    I think if the donor bass was a rarer or more unusual-looking bass, then yeah, it's a cool project. But this is gonna cost about a hundred notes or more by the look of it. For that money, I think you could get a more interesting starting point for a headful->headless project.

    Those neck pocket screws 🤨 Jens Ritter eat your heart out

    Just a little bump, if you don't mind.

    Although the price is deranged, I love this as an art piece. It's like somebody used a drawing of a guitar in The Beano as a blueprint.

    That's a handsome guitar. Gonna nip over to YouTube for some audio samples, unless you have some you'd like to add..

    odds and sods acquired over years of building, repairing, modifying etc. All but the last one have spent time in use and are scratched to varying degrees. Hopefully the photos give an honest representation. Good gear, though. All working well. Useful if you're looking for cheap stuff for a little project. Prices include postage. 1. SOLD 4 string bridge. No screws. Provenance unknown. Can provide measurements if required. £7 - SOLD 2. SOLD Black 4 string bridge. With screws. £7 SOLD 3. Gotoh tuners. 4 in a line. From an 80s Matsumoku P-bass. I know they're Gotoh because I still have the Gotoh 206 bridge from the same bass and they used to have thin covers over the gear with the Gotoh logo. £15 4. SOLDGeneric black 2+2 tuners. Fairly heavily scratched. £7 SOLD 5. SOLD Telecaster guitar🤫 body hardware from a Thomann t-style kit. Unused. I bought the kit but did it "relic" style so I used genuinely older parts I already had. £10 SOLD

    I should've started this a while ago. I've bought a couple of things on here, but I've just started trying to sell (some EMG 5 string pickups here 😉) so, better late than never.

    Good price. Good communication. Prompt postage. Top marks all round. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Oh, come on, this is FAR too nice a bass to live in a gigbag. Somebody buy it!

    I played one in my local music shop a couple of times. It feels and sounds amazing, and surprisingly affordable. I just can't honestly justify the expense or the space it would take up in my wee house. If I had a bigger house, I wouldn't be able to hold back. Enjoy!

    Yeah, I make and repair guitars for fun so this is definitely tempting for me, at this price.
  13. alittlebitrobot
    Still no bids. Possibly one to keep an eye on..
  14. alittlebitrobot
    Oh yeah. That definitely looks like a fun project, although I wouldn't be ready to pay much more than the starting bid, tbh.

    Say what you want about Jens, but the guy has range.

    Next time I pass a music shop with a Stingray in it, I'm popping on my monocle and asking for a plugged-in go on it.💪

    2 basses I've tried unplugged that felt amazing (but didn't get a chance to plug in) were a Fodera (don't know the model) and a Peavey Cirrus. Peavey basses are so underrated. On the guitar shop thing, I always feel weird asking the staff if I can play a guitar I have absolutely zero hope of buying. But I know that's silly behaviour, really. It's not as if every other person in there has a pile of cash burning a hole in their wallet.

    omg, I have a million. Truncated list: For straightforward interest in tone and feel: Rob Allen mouse Stradi symphony fretless Reverend Dub King or Rumblefish (not sure why) MM Stingray (I know these are everywhere but, like @MichaelDean, I don't spend much time in guitar shops trying everything I like the look of) Something properly vintage - like a 60s/70s Fender Jazz - just to see And out of curiosity for the absurdity of it: That Ibanez Ashula thing A Basslabs something or other

    wow wow wow. Beautiful shape, stunning colour. Personally, I wouldn't let a scratchplate within a mile of this bass.

    I bought this set a couple of years ago for a bass I was going to build but then changed the design. I have opened the box to check the contents but never actually took them out, so the kit is brand new. More details on the Thomann page: https://www.thomann.de/ie/emg_j5_set.htm Buyer beware: I'm in Ireland, so if somebody in the UK buys these, we can expect some customs shenanigans. These are also listed on an Irish classifieds site, but I wanted to give BC a shot too since I've bought a couple of things here in the past.

    Wow, I too am planning a fretless, 5 string, short scale, somewhat headless, strung with tapewounds build. I want to go E-C so I bought a 4 string set of d'addario short scale tapes and then found a site selling individual strings so I was able to buy a high C. The fun of making guitars is that you can make things that you can't find for sale anywhere else, but it does mean that sourcing parts at the beginning can be an absolute nuisance 😁 Good luck with the build! Watching with interest.
  24. alittlebitrobot
    wow, congrats! and thanks for making this post. These basses have fascinated me for a long time and, like Ritters, I just find it hard to believe that they really exist.

    I was away from this site for a year or so and, beyond a self-build I'm planning, I was happy with my gear. But now the GAS is back with a vengeance.
