That is SO beautiful! If it was a 30 inch I would sell a body part, but 32 just does not suit my fretting hand (Does a bad bassest blame her scale length!?). GLWTS! S'manth x

Oddly enough I did try that with a long scale fretless but did not think of it for the Hohner (S'manth goes off to find said capo!) S'manth x

For sale is a DiMarzio Model P DP122 hum-cancelling two-piece pickup. Mint condition as opened but never used. A brilliant low cost upgrade for stock P type pickup or for use in a self build. The sales blurb Breathe new life into any bass by replacing its stock pickup with a DiMarzio Model P®. This hum-cancelling two-piece pickup brings big, punchy sound to Fender® Precision Bass®-style basses. The DiMarzio Model P® accurately reproduces the sound of your bass with added gain and solid tone. DiMarzio Model P® pickups cut through the band without sacrificing bottom-end power. Gutsy mid-range provides growl when the bass is pushed hard. Loads of reviews can be found on the web, here is a sound comparison to get an idea of their tone. Price includes delivery to UK address. My next bass build will be a five string so these are surplus to requirements. S'manth x

I can relate, it is almost the perfect bass for me ... it's just that my hands (whilst not small) simply cannot manage long scale S'manth x

I am selling my Zoom A3, a powerful pre-amp and effects processor that allows guitarists to remodel the authentic tone characteristics of their acoustic instruments on stage while continuing to use pickup systems for amplification. Aimed at acoustic guitars, I used it with my Ukulele with great success and I've read some posts on the internet of it doing some amazing things when used with a DB or EUB. Can be used as a DI, has both instrument and mic input and runs off batteries so a great option for mobile setups. From the Zoom page High quality preamp can be used with both pickup and mic Super-low noise design 3-band graphic EQ Acoustic modeling for restoration of body tone even when using a pickup Remodeling presets for 16 body types and 28 popular acoustic guitar models 40 effects specially crafted for acoustic guitar, including compression, equalization, modulation, delay, and reverb Up to 3 effects can be used simultaneously, in any order 20 memory locations for the storage of user-created patches Backlit LCD with contrast control for easy viewing in low-light environments Patch cycling Automatic feedback detection and elimination Clean Boost foot switch for up to 12 dB of additional gain Onboard chromatic tuner supports all standard guitar tunings, including open and drop tunings Tuner range of 435 - 445 Hz Tap Tempo for synchronization of delay times or modulation rates Auto Save function for automatic saving of all patch parameters Standard ¼" pickup input with three-way pickup compensation switch Combo XLR/TRS Mic/Line input with phantom power and phase reversal Input sensitivity, balance and master level controls Dual ¼" output jacks for connection to PA and headphones Balanced XLR output with ground lift for DI connection USB port for firmware updates Rugged die-cast body ensures roadworthiness Small enough to fit in your guitar case or gig bag Easily integrated into any existing pedalboard Runs on 4 AA batteries, with alkaline battery life of up to 8 hours User Manual The unit is in good condition and is fully functional, with some marks / wear&tear in line with it having been gigged. Price includes tracked delivery within UK. S'manth x

A very nice example of a Hohner B2V (Passive Electronics) 5 String Headless in Black. The bass is in great condition considering its age, just minor signs of use ... no major dinks/defects. Plays nicely, electronics in good working order. Two Volume Control and a Tone Control. Light weight (circa 3Kg) and compact. Scale: 34 inches Comes with appropriately sized generic padded gig bag. Available for inspection/audition/collection from Brighton, UK. Shipping can be arranged at cost. I LOVE this bass, the look, the feel, the weight, the sound ... but a 34 inch scale is just too spaced out for me in the money note region; I don’t find it a problem reaching that part of the fretboard, rather … my hand just doesn’t like fanning out the requisite spread to, say, play a major scale pattern (I play using the one finger per fret method) down there; I am experiencing this with all long and medium scale basses and so I’m needing to stick to short scale (or even sub short scale like the 23 inches on my bass ukulele) to play comfortably.
