Final bump, bass will go to the gallery on Monday much love

Great pedal and totally agree re blending. Never sure why that was not a feature of the pedal….

In answer to the questions: 1 Kind of. I think the pickups are now wired in parallel but were originally series, so this gives a slightly different flavour. Also both pickups are slightly further back than a regular jazz spacing (perhaps the rear is closer to 70s) so not quite the jazz sound but close overall. 2 I don't know, but I think it might be New Jazz Hybrid. I've got a feeling I tried a white one of these in the gallery and Martin may have mentioned it then.... Or I could just be imagining that.... It would make sense as most of the bass is a kind of evolution of a regular jazz Hope that's helpful

Hello fella! possible, did you end up with an 6er of mine at one stage….?

Thanks guys, looks lovely but I must resist!!!

Hello all. This is wonderful - feels and looks fantastic. I picked it up from Steff last year, great bass but simply not using it. Most of my gigs these days are either DB or P bass with flats, I've used this on a few function style gigs and it truly kicks like a mule Specs: Top - Claro Walnut Body - Ash with Bubinga tone block Neck - Flamed Maple and Purpleheart Fretboard - Curly Bubinga Pickups - Kent Armstrong Preamp - Noll 3 band with semi-parametric mid sweep. 24 Fret 34” Scale 18mm string spacing Weight is around 4.1-4.2kg Dadarrio nickel XLs Condition is excellent - a few very minor dings as you might expect Hope you don't mind Steff but I've included a few of your photos as they are much better than mine! Also, no pen and paper to hand this morning so I have enlisted the help of a lego robot to evidence ownership. I will most likely take the bass down to the gallery fairly soon, back to it's spiritual home. Posting here to see if there is any interest before I do so. Open to trades - yes, and happy to consider anything of comparable quality. The price is the price though. Shipping is an option in which case I'll include a Sadowsky gig bag. Cheers, Abd

Wonderful I absolutely love this

very nice I had a 5 string version for a while - it does take a little bit of figuring out but once done this is the closest thing (at the moment) to 'proper' control of a synth with a bass. The key thing to get your head around imo is that synths work differently to basses so you can't necessarily expect to control them using a bass string and get the same outcome. If you are into or using synths though well worth checking out. Not sure about yours James but mine worked really nicely as a regular bass as well

let’s hope that whoever buys this gives her a good home and doesn’t have to flipper

You can go about your business

Wonderful fretless bass and I think fairly well known This is the more unusual 20th Anniversary model, it has an ash body, Aguilar pickup and EQ (instead of the usual Bartolini) and the sunburst finish which I think Ibanez call tequila sunrise (?) It is a fantastic fretless bass, everything about the design works really well, it's light and resonant and the Aguilar electronics give plenty of musical variation The bass is currently strung with Dadarrio XLs but I do have a set of Dadarrio flats which can be swapped out if preferred. They are older but work really well on the bass Enlisting the help of R2D2 to evidence ownership Any questions let me know!

Thanks peter looks like different controls and bridge to the original pics, great bass though

Lovely bass Could you confirm the controls please, with three stacked pots and a passive tone I’m counting one too many? One passive tone per pu? cheers abd

Concur and lots of ka pickups on seis wonderful bass glwts

@lee650…..?

Thanks for listing this plethora, it means a lot I am so sorry

Sure, here you go: Also I've had a question on the size, the pickups measure 91mm front and 95mm bridge. Both are a fraction under 17mm wide without the screw fixings. Depth required would be anything over 25mm to allow for solder and wiring on the bass. Hope that helps but let me know if you have any other questions gang!

I really do not need this but boy it looks cool in chrome

Good day to you. Bought these ages ago, can't remember when or why although I assume it was to do with bass guitars. I believe they are active pickups but they can be used without battery if required. Greater minds than mine would need to work that out. Most of the packaging refers to Model 9E as you can see on the manual although label for the box shows 9S - you can just about see this in the first photo on the right handside. From a nostagia point of view very nice though, all the original bart diagrams, warranty etc. Most of it was obviously hand drawn back in the day, nice. The pickups have previously been used and the wires cut straight although there is plenty of wire still left so not an issue. Looks like the hot wire for the battery has been extended too. Been sitting on my shelf for too long now, I'm not going to use then so up for grabs. No idea on price but the £60 will include UK postage. I would like a decent (i.e. sturdy and confidence inspiring) stand that will fold down small-ish and take an offset body style bass if you fancy a trade (starfish type thing?)

Nice out of curiosity are these p bass necks or j bass on a p body?

That’s really nice. Did they originally come with emgs? I’m sure I played one similar for a few years back in the 90s

Important to note: if Peter has owned this it will have been impregnated with synth magic, this will not be your average c4!! glwts

Sweet

That’s a great demo, loving the skanky bass faces!! glwts
