    Nice! (I'll censor my usual reasons for not being able to buy it, because you've heard them before... )

    I've owned a Prosebass fretless before. It was gorgeous, and I nearly kept it, even though I wasn't all that keen on the short scale If this was full-scale, I'd be in deep trouble.

    In Leeds, "collection only" but they will courier for £15, currently no bids at £100. Finishes tomorrow (Monday).

    Pink Westfield P-bass with an extra P pickup. Reluctantly I'm selling my P-P Westfield. Passive, four-string, pink (I like pink basses). It has had a Wilkinson P-pickup added close to the bridge. Controls are VVT. I like it, I'd be keeping it if I didn't have something nicer in the P-P line. There is some discoloration on the pink body, which I've tried to show. The added scratchplate for the second pup is 40-thou styrene sheet, I think, and is definitely hand-made on close inspection. From 10 feet away, it looks fine. Pics are here: [url="https://postimg.org/gallery/2jvtht76c/"]https://postimg.org/gallery/2jvtht76c/[/url] £120 plus carriage.

    P-style body, routed P-J. This is a body from a Sonderberg P-J bass, good for a project. It's wood, not ply. The neck had 22 frets. The neck pocket is a touch under 63mm wide. The paint is a pale gold metallic. It has one small chip, shown. The paint and finish has minor flaws which are hard to photograph. It has never had a scratchplate. The horns are somewhat more pointed than the rather lumpy Fender P body, which personally I think is prettier.

    I love the smoky grain on the back

    Attic space is too valuable, obviously...

    So far, you're right... I don't like it at all. Partly because the ergonomics look strange - you couldn't rest your right forearm on it, so I reckon it would be tricky for a pick player. Fixed-thumb finger style would probably be OK.

    I have never been that keen on gigging. I don't enjoy performing, and I'm not good at it. I'm particularly not keen on playing stuff I hate just because it's popular. (TBH I probably wouldn't mind the playing; it's having to listen to it in order to learn it that I hate.) Currently the band I'm in plays at most seven or eight gigs a year, mostly to pension-age audiences; our youngest member is 42, and he's never played live. We don't get paid any significant amount. I do it to play music, not to perform, and by and large the people I'm interested in pleasing are my bandmates and myself.

    I don't like the look of that crack in the back of the neck. Is that just the lacquer, I hope?

    Signed.

    Here, I always leave feedback (unless I forget - which I don't think I do, but how would I know?). On eBay, not so much - it's too obviously a business tool and too fiddly and prescriptive. I leave feedback because I dealt [u]with a person[/u].

    They do look good. I had one and got rid of it, partly because I didn't get on with the neck (too bulky). I'd intended to sort out a way of combining the two outputs (mag and piezo), but I never found the time.
