[quote]This is a 5 string bass made by Rockers, the guitar shop in Denmark Street, Central London. When I bought it it had a very thick neck so I used a plane, file, electric sander and varnish to reduce the width. It is slim now and this procedure did not reduce the stregth of the neck. (It made me wonder why it had to be so thick in the first place.)

My filing and sanding was pretty good though not perfect so there are a few bits (difficult to photograph) where you can see a file has been (you certainly won't get a splinter!). However the next buyer might wish to sand it down even more to make it even smoother.[/quote]

Only £60 BIN.

It looks like a Stagg-a-like to me. I presume that the shop just put their moniker onto a standard OEM thing. Still, it is very cheap.

The neck looks like it's already starting to 'banana'

Gutted. My dog was after a 5 string.

As soon as I saw that on the listing I was gonna say exactly the same thing... word for word (even though I don't have a dog).
