    I have a '20 black/maple J/J five string which has had to have the frets levelled as a couple were high. I got it from BAX music for a couple of hundred less than the going rate at the time. I did start a returns process with BAX but decided to stick with it and get the work done as nothing else was wrong with the bass at all. Fast forward to now and I've got a hybrid P/J five string due in the early part of this week. I certainly won't be as accommodating if it turns up with issues. Fingers crossed it's one of the later ones.

    Up for sale or trade is my recently aquired 2007 Warwick Thumb NT5 with a highly figured Bubinga Pommelle body with 5pc Ovankol thru neck with Ekanga veneers. Tigerstripe Ebony fretboard, just a nut, MEC single coils + MEC 3 band EQ. Incredible bass which has fulfilled a long held dream of owning an NT5 (albeit for a short time). However I'm a bigger boned guy and with the small body, I have to be realistic and say I'm not going to use this bass playing out with my band. I prefer something that hides my paunch. Would dearly love to be in a financial position to keep it but I can't really justify having it just for noodling around the house. The bass is in really excellent condition. Only issue is that the small truss rod snap on cover is from a Thumb bolt on. Comes with a Ritter gig bag which is well used but offers excellent protection. Weight of the bass is 4.9kg. Would take a Stingray 5 with maple board in part exchange. Will consider other five string basses eg Sandberg, Yamaha BB P35, USA G&L, Status, Lakland 55-02, USA Fender etc Bass is in Market Drayton, north Shropshire near Stoke, Crewe and Telford. Could meet within an hours drive. Bass used to belong to basschatter GBH. Link to previous sale ad for more pics :

    Fancy a hybrid P/J five string with morado fretboard. Green or blue? ....that's the dilemma....first world problems eh? Edit: bought the green, blue now showing available 1-2 weeks Already have the black/maple J/J

    East Coast D1S solid top acoustic guitar. Solid spruce too, laminated walnut back and sides, indian laurel fingerboard, black binding with satin finish throughout. Near mint condition with no issues at all. Guitar plays great. Action has been lowered at the bridge saddle. Lovely guitar for very little outlay. Bought for £99 which was a sale price and I thought a steal at the money. Upgrading as I just bought a Fender acoustasonic guitar. Guitar is in Market Drayton which is roughly in the middle of Stoke, Crewe, Telford and Shrewsbury. Could maybe meet Stoke or Telford areas as I work and rehearse with my band there.

    This is at the very least, as good a deal as what the Squier 40th anniversary models are selling for currently. The G&L Legacy bass LB-100 is a great P bass imo. I had the natural with maple neck for a while. I'm constantly amazed at what Tributes sell for as they genuinely punch way above their price point. GLWTS!

    It's lovely but regretfully, no bass tokens left after my latest round of spending🙁

    Spot on. It is indeed a 2007. I like the ebony board and the ovangkol through neck on this one. The profile on the neck reminds me of the Dirty Blonde I had. Bit bigger in the hand but no issues with that. Now need to find a Streamer Stage 1 five string in coloured oil finish with gold hardware to pair it with😍

    Met Paddy777 at Crewe train station and went for a Maccy D's while we talked bass. Paddy p/ex'd his Cort GB75 5 string against my Ray35H. Paddy's a proper stand up guy with a real love for basses and everything bass related. Came through in our convo via PMs but in person, he's even more into bass and he might even be more into bass than me which is just mental 🤣 Fella knows his stuff so deal with absolute confidence. Paddy it was a pleasure meeting with you mate. I hope the Ray serves you well! Keir

    I love these basses and owned a few - Elites, Deluxe and Artists. Clichéd I know but if it was a five string I'd have had it off you by now. GLWTS!

    I like it. It's under 8lbs and the neck is great, really easy to get around. The sustain is brilliant. Love the look of the bass, the colour too and I've never had a problem with the small headstock. It's functional with straight string pull behind the nut and it's about as small as they could realistically go without making it headless which I read they didn't want to do. The pickups sound good to my ears but in hindsight I think I should have gone active. I thought a passive set up would tame the natural brightness of the carbon fibre neck but if anything I am finding I need a little bit more so have taken to using the bass with a Sadowsky preamp pedal which works an absolute treat. My only real gripe is the extra bit of material after the last fret. I guess it's all part of the neck sitting deeper into the pocket but it gets in the way a bit at times. I still haven't checked but I believe the pickup route is a swimming pool job so I will likely get another pickguard made up with the neck pickup route further back towards the bridge. Right now I'm thinking about whether I will keep the 4 once they announce the 5 as that's what I play these days but I'm in no rush. Hope this helps! Keir

    Just met with Tony this evening and traded my Sadowsky 5 string for his Warwick Thumb 5. Great guy to deal with and a really easy, smooth trade. Reminisced about our first trade 15/16 years ago (Spector/G&L) and agreed that a lot of basses have passed through our hands since then. Also agreed to meet again in 15 years time for another trade. Thanks Tony, hope the Sadowsky serves you well m8 🙂 Keir

    I bought a Mayones fretless from Douglas which has been one of the easiest, quickest and most painless deals I've ever conducted on basschat or anywhere else. Firstly the bass is a beautiful thing that plays wonderfully. Couldn't be happier with it. And Douglas went above and beyond throughout the sale. He's an absolute stand up guy and a credit to this forum. Was great chatting with you Douglas. Thanks for a super smooth and easy deal. All the best! Keir

    Hi Where are the side dots? On the fret positions or in between? Thanks Keir

    Metal flake green. Was a factory finish round about 1999/2000 iirc. It was offered at the same time as pearl lavender and metal flake brown. I had pearl lavender StingRay 5 for a number of years (pictured earlier in this thread)

    My new to me '05 Ltd Ed buttercream. Beautiful condition, spent most of its life in its case, still had the cellophane attached to the pickguard. nice weight too.

    Ben bought my MusicMan Classic Sabre during the week. Thoroughly top bloke who knows his Sabre stuff. He even brought along a lush pre EB example of his for me to have a look at. Great chatting with you Ben, I hope the Classic finds its niche in your Sabre harem.. Cheers! Keir

    Met with Stuart and did a bass trade today. Top fella, had a coffee and put the bass world to rights (specifically factory relic jobs and grubby maple fretboards) Not the first time I've bought/sold/traded with Stuart. Always a pleasure mate, hope your new bass serves you well! Keir

    Just bought Dave's SKC Bogart 5 string. Absolutely love it and Dave was a great guy to deal with. Not often I get as stoked with a bass these days but many thanks Dave.! Cheers Keir

    I've gone back to fives again after going back to fours for a bit. Love the feel of the four but can't beat the practicality of a five.

    I actually have someone who does that☺️ a bit sad really that I have more than a bit of a turnaround on my basses at times but hey ho new toys... Anytime Wayne. I'll make sure there's biscuits in the jar
