[quote name='lozbass' post='581033' date='Aug 26 2009, 09:52 AM']I keep coming back to this - the construction looks superb and the back of the neck is really lovely. It's lucky for me that this is a 35"[/quote] Cheers for that. Graphite re-enforced with Purple Heart stripes, very tasty, and a dream to play. I bought the bass to use live, but as I'm not going to play live much longer, I've decided to recoup some of the cash invested in it, otherwise I'd be keeping it, and I still might to be honest.

Trade options: Stingray 4 or 5, Marcus Miller Jazz, Black/maple US Precision, plus cash depending on the bass.

Thanks for that, to be honest, the ding is so insignificant that I'm not sure my camera will pick it up, I'll have a look. I've enjoyed playing for fun at home much more than gigs in recent years. Empty pubs, weddings ([i]groan[/i]), and now in my mid 40s I've had enough of it. I'm just going to do it for myself from now on .

Nah, I'm done Peter. I have another non bass project that I need the money for.

Possible new band, possible new direction, so I'd like a different bass. Bought from Eubassix only a handful of weeks ago, I fell in love with it. It's easliy the best quality bass I've ever owned, and here's what David had to say about it in his blurb: "Kinal MK-5: Mike Kinal (Canada) five string with a beautiful quilt maple top in an amber stain. Matching head stock (quilt/amber) with a very nice birds-eye maple cap to the rear. Alder body core. Ebony fingerboard on maple + five-piece neck with graphite reinforcement. 2 Aero jazz pickups with Bartolini preamp, 3EQ and 3-way midrange selector switch. Scale length is 35", 1&11/16" nut. String spacing is 9mm at the nut and 17mm at the bridge. Weight is 8 & 3/4 lbs. Great condition - the only significant 'ding' (no effect on playing) is a small (.5cm) to the side (only) of the ebony board, between frets 1 and 2 (below the G-string). This is one of the best constructed, 'all-purpose' basses I've ever played. Slaps well, is punchy for rock and can also produce more mellow tones" The Aeros are mounted in Ebony, and even the jack cover is wooden, it looks like rosewood to me. Super stunning, super high quality from an outstanding Canadian Luthier who is gaining a big reputation. I'm looking for around £1000 or tradewise a Stingray or a Modulus Flea?

Lovely bass, great price.

Wow.....that's beautiful....... !!

Ditto, what I can hear sounds wicked, but the bass is very low in the mix.

ARSE!! I needed one of these.
