Obby Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Originally bought for £850 (The chip on the back was already there and the reason for the reduced price) Prices online vary from £999 - £1200 from what I have seen. Second hand Hardly Used (One gig) Needs a change of strings and some tweaking but everything else works absolutely fine Case is included Message for any other details.

The strings on it are a cheap set that I bought for the show I played it in, that combined with my inexperience with headless basses just means the tunings pegs at the bottom might need some adjustments/tightening. My apologies I am still quite new with all the details of gear but yes I believe it is a short scale bass I measured the neck and it came to 32" Edited July 14, 2022 by Obby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 The low B string looks to be off the saddle, and also not actually secured in the tuner body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the string spacing looks weird... Just a bit of magnetic pull with it lying flat? Is the action super-low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short I cut the strings incorrectly and so the string extended at both ends (the tuning peg is fine) but the string itself is essentially broken, I never changed it.

Tubster Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Hi Obby - thanks so much for your reply and for the clarification. After a bit of digging, it seems to me that this is not a short scale model, your measurements also confirm this. I haven’t seen this color in a shortscale but in the Emerald Green only. I’m happy to be corrected. Additionally, the string installation problem totally clarifies why a new set is called for. Hope your sale goes well and once again, many thanks for your transparency.

Not if it is a 1005ms, as it appears to be, the 1005sms is the short scale and it comes in a darker green than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6feet7 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I'm still not clear if this is the MS or SMS version. A photo of the back of the 'headstock' may have this printed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missis sumner Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I have some further information and can confirm that it was the SMS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
