use as he only used one of the bottom 4 strings once, so there wasn't really anything there that couldn't have been done on 6 strings, or at most 7.

True, in the course of a recital each piece might only use one or two of the strings. I guess it’s similar to how I might only use the B string on my 5-string basses once in certain songs.

This is probably a better example of the sub bass strings being more fully utilised!

Classical guitars can have more strings for extended bass, similar to harp guitars. I have an 8-string short-scale classical guitar handmade by Swedish master luthier Georg Bolin.

Here is a 10-string being put to wonderful use.

Super pickups, I have one in my 1960 Precision.

I hope you mean that in a good way

Absolutely - a medium scale ACG for this money!

Outrageously priced too.
