  1. Past hour
  2. Really good and not just for the money. The bridge pickup is underpowered compared to the P pickup, but that’s not unusual. I’ve been considering putting an EMG GZR set in it and selling the JMJ.
  3. What a great looking bass. No doubt you're going to have a great time gigging with it! Having spent five days with Jon in his workshop a few years ago, I know how good he is what he does and how much pride he takes in doing things properly.
  4. An alternative solution... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/514065-it-came-from-the-black-lagoon/#findComment-5523942
  5. Damn!!!! What a killer price!
  6. My partner likes stinky cheese. When visiting Maastricht I went to a cheese shop and asked for their stinkiest cheese and was told that airlines would refuse to take it in the cabin. I was returning by train so that was fine! I got in late and the smell was so rank I had to put a note on the fridge to warn the other half and the lodger that it was the cheese and to be prepared before opening the door.
  7. Looking forward to getting mine! Mine is the PJ configuration. That natural finish though! 😍 sounds like a good trade if you ask me!
  8. I got it back in around 2010/11 I think. £500 on eBay!
  9. New and unplayed, Ruf Records latest prodigy’s new release. Features Kingfish Ingham and Shemekia Copeland. Powerful stuff from someone who’s touring here in the autumn and should not be missed. £20 from Amazon, £10 posted UK here. NOW £8
  10. No issues. Any questions, please let me know. Shipping available.
  11. ^This entirely. Not many of those out there and they sound great.
  12. His latest posthumous release is a double CD and DVD presentation from the Swiss Baloise Festival in 2008. Highlight is Al Kooper’s I Love You More Than Youll Ever Know b Retails at over £20. This is sealed and unplayed, £12 posted UK seems reasonable.

  13. For anyone who hasn’t heard this, it’s superb, good luck mickey
  14. 2CD box still sealed. £12 posted UK. *Now £8* 40 track digipack featuring all of Punk legends The Vibrators’ releases between 1976 and 1978. Features the single version of ‘Baby, Baby’ on CD for the first time and now comes with the bonus of their singles for RAK Records ‘We Vibrate’ and ‘Pogo Dancing’ on which they backed Chris Spedding. Arguably the essential Vibrators period! 40 tracks of prime punk…

  15. Atelier Z Baby Z-4J represent! Easiest playing bass I own. The knobs have been replaced with Sadowsky-style aluminium knobs (Guyker) since this picture was taken, just like Atelier Z uses now (the old ones were the stock Bartolini knobs). Otherwise it's still very much the same. I believe the Baby Z (or any Atelier Z with the KTS titanium rods in the neck for that matter) isn't actually made by Atelier Z themselves but by Fujigen Gakki. Either way, it's a fantastic bass! Controls are neck volume - bridge volume (pull for passive) - stacked bass/treble (boost-only). It's quite a powerful EQ that can add a lot of oomph and a pleasant zingy top end, while still sounding very musical. A passive tone control would have been nice, but is not a must. It has a slight neck dive, but nothing that a good strap can't counter. I traded my 1981 Ibanez MC924 for it with a lefty friend of mine in the US, and I have zero regrets. The Atelier Z weighs about half as much as the MC924, and has a lovely narrow U-shaped neck that instantly felt familiar. The 17mm string spacing at the bridge took a little getting used to, but is not unlike some of the 5-strings I've owned so wasn't a huge switch. It's brilliant! If I ever find a lefty PJ version (with a reverse split coil) I don't think I could resist.
  16. Open to near offers on this if someone can collect fairly soon…
  17. Ohhhh I love this! What a sick finish! Have you had it long?
  18. Here's my 76 Mustang. Lovely little bass. It's got an almost 40mm nut, so it's fairly chunky for a short scale. I've put Hipshot Ultralights on it because the original tuners were knackered, a stainless steel refret and it needed a refinish when I bought it, so I did a bad job of a white blonde nitro, complete with a black vinyl racing stripe decal and matching strap! All wear on the body is by me since refinishing it. It's been to Japan and back with me. I dont' have much call to use it right now, but I'm not sure I can part with it! It was my first Fender, and it just fits me. And here's me (when I still had hair) playing it on tour in Japan back in 2012.
  19. If it was the Manchester to Shrewsbury train it’s a devil for being late or too few carriages to cope with demand. And they wonder why so many would rather drive!
  20. Are you going to stain the back of the neck to match the body?
  21. Thankfully I have the huge library of pedals that a friend has to test them out. I just go for what sounds best and what is good quality, if it’s cheap that’s a bonus!
  22. Here are a few I’ve owned over the years - still holding on to my JMJ. I also own a Fender Mustang PJ II in white and have an Atelier Z Baby Z on order. Over the years I’ve probably had 10–12 Mustang-shaped basses in total. Highlights (and lowlights!) include: - A Firemist Gold Fender PJ - A second 1978 Musicmaster in white (honestly pretty rough, definitely not my favourite) - The natural-finish ’78 Musicmaster pictured below - one I really regret selling - A couple of heavily modded Squier Broncos - One pictured below So at the moment I’m down to three in the collection, but Mustangs just keep finding their way back to me.

  24. In which case I'm a complete wimp. I recall it being a lot heavier
  25. Superb quality padded hotcovers protection for the Markbass 801 combo. It is in great condition. Price includes InPost locker postal service within England, Scotland and Wales.
