  1. Fantastic basses, these. Quality hardware, including a metal nut and pu’s that deliver excellent p, pj and j tones at the flick of a switch. Can’t go wrong at that price.
  2. Tascam Cd bass trainer with psu. Full working order. No box but will pack well. Price includes U.K. postage. Thanks for looking. David
  3. Full working order and in good condition. Includes the Zoom 28 meg Sandisk. No box or DC power plug but also runs on batteries. Will be well packed. Don’t ask me anything about functionality as I wouldn’t have a clue. I have never used this. Price includes U.K. postage. Thanks for looking. David Now £20 ono
  4. Yes and it’s a lined fretboard, I guess I should have made that clear. If you zoom into the photos you can see.
  5. All original. I forgot to add that the neck profile is super flat and different to the fretted version. I have one of those as well. And the action can be as low as you want. This bass must have spent much of its life in its case as there is no tarnish on the hardware.
  6. SOLD BIG PRICE REDUCTION £500 collection Now willing to post this and will include Uk mainland shipping cost in price. I can courier on Monday and you could have it on Tuesday 19 July. I may change my mind and keep this so if anyone is interested please do get in touch over weekend. This is no longer on hold as the intended purchaser didn’t show and hasn’t been in contact. If you read this, I hope you are ok! Price reduced to £600 as I have my eye on something and have negotiated a one in = one out with she who must be obeyed😆 Yamaha TRB 5 string fretless. Series one (with cutaway). Made in Japan. Serial number 4N1 3074 which I think means it is dated 13 May 1989. Can’t guarantee that though. A few minuscule nicks and a slightly larger dint on the lower horn (see picture). Some scratching to the fretboard due to a previous owner using rounds, but for a 29 year old bass, this is in great condition. 34 ins scale, 19mm spacing, 45mm at nut, 80mm at 24th fret. Weight around 8lbs. Ash body, maple neck, rosewood board, 2 band active, adjustable mid boost and total output. Strung with new TI flats. Comes with the original Yamaha hard case also in great condition. You won’t see many of these early models up for sale and the value is increasing and will likely continue to..because they are awesome. I am only selling because this bass deserves to be played by someone much more proficient than me, and because I have amassed more basses than I have room for now and am under strict orders to cull😢. That said, I am in no hurry, so I don’t intend to lower the price and I doubt this will be bumped a lot. No experience of trading, so it would have to be someone reasonably near, and actually, I am only after a decent fretted 5 string, JV jazz, or a good combo in mint condition. So much prefer a sale. Same goes for collection although posting isn’t completely out of the question, but cost is not included in the price. Thanks for looking. David
  7. Pierre, do you know if Adrian’s team hold spare neck replacement stock. I need one for an Elwood custom 5 string that has a busted rod. Thanks! David 44 791 868 2028.
  8. Thanks Wilko!
  9. Gently. Don’t force it as I did😢 btw, Adrian hasnt responded to me yet. I sent him a couple of emails but only have the general email address. Does anyone know the best number for him? Ta.
  10. Would agree. Check out Johnny Long’s run through. I was very keen on this but too far from me and shipping was complicated due to no hard case. I am sure this will be so much fun to play.
  11. Thanks both. Appreciated. I always thought you tightened truss rods clockwise but I guess not. I wonder if I was just unlucky ( as well as being a numpty) with the neck. They are quite a soft wood so must be prone to more movement? Has anyone else had problems with low action consistent across the fretboard with Elwoods? Such a shame because as everyone says, the sound, feel, look and quality for the price is great. I have emailed Adrian. Let’s see if he has the Christmas spirit. .
  12. So here is a tragic story. Acquired a lovely Elwood from this site about a year ago. Action has never been right. Mid to upper positions appreciably higher than first position. I hate that. Neck isn’t straight. Truss rod tightens anti clockwise and was already maxed out when I bought it. Bridge saddles can’t go any lower. So being the idiot that I am, I took the neck off yesterday, loosened the truss rod then re tightened and, bang, the nut came off with an inch of rod with it. ? I will contact Adrian tomorrow, I guess my options are limited to ordering a replacement neck unless miraculously someone can fit a new nut as the break is so close to the nut..unless it’s a welded unit. if anyone has any experience of a situation like this, knows a great fixer in the London area, knows what the nut size is, or has bought a replacement neck from Adrian, I would be eternally grateful for any advice you can provide. These basses have a lovely sound and nice feel so I do want to sort unless economically stupid. Thanks, David
  13. I have one, the neck is fantastic on mine. As Bassassasin said, if the money is right, go for it. I paid 400 which imo was slightly above market but these don’t come up that often unless you import from one of those Vintage Japanese websites. This specimen should cost you less.
  14. If I didn’t already have the same bass without the mods, I would be snapping this up. Bargain. Out of interest, what year?
  15. Seen this in the flesh. Amazing bass. Plays beautifully. Christian is a gentleman - only issue is he has brilliant basses and he lives around the corner - can't be good for my wallet. Haha. GLWTS. David
  16. And then I woke up. Haha. Bass like that was never going to hang around. Oh well, maybe next Christmas.
  17. Wow indeed. Want it. Need it. May even sell my keeper Wal pro to afford it.
  18. Just to say I have one of Mark's 6 string basses, and the neck and electronics are indeed amazing. Mine was unfortunately fatally wounded in transit but I patched it up and enjoy it in the privacy of my home. Good luck.
  19. Hi, being more precise the scale is 32.5ins and the string spacing is probably more like 18mm. This was custom made for Rick Kennell (Happy the Man). It can be heard on their album, Crafty Hands, I think. Thanks. David
  20. For sale or trade, a 1999 Rick Turner Renaissance 4 string fretted. Serial no: 1062. Thin line/chambered body 18v Timberline system Hipshot D tuner 32 inch scale String spacing 17mm at bridge Weight 4.5lb! Comes with top notch Ameritage hard case (retail price 447 USD) Condition excellent. A few small scratches and indents on back and sides some of which will steam out. No fret wear. Needs new strings but I will add a set of used TI Acousticores. I am the second owner. I bought this in 2003 when I was in New York. Quite rare over here. A new one would set you back c. 3000 dollars. The Bass Gallery just sold a 5 string fretless version. It was listed at £1500. So imho, this is another David1711 bargain. This is high quality and the sound is amazing. Deserves to be recorded with. I am only contemplating parting with it because there is a bass on here that I want and I already own too many. If that goes I will likely withdraw so if anyone is interested you need to move fast. Located near St Albans. Thanks for looking and as before, sorry for the rubbish pictures. David
  21. Hi I pm'd you yesterday.
  22. Superb. Just acquired a JB5 v2 which is quality, so I can only imagine how good this luxury range bass must be. Good luck.
