I have a hacksaw 🤣

Thanks Jay and you're absolutely right; just weighed it ands it's 7lbs 14-15oz! Typically as I sneaked my wife's kitchen scales upstairs she shouted up had I seen them! I swear she's psychic...

Well of course if you were to buy this you'd instantly sound like him!

I'm not too sure about this one but I've fallen in love with my P Basses again, so am putting this up as a feeler. Its a September 2018 Music Man Stingray Special in natural, complete with case and all the candy. It's in immaculate condition apart from the usual marks and swirls on the pickguard and looks wonderful and plays superbly. It weighs 7lbs 14-15oz (call it 8lbs to be absolutely safe). I'll also include a set of MM official strap locks too. These are stupid money for a new one now and seem to be increasingly hard to find. I'm looking for £1,850 posted. I'd consider a px with a light Fender US P Bass in very good condition.

Thanks Chris. If I could afford to keep hold of it I definitely would. It really is a beaut to play and as you say, it's so convenient to take to gigs etc.

For sale is a Yamaha SLB200 EUB, complete with carry case, the stand (bought at additional cost) and additional extension frame that give more a DB-sized body curve for supporting the bass against the body (costs £132 new). The bass is in overall excellent condition (there are a few very small marks) and I have fitted anti-slip tape to the body extension to improve grip. This can be easily removed though. It plays beautifully and is easily the best EUB I've played in terms of similarity to an acoustic DB and overall quality. After discussions with my band though, I'll be using a DB in future and would like to upgrade my current one. From the Yamaha website: Yamaha's Silent Bass series feature a body and pickup systems designed to bring out the best tone from each instrument. The SLB200 is a performance-oriented bass designed with a light and compact body that makes transport to and from the gig a breeze. The hollow body design and special internally mounted pickup system deliver pizzicatos which are solid, rich, and realistic, and fit naturally into any jazz or pop setting. Built-in electronics offer plug and play simplicity and the detachable frame gives the instrument a feel and playability close to that of an acoustic bass. I'm looking for £2,100 either picked up from near Monmouth or a meet up within an hour is Monmouth. I am willing to post for cost too.

Sorry to hear that John. Having faced my own tribulations and (touch wood) come out the other side, you're in good hands. It goes without saying, let me know if I can do anything at all (apart from buying your Fretless!) and hang tough.

Great looking Bass, John. Hope everything is okay

I bought this to use with my NS EUB but it works equally well with the Yamaha SLB too. As I have the correct stand for the Yamaha though, this K&M one is no longer required. I first saw these on the Gollihur website as I want keen on buying the upgraded NS CR stand and end pin adaptor for what would have been around £250. Gollihur recommended the K&M as a suitable alternative so I bought one from Thomann. The neck holder actually bends to grip the neck tightly and the end pin holder is solid metal and as you'd expect from K&M, it's beautifully built. They're really impressive bits of kit and feel solid as a rock. Cost me £89 new to bring to the UK. It's still in super condition and it's yours for £65 inc. postage (please excuse the mess in the photos, we're still unpacking!)
