I was completely Phil Jones (Suitcase and C8 cab). Part-exed it for Markbass Little Mark 3 and Ninja 122 cab. Much lighter and louder. I wouldn't go back.

I've got an Ibanez EHB1005SMS and I find it so easy to play. When I go back to 'standard' frets it just seems so 'last century'. I'm a massive fan (see what I did there

This is the second time I’ve met up Ben. This time he was buying a Bass V1 from me. Great chat and lovely guy.

It's my playing. I haven't played guitar in 20 years and thought that I could easily slip back into playing simple barre chords, but because I've had to go to playing short scale basses recently because of arthritic fingers, those same fingers can't hold the pressure to fret all the strings. I'm sure someone with fingers in better condition can, but it's just not me -
I bought this yesterday for £400 thinking I really needed it, not realising that it's not great at what I wanted it to do, namely barre chords to fill space (being due to my arthritic fingers not being able to hold all the strings down anymore The place I bought it from had done the two things that are on all the 'improve' sites ie. put barrels in the bridge inserts to stabilise it and alter the bass E string bridge screw so that it intonates properly. It's also got new Fender Super 250's bass Vi strings (the ones it came with from the factory will come with it too). It's also had the white scratch plate changed to a mint green one (white one will come too), which gives it a great 60's vibe. It is unmarked and as new. I might trade for a short scale 5 string bass or electric upright bass. Let me know what you've got. I'm happy to post. This is what Squier say about it: The Classic Vibe Bass VI is a faithful tribute to the secret weapon of producers and adventurous players that have dared to explore it since its original production from 1961 to 1975. Tuned an octave lower than a guitar and featuring a vintage-style tremolo, the Bass VI is the perfect companion to accompany any guitar or bass player into uncharted territory. Player-friendly features include a slim and comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5"-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a floating bridge with barrel saddles. This FSR Squier model features a trendy shell pink finish with a matching painted headstock. Key Features 100% designed by Fender Inspired by original Bass VI models Fender-Designed alnico pickups Vintage-tinted gloss neck finish Nickel-plated hardware Matching painted headstock Specifications Body Construction: Solid Body Body Material: Poplar Colour: Shell Pink Orientation: Right Handed Neck Neck Material: Maple "C" Shape Fingerboard Material: Indian Laurel Fret Size: Narrow Tall Number of Frets: 21 Nut Width: 1.685" (42.8 mm) Scale Length: 30" Hardware Bridge: 6-Saddle Vintage-Style with Non-Locking Floating Vibrato Hardware Finish: Nickel Electronics Configuration: SSS Bridge Pickup: Fender Designed Alnico Single-Coil Middle Pickup: Fender Designed Alnico Single-Coil Neck Pickup: Fender Designed Alnico Single-Coil Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone

Dave bought a Darkglass vintage microtubes pedal from me. Very easy transaction. Great to deal with

Ibanez 1005SMS - 5 string short scale, headless, fanned frets, light as a feather and so, so comfortable to play. All I've done is have the side position dots replaced with some pearl ones because the originals were impossible to see on the roasted maple neck, otherwise it's probably the most perfect bass I've ever played.

Price drop Sale £120 - Trade - up to £150 Bought brand new last year for £199. Used for one rehearsal and, like every other overdrive pedal I've ever had, realised that I just don't like bass overdrives. It comes with its original box, instructions and Darkglass sticker. PS. I have stuck Velcro on, which I’ll leave. PPS. Excuse the dust, it's been sitting under the bed for the last 6 months. Here's the blurb from Darkglass: https://www.darkglass.com/creations/vintage-microtubes/

I've got the EHB1005 SMS version (short scale). Absolutely love everything about it. The ergonomics are just spot on, and the fan frets make playing ordinary' straight frets' seem so last century
-
New side dots added. I've tried moving both plugs on the circuitboard but get such an increase in volume going from passive to active (I’ve tried one, the other and combinations of both) that I’m sticking with the settings it came with.

I had three Maruszczyk Jake 5's all around the 7lb/3ish kg mark (two of them are with bass bros at the moment as I've gone short scale to the Ibanez EHB5SMS - short scale version of the one above).

I've had the 5 string bass version and would happily get one again. They are very well made (in Korea with left over parts from Fender Japan - don't quote me on that though) and have a good following online, though anything over £350 - £400 I would say is pushing it big time unless you are desperate to have that specific make and model (they are worth it, though nowadays you can get similar quality from other makes etc for about the same, so it's not worth spending more, in my opinion - though the red and gold ones are, I think, gorgeous and no one else will have one as they were only made for a couple or so years - they say because they were so good that they were eating into normal Fender sales).
