I agree, it's a little surprising to me too that they're still here at this price. New they're twice the price! I've played these exact pickups live, from churches to outdoor concerts, as well as in the studio, and they've always been quiet in every environment. As for noise, it does depend on...

For sale I have a pair of Nordstrand Big Split pickups in a P2 shell. I got these used off of someone who took them out of a Singleton bass, hence the logo on the pickups. These are in fact Nordstrand pickups though; you can see both the logo and the model on the underside (pic included)...

With the original pickups I thought the bass sounded fine. The lows specifically were great. The upper mids were definitely the weak point of the instrument with the stock pickups. Any kind of chordal work or faster lines in the upper register sometimes got lost in a live mix. Since you have an...

Someone had asked for some samples in a PM, so I figured I'd post them here too in case anyone was interested. The neck and both pickup samples are in passive mode, while the bridge pickup sample is active with a slight treble cut and a slight boost in the low mids.

For sale I have an Ibanez EHB1005SMS in Metallic Gray Matte. This is the short scale multiscale version of their EHB series basses, with a 32-30 inch fan. This bass is proof you don't need a 35 inch scale to have a solid B string. This was my main gigging bass for about two years. Overall it's...

Maurizio makes some of the finest basses on the planet. If I didn't have another build in the works I'd be mighty tempted by this one.

Would you happen to know the string spacing?

For sale is a Yamaha BB1100S electric bass, made in Japan. According to the serial number, this bass was manufactured in 1984 (KZIH = 1984/12/21). For a bass approaching 40 years old, it's in fantastic condition. The bass has a 43mm nut width (about 1 11/16") with a neck profile similar to that...

I can record some samples if you'd like. You can see what strings are currently on the bass in the last pic (that's a spare set, but the strings currently on the bass are the same).

For sale I have a MihaDo Fingybass. This is a six string headless super short scale and multiscale 25"/23" bass, which makes it quite unique. Perfect for travel or for those just looking for something different. These basses are made in Poland and the build quality overall is really great. It's...

Just wanted to chime in to say that Mau makes some of the best basses on the planet. I have an X3M and it's become my main player. Superb playability and incredibly even tone across the bass. If this one were headless I'd be mighty tempted!

Bummer, thanks for letting me know
