    Thanks, that's good to know! As it's my first EUB I wasn't sure exactly how much of a problem it is. Certainly seems to operate at home with the nut as it is but I agree any prospective purchaser would want the nut fixed in the long run. Lovely tone and playability

    For sale only: MK Studio passive EUB £800 £400 collected. Big price drop and a great bargain for a first-time EUB player or as a backup! Overall seems in good playing condition. The seller could not tell me the year but I suspect it's one of MK's earlier builds due to the position of the logo. He claims it is a Studio passive, http://www.contrabbassielettricimk.com/en/studio.html There are some 'intonation' stickers on the side of the fingerboard which can be easily peeled off. Key issue is the nut: I bought the bass secondhand from Reverb, and it arrived with a cardboard shim behind the nut. It seems stable, and I've not had any problems with it - but best to be aware of it upfront! Piezo bridge and tuning board: Neck is pear wood. FIngerboard is ebony and in very good condition: Retractable endpost works fine but is scratched and has some rust: The bag fits the bass, endpost, tripod. But note that the pouch nearest the main bag has come loose and is hence open all the time. The main bag itself (for the bass) zips fine. Reason for sale: having just started electric lessons, I really need to focus on electric bass and not upright! I have enjoyed playing this but have no band where it would fit at the moment. Collection: Tonbridge, Kent, 15 mins J5 M25. I strongly recommend a try out as I'm no EUB expert and want to be sure you're happy with it. Cheers! Kevin

    Bought a fantastic MIJ Jazz from Walshy - excellent communications, very fast delivery, very well packaged, and some extra strings! A credit to Basschat - cheers Paul!

    Hi Corto (Maltese!), What bass do you use? Neck profile or nut width may be a factor. What gauge of strings? Do you notice this more at the first 5 frets? Do you shift your fretting hand or lock it to 'one finger per fret'?

    I'll buy it as long as you guarantee I don't need to grow a ginger beard...unless that's the secret technique I've been missing all these years?!

    Similar for me - a square of soft foam folded in half, tucked right up to the protruding screw ends of the bridge saddles. Tried it tonight on only E and A , lwhich helps kill some unwanted rumble and lets D and G ring out. Works well to my ears with the La Bella light flats!
  8. Kevsy71
    Very! Cheers 😎

    Yes - it's a rocker mute, from the Fender Jaguar. It firmly presses the rubber foam against the bottom of the strings when lifted. You can still find the Fender part and install it to any bass, e.g. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/installing-a-jaguar-mute-on-a-p-bass.1021488/

    Amazing!! I could happily stay there for a month with that setup. Any favourites?

    Love that riff Si! I have La Bella FL's on my Bruce Thomas Profile. Gorgeous through the Noble pre. Sean Hurley recommends wiping new flats with Vaseline to get that broken-in sound...has anyone tried that?

    Lucky you're not tempted by anything P related in green Karl! 😁

    This looks like a bargainous way to sate my Jazz GAS.... any idea if the current crop of CV 60s are held in as high regard as these earlier ones?
  17. Kevsy71
    Pretty underwhelming. And a quick visit to snakechat.co.uk confirms that cobras aren't even blue.

    To honour all the under-the-radar NBDs I've had in the past, the signature on the headstock would be the same rapid squiggle I give UPS/Parcelforce etc. before rushing the box inside to hide it...
