Wow that’s a sad reason for a sale..”I’m selling because my playing days are over”

Must be a hard realisation.
If it's illness or injury then yes it's very sad.

Looks like Bill Wyman traded his bass in for a metal detector.

New bass amp yesterday.
Probably not very exciting for the actual bass players among us, but I’ll do a silly video about it shortly.

So obviously with the crap weather in Canterbury this Spring/Summer I've got to play a lot of bass

Few things

A passive bass strung with flats into a decent compressor (Diamond) into a valve amp is 88% of what you need

Cheers bro

It's listed in Electric Guitars not Bass
It's in no way 'identical' to a '66 Jazz

So my new idea was get a strung through Precision V Fretless
But then flats don't like through body stringing.
I was thinking the strung through would help the B string
