Well - after a rather lengthy hiatus due to work/family/mental health and all that jazz, had the wood kicking around for this for ages so decided it needs doing. Decided to go full DIY (sans hardware) - winding my own pickups and making a preamp! Doing this as more of a "proof of concept" than anything else, as I've never built a multiscale bass before, or indeed put a preamp together. Bit late posting as most of the process is done now, but hopefully is of interest to someone! First of all, as always I spent a good few evenings designing in Inkscape, here were the results:

Hey Sean, yes - I was chatting to the new owner earlier - He was saying that most of the original SUBS have tatty necks where people have misguidedly tried to strip the gloss paint off. This particular example played like a demon. It was a very nice bass.

That's lovely, Richard. There were a few times back in the day where I nearly bought one... They were an absolute gem for the money. The likes of these don't exist anymore.

Received a brilliant loom for my P bass project, incredibly easy to follow the instructions and a huge improvement. Thanks!

I've just sold a Höfner gigbag to Jarrad, and the transaction was a delight from start to finish. Very happy, and very happy to recommend him to Basschatters who might be dealing with him in the future.

No problem, just dropped you a personal message 👍 Cheers Freddie -
I had the bass version, because it also had guitar amp sims. The Marshall sim was particularly good. I thought some of the FX were excellent, the chorus, delay, and the simple but effective compressor.

I'm sure it'll be better than that Fender Flea signature active Jazz. -
And if you're looking for an amplifer with a suitable feature set then I recommend the Bergantino B|Amp (second time I've mentioned it today!) as it has high pass and low pass filters along withe a feedback destoryer (handy for acoustic instruments) and an fulllly parametric 4 band EQ rather than being forced to use what a manufacturer says you should have for your EQ. Oh and there was one for sale recenty in the ads section too.

Hi! I’m looking for a Api Tranzformer LX pedal. The old version as shown in the picture. Please send me a DM if you want to sell yours. cheers! Percy -
Thanks. I did try that but it didn't produce the desired results.

Very nice bass but surplus to requirements. An unusual colour for us leftys', Electron Blue. 2007, Alder body, Rosewood on Maple neck. Original pickups but the bridge gave way so I replaced it with a high mass one. I have a white pearloid scratchplate that came with it included. Not my cuppa! Great sounding, I used it mainly for a Paul Rodgers Trib and the bridge pickup is smooth and tight for those lines. All in all it's a rare thing and hope someone wants to look after it. I will include a Hiscox case for safe travels. Had it on ebay and I thought I'd sold it but the guy was very strange and hasn't followed through on the bid. Beware the 0 feedback rating! I would consider a trade for a Fender Precision (only) of equal quality , ie Player models or Mexican (If thats allowed) Thanks, Paul -
Why not?

Redditch? Worcester?

Ive used four different wireless systems over the years and they've all seemed to suffer from some distortion (not the nice kind) particularly when digging in with high output basses. I was gigging last night with a passive jazz (quarter pounder pups) and even with that I noticed it a couple of times when playing hard over the bridge pickup. I'm wondering if this a 'thing' with wireless systems that we just have to live with or whether it's just the systems that I've used and need to splash out a bit of dosh on something better. So far I've used a Senheiser Freeport, Line6 G30, Xvive and currently on Lekato WS50. I'd be interested to hear your opinions and learn from your experience. Cheers.

....although he now plays wooden necks again...... (will be a great bass assuming it's what I think it is) 👍 -
I think Ric's plasticware (and shinyware in general) is the best in the business.

A JazzRay! No, er... A StingJazz... Aha! A JazzMan! That's better. Something to do with Flea, perhaps..? Interesting how several of us are going down the same route and creating something unique. 😎 Mine is a sort of Vintage & Modern theme - taking the things I like best from my walnut Status S2-Classic and my workhorse American Original 60's Jazz. Typically, you can't get the Fender Pure Vintage 64 pickups anymore, but I've already got a set of the 66's (from the current Am.Vintage II) in another bass. So in keeping with the '66 theme, I've ordered some Gotoh lollipop tuners in black, like the rest of the hardware.

Hi Fernando. I'll DM you. -
That would be great, but we're talking places like Cheltenham if we go south, which is only tangentially Midlands. Then there's Warwick / Leamington Spa etc. Again, we're a bit on the western fringe. I realise that Nottingham, where we had the one I organised back in - 2021, was it? Or 2022. Anyway, it didn't suit everyone, by any means. Google says Meriden! Or Fenny Drayton. Not much help. Sorry.

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

This was on my list but somehow I tried this in Bass Direct over the weekend and it followed me home. I'm really not a fan of white pickguards but this bass was all sorts of shades of amazing in both feel and sound palette. I even liked the price. I had to do it. There are options to configure a darker colour on the Public Peace website but not sure I can be bothered 🙂 Shout out to Adam their newest staff member. Really cool guy.
