Potentially trade for a 5 string PJ bass?

A beautifully made bass with rock solid build quality and high quality parts and plating. I'm only selling as it covers similar territory to a twin humbucker Shuker I had made and I allegedly own too many basses.

The following details are copied verbatim from the 2018 ad when it was in the posession of a proper pro musician. I'm trusting that the precision of the weight given means he had access to much better scales than I have in my bathroom.

Neck: Bolt-on Canadian hardrock maple
Fretboard: 24 frets
Scale: 864 mm/34"
Body: mahogany and rarewood imbuia top
Finish: matt
Pickups: 2 Sandberg powerhumbucker - switched split coil on bridge pickup
Preamp: Sandberg 3-band, active/passive
Neck width at nut: 1 ¾”/45mm
String spacing at nut: 8mm
String width at bridge: 2 ⅞”/73mm
String spacing at bridge: 18mm
Weight: 4.11kg/9.06lb

Comes with a Sandberg gig bag

It has a small number of very minor blemishes as shown in the photos for full dislosure; they aren't very noticeable against the grain of the bass.

I'll ship boxed and in the gig bag within the UK at buyer's expense and risk, or could meet up within a reasonable distance of Tunbridge Wells or in London.

Of all the basses I've sold this is the one I'm most reluctant to let go of so there's a slight chance I might withdraw it if my herd thinning resolve weakens....
