    I have a brand new one week old metalic black Stagg EUB, I have realised my bad back cant take playing upright bass at all, the bass is mint condition and PayPal hasnt even taken the payment yet because of the pay later option. Cheers, Steve.

    Someone on here was interested in the bass who donated to our crowdfunding site, but I cant remember who or find the message, if you are out there and still interested get in touch by PM and we will do you a deal on it. You asked me to contact you when we sold it, sorry I remember it, but cant find the details.

    Do you want to sell the stand on its own?

    Can anyone tell me what the string height should be on a EUB at the 12th frett, I am new to this and think mine needs a decent setup. Thanks in advance for any advice! Cheers

    Massive PRICE DROP! £750 with tatty semi hard case, at this price its a bargain 😛 USA Fender Deluxe 5 String Jazz, Pau Ferro Fingerboard with upgraded fret dots that light up red when turned on, very handy for dark stages, White Blonde in colour. I am thinking its 1997, but when I put the serial number in Fenders serial number checker it came up 1995 to 1999. Good condition for a bass this old, odd mark here and there nothing major with some slight marks around the head-stock where the lacquer has been damaged, not as bad as it looks in the pictures, there is one tiny chip on the back of the headstock near the serial number (see pics), there is some swirling on the lacquer on the back from buckle rash but nothing major at all. The tuning peg on the G string could be changed (doesn't have to be) it has two tiny plastic pegs that fix to the headstock that have been snapped, since I have had it I just tighten the locking nut a little bit extra and it holds its self in place fine and plays fine like this. This is the bass that me and Funkinshui got ripped off with (see Stoke on Trent Fraudster Thread), but we have now been given the all clear to sell it on by the police, the bass sounds fantastic and has had a new quality Jack fitted plus copper shielding and I fitted a brand new set of strings that have had no play at all. Cheers Steve and Funkinshui,

      I am also jealous. Err I mean I think that's awesome, supporting them to me would be a dream. And getting the sig is very cool! And remember according to some on eBay any signature increases the price of any bass at least by a factor of 8 😉 lol!

    The crowdfunding page ended today and I would just like to once again thank each and everyone of you for going beyond the call of duty and making a donation to this fund, I never thought we would raise this much to help against Funkinshui's and my losses after being ripped off by he who shall not be mentioned YET. You have raised a mind blowing grand total of £620 pounds and have restored our faith in humanity, just to mention once again, I was the end of the chain in this fraud and I ended up buying the bass face to face with the fraudster, which was his biggest mistake as the police couldnt link it to him. But seeing as I can id the guy without doubt and we know who he really is he should get whats coming to him. I have requested an update from CID and will let you know whats going on as things progress. I being the end of the chain would of recieved nothing and lost all my money. Thanks to Funkinshui being so genorous and offering to split the loss with me and you guys suggesting we open a crowd funding page, we will loose a lot less than we expected. I cant really put into words how grateful I am for your generosity, Basschat is awesome and the community is like no other I have been part of, I tip my hat to every one of you, thank you all once again
