Don't worry, with luck, you'll get away with only a six month banishment.

Yeah, but obviously you need to have a few to choose from. Have you considered a nice 6 string bass? No, I thought not...

The SR1206 is quite a bass as well - I got one today!

It's great, even comes with its own ambulance and uniform! Thank's for spotting that, the curse of autocorrect. I'll undo it to what I originally wrote!

SOLD Selling my Ibanez SR1006, one of their Prestige models, through neck, quality hardware, etc. I've owned this less than 2 1/2 months, but have just bought another 6 string and two of them are enough for me. The previous owner of this bass replaced the Ibanez pre-amp with a John East Uni Retro, which is a significant improvement, the parametric mid-range in particular is very useful. So useful, in fact, that when this sells, it will fund a couple of East pre amps for my two remaining sixers! I'm selling it because I play long gigs with the Grateful Dead tribute I'm in, and since my motorcycle accident three years ago, I am unable to support the weight comfortably for long. It weighs 10lb 7oz, which isn't too bad. Sounds magnificent sitting down, but we don't really do that sort of gig. I'll be sad to see it go, as it is a great bass to play, and the sound quality is wonderful, but if I can play standing up, then I'm afraid it's of no use to me. I don't have a case for this bass, but it fits into a standard Hiscox case (the one I use for my standard Precision). I live in West Oxfordshire, and the bass can be viewed, played, and collected from me there. I have decent bass amps and cabs so you can try it out properly (within reason, I do have neighbours!). I will be in the Wirral the 15th/16th December, and in South Devon on the weekend of 12th/13th January if you would rather have it delivered. And here I am playing it at the only gig I've played it at:

OK, I'l PM you payment details.

I'll check the lengths in the morning and post then, but late here now.

Hi Brian, typo there, should be 45-100 (ECB 81), I'll correct the original post.

*SOLD* Selling one 4 string set of D'Addario Chromes, 45-100 (ECB81), cut to fit 4 per side heads such as Fender (were on either a Jazz or a Precision). They could be trimmed to fit a two tuners per side bass if required. No visible wear, plenty of life now they are just worn in nicely. Selling as I have found that I prefer the feel and sound of LaBella flats, so these are just sitting on the shelf. Twenty quid plus two quid postage, or collect from West Oxfordshire

Cheers, it's a fine guitar and combo.

Just the Affinity, but the combo's OK, good little starter package for someone (or their children). I'll take £100 for the pair collected, bit of a drag if I have find a box for each of them , I'm afraid.

Terve - I have an English friend living near Imatra who drives a truck between Finland and the rest of northern Europe, including the UK, picking up and delivering mostly household goods. I used the company he works for when I sold my place in Kouvola to move back to the UK a few years ago, and they are not too expensive, I can dig out the details if you are interested.
