Rainbass

Think I may have sounded a bit negative in my description in my urge for full disclosure! It plays very well and is a good way to start (or dabble) in the world of the upright bass, I think.

Selling my honey coloured Stagg EDB which I bought in 2008, and to be honest, has never had much use. It's never been gigged, just used at home and still has the original strings on. The nut broke not long after I bought it, and I had it replaced with an ebony nut by J White guitars in Ash Vale. The dot markings on the side aren't really in the "right" place. They seem to equate to where the dots would be on a fretted instrument, rather than the actual fingering position. I have a feeling Stagg altered this for more recent models. I find that the electronics hiss a lot more than i would expect - I've seen various comments about this being a common issue on the forum and some potential fixes mentioned. I haven't done anything about it as I mainly played it un-amplified at home, but I think this needs some attention, hence the asking price of £250. Ideally, collection from North Devon; I put in the dimensions of it on a courier pricing website, and that would add £30 to the price. If you are in the area, you are very welcome to come over and try it out.

So true - a lot less than I paid for it second hand!

I've decided the time has come to for selling my Shuker J Bass. It is the Lake Placid Blue, "Herbie Flowers" stacked pots model, 4 strings, 34 inch scale and Lindy Fralin pickups. When I have recorded with it the studio engineers have always commented very positively on the tone of the pickups. I've had it for about ten years (bought second hand from Bass Gear), and I had it modified by adding a John East J Retro active preamp. It has a couple of nicks in the top and bottom edges, which I have taken pictures of. They were there when I bought it. It comes with the original Hiscox case. Plays beautifully, and you can feel the quality, but it just isn't getting played enough anymore. It weighs about 4.5kg (weighed on bathroom scales) and I am now playing lighter basses (to save my aging back) so I think it is time to see if there is a better home for it. I'm not looking for a trade, as I'm running out of room to store the ones I have! I've attached some pictures, and will try and get better ones in the next few days. Collection from Devon, or I can ship in the UK and Europe at the buyer's cost and with adequate insurance.

Thanks! Going to go and take a look

Hi do you know what the nut is made of ? Is it a brass Just-a-Nut 1 or a later type? thanks Dave

Hi - is the amp still for sale? Dave

These are really great basses to play - I love mine! Good luck with the sale.

Hi - I had a look at the specs and I think it's rated at 3 Watts, which I don't think will be enough for what I want, which is to be heard against 3 or 4 acoustic guitars.

Hi, is this still up for sale? And how loud is it? (subjective, I know!) cheers Dave

Hi, Saturday bump, is it still for sale?
