**sale pending** This is a lovely bass but I'm just happier on a jazz. It's in great condition overall but there's a couple of small dings on the headstock, some very mild buckle rash and a crack in the lacquer on the lower edge which I've tried to show in the photos. Currently strung with some slightly aging neon DRs as they were all I had, also comes with a hiscox hard case. Collection from Sheffield preferred or I can meet you in the middle, or can courier if you're happy. I'd potentially be interested in a 1x12 or 2x10 cab as part trade, otherwise looking for a sale.

Just in case anyone needs to source a Sire neck
timo replied to rainbowreality's topic in Repairs and Technical
My neck turned up this afternoon, a whole 100 days earlier than quoted. Very happy. Thanks for the tip @rainbowreality, it's something I've been meaning to try and sort for ages. -

@handman got one ordered a few days after that last message, £25 + p&p for a 5 string gen1 maple board neck. 4 month lead time for mine though... -

I emailed yesterday and they created a parts ticket for me, they did want my customer number and bass serial number though. I'm just hoping gen2 V7 necks fit my gen1. -

Black Stentor Harlequin upright with case and bow, although as it was purchased used it may not be the bow that originally came with it. The bass is in Halifax but you can also try/collect in Sheffield. Blurb from the Stentor website: Features: Laminated spruce front Back and sides laminated maple Brass machine heads Adjustable bridge This is a robust economic double bass designed for rock 'n roll and slap playing styles. The front is made from laminated spruce, back and sides from robust laminated maple. It is fitted with quality brass quarter plate machines and a black hardwood fingerboard.

I picked this up on here last year to give a shorter scale length a try, I've had a lovely time using it on a handful of gigs but I've got something else incoming so I need to make some room. These are really well reviewed; it plays and sounds great, nice and light, surprisingly good B string, super easy to cart around on a train and looks nice to boot. Fits in a Fender short scale gig bag which I'll include, collection preferred but I've still got the box it came to me in so can post if necessary.

Bassix double bass banjo made by Alan Hatswell, purchased from Alan (I believe it was the demo instrument) some years ago and only seen light use since. It has a 3/4 size composite neck and a long removable spike so very adjustable height-wise, can be played acoustically or has a built in pickup. It's in really good condition overall with a few small scuffs, more photos to follow. From the original blurb: Play it like a double bass and acoustically it has considerably higher volume. Not enough for large gigs? Plug in a standard jack lead and connect to bass amp. The onboard dynamic sensors do the rest. It is now like playing an upright electric bass but still has the depth created by the acoustic drum. Constructed from composites with Remo skin, it is not really affected by climatic conditions (temperature and humidity) and is a go-anywhere play-anywhere bass. Suitable for all styles except arco (using bow) the sound both acoustically and amplified is amazing. Finished in white (drum) with black adjustable neck. For airline travel the neck can be simply removed making it possible to carry in a large suitcase (approx 30 x 24 x 10 inches). Maple bridge and Innovation strings give a tone similar to that of a vintage bass both acoustically and amplified.
