  1. Yes shipping isn’t a problem - it’s in a hard case and I’ve got cardboard boxes/padding etc - send me a PM
  2. It’s less than I can get for it selling to trade, I’ve been offered £800 to trade it in - and that’s what I’ll be doing if someone doesn’t buy it pretty quickly. I’m not leaving it up for ages, I genuinely thought I’d have had a lot of interest - I’ve got the exact same bass in sunburst with different electronics and I paid £1599 for it, these are up with Sadowsky Metroline etc in terms of build quality
  3. For sale is a fantastic sounding & playing Mayones Jabba Classic 5 active super jazz with SD Bassline pickups and a Sadowsky VTC preamp. It comes in a semi hard case with a white and spare black Scratchplate, and spare black bridge and silver control plate as well as strap locks & Dimarzio strap. 24 frets, block inlays and 34.25” scale it’s an incredibly comfy bass to play with a nice slim neck. This bass sounds and plays fantastically well, like a bass that costs well over £2k new - a proper boutique jazz bass! These are the Good points, however it’s extremely cheap because it has its faults too.. Bad Points: The bad points or point is quite simply the body/finish is a bit rough. The worst of it as at the back - there’s some pretty heavy buckle rash, and then around the edges the finish has worn down to a matte, now it’s a trans black finish anyway and so you can’t see it too badlY around the edges/front but it’s there and the buckle rash you can definitely see, although it’s obviously not visible when you’re playing If this bass’s body/finish was in great nick then it would without a doubt sell for £1300-£1500+. There’s nothing wrong with the neck (it’s a 34.25” scale with a great low B), the hardware and electronics are premium, basically if you don’t mind the finish being a bit rough you can get this bass for half the price it’d be in Bass Direct etc. I really didn’t know how to price this, and I am sure it’s underpriced for what you’re getting - this is a top top end Boutique bass - you’ll barely find a Mayones anywhere for under £1700, but I have 2 now and honestly I need the money I’m afraid! This will make a fantastic gigging bass for someone, apart from the buckle rash and dulling of the finish in places there’s nothing wrong with it, most of it is hidden at the back anyway and you can’t really see it on stage anyway. I have priced this tho sell quickly - I feel like this is an absolute steal for somebody, the sound, neck, playability and electronics are all top drawer. Comes in a semi hard case, shipping can be arranged for £25
  4. PM’d you mate
  5. Messaged you mate
  6. If postage ever becomes an option please DM me @Lozz196 and let me know, this would have sold within a week if it had been I think
  7. Just Traded my Overwater with Keir for a Mayones Jabba that I had previously owned. Bass came back to me playing better than when it left & always a pleasure to deal with Keir
  8. Got this through the post on Saturday - wow! Very impressed with it so far, really adds a little bit of magic to your tone - I had the mk1 a while ago but this is a pretty big upgrade on that - highly recommended
  9. As said already a Tapered B string of the correct gauge (I used 135’s) worked great in making a B that sounded a bit flabby sound a whole lot better. I have a 35” Lakland jazz and the B is fantastic, and a 34.25” Mayones Jabba which again has a great B so I’m not sure scale length alone is everything, but I’ve had several Fender V’s and the B string has never really been “good” on any of them - tapered B string definitely fixed it somewhat, but I generally swerve Fender 5’s - they make fantastic passive 4 string basses, so they’re all I really look at from them now (unless I can play it first)
  10. I’m giving it some serious thought!
  11. Don’t see many of the new Sansamp’s out in the wild - how do you rate it?
  12. This might be worth a look if you’re after a 5st one - they’ll no doubt take that in Trade too Id have thought, although will probably cost you a bit of cash too, which might not be ideal! https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/gmr-soundboard-5-string-pre-owned/ I really like GMR basses - that’s a proper bargain for £550!
  13. Just wondering about the preamp/electronics on this - does it have a tone control and if so is it only in passive or whilst in active too? Cheers
