My fretless jazz has a PF fretboard and I like it. When it arrived the wood did have a dry open texture feel to it. I applied a series of fine sand paper and waxed it and I'm very happy with the result.

Indeed! Before I bought mine I didn’t believe it would sound as good as it does and hooked up with an old band mate to try his before I ordered. No, the band leader hasn’t heard it yet but I’ll take it to the next service we do 😈

I mentioned the U-bass to the band leader in our church band and didn't sense any enthusiasm at all, yet it sounds awesome!

I have the Kala 'striped ebony'. At the time it was the cheapest Kala model in Thomann's range, though they don't seem to list it anymore. Not my photo, but it looks like this:

They weigh virtually nothing, but I'm happy to weigh mine for you. I've only had it about two weeks, but I love it. Somehow it defies the laws of physics - such a deep bass sound for such a small thing. I'm gigging it on Tuesday at a Morris dancing thing as a substitute for double bass while a leg injury heals. EDIT: 2.6 lbs

I had one of those from about 2001 to 2022. It did its job. I donated it to a local music school and as far as I know it's still going.

Our renaissance-folk-rock duo went to a local open-mic on Monday - the first we've done for a couple of years. We did a medieval tune on recorder and bongos, then a Blackmore's Night song with octave-mandolin accompaniment. It was well received. Of the other acts my highlights were an American over on holiday doing some folk, a lady playing John Playford tunes on a melodeon type instrument, and a couple of younger singer-songwriter guitarists.

I'm reliving my 1980s with this Clannad album...

Don't have one of those either

Thanks for the clarification! Sadly I do not have 10 x £300 basses to sell

BTW, the 25B Crush amp you sold me is still going strong - and gets gigged every couple of weeks

p.s. I see the buying/selling advice includes "there is a fair use limit in place of 10 listings per month" - which is not unreasonable. 👍

Thanks Mr.Burrito.

I am wondering whether there's a limit in the to posting for sale adverts? We're moving house soon and there's 20 years of stuff to clear out!

I kinda like the idea. But I'd want to see the inside as one mahoosive PCB rather than all those circuit boards and flying leads.

I just sold a WL-20 wireless setup to Gareth. A smooth transaction, no problems.

The stand part is easy - it's for an NS bass and I believe it is this one: https://www.thomann.co.uk/ns_design_nxt_tripod_stand.htm The bracket on the bass was a bit of a project. From memory I think I bought a piece of square steel plate from a guy on ebay, and also a laser-cut steel disc. My friendly local car mechanic welded a nut on the back, and we drilled and tapped threads.
