    *SOLD*

    A great looking and sounding bass at close to half the price of the same model new. I'm also willing to send this by courier in the UK at additional cost to the buyer (although as I mentioned I would very, very strongly prefer buyer to try out and collect, or a meetup). It hurts to sell this bass so someone end my suffering and buy this beauty!!

    Thanks Quatschmacher. There's a whole lot of Music Man bass knowledge on this forum so I'd better add these other details, which I'd previously forgotten to include: Weight: 9 lbs, 5 oz (4.22 kg) this is not approximate. Serial number: E67480

    *SOLD*

    Hi all, For sale is my excellent 3 band EQ Music Man Stingray HS bass with great sounding MM humbucker but also a single coil jazz pickup and 5 way selector switch. This set up gives the player lots of great versatile tones and also the opportunity to blend the tone of the MM humbucker with the jazz single coil- which sounds beefy! I bought this new in 2008, as it has been well maintained and looked after during that time it is in very good condition. This bass is awesome and a rock-solid performer so I will be sorry to sell it but needs must, as they say. A recent browse through the Ernie Ball Music Man website indicates that the HS Stingrays don't seems to be being made any longer so also a rare instrument. The photos don't do the beautiful ash body justice and everything else about the bass lives up to the level of build quality and performance that you would expect from a Stingray bass. Also included is a Music Man hard case which due to the fact that I have used a gig bag, has never been properly used so is in as-new condition. I am based in Brighton and would very strongly prefer the buyer to try out the bass in person and collect but I could be open to a meet up within the South East within a reasonable distance. Sorry no trades please as I need the money and space in my flat. Christmas will soon be here so treat yourself!! Here's my feedback thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/306417-feedback-for-edlib-3/
  4. Robert DeLeo - one of my all time favourite bass players. Kind of like a 90s alternative rock James Jamerson. Just check out the bass lines to 'Sour Girl' and 'Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart', you'll see what I mean. It's just a shame he seems to have had a rather odd looking Hollywood face-lift of some sort...
  5. Lewis, what an absolute legend this guy is. He agreed to meet me half-way between South Wales and Brighton to buy his Geddy Lee Jazz Bass (really helpful for me), prior to that, setting up the meeting was easy because he was quick to respond to enquiries, great to deal with and willing to be flexible. Great guy to deal with in person too: very knowledgeable about basses in general and good to chat to. Thanks Lewis for a very pleasant transaction!!
  6. [quote name='artisan' timestamp='1503569374' post='3359216'] I love stingrays & have owned three,a 2 band,a 3 band & recently a classic. All where lovely to play & beautifully made but each one had a very week G string that sounded fine solo but got lost in a live mix. Tried the pick-up pole piece mod & even changed to a Nordstrand pick-up,all to no avail. Maybe it's just me,but I never have this problem with anything else. [/quote] I had a Stingray which also suffered from a audibly quieter G, which I read was a known problem with the Stingrays although not a known problem if you happen to bring it up on the Ernie Ball Music Man forum. I sold my single humbucker Stinger and bought the two pickup Stingray HS instead. Not sure if this is still a problem for anyone playing a single humbucker Stingray? That slight issue with the single humbucker and the difference in volume with the G string was the only thing that you could say was a negative aspect with that bass, still a great instrument. The feel, sound and build quality was awesome. My current Stingray HS which I've had for 9 years is an absolute belter!! As the previous one was. The quality of these basses still astounds me; the quality control and build quality in general (as others here have said) is super high. Another notable thing is the neck so rarely falls out of adjustment in comparison to other basses - it's so easy to access and adjust the truss rod if it does too. I know that the price of Stingrays has shot up recently but in this case you certainly get what you pay for
  7. [quote name='JohnDaBass' timestamp='1502175213' post='3349686'] Hi Tom, My preference is the DiMarzio Split P with KiOgon loom and Sprague 192p 0.1uF capacitor. Warm & lush with plenty of power and old school tones. [/quote] I used to own an Aerodyne Jazz Bass which I replaced the stock pickups with a pair of DiMarzio Model P pickups as well as a Model J, and man they sounded lovely!!!! So well balanced, powerful, clear and smooth. No worries with a weak E string either. I used to turn the volume all the way down on the jazz pickup just to get the pure tone of those Model Ps. Never thought I could get so emotional about pickups!
  8. Eerrmm... I'm really not being contrarian for the sake of it but this sounded pretty weak to me. Even Adele's bassist was struggling to muster too much enthusiasm about its practical application for a bass player and he's the dude endorsing it. The only selling point for me would be the smaller scale and size making it easier to get around (not that standard sized acoustic bass guitars are that difficult to get around compared to lugging a DB,) but then when you do get it to a jam with others you have even less volume, projection and clarity of tone than a standard scale acoustic bass guitar and are left with a muddy, slack stringed sound. I just don't get it, not for me.
  9. Sold through Gumtree
  10. I sold my Aerodyne Jazz Bass today to Emanuele - good guy who made the transaction and communications leading up to the sale easy and pleasant. I would have no hesitation about dealing with him again and also recommending him to others. Thanks mate!
  11. Thank you sir! He speaks the truth..
  12. Now sold. That was quick!
  13. Hi, I'm only looking to sell, not looking for trades as I need the money for my wedding. This is an awesome Japanese made Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass (serial number Q092105), fitted with Jim Dunlop strap locks, a new Badass II Bass Bridge (very valuable and now almost impossible to get hold of) and a set of DiMarzio Model P/J pickups. It looks and sounds great, the bass is light and plays like a dream. The addition of the upgrades in the form of the DiMarzio pickups and the Badass bridge make it sound fantastic. This bass has been well looked after, and is In very good condition with just a small dent on the back of the bass (please see pics). Weighs 3.9 kg and comes with gig bag. Collection from Brighton strongly preferred but can send by courier within the UK only at additional cost to the buyer.

