Frankly surprised this is still here after 18 hours; were it not collection only I would have had to snap up this stonking bargain.  @gafbass02 if you change you mind on that, give me a shout please.

Lovely bass.

I'm going to be "that guy" and ask for the exact weight...  sorry.

an iPhone on the same wifi network as this will work as a remote control. We have to do this when our remote periodically goes missing - often down the back of a sofa.

You need the remote initially to set it up.

I'd like to walk away with these.

Brrrrrr...

I’d forgotten all about this.

My UMC22 started suddenly to whine about two years ago but I got it fixed somehow by disconnecting/re-connecting the device and/or by audio settings. Unfortunately can't remember anymore how I did it.

But now it started to whine again (at 14 kHz).

I got temporary rid off hearing that by untapping 'Listen to this device' on Windows speaker icon/Recording Devices/Recording/Stero Mix/Properties/Listen.

According VU display of Windows mixer whining is still there but not coming out of the speakers nor to the recordings anymore.

Would be nice to understand where this squealing is coming from. Is there really something broken on UMC22 or could this still be just some software (audio feedback?) issue.

 

Well this is long gone, no idea where so I’ll withdraw this.

Good quality tuners, came off a MIJ Fernandes so very probably genuine but unbranded Gotoh.

2+2 style, for a 14mm diameter hole.

Unit only no remote or cables looks like it fires up okay, outputs to a TV, and connect to a wired network, but that’s as far as I can go without a remote.  
 

Few quid for postage?

Might be open to trades, show me what you have.

Very generous.

13 hole Single ply white, still has plastic wrap protector. Came off of a Squier.

£15 delivered uk mainland 

Fun little thing, but not really using it. Would trade for an actual (bass) synth about the same size.

£30 delivered 

Lovely, roasted, maple fender, precision neck, classic 50s, with vintage skinny frets.  Virtually no play wear.

was set up with Sandberg, tuners and string retainer.

nut slots are a tiny bit too wide at the top but strings sit snuggly at the bottom.  The slot slots are angled slightly downwards towards the headstock correctly.

 very light weight 700 g neck, ideal for a lightweight build. 
Gloss finish on the front, but a lovely satin finish on the back. 
neck plate and screws included

£185 delivered, but a little bit less if collected

This is my one and only price drop before taking my chances on the 'Bay.

Squier body, lovely wood grain but wood unknown, maybe ahathis? Good condition, Just a small ding on the back and a small scratch on the edge. Please see pictures.

13 hole gold anodised pick guard 

wilkinson bridge (brass saddles)

Tonerider TRP1 pickup

kiOgon wiring loom

lightweight (Just over 2.3kg fully loaded)

neck pocket 64mm wide 15.5mm deep

£165 delivered or less of collected

If you want it a bit cheaper or don’t want the extra parts, I can sell it as stock for £90 delivered. It will come with a single ply white scratch plate, original pickups, wiring loom and bridge. You will need to wire these back in. 

Mate, you’ll regret selling it.

That is lovely

Price dropped to £550 + postage but won’t be going any lower, too much invested in the parts. 
 

I would really hate to part this out, it looks and plays so great.

@Sharkfinger They'll only guarantee the fit if it's from an approved audiologist. Cosmic use second-bend impressions, which are a little deeper down the ear canal than some others use, and they issue specific guidelines for audiologists to follow when taking the moulds.  They will accept moulds that aren't from their approved people, but if you use the approved ones and the fit needs tweaking, I think (if I recall correctly) they'll do the first adjustment for free. If you're up north, their in-house person does weekly appointments at Cosmic's place in Manchester, and their recommended person in London is Gisele who does the fitting for all the majority brands for all the big artists and is wonderful. 

Thanks for the clarification, you’re absolutely right.
Yeah, Gisele really takes great care with her work, easy to see why she’s the go-to.

Thanks everyone for replying. Really appreciate your answers. Going to go for some moulds over the next week or so. 

One thing to bear in mind; when I got mine done from CE, they only accepted moulds from 'approved' audiologist.   EDIT: it has been pointed out that this is not true, they are accepted but fit not guaranteed.  See the reply here:

Seeing if there’s any interest in this beaut I’ve recently built from good quality parts. My version of a Vintera bass, but even lighter as I fancied a roasted maple neck.

currently strung with round wound elites nickels, medium gauge, and a low action.

GAS never sleeps and I have my eye on something else.

Fender Mex roasted maple neck

gloss front, satin back

vintage frets

sandberg lightweight tuners and string retainer

Squier body, unknown wood

Tonerider TRP1 pickup

Anodized Aluminium pickguard 

KiOgon wiring loom 

Wilkinson Bridge

3.4 kg and balances brilliantly, no neck dive

will be sold without bass x-tender, so will source a matching sandberg tuner.  

But if you decide to go for US made ones and are near Hertfordshire, hit up these guys:

UK reseller for most of the major brands.  They do temporary moulds so you can try out different brands and models, and deal with the whole process of ordering and deals with any support issues.

My go-to recommendation for a UK manufacturer is Cosmic Ears.

I have the version of the CE6P (CE6B?) that favoured bass frequencies but don't see that on their site now.  Pretty sure  @Higgie has CE IEMs as well.

Nice, you went for a Sandberg style string retainer.  Good call.

If only there was a ‘drool’ reaction emoji available 

The tracking on this 10+ year old pedal is unbelievable.  I auditioned it against a Boss OC-5 and the tracking was _at least_ as good.  In fact, I bought it over the OC-5, purely as an octave pedal.
