Trade options added: I'll consider any 5 string, 35", 19mm string spacing, not too heavy. I'm basically looking for a Bass of similar quality to the TM5 SL but slightly longer scale and wider string spacing to suit my 6'3" size and Orangutan arms and hands. Perhaps worth noting the going-rate for these new: £2,389 from Guitar Guitar (that's a slightly fancier version with matching headstock and a Pau Ferro fingerboard) £1,540 from DV247 or £1,490 from Thomann (but that one isn't available for 10-13 weeks and I wouldn't be suprised if the price goes up once it's actually available), as I've already been offered £1k part-ex from a shop I will probably visit them (or other shops) when I get the spare time so if you're keen or have a potential trade then contact me fairly sharpish.

Edit: Sold Steinberger Spirit XT-2DB with drop D tuner. £150. This is a decent sounding full scale (34") Bass that packs into a small gig bag. It also has drop D tuner but the end of the lever has snapped - the lever still works though (see photos) or can just be left pressed down for standard tuning. A couple of paint chips on corners. Everything else works well and it plays well. It's roughly 3.3kg. Pickup from Twickenham preferred or postage for £20. Text from Andertons (who are selling it for £349 new) Revolutionary versatile design The Steinberger is widely perceived as one of best travel guitar solutions on the market. Don’t be deceived by its sci-fi looks; this bass is designed to provide a crystal-clear sound that’s versatile enough for any application. A Basswood body and Maple neck provides a light playability and balanced, neutral tone. The tonewood combo is the perfect platform for the XT-2’s humbuckers. The HB-1 bridge pickup gives you clarity and bite, while the HB-2 neck pickup adds warmth and weight in equal measure. DB-Drop Tuner The headline feature of the XT-2DB is, as the name suggests, the DB-drop tuning system. This revolutionary design allows you to instantly tune the lower string from E to D, so you're in drop-D. This tuning is popular for everything from folk to thrash metal, so being able to change from that to standard and back again is immensely handy. Here’s what Steinberger say: Steinberger presents the XT-2DB Standard 4-string Electric Bass Outfit, the Ultimate Travel Bass featuring the revolutionary Steinberger body design, the DB-Tuner system for instant drop tuning (low E-string to D), 40:1 Direct Pull tuners, patented DoubleBall Bass Bridge, powerful Steinberger HB pickups, plus a deluxe gigbag. The XT-2DB Standard 4-string Bass Outfit is part of Steinberger’s new Spirit Collection and is available in a Black Gloss Finish.

I've got a 5 string Passive P Bass itch that needs scratching! If my Sandberg TM5 SL sells while this is still available I'll contact you (or I know you said no trades, but give a shout if that trade for that changes your mind).