  14. Price drop to £475 bump. Come on now, don't be shy...
  15. Apologies for gatecrashing this topic with a shameless plug but.... I'm selling my Bassix Hi-Tech RC bass here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/304311-bassix-eub-for-sale-no-trades-price-drop-to-l500/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/304311-bassix-eub-for-sale-no-trades-price-drop-to-l500/[/url] Has a 42" scale but can also be dismantled down to slightly longer than the size of a bass guitar. Sounds really good, is easy to get around so may be worth taking a look.
  16. Thanks very much! Alan Hatswell is also a great guy, and very helpful guy to speak to on the phone when it comes to providing additional info on his instruments.
  17. Just to add some additional information on the Bassix: The bass weighs 6.7kg. When dismantled the bass measures about 49.5 inches in length from top of the headstock to the bottom of the bridge. The best sounding EUB you'll find for £500.
  18. Price drop to £500!
  19. I've edited the listing and the photos have now been sorted out so they're no longer displaying sideways. Bumping for a quick sale and the bass is also listed elsewhere so may not be around too long. Lovely instrument at a good price!
  20. This happens to me almost every time I look at BassChat for over 15 minutes. Just like everyone else it just kicks in when I'm on BC. I'm running Windows 10 Home on the PC with Firefox as the browser (with or without an ad blocker it stills happens). I use my Norton Antivirus / SpyWare scan immediately afterwards and as others have pointed out, it doesn't pick anything up. I'm also making sure to delete the temporary files as part of this process. Most strange and it's also getting somewhat aggravating.
  21. Hi all, I'm selling my Bassix Hi-Tech RC EUB dating from 2002-2004, I need to raise some money for my wedding so please no trade offers. This bass is hand made and hand finished by Alan Hatswell at Bassix. He has been retired for a while so it's probably quite a rare instrument too. More information can be found about Alan Hatswell's Bassix instruments on his Facebook page: [url="https://en-gb.facebook.com/bassixbasses/"]https://en-gb.facebo...m/bassixbasses/[/url] I bought this second hand two years ago and have had a crack in the fibreglass side moulding professionally repaired. The original end pin was slightly bent when I bought the bass so I replaced it, and can also include the original as I still have it. This bass has been well looked after with a few dents and knocks but nothing serious. The bass has a 42 inch scale and is strung with a new set of D'Addario Helicore Hybrids. It has a much more natural double bass-like tone than any other EUB you'll find for the same asking price sounding good played pizzicato and bowed. The bass can be quickly and easily dismantled and reassembled and packs down to just slightly longer than the size of a bass guitar. [url="https://ibb.co/i4jPO5"][/url] [url="https://ibb.co/hxSYGQ"][/url] [url="https://ibb.co/n8efwQ"][/url] [url="https://ibb.co/ivLnbQ"][/url] Comes with a thin soft case and the stand pictured in the photos. There is a slight issue with the onboard EQ that if you slide the bass on the instrument up to full you get some distortion on the D string when playing hard but I've also just got round this by keeping the bass EQ lower on the instrument and boosting the volume and bass on my amp. Due to the somewhat fragile nature of the instrument's side moulding and the fact that the soft case for this ain't all that great, I would prefer not to have to courier this so collection from Brighton, East Sussex for this. Come and try it out and grab yourself a bargain.
  22. Having played acoustic bass guitars with 32" and 34" scales I'd say always go with a 34"; they sound better and project a better bass sound overall. Bearing in mind you don't want to make an already limited instrument (in terms of acoustic volume and tone), any less loud or full sounding. A great acoustic bass with a 34" scale is the [url="http://stanford-guitars.com/guitars/lo-freak/stanford-robot-4-fretless/"]Stanford Robot acoustic bass[/url]. They're not crazily expensive and are very well made with a distinctive design, I picked one of these up second-hand and it's a beauty! Looks and sounds really good and feels good to play. The unusual positioning of the sound hole also seems to make it sound louder (to the person playing it if no one else), when playing with another acoustic guitar.
  23. I'd like to add a recommendation for Nick Benjamin based in Lewes, East Sussex [email protected] Very helpful guy, was willing to take a look at my EUB when I was struggling to find someone locally who could sort out the problem even though it appeared to electrical. Nick quickly diagnosed and solved the issue. Worth keeping in mind if you live in the Sussex area..
