    I'm fairly sure you have a similar affliction (too many basses)!

    Glen bought a bass from me in a pleasant, hassle-free transaction. Prompt comms, prompt payment, met at a service station to handover and had a natter about basses. Top banana, enjoy!

    I sent it back. Fit and finish was generally good but some really uneven frets that would have required fret levelling and that's past my ability. Fair play to Peach, once I'd sent them a video of the buzz despite raising the action (relief was fine) they took it back and paid for the postage. I've now found a matching colour (to my P) Chinese CV jazz from 2008 which is fantastic (big fan of these).

    You can collect on your next visit to Jimmi!

    Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet II shell pink. Strung with LaBella Deep Talkin' flats. Excellent condition, no dings or dongs. Only things to note are the jack isn't the tightest and there's a small hairline finish "crack" near the neck pocket (last photo, it really is very minor). Cellophane on truss rod cover and partially on rear cavity guard. Some small bits of cellophane under pickup screws that I should have got off before photographing! Have original packaging so looking for £250 posted or can collect from Orpington BR6. Can potentially meet up to 45 minutes away from Orpington or get to family near Shefford in Bedfordshire if that's of interest to anyone to collect. Bought during a Royal Blood obsession but simply have too many basses (so my wife keeps telling me). Let me know if any questions, any inspection welcome. For clarity these were/are advertised as having humbuckers but our lobster claw wearing friend across the pond discovered they are actually single coils. Plenty of YouTube videos on these, they sound big! Specs here: https://gretschguitars.com/gear/build/bass/g2220-electromatic-junior-jet-bass-ii-short-scale/2514730580

    Lovely Stingray Special Aqua Sparkle 4H just listed (no affiliation). Very tempting.

    Bought some strings off Clarky, got back to me promptly and super swift postage. Many thanks, top banana!

    Can now post this if that's of interest to anyone.

    I was lusting over this, but on the fence. Only because I was after a white one with rosewood board and my repeated experience with GAS is as soon you buy something, the thing you were really after becomes available. Your comment pushed me over the edge, damn enablers! This will be my second purchase from Will, and he's sold three for me, all remotely and all of which have been positive experiences.

    @BassAdder27 Looking good! Did the Fender HiMass bridge drop straight in to the existing holes? I've read the earlier (crafted in China) CV's had a different, non-Fender screw spacing, but the later ones are the standard Fender spacing? Struggling to find a schematic with measurements of hole spacing.

    I've ordered one. Should make a great platform to do some mods and if there's any QC issues I can send it back. I've got an earlier Chinese CV 60's P which is a keeper so I'm hoping these haven't strayed too far from that formula. Will be interesting to see how light the Indian laurel fretboard is in person, I'm not a massive fan of the looks of pau ferro. Some lovely tones:

    Smidge on drop tuner (mark on middle clover part near screw): Mark to headstock edge: Pickguard planet white pearl: Some images of the neck pocket, as it's an expensive bass and it's not the cleanest I've seen:

    Stingray Special 4H in speed blue. I bought this from Will at BassBros. I have got permission from him to use his photos from the sale as they are far better than anything I could take. Just to be clear, the bass is with me and not BassBros. The original sale advert is here (with more pics): https://bassbros.co.uk/sold-basses/2021-ernie-ball-music-man-stingray-special-4h/ Complete with original hard case but no case candy. Standard apart from drop D tuner, with original included. I've just weighed on my electronic scales at 7.6lbs. It came with a gloss black pickguard and spare white one. I contacted Strings and Things (official Ernie Ball UK distributor) to source an original white pearl one and they advised buying one from Pickguard Planet which would be the same, but cost less and produced with a quicker turnaround. So included is the Pickguard Planet white pearl (71USD) and both the black and white pickguards I got it with. Excellent condition. The only marks are a minor graze to the headstock and a minor mark on the drop tuner. I will get some photos up of these in due course. Serial #: F95171 Manufactured: April 7th, 2021 Build Code: 107-DS-20-05-CS-BM Model: StingRay Special Neck: Roasted Maple Neck Rosewood Fretboard Pickguard: 3 Ply White Pearl Hardware: Matte Black Hardware £1750 collected from Orpington BR6 or can meet up to an hour away. Have family in Henlow SG16, Beds so can also get the bass there fairly easily.

    Sold Steve a bass. Prompt payment and comms, he came and collected and we had a good natter about basses. I now have some new bass lines to learn! A pleasure; top banana!
  18. Happypants
    Phew!

    Had some trade enquiries, not really looking for trades as trying to thin the herd, ta.

    Photos below. Only real marks are to bottom edge and near jack, as pictured. Just weighed on my digital scales at 8.2lbs (3.719 kg).

    2021 Warwick Streamer LX 5 Ltd edition. German Pro Series / Teambuilt. 69 of 100 Bought this as the same time as a Stingray 5 and I’m favouring that (I think down to string spacing). I will get some pictures up on Wednesday but it’s in excellent condition as per the original advert and hasn’t left my little practice room. I will also confirm weight with my scales (it’s certainly light). Original advert here: Comes with all original accessories as per the original advert. Don’t have outer packaging at the moment so collection or meet up strongly preferred. Collection from Orpington BR6 or have family in Henlow, Beds SG16 so can get it there if that’s any better. Happy to drive up to an hour from Orpington (possibly a little further depending on where you are). Happy to take payment in 3 parts monthly with bass handed over at completion of payments if that helps anyone.

    Just to note the finish has darkened due to sun exposure so if you take the pickguard off you can see the difference to the original. Now £250 posted.

    Sold Tim a combo. Prompt payment and comms, a pleasure. Top banana!
