Vin Venal

The ultra has a battery box.

Reduced to £110 posted.

To avoid confusion with the price I initially put in the field, I've just reduced it, so it's now 275 quid if you can pick it up in brizzle, 300 quid shipped. Bargain imo.

Thanks, yeah these are amazing instruments. I moved to short scales a while ago for comfort reasons, and if you need a short scale 5 string with an actually useable b-string, this is the way to go imo. Thought the fanned frets would take some getting used to, but it was only about 15 minutes of playing before I got it, and now I don't even notice the difference, even going back and forth between this and other basses. Only reason I'm selling is I gradually crept back up to 34" after getting used to medium scale.

Didn't think I'd sell this, but I'm back on to long scale instruments. If you're a short scale person, this is pretty much the ultimate short scale IMO. Very lightweight, incredibly comfortable to wear and play. Doesn't require double ball end strings. Tuners work great. Incredibly stable, with carbon rods and a roasted neck which is nicely figured. The pre-amp is fantastic too, with the parametric mid control giving you basically unlimited tones. Would prefer collection in Bristol, but have a box, so can potentially ship, at buyer's cost and risk. Ibanez gig bag included. It's guitar sized, so would make a phenomenal travel bass.

I know it's the world's most annoying question, but - weight? Even if you don't know it, a guesstimate along the lines of 7ish, 8ish, 9ish or more lbs would be appreciated. Cheers. 😁

Do you know the weight?

Not sure actually. I bought it in January of this year, and the seller described it as "barely used" and "near mint". I don't tend to use words like that when I'm selling stuff, cuz they mean different things to different people, but certainly since I've had it, it's only been used indoors, and it looks like whoever had it before me didn't have it long and took good care of it too.

Yep, these are the 32" scale versions. Jags are confusing, because there's never been any consensus on what scale they should be, and both fender and squier seem to have done them in everywhere from 30" to 34". This one is Indonesian made, nyatoh body, 32" scale neck, 38mm at the nut, Indian Laurel fretboard. It looks, feels and plays stunningly for a cheap bass.

I do now have an appropriate box, so happy to discuss shipping. Would be around £35 with adequate insurance.

£275 collected. Will ship at buyer's cost. Ampeg Portaflex PF-500. Comes with the gig bag, which I don't think you can get any more. These amps sound great. I've had 2 because I keep coming back to how good the pre-amp sounds in these. Only selling because I have a smaller, more powerful head with built in overdrive which is more useful to me, and can't afford to keep both. 275 quid collected. Uk postage at buyer's cost. Cheers Vyn.

Darkglass Alpha Omicron. Great distortion pedal with an unfortunate name. Supplied with box and instructions. No sticker or plectrum, and no power supply. Velcro on the back. 110 quid posted in the UK.

Darkglass Vintage Microtubes. Great overdrive pedal. Supplied with box and instructions - no sticker or plectrum though. These didn't come with a power supply to my knowledge, so not included. 125 quid posted in the UK.

Howdy. Moving this one on to fund another purchase. Great instrument, quality well above its price point, and sounds great. Stacked volume/tone pots for each pickup makes it super versatile. Will include the schaller strap locks. Doesn't come with a case, so collection only preferred in Bristol. I do now have a box, so could wrap in bubble wrap and ship at buyers risk. Only thing I'd note is that one of the screws on the P pickup is rounded off, so can't adjust the height on that side, but it sounds good where it is. Cheers Vyn.

Pm sent.

I have one of these and love it. If you play short scales for comfort/hand issue reasons, but need a 5 string, this is the way to go IMO. String tension is very balanced across the fretboard, and it keeps that short scale playability, without sacrificing too much on the low b. I've thought about upgrading the pickups to Aguilars as you've done, and think it would definitely improve, but I also find the pre-amp is plenty good enough to make up for the slightly dark Bartolinis. Think it's more of a personal preference thing rather than an a virtual necessity, as some of the youtube reviewers suggest. I dig that it looks so modern, but kind of sounds more like a thunderbird than a dingwall, with the barts. GLWTS!
