    Nice set of Fender Jazz Bass pickups. Red+black bobbin set with creme/white covers, which dates them to ca 1982-1984 (Dan Smith era). There are no date stamps. The pickups work well. Both covers show signs of sanding on the top. I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship anywhere.

    But ... but ... will nobody think of the Dots? 😱
  5. LeftyJ
    That would date it to February 1981 then The grain is amazing because you're not seeing the mahogany but the layer of ash wood that's glued to the top and the back

    CHVRCHES. Oh, wait...

    Sounds exactly what I do these days. I tend to drop a tad off the bottom end and add volume so I hear MY bass and not the circuitry colouring the sound. Then it's just simply altering the tone control and finger attack for each song.

    Before the audition: While going through the songs, use a looper to get a thorough understanding, how do you really sound. Be in time - I repeat this from your excellent notes. I read most of the songs from a tablet. Quite many push the bluish light level very high and look like some people with excessive cheapo makeup in an early metro. Beware. I wouldn't connect myself to an unknown PA if I hadn't the possibility to adjust it before playing. Last week I had a gig where I didn't hear anything, but boom. Gigs from hell. All cables and a spare one have to be with you. Others will not have the one that you need if it isn't with you. You know this if you look at the g-word players. Be professional and polite even though they aren't. Stories are stories, speak less and let the playing show your abilities. Time for funny stories is later. You can tell a very short story about yourself, remembering your musical education, and experience. What else is needed? A car? Do you have to pay rehearsal room? Anything special from their side? Side projects?

    I used WISE to buy a bass from Japan recently. Worked seamlessly....

    Speak softly... and carry a big stick. In other words, be approachable and genial and make light friendly conversation on arrival...... but know your worth and don't feel intimidated. You are auditioning them as much as they are auditioning you. Chat with the drummer and keep eye contact with him. You will be seen to be locking in, he will appreciate it.... and his could be the vote you need if it comes down to you and one other. Let them know what other skills/useful things you bring to the table. e.g. are you great at listings, social media, have a following of your own, do you own a PA/van etc.... Good luck!

    £100 is a bargain. If you have a rehearsal space or recording studio this would,make a great addition to any setup. Also if you want to achieve Jaco's tone for a very affordable price, look no further. GLWTS 🤩

    Fab-looking bass. I play same way 😎

    That will be the old Ashdown ‘blanket over the speakers’ effect 😎

    I confirm the box/papers exist and will be included

    Classic bass synth pedal. It's seen a lot of action and it has a few marks and scratches, but it's only cosmetic.
  22. mcnach
    Independently footswitchable clean boost + VLE (low pass filter) and VPF (a bit like a 'contour' control, scooping mids while boosting low/highs). Standard TS output plus balanced DI output (XLR). Original MarkBass power supply included (but it works fine on standard 9V supplies - I used it for years with a T-Rex Junior supply, you just get a bit more headroom if powwered at 12V) Bypass can be buffered or true-bypass (switch at the bottom).

    One of the best tracking octavers I've tried. Usual OCT1/OCT2 plus blend. Great condition.
  24. mcnach
    Analog cab simulation, very tweakable, includes adjustable HPF, EQ, it works as a headphone amp, and with TS and balanced XLR outputs. Great condition, just a bit dusty...
  25. kevin_lindsay
    All wired up - now to get the setup and intonation sorted

    Fair point, although I did think of that a while back but it causes some some back PUP placement problems I am pondering though, I might look for a short-scale FL neck and do some experimenting with a rather interesting test-bed body I have 👍

    Yeh, there are rare occasions when every moderator I need to ask a question of isn't instantly available, sorry about that. Anyway, it should work now.

    Seeing as on a fretless you don't really need to change the frets for scale length, if you want one of these as a fretless you just have to get a normal one and move the bridge 2.5" up the body
