I’m working on the premise that I’m “preparing” for 2023 abstinence Brendon. Plus my market place subscription came out automatically this week, so it’s @ped fault that I am forced into selling and buying through his coercive behaviour. It all makes sense to me brother.

Played it again last night, I think it’s too nice to give up on. Will persevere and try again. Excellent condition Spector 6 string. This is a beautiful bass with great build quality, plays great and the Bartolini’s sound beast-tastic mate. Sadly 6 strings are just a step too far these days for my old fingers, so I’m sticking with 4’ & 5’ers. Sale only at this stage. £450 Although I could be tempted with the following: Cheap 5 string Classic guitar an old low spec MacBook But would want minimum £200 cash my way. Happy to meet up within reasonable distance of Bath, Bristol or Bridgwater or will arrange courier if you contribute an added £10 to the price and I’ll cover the rest. More pictures to follow in daylight tomorrow. Will put a new set of EB Slinky nickels on or leave current ones on and include new strings unopened in packet for buyer. It’s set up with low action as I play with a light touch.

Ooh ooh do tell! I’ve been in touch with the chaps regarding the Weller fretless you signposted. Be interested in how you get on with your purchase! I’ve continued to buy via Thomann and had no issues with delays, but not bought anything over £200. Anyhoo enjoy your new purchase young man 😎

Mini bass 5er with rubber strings - currently £30
oldslapper replied to TheGreek's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Looks neat! Unusual to have a 5’er uke bass? -
Are you considering buying what I’m considering buying @NikNik😊

6 strings for those of us in Somerset

Taking BigRedX advice, it’s looking like roughly £450 should cover things. Found this online calculator https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/

Haha not talking about you Mike! Not helping my GAS 😂

Just seen this. Really not helpful! In fact I’ve contacted them to ask about import duty costs. Neck through, Kent Armstrong pups, Grover tuners. Very tempting

Hello! I find the neck profile, nut width and string spacing on these old Korean basses perfect for a 5 string. However the electrics and pups are underwhelming to my ears. So am modding one (including a defret) I’ve recently acquired. What say you, the BC massive? Pickups: My favourite pups are Bartolinis, so likely to replace with some Barts. Will require some widening of cavities as I believe the factory pups are 4 string’ers. Pre amp: My initial thought was for a “drop in” P Retro, but I would need to add a blend pot or switch. Don’t want to spend a fortune, maybe £300 on the parts? Here’s a stock pic:

Sourcing an Unlined fretless neck with maple board
oldslapper replied to oldslapper's topic in General Discussion
I should have been clearer, I’m after a P neck with unlined maple board. Not a fingerboard to fit onto an existing neck. Cheers 😎 -
Other than getting one made by one of the many excellent uk Luthiers, I’m having difficulties sourcing one off the shelf. Seems rosewood and ebony are readily available, but not maple boards. Found a Chinese based eBay seller, but never having bought direct I have no idea of quality and what import expenses will be added. 😤😩😭

So, I ordered and paid for a 6 string bass on New Year’s Eve and received it yesterday. So is that just “making it” before the deadline, or epic early fail? If the former, then I’m in!

Might be a Jaydee owners Facebook community? Worth putting a plea out there? I guess pass on as much info as you’ve got and you’re happy divulging. I sold a mid 70’s Fender precision fretless for peanuts to a music exchange shop in Notting hill to pay rent back in 1988. That bass got me a lot of work back then, and I miss it every day. Unlikely to ever afford to replace it now. Good luck with your search.

I stayed in touch with Thumper after his Finnbass demise.
