Cosme Moji HSC 6 (Headless Single Cut) delivered to its first owner (I'm the second one) in December 2010!!! A really rare instrument on the second hand market as Patrick Cosme, an excellent French luthier, completely stopped his activities 2 years ago. This is a top notch instrument built with high quality components and an extraordinary attention to details (see the photos). It's in excellent condition with a few light dings that I've tried to photograph (see below). This bass had a real price tag of €3870 EUR 14 years ago, so between €5500 and €6000 EUR nowadays, not on the cheap side at all. I changed the original East U-Retro Deluxe 5 preamp for a better suited for this bass Delano Sonar 3 bands with active/passive switch on the volume and a clever treble pot, which becomes a passive tone when in this mode ; I also put some wooden knobs with real tiger eye stone on their top. The neck pickup is exactly at the Stingray sweet spot and has the same specs as a Music Man pickup that would have been designed for a 6 strings bass, hence the choice of this Delano Sonar preamp, which works perfectly with this type of pickup. The strings fitted now are the amazing Dogal Hellborg Perfect Pitch Flat Wound JH1726S (226 EUR for the set!!!). Here is the link to the Cosme Facebook page where you can see my bass: https://www.facebook.com/349103448601647/photos/a.352236078288384/352236144955044/?type=3&app=fbl TRADES WELCOME ON A €3000 EUR BASIS! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding DOM -TOM), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €3000 EUR (£2500 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU. Here are the specifications : Body: black limba (a variety of mahogany) Top: spalted flamed maple with purpleheart veneer Set neck: 3 pieces of flamed maple plus 2 pieces of purpleheart with a flamed maple central veneer Flat aka infinite radius fingerboard: bocote with flamed maple plus purpleheart veneers underneath, front (mother of pearl 4mm) and side (white 2 mm) dots at the usual places Positions: 24 silver/nickel 18% 2.4 mm frets absolutely unmarked Headstock: ABM headless system Pickups: 2 made to measure Cosme/Crel humbuckers under a ramp Ramp: black limba and spalted flamed maple with a purpleheart veneer in between Preamp: Delano Sonar 3 bands Controls : 2 parallel/single/series switches (one per pickup), volume (push-pull active/passive), blend, bass, mids and treble (tone in passive mode) with wooden knobs with real tiger eye stone on their top (a spare one will be delivered) Bridge/Tuners: ABM headless system Strings spacing at bridge: 17.5 mm Nut: none, but a zero fret Strings spacing at zero fret: 9.5 mm (width 55 mm) Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: black Truss rods: two, dual action, 100% functional Finish: oiled, natural Country of origin: France Serial number: 003 1210 Year: 12/2010 Weight: 4.640 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the C string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th position (can even go way lower, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a brand new Fame semi-rigid soft case. Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up and shielded (dead silent) professionally and will come with some new Dunlop Dual Design Straplok fitted on the bass. It has a new battery and has received a new set of amazing Dogal Hellborg Perfect Pitch Flat Wound JH1726S (26-35-51-71-102-120), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is excellent. Here is the link to 40 photos in high definition including the original purchase order with all the specifications and the handcrafting photos (construction): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13eVF4jA7LoSQcemGgv_x9QTuilbKO4CT?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

Just as @SugarlessJ mentioned in the Wal clone thread: "The dude from Herrick is selling one of his pickups and a Lusithand single nfp special in a Stingray Sub bass. I bought the prototype and with some fresh strings it sounds wild." https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335620793928 Really interesting for those ... interested. 🤪😉

@NancyJohnson, 300 quids for this is quite a bargain:

@NancyJohnson, it's just what @PaulThePlug found on Gumtree, not what he's offering. 😉

I'm a member of the Fun Sport Society too since more than 40 years and I'm about to retire now as I think I've tried almost everything bass related on Earth. 🤪🤦🥳🤣

A GSS 06B400 Mini Bass Amp works very well with an EUB or a double bass. https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-06b400-mini-bass-amp-c2x15043753

Mods, feel free to move this to the right place! Is there someone in the USA who can order small parts (only available for the USA) from Ernie Ball and send them to me in a padded envelope? It's not much, but I would appreciate to have these spare parts. Please contact me through PM. Thanks a lot. 😊

My 1979 fretless Music Man Stingray, a delight to play and stare at. I'm waiting for a transparent pickguard as the wood grain on the body is just wonderful.

Brian bought a Music Man Stingray style body and some bits, as he likes to say, from me. Everything was done the way a true gentleman proceeds. Ultra fast payment, excellent communication and a patient person as the delivery was slower than usual. Top bloke to deal with. Bye bye 'til the next time. 😉

In the pre-eq mode, the signal is taken just after the first (half of of the first) 12AX7. A 12AX7 is a twin triode, so it has 2 halves.

Listen to old/early blues recordings and you'll notice that they are tuned to the "how the most difficult to tune is right now", so it can be anything and even, to modern, ears, totally out of tune, but as they were all untuned to the same frequency, everything works. The "worst" are the solo guitarists, who were very often totally untuned, but they were making music without any problem as their instrument had strings tuned to themselves. Also learn Indian music or go to an Indian music concert, and you'll notice that first the pitch is decided by the singer and second he/she exposes the intervals which are never fixed and decided by the singer just before the event. In their music theory, the notes in their multiple scales all have the same name (sa ri ga ma pa dha ni), but the intervals and the pitch are not fixed, which is very clever and that's the reason of the adjustable (moveable?) frets on the sitar. Tuning to a fixed frequency is just for the ease of interpreting "classical" music the same way anywhere in the world.
