Have heard good things about Lenspeed. Isn’t cheap but you don’t have the parcel force broken neck.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

Love that @RichT, I had been watching that same one on bass direct. Looks fantastic! -
Cheers! You could probably sell a few small ticket bits and this will still be around -crazy slow market at the moment. -
It’d be a single s/h high end bass, so the change from not being brand new would pay for a HB too. 😉 As so many have said, the quality of ‘mid-range’ instruments now is comparable to the high end of 30 years ago. Nobody really needs that high end instrument, but we do it because they are nice and usually it is simply because we can afford them. I’m a guitarist who has converted to bass, and have owned or played almost everything (in the guitar field, not basses) at some point; I currently have a midrange Eastman, alongside a handmade boutique build and a high end Gibson. I love all three, but the first two are the ‘better’ instruments. I’m already finding bass is much the same in terms of market quality and having had a couple of HB basses through the door in recent years -the only thing I have against them is boat anchor weight, otherwise absolutely cracking for the money.

Cheers. It really is a cool one, sounds great, looks wicked. However, I’ve definitely realised I’m a shortscale guy (makes sense after 30 years of guitar). Had some interest and some interesting trade offers, really could do with some cash to go towards a new acoustic though, so hopefully it’ll go soon. 🤞

Buyer had an unfortunate bill crop up so this is back up for sale. Roll up roll up, come and get a mighty fine orange thing.

Had a few interesting trade offers, but nothing that I can’t live without yet. I’ve seen a nice acoustic for sale elsewhere, so hoping to raise funds for that more than anything. Also had a few questions about weight, so out came the kitchen scales. Was surprised to see this come in at 9lb 11oz, always thought it was closer to 8.5 (didn’t feel substantially heavier than a few of my guitars). What I’d say is it balances perfectly, no neck dive and feels a comfortable weight.

Agree with @Pea Turgh, a flat keyboard stand should do it. I keep an ac30 on one, and it does the trick nicely.

Cracking looking bass, very classy. -
I’ll take them if they are still available please. PM incoming. -
New pictures added. Fender Jazz bass FSR Pacific Peach - *SOLD*

Well ain’t that a pretty thing -fantastic colour! -
T3 was a cracking guitar, I gigged one for a while. That said, the guitar market (more so than the bass market it seems) is so traditional and struggles with anything that isn’t a dyed in the wool Fender or Gibson.

Keep seeing these advertised on the musiczoo or similar US website. They look ok, but there are so many other great offsets out there -do we need another? And for me, are they going to be any better than the uk makers such as Trent or Daniel’s? I’d imagine not.

You can’t have enough orange in your life. #fact 😉

What a clever little device, so much better than the original! Rather jealous, I’ve dabbled in pedal steel in the past but am yet to spend time with a b bender. Great find op.
-
Beat me to it there. Yes, guitar and bass but more guitar focussed. It’s in the classifieds here too @soulstar89
-
Interesting. I wonder if that means it was a special run for a store -or if I’ve got the details totally wrong. 😂 Unless it was this very bass? This is at the back of my mind. It’s a very comfortable weight too which is also in its favour. 🤔
-
Aren’t they just, makes me have second thoughts about letting it go as it is so comfy to play.

By my understanding this one can be justifiably called rare (although, more than happy to be corrected). It’s an unusual factory special order PB70US in Capri orange. The ‘US’ in the title refers to these having the USA precision pickup. I was going to upgrade the pots but never got round to it as it sounded bloody marvellous anyway, but will include these in the sale. Comes with the original white pickguard and Japanese paperwork. Pickguard has been changed to black (looked more 70s that way) and bridge and pickup covers added. It’s got a lovely dark rosewood fretboard and is a joy to play. Currently sporting flatwounds (and a lump of foam for that Motown sound). Includes the fender gig bag. Condition is pretty good used condition -odd mark, scratch and light ding, though nothing major, have tried to capture these warts and all in the photos. Happy to share more and answer any questions if you’ve concerns. Would prefer buyer to collect from north Northamptonshire (just off the a14 near Kettering), or can drive to meet. I do have boxes, but not having a hard case it won’t be insured, so would prefer not to go down that route. No longer after trades as I’ve just picked up a new acoustic, so a further price drop to get this shifted: £850 gets it.

I’m really impressed with it. This modern run are built in partnership with one of the Japanese factories and it is the usual high quality build we’ve all come to expect from Japanese made guitars and basses. It plays really well and was almost perfect straight out of the box. Smallest neck I’ve ever encountered on a bass, but kind of fun for it.
