    Basically the Muddy Waters band plus Walter Shaky Horton on Harp, nice! My favourite film, a classic.

    Probably a chemical reaction between the outer sheath and the screen happening over time. Time to cut your losses and splash the cash on a new one by the looks of it. EDIT: Just checked the price of what I use, they’ve really shot up 😵 https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/12022310584839--planet-waves-pw-amsg-20-american-stage-instrument-cable-20ft

    Selling my gorgeous little Mensinger Cazpar 5 string, 30” scale, standard low B tuning. I bought this new from Bass Direct in late January 2021 and it has only had light home use. It was originally passive but I fitted a John East MMSR 3 band, 3 knob eq (electrical technician by trade). This has bass, treble, mid and mid frequency sweep. Pulling on the treble control it gives bright mode. The volume control has a push-pull action which switches between single coil (jazz bass) and parallel humbucker (Musicman) modes. It’s playing and sound beautifully. Weight when new was 3.08Kg (see manufacturer’s spec in photo below) which is 6.8lbs plus the weight of the preamp and battery which isn’t much. On the strap it feels super light and well balanced. Comes with the high quality manufacturer’s gig bag which has a handy front pocket large enough to take full size books. All original case candy is present too. I can’t find any marks on the bass at all except a tiny bit of wear to the black finish on the top side of the b-string bridge saddle which I have tried to show in the photo, apart from that it’s pretty much as new. It cost me £1607 in total, £1450 plus £157 for the preamp, so I think £1000 plus shipping is fair. I’m near Ballymena in County Antrim if anybody would like to see and play or courier to UK and Ireland can be arranged as I have the original shipping box. Any questions just ask, thanks. Not really looking for trades but ask anyway, you never know. P.S. click on photos for high res mode 🙂

    Here’s a couple of photos of my Mensinger Cazpar 30” scale 5 string. I’ve decided to put it in the classifieds as it’s not getting much use and it’s a shame to be just sitting here so these might whet someone’s appetite 🥰

    Thanks Mike, it is a brilliant bass, plays like butter, feels so soft and smooth to the touch. It’s also the lightest and best balanced bass I’ve owned, just under 7lbs. You can wear it for a couple of hours and not feel a thing when you take it off. The preamp transformed it IMO, the passive tone control was poor previously but now sounds great. The East preamp is so quiet and natural sounding with no hiss at all. Actually it’s not getting a lot of use as I’ve went back to 4 strings for now.
