Boo. was hoping for a wonderfully uniform piece of nato/mahogany so I could change my mind... another colour keeps on creeping into my conscience...

If you’ve got a multimeter and 10 minutes spare, for sure

Bought this on a whim. I’m going to clean it all up and tweak it - also will be wearing some better strings. the good... It’s a decent looking bass, Korean made - early 2000’s. It’s got a 35” scale - decent B. Emg HZ pickups. Nice Neck Profile. Great colour. East Preamp (U-Retro 2006) - read on... Passive tone is pleasant. The bad... Full disclosure. Preamp does not work. Worst case - the east knobs look fab. John East thinks it could be down to battery leads - I would look into it but...read on. Lots of little bumps and nicks - nothing catastrophic. Has an “odd” tuner on treble side - I might have a matching one in a draw - I will update. Bridge has a little “lift” at the string anchor points...but I’ve seen this on plenty of basses. Maybe 0.5mm at worst. I spoke to Kiogon who can make a passive loom for £60 based upon Les Paul VVTT with a series/parallel and pickup selector to fill the switch holes - just an idea if the Pre is totally dead. Anyhow - it’s here if anyone fancies a project. If you can resolve the preamp issue - it’s a £200+ pre. If you’re looking for a workhorse 5, here it is. Postage possible...would prefer collection. I will do all the muck removal tonight or tomorrow. I wanted to have this for e-c tuning, but I have an ongoing BB project and no spare time. 😉😘

I didn’t in the end - I’ve a 350f I’m modifying. The 450 is basically a passive 1100s - which is no bad thing. If you fall out with it - I’ll make room. 😉

Love that - wish he’d have posted when I asked. what a beauty
-
I still find it weird that I’ve had one for 12 years and use it so little
-
It’s a trb5 I don't think the ii had the “slap cut”
-
Well. Wouldn’t you know it. My little mouse sander has met a grisly end due to being squished by something (heavy) in the move. Have no fear, on offer in B&M - £20
-
A life with no knobs - wouldn’t that be nice.

Urgh 😂

Really decent basses these. -
You'd think Darth could afford a real one!

Is that not a Modulus VJ? Noice. -
Yeah possibly. Think the bb5000a I keep sharing a picture of is early 90’s
-
Haha, just all purple sparkle...
-
Er. I’ve started sanding the paint off
-
Right, can’t find my black and decker mouse thing... shame. so tried hand sanding... yeah, need to find the mouse. although, relic BB looks cool.
-
I love it when you pull it out, carry on.
-
Will send you a message.
-
Yeah, it’s a 5 string, 35” And for a really complicated preamp. I give myself a headache sometimes.
-
I might not to be fair. I’ve done that on the orange one - want this to look super 80’s
-
Yeah, looks like I might have to bite the bullet and spend as much on the machineheads as I did the bass. In no rush though - going to take a couple of months this at least. And I woke up this morning to find I’d won a bass on eBay which I don’t want, or need 🥴
-
Yeah, just arranging price 😬
-
I’m bang at it all the time. Happy to sell/swap the (slightly worn) 1024 guard I have to sort @lee650 out with a 5 string version - they’re frustratingly close 😣
