Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. This one is a cracker and was bought as my "forever" bass-sigh!. Although a short scale it it is a bit of a bulldog, by that I mean that it is solid and the chunky. It is also versatile bass with loads of punch and this one has the "premium" flame top. Lots of top players love these and as a result they are pretty rare beasts. I managed to find a Supro soft case that fits it, which is included. The pictures are from when I bought it from Bass Direct but it is exactly the same as it has only rarely been played and has never left my house! Here some blurb! The Supro Huntington I Bass is a superb short-scale bass from this legendary New York guitar and amp manufacturer. With an outstanding level of build quality, this bass will appeal to a wide range of players. It comes equipped with a single vintage Gold Foil pickup, plus a piezo pickup integrated into the High Mass bridge, giving it a huge array of tones. It is also extremely comfortable to play, thanks to its 30” scale and ergonomic neck join. Now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store. Every instrument we sell goes through a rigorous check-over and professional set-up prior to shipment, ensuring you receive the very best possible example. We ship fast to the UK, Europe and beyond. The Supro 2041 Huntington 1 is a newly-designed, short-scale bass combining the classic body shape of the early ‘60s Ozark model with vintage-correct passive electronics and sonic inspiration from the Supro Pocket Bass of the same era. The unique Gold Foil pickup found in the Huntington I bass is an authentic replicas of the original “Clear-Tone” pickups found in the vintage Supro Violin, Taurus and Pocket Bass models. This high-output single coil delivers legendary, deep low-end, with very low noise and a massive, broadband sound that stays warm and balanced across the entire range of the instrument. The Supro Huntington 1 in Natural Mahogany also features a piezo pickup, built into the high mass bridge. This adds an acoustic bass sound via a toggle switch. When the piezo pickup is activated, the tone knob functions as a blender, allowing the player to mix in the acoustic sound to taste. The Huntington’s maple neck has a smooth, black satin finish and 30” short-scale length, with a glued in, set-neck joint that provides ergonomic access to the entire Pau Ferro fretboard. The set neck design, premium woods and high-end hardware along with the unique, vintage correct Supro pickups make the Huntington both a world-class recording bass and gigging workhorse instrument that is incredibly easy to play; especially for musicians accustomed to the shorter neck of a 6-string guitar. Although its scale is short, the sound of the Huntington bass is astoundingly large—boasting a tight, confident, buttery low end, articulate midrange and crisp highs.

Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. A Beautiful bass bought from here in 24, with a great sound, which I am just not using much. It is the real deal with gorgeous looks and construction in my honest opinion. Someone out there will love it. It is also loud enough to practice with without an amp IMHO! Happy to post as it comes with a generic hard case that fits archtop basses "The Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollow Body Short Scale bass guitar has a comfortably short scale at 30.25", and is armed with two powerful "Black Top" Filter'Tron™ bass pickups, giving it an electrifying deep-end voice and identity. The double-cutaway hollow and bound body offers full bass tone and balance, and is finished in Transparent Red." Note: I have been asked about neck dive, just in case you are worried about that this is my answer. "I can't say that it has bothered me,. Being an true hollow body/archtop It is very light and hangs horizontally, but it feels normal to rest my right arm on the body, which pushes the neck upwards to a comfortable, natural playing position. It also feels good sitting down. I imagine that the longer scale Gretsch hollows may have serious neck dive". G5442BDC Spec sheet.pdf

Note: Impending retirement means it's time to de-clutter my life, starting with some of my beloved basses. This is a "classy" instrument and real workhorse. It has been well used in the past, so has numerous small marks (Check photos nothing nasty) and has had the stacking knobs replaced prior to my ownership. Outstanding features are the outstanding playability and sound, as it is very versatile and have loads of punch. Very cool and understated IMHO. Fully functional and plays like a dream! Comes with a functional soft case. Open to offers but not trades. "The SR3005 is a five string Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 1999. It was produced in Japan by FujiGen as part of the upscale Prestige line. The SR3005 features a double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a SR5 wenge an bubinga neck with a 24-fret wenge fingerboard with abalone oval position markers and a matching headstock. Components include a Mono Rail bridge with 16.5mm string spacing, a pair of curved US Bartolini humbucker pickup's channeled through a Vari-Mid 3LC 3-Band, a plastic nut, cosmo black hardware and Gotoh 510 tuning machines."
