Bump, this is a great bass for not a lot of money.

Loads of interest but no sale yet bump

Afraid not Chris. Just bought a another double bass today so need some funds towards it. Those old Ibanezs are great instruments though. Cheers

Just bought a new bass and I don't have room for 3!

It's the same bass! I bought it off Artisan last summer and it's been my go to bass for west end work ever since. Really don't want to let it go but unfortunately uprights aren't cheap. Oh and the knobs are still the original Fender style ones, the lighting in the photo makes them look like Sadowskys. Cheers

Surprised this hasn't gone yet. They're outstanding amps, very warm and detailed. Sound especially good with Epifani UL cabs, well to my ears anyway Great price too.

Great bass but unfortunately I need some funds for a new double bass. Standard vintage jazz bass specs - alder body, maple neck, rosewood board, passive single coils with vol/vol/tone controls. The body is finished in sonic blue nitro but this has faded to a kind of light seafoam green over time. Looks great. Think it's from the mid 90's and has picked up a few dings on the way but nothing that affects the playability. Sound-wise it's quite resonant and very even across the board. Typical vintage jazz bass sounds. Currently strung with a new set of La Bella flats (not the black nylons pictured). Old hardcase is included. £500 colllected from London, no offers or trades NOW WITHDRAWN, can't let this one go I'm afraid

True, though it would need a new nut, bridge and tailpiece for the conversion. It's designed as a proper fiver though so the neck might feel a bit chunky with only 4 strings on it. The tuner should be an easy fix though, just needs a new paddle stuck in the slot on the end of the peg. I've been using it since last summer this way with no problems though.

It's a great instrument that I've been playing a lot for theatre pit gigs, however I've since bought another instrument that's more similar in size and response to my 'main' bass. Anyway, the label reads "Copy of Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1721, made in Germany". No date stamp but it looks like it's maybe 40/50 years old. It's a pretty standard 3/4 size viol shape. The body is laminate along with a nice thick ebony fingerboard and tailpiece. Also has ebony strips lining the neck heel, something usually only seen on older expensive basses. Structure wise, it's quite solid. There's been repairs to the scroll and headstock that were carrried out by the respected London luthier Roger Dawson some time ago and have been stable ever since. The A string tuner paddle is missing. Tunes fine though, the mechanism is still perfect it just needs a new paddle stuck in the slot on the end of the peg. Soundwise, it's very even string to string and bows very well. Tuning is stable. The fingerboard and bridge have a nice deep radius so arco is easy for a five string. The pizz sound is full with good sustain and projects well. String length is a comfortable 105cm. Comes strung with a set of a full set of Thomastik Spirocore mittels strung G to low B. A high C string is also included but not fitted. Hardcase shown is not included. NOW SOLD

I'm good Len, just need some more gigs at the mo. Hope you're well. oh and BTW I actually sold the Stingray to get some cash for the 72 p!

Ha there's 2 of my old basses as avatars in this thread! How's the 72 going Clarky?

Oh crap! Must resist. This used to be my main workhorse and it's an absolute beast of a bass, alway's regretted selling it. Good luck with the sale Len, I'm half tempted myself
