Me too - it looks really serious as a standalone. I have the Millennia carry bag for basic protection and wasn’t offered the ears - I’ll make enquiries!

Pinnacle really. More an item of scientific equipment. Accuracy of the eq is unparalleled in my experience. A very good price too IMO (rack ears are a useful bonus)

Criminally underrated basses with a unique tone. A great example here - paint looks pretty fabulous for the age. This is a great price IMO

Perfect spec - absolute stunner. These necks are special

A wonderful bass and indeed, the neck is sublime - US Lakland necks are for me the finest of all to be found on super Js/Ps. As suggested above, this bass will take an incredibly low action. I doubt anybody could be disappointed and this bass was only sold as I'd moved to short-scale almost exclusively

Cheapest Sei I’ve ever seen (by miles)

These are really good fun and far better than some might imagine. A tenner is an absolute steal

Thanks, it is, a lovely hand-crafted brass nut. If all goes to plan, I’ll be delivering this to its new owner today

Last bump if there’s any interest - I’ll be taking this down tomorrow

In response to some enquiries, a few further details re: the Jabba headless: nut width (zero fret): 39mm string spacing (c-c at bridge): 17.5-18mm overall length: 27 and 7/8" (706mm) position markers are small dots on the side of the fretboard The Rockbag is designed to take headless-type Steinberger basses and is a good fit for the Jabba - with a bit of room left at the top of the bag

Love that binding - a spectacularly beautiful bass

Thanks very much! Sorry, I really need to move some gear so can’t take trades - I have far more gear than I can realistically use (or store!)

Thanks very much for this - I know that Owen had some strings custom made (at 23.5" scale) by Newtone - I'm including a set in the sale. I think that the other sets have just been cut down from long scale (given the string retainer arrangement, this seems perfectly possible). Indeed, all the other sets included in the sale seem to have started life as long-scale. I hope this helps

These used short scale flats came from a Wilcock ‘51 so are cut for four in line. I’m not sure of the gauge but they seem reasonably light – possibly 40-100? They’re extremely lightly used and in excellent condition. I was told that they are Status Hotwires but I’m not sure that Status ever made short scale flats? The quality seems to be very good. I just don’t use flatwound strings. Supplied in non-original (Fender) packaging and shipped in the UK for £12.

An extremely lightly used set of Status Hotwire DBE strings. These came off a status fretless. I think that the gauges are 40–100 but can’t be sure. Shipped in the UK for £8.

A used set of fender super 5250 short scale strings with gauges .040– .095. These have had very little use and came off a short scale fretless. They have been cut for a 2+2 headstock but have reasonable length as the bass has a separate bridge and tailpiece. Shipped in the UK for £7

As above, a set of TI jazz rounds – medium/short scale. These have been cut for a 2+2 headstock. They are very little used. I think this is the fourth set of TI rounds that I’ve tried. They really don’t suit me but I just seem to keep buying them. They have a fine wrap so feel lovely under the fingers. However, I think they have a rather dull tone and it’s not something that I’m looking for. In every set I’ve tried, the E seems particularly dull. Fine if you’re looking for very compliant, vintage sounding strings. I can ship these in their original packing for £14 in the UK

As above, a brand-new TI JF 32 inch scale .106 single string. £12 including shipping in the UK. Any questions, please just ask.

Brand-new and in original parking, a set of TI jazz flats – these are the JF 324 medium and short scale version. The cheapest I can find online (including shipping) is £52. Hopefully £37 including shipping in the UK sounds reasonable. Any questions please just ask
