I effing well love this.

Man, I LOVE this bass. EXACTLY the kinda p-bass sound I’m looking for. I wonder why this has that sound, yet the Highway One I used to have (with.a DiMarzio pickup) sounded nothing like it. Hmmmm....checking back of sofa for £500

Is the pedaltrain and case still for sale?

Lovely bass, this one. Having played it, I can definitely confirm everything written above. The B-string is every bit as good as my old '88 Thumb 6...only this is a super comfortable, well-balanced bass that DOESN'T weigh 14lb! Fantastic build quality, a really superb instrument at an outrageously generous price...and the seller is a great bloke, so deal with 100% confidence! GLWTS!

Hi Got your PM re Qtron but since site upgrade it has disappeared and I can’t send you one because (despite my inbox being empty), the site thinks I need to delete some messages before I can send some. Peachy! Anyway, I’m definitely interested. Just need to know about condition etc. Cheers! John

Oh wow - I had one of these until 2014 when I sold it (regrettably) and I’ve missed it ever since. Out of the question right now though - shame, cos these basses come up very rarely. Gonna check out your recordings now. GLWTS

Dear god! Part-exchange for a mildly abused liver? What an amazing-looking bass. I had a '79 Sabre for years and I miss it dearly. Someone's gonna bag themselves a beauty here!

Traded!

Open to offers, within reason

Bump!

It'll be going on my flight case just as soon as I work out how to stick things to a Hiscox without them peeling straight off again! They could make saucepans out of those things and NOTHING would stick to them!

Sticker successfully removed! New photos!! [attachment=230520:FullSizeRender-4.jpg] [attachment=230522:FullSizeRender-1.jpg] [attachment=230521:FullSizeRender-5.jpg] By popular request (thanks to everyone who has PM'd me so far), I have removed the sticker. No paint came off, it's just left a slightly darker circle remains where the sticker once was, but it's barely noticeable (I've tried my best to photograph it). [attachment=230519:IMG_5911.JPG] [attachment=230517:FullSizeRender-2.jpg] [attachment=230523:FullSizeRender.jpg] A tiny of the guitar equivalent of t-cut would probably smooth it out completely. [attachment=230515:IMG_5926.JPG] [attachment=230518:IMG_5916.JPG] [attachment=230516:IMG_5918.JPG] Any more questions, please let me know. Happy to email full-res photos to anybody interested.

Wow - love this. How does it balance?

Greeting fellow funksters. 2008/2009 'Highway One' P-bass Made in U.S.A. Rosewood board Nitrocellulose black finish DiMarzio Model P pickup (stock pickup also included) Badass II Bridge (recently refurbished with new saddles) Setup with fret dress at Charlie Chandler's 07/10/2016 Currently wearing LaBella flats Weighs just under 9lb / 4.1kg [attachment=230279:fullsizeoutput_63a3.jpeg] [attachment=230280:fullsizeoutput_63a4.jpeg] Open to trades and p/x's. I'm particularly keen on any of the following (preferably active and with two pickups), ir order of preference: [list] [*]decent fretless (must be lined) [*]steinberger-esque (cricket bat) bass [*]5 string [/list] [center][u][b]Some background[/b][/u][/center] Bought last year to take on Nigerian tour in place of my beloved '69 Jazz bass. I took one look at it on eBay and had to have it. Tons of mojo...and the sticker already attached was stupidly serendipitous. If you don't know much about these basses, they were built in the Corona factory in California and shipped down Highway 1 to Mexico where they were finished in nitrocellulose. They were designed to age nice and easy, which this one has. Curiously, they also shipped with a Badass II as standard. [attachment=230284:fullsizeoutput_63a8.jpeg] [attachment=230283:fullsizeoutput_63a7.jpeg] [attachment=230287:IMG_5901.JPG] The previous owner replaced the stock pickup and 'greasebucket' circuit with the hotter DiMarzio Model P. The original pickup and circuitry was included when I bought it and will be included when I part with it. [attachment=230281:fullsizeoutput_63a5.jpeg] I've just spent £110 getting this bass setup at Charlie Chandler's in Hampton, London. It required some fretwork where the top fret had popped. This has now been totally fixed and dressed. The Badass saddles were also replaced with new ones as the old ones had seized. Currently strung with Jamerson-gauge La Bella flats (about a year old, full of Lagos mojo). [attachment=230286:fullsizeoutput_63ad.jpeg] [attachment=230282:fullsizeoutput_63a6.jpeg] [attachment=230285:fullsizeoutput_63ac.jpeg] I'm in Dorking but regularly gigging, teaching and rehearsing in London. Happy to arrange visits. I make nice tea and we always have decent biscuits Hit me up with any questions or trade offers! I'll do my best to answer within the day. Cheers

It's 8:30 in the evening. You know what that means, don't you? It's a good time to buy a Stingray 5!!
