    This would make a lovely sister to my 5 string V5 in sunburst! Great basses. It made my fenders redundant.

    Never got round to putting this on eBay ... Got somewhat distracted by the arrival of my first child! Still for sale. May be interested in guitar related trades or a small combo practice amp for bass/guitar.
  3. Davebassics
    Amp sold, only cab remaining.

    Price drop before eBay £200

    Needs to go! I may have broke the one in one out rule! 😬 Sale only now.

    I have the 5 string version and it's a fender killer. Leaps and bounds ahead of anything Mexican and could certainly hold its own against an American fender in terms of fit and finish. The rolled fingerboard edges are a dream!

    I am rather motivated to get this shifted. Offers? Will be travelling to the south coast in a few weeks.

    Heading up to Newcastle this weekend if any Geordies would like to take delivery!

    Haha when I was a kid north of the Tyne, we did a gig in the deep south .... Jarrow. Me dad who was driving us did the exact same thing. Picked up a complete stranger, dropped him off at his destination and then took directions from him to the venue. Its definitely a thing up there!

    Where do you get them from? Looks great. I've got a 5 string sire v5 that I'd like to put one on but not sure what the situation is with the wider 70s string spacing

    Ahreet? Proudly born and raised in Newcastle. Lived just off stanhope street, 5 minutes walk to St James. Used to hear the crowds raw on a Saturday afternoon. Magic. Moved to the coast when I was 4 or 5 and moved to Yorkshire for Uni and never quite managed to leave. I'm currently saving to move back up but let me tell you, in certain areas, the North/South device isn't as wide as I would like it to be! On the coast where we are looking, I'd say its roughly £100k cheaper than an equivalent on the South Coast (where my other half lives and where my main office for work is). It's difficult to say definitively. It is cheaper, but not as much as I would like! Do we have a Geordie corner here on basschat? Would be canny to make some friends prior to me move up there!

    Haha yeah, poor me. Guess I'll just have to build another bass then! I wonder if that old squier neck is still in the loft ...
  15. Davebassics
    Do you have the original bridge and scratch plate? Can you post photos of the jack, was this moved to the side when the preamp was installed?
  16. Davebassics
    Offers? The longer I keep this the more likely to start building again, save me from myself!

    Had a few trade enquiries which I'm not really looking for. However, catch me at the right moment and I might be interested in: Little mark tube or similar Aguilar tonehammer 350 or 500 Aguilar DB112 Cash adjustment as necessary

    Most I've spent on a new bass was £350 about 15 years ago. Been second hand purchases only since then. Honestly, what I'd spend on a new bass now? Probably £0. Its just not important to me any more. After many years of lusting over £1/2/3k+ basses I'm in a really happy place with GAS atm :D. I've owned a few expensive instruments, but just haven't enjoyed them. I'm a squier/sire household for the foreseeable future! I would love a stingray though .... 😂

    I've got a fiesta red CV P bass from 09. Its a fender killer. I love it so much, I retired it from gigging duties. Its now strictly for home use, it's the bass that I'll keep forever! Over the past ten years, I've had MIM, MIJ, MIA fenders, SBMM stingray, USA stingray and a Warwick thumb. They've all came and gone, none of them fit me like a glove like the CV which I understand is a highly personal thing. For me, there is something very safe about cheaper basses. A lot less anxiety about having money tied up in an instrument that can devalue or get damaged or whatever. I just feel more free to enjoy playing music on it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way?

    There is a channel between both pickup routes to the control route. There is no route to the bridge. Quality is decent as you would expect from a machine made body. Smooth finish, tidy routes. I haven't tested any aftermarket necks on this yet. I'm having second thoughts about this sale, sort of fancy getting a fretless neck and picking up the initial plan!

    Offers? I'm driving down to Eastbourne for Christmas so can potentially drop off if it's not too much of a detour.
  22. Davebassics
    Head sold, PF-112HLF still available.

    Driving between West Yorkshire and Oxford over the weekend. Happy to deliver if it's not too much of a detour 👍🏻
