  4. A wonderfully lightweight Precision Bass with a straight neck, fully functioning Truss Rod, uprated Seymour ‘Duncan Designed’ Pick ups, professional KiOgen solderless Loom with Bourns Pots, Switchcraft input Jack, Fender Spaghetti Logo and comes complete with an as new (apart from a small scuff to the piping on one corner, please see next to last pic). Ordo lightweight softshell rigid foam case. In excellent condition with a 50’s style vintage two tone tobacco sunburst. Ti Flats fitted since original pics were taken. This is one of the very few sub 8lbs P basses I’ve encountered during the past half Century, weighing in at a mere 3.4kg - or 7.5lbs in ‘old money’ It has had a really nice set up - level frets etc. & plays really well with a low action and sounds like a good P Bass should, with more growl than a very growly thing from the Planet Growl partly thanks to the Maple fingerboard, but I suspect mainly due to our own John’s (Kiogen) recommended capacitor on this fabulous Loom. The headstock has had a refin & a spaghetti Fender logo applied to the headstock by a previous owner to a very high standard. What Fender say…….

  5. A really nice example finished in the beautiful Fender Dakota Red. It has had a really nice set up - level frets, low playing action & is in excellent condition. It feels about the same size as a Strat to me and weighs in at 2.8Kg, or a tad over 6lbs in ‘old money’ The back of the neck has a lovely flame to the Maple. Other upgrades include a KiOgen wireless loom, Bourns potentiometers, Switchcraft output Jack socket, uprated pickups and a spiffing Celluloid top layer faux Tortoiseshell pickguard. This Bass would be ideal as a travelling instrument, for a beginner, or anyone with smaller hands. Because it is so small - about the same size as a Fender Stratocaster, it is ideal as a studio Bass or just for ‘noodling’ - Guitarists love these as they feel familiar in their hands. Included in the sale is a Gibson heavily padded Levy’s Gig Bag which although is a tad threadbare in places, still provides excellent protection. Solid Popular Body Maple Neck - Beautifully fingered on this example. Indian Laurel Fingerboard. What Fender say…….

  9. Pretty much mint condition bar a couple of tiny marks on headstock which I've tried to show in the photos. Very little use, taken in trade but I'm just not using it (got 'trumped' by another bass!). Comes with a slightly battered Sandberg gig bag, good for storage/protection but with a broken zip on the main front pocket. Collection only, Bristol

  10. I still have it, yes. May finally put it on an instrument.
  11. I think hand shape may have a lot to do with this, too. I note from the pic that the OP has similar hands to mine, ie tentacles. I’m also one of the few who finds low-profile computer mice comfortable.
  12. That R&B one is quite an ingenious bit of kit. Probably not very versatile though.
  13. That's very admirable however I'm sure most members would prefer to see you receive a fair price for this. I recall paying £250 or £260 for mine. I see no shame in asking for more. You're not being greedy if you do, the because these are pretty decent instruments and yours is quite simply worth more than a hundred quid IMO
  14. I really love those ACG basses! great designs and craftsmanship!
  15. Today
  16. The "hole" near the attachment arm, isn't a blemish.... it's for adjusting the neck angle. I should have mentioned in my first post, that the necks on these are removable, for packing down smaller for taking on tour / air transport etc. But the beauty of the system is that you can finely adjust the neck angle to set up to your preference, and it's really quick & easy to do.
  17. Not just a great bass player but a cracking songwriter, too.
  18. I have more faith in both than I do in your average piece of audio marketing fluff
  19. Though to be fair, they are good cases...
  20. it's not just the thd that differs although thats a biggie. how long did it sustain this output power before limiting kicks in? at what frequency (was it 20-20k or just 1k)? what is the crest factor of the signal used? was the amp degraded or damaged to produce this figure? are the quoted watts rms, peak, music power or aes (among others)? (aes should be the modern standard but Im still skeptical that it's evenly applied) what was the ambient temperature when tested? was the test carried out using a passive or reactive load (can the amp absorb the back emf generated by a speaker and still retain control of the coil) that's just off the top of my head. there is just too much wiggle room to skew results, making the figures pretty easy to inflate and ultimately pointless similarly, I have some led lighting that's marketed as c700w. actual power consumption is nearer 100w so this bullshit isnt just inflicted on the audio sector
  21. I like that tortoiseshell, where's it from?
  22. Maybe I'll make a new post for this, but I thought I'd share the first pictures of my build!
  23. a great bass head Let me know if you decide to part with the hdn112 cab my man
  24. Thanks! I plan on checking the sounds at a store, not sure how much YouTube videos help 😅 but I did like P sound best so far Well, for someone with zero skills. If I ever manage to learn then no 😁 Thanks a lot!
