    Really like that @ped - thanks for sharing. The tone reminded me a little of this, which I love. Not sure who it is or what bass is being played, but I know I like it. EDIT: Dug my CD out and it's Peter Carter on bass. Doesn't really add anything as I don't know anything else he's done 🤷‍♂️.

    Monday morning bump.

    Well, I’m glad I’ve provided some amusement for you. Not sure there was quite the need for the tone you’ve used, but yes, it does highlight that we all have different minds.

    To my mind, there are basses with 5 strings and then there are 5 string basses. The one I suggested is definitely the latter. I would argue that if a deal could be reached with the seller that the OP would lose less (if anything if he felt he wanted to re-sell) than buying a new budget 5’er. I’d have it in a heartbeat, but I don’t need it.

    I know it’s way out of the budget you have posted, but this 5 string will be a belter and if you don’t get on with it, you won’t lose much, if anything. @Doodwill no doubt confirm. As for the muscle memory thing, you’re just gonna have to suck it up, but it can be done. I swap between 4’s and 5’s, sometimes mid set and it is something you get used to.

    Ha ha. ‘Yamaha screams cheap’ made me laugh, especially when the alternative is a Gibson, which I can’t stand. Personal preference I know, but I haven’t played a duff Yamaha yet. Can’t say the same for Gibsons.

    Yes, I know what a three position saddle is thanks. The strings look evenly spaced to me. No thanks. I prefer rosewood fingerboards 😜.

    Ah mate, sort that D string out, it’s messing with my head! 😂

    I think I'm going to crash out before the end of the month.

    I feel as though I should probably buy this from you, but I’m all sorted on the 5 string front. Great looking bass and thoroughly nice chap to deal with. I’m sure this won’t hang around for too long Paul. Speak soon.

    Bump for an exceptionally good Stingray. Although I said no trades, I've had a couple of interesting offers, but the sale of this is going towards a custom build, so I'm looking for a cash sale really.
  12. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    The bass ain’t bad either 😜. Love my Wal.
  13. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Quality rig you have there. Very nice those Handbox amps.

    Going by the ones I know I know who don’t look particularly like who they actually are, or were the time, I’m not surprised there are a few that I have multiple names for. Which ones are you struggling with?
  15. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    No, I don’t. I really really don’t.

    In the words of Lemmy, “Don’t try and dance to this one. You’ll f**k your legs up”.

    A standard HS would usually have a slider/selector and no stack knobs. Even given the mod, I still think it’s work a bit more than the asking price. Nice looking bass. I’m sure it won’t be around for too long.

    Curious as to what the neck profile is like on this. Do you have a means of measuring it at the 1st and 12th?
  19. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    +£7.92 postage! Each to their own, but I’m not sure I like the look of the control cavity. Or the rear for that matter, but that may just be me. Listing states it has electrical issues as well and needs setting up. Hope it turns out OK for ya.

    @Raslee - Have you put your serial number through the MM database? On the assumption that it’s wood from the same batch that is subject to this infestation, it would interesting to know if my bass was in the factory at the same time. Here’s mine....
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I have a feeling I might. I also have a nagging feeling that if I wanted to replace it at some point, I would struggle to find one in as such beautiful condition or sounding anywhere near as good. The only reason for the sale is that I’m about to pull the trigger on a custom build and I’ve already reached my self imposed ‘bass limit’.
  22. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I think I would have seen some indication by now given I’ve had it for two and half years.
  23. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I mite.
  24. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Just checked mine and there are no holes 👍
  25. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    How many similar cases have there been? Should probably go and check mine 😦
