  2. 2018 Fender Limited Edition Parallel Universe '51 Telecaster PJ Bass in excellent/new condition with all original paperwork, tools and case. Weight: 4.3kg / 9.48lbs. This is a lovely passive PJ bass with an amazing tone, described by Fender as "punchy, growling, seismic and like nothing you've heard before." I agreed when I tried it, hence why I purchased it from new. However, my recent retirement now dictates that my bass collection be trimmed to fund my other addictions. As a Limited Edition it is relatively rare, with a unique set of features which also appealed to me. The translucent nitrocellulose lacquer blonde finish allows the ash grain to show through beautifully IMO. Also included is the framed Fender promotional Parallel Universe '51 Telecaster PJ Bass artwork to adorn your studio/man cave wall. Happy to provide more information or photos on here or via Personal Messenger, just ask. Price is £1500 collected from Bury Saint Edmunds or localish meet up. No trades please, just a straight sale, thank you for looking. Link to Fender video:- Specifications:- Body: Solid Ash. Body Finish: Blackguard Blonde Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer. Neck: Maple with maple fingerboard. Neck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Front, Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Back. Scale Length: 34 inches (864 mm). Fingerboard Radius: 9.5 inches (241 mm). Nut Width: 1.625 inches (41.3 mm). Controls: Dual Concentric Volumes, Master Tone. Custom Shop '60s P Bass split-coil middle pickup, Custom Shop '60s Jazz Bass single-coil bridge pickup. Stacked volume knob, where the top knob adjusts the volume of the Precision Bass pickup and the bottom adjusts the Jazz Bass pickup. Master tone control. Bridge: 4-Saddle Hi Mass Vintage-Style Bass with vintage-style nickel-plated brass saddles. Tuning Machines: Fender® Lightweight Vintage-Style Keys with Tapered Shafts. Fender blurb:- The authentic style extends from the slab body, distinctive single-ply black pickguard to the dual-concentric volume knobs and vintage spaghetti logo on the Telecaster-style headstock — original-era touches brought into the present. What's more, the neck recalls the time of James Jamerson, as it's based on a '63 P Bass profile ideal for funky, thumb-over playing, and the 9.5"-radius fingerboard makes for fast, low action. In all, the '51 Telecaster PJ Bass has the look of the bass that started it all, but several contemporary trappings. The result is a bass that is punchy, growling, seismic and like nothing you've heard or seen before. Photos to follow very very soon!!!
  3. Heyyyyy Jeff, you’ve got me KS hooked! Many thanks & hope you’re well, (a bass guru & absolute top man with a fabulous collection)
  4. Thanks. And what are the pickups?
  5. Volume (pull up for passive) and pan with three way selector on the top row. Bass/Mid/Treble bottom row Three way gives front/dual/rear coils on the humbucker Edit: there are also dip switches on the preamp for pre-selecting the mids frequency.
  6. On the fence with this one. But new incoming purchase…… Brought on a whim, but every time I play it I fall in love again. Comes with grey Strandberg case and tools.

  7. Buy it this week and I'll throw in a pedal that fits in the case - which one to be agreed in a fun conversation about pedals...
  8. Ash body rosewood fingerboard 9lb 11oz
  9. Active or passive? Looks like a stacked tone knob.
  10. Yes, our sixth and last one. But I put it up here to show the benefit of the Renault Master front wheel drive chassis. Not needing to accommodate a prop shaft the load floor is much lower than your average Luton. Removal guys run these so it may be possible to find something similar. Our headroom was 2.4m
  11. What do all the knobs do?

  13. Looks great, rather imposing in a good way
  14. Bought this off Delberthot on Saturday, it arrived today, but unfortunately, it can't be modified to fit a 4003 (there's that hairbrained plan out of the window... Doh!). The post is 17.5mm / 11/16". I paid £65 + £5 postage (Friends & Family), and would like the same.

  15. I’d imagine these will sell like hot cakes if the MXR, Labella & Mike Lull collabs are anything to go by!

  16. 2006 Squire Vintage Modified Precision Bass in Olympic White for sale - with some modifications to dress it up like a 70s P bass. I will include the Thomann gig bag with the sale. I have always wanted a 70s P, but as a mainly 5 string player I knew I wouldn't use it that much so I didn't want to commit too much cash to one. So, I found a Squire VM P bass in Olympic white which had a few dings online and then proceeded to create my own. Personally I think it looks great and it saddens me to sell it but I could do with a little cash injection right now. So, the main change is the headstock. The squire details were removed and sanded flat, some discolouration added to age the wood, a 70s decal added and then a vintage amber Nitro lacquer from NorthWest Guitars. I have flatted it back and flatted off the sheen from the back of the neck so it's nice and smooth. Aged string retainer and neck F plate was added (I always intended to add aged tuners and bridge but never got round to it.) Body - it had a few dinks here and there which have been added to (nothing major to be honest) and the bass still has the Seymore Duncan designed pickups, original bridge and tuners. The olympic white has aged and yellowed really nicely and the rosewood board is nice and dark. I know this won't be to everyone's taste but if you fancy a 70s P and don't fancy the price of one, this could be for you! I have included a picture of the original squire serial number for information. Not sure what else to add about the bass. It plays great and sounds just like a P should. The previous owner changed the wiring to cloth wiring and added an orange drop cap to the tone control. Any trial is welcome and I have packaging to post. Will look at quotes and would be happy to share the postage costs.

  18. £750 for the bass.
  19. Bought a Hipshot BT1 from Derek, effortless and smooth, and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks! 👍
  20. I have one of these - it's one of the Spencer Doren built units (3 Leaf Audio) from the very short collaboration between him & Darkglass. Loads of info about that relationship on that other forum! Suffice to say, a pretty well built box that does the low gain thing very well and a possible collectors piece in years to come? GLWTS.
  21. Today
  22. Hey all, I just managed to get hold of a bargain Vanderkley 410LNT (4ohms) to pair with my 210LNT (8 ohms), powered by my Glock Heart Rock II (putting out the full 1000 watts @ 2.67 ohms). Although it also sounded great when I had a 4 ohm 210LNT (now for sale here!) paired with the 8 ohm 210LNT, something bothered me about having unequal power going to the same cab types. This is has scratched that itch. Good Lord. It sounds huge. (Sorry, neighbours)
  23. Its defo the DB500 not the foundry, the foundry does nit have valve drive but does gave a master volume control
  24. I think, given the shape of the control plate, scratchplate, etc, if the bottom edge of the headstock was cut straight to match the tuner side it would suit the guitar far mode, like a symmetrical pointy shape with a rounded end.
  25. I've never had a P-bass. I spent some time with a mate's battered and badly set up '75 precision and that was like being behind the wheel of a classic car and I could see how I'd use one for a project, but I had no desire to actually own one. It's a bass I'd use for a purpose, but not one I'd pick up to play out of choice, if that makes sense? I did fall head-over-heels in love with an early 80s Ibanez Blazer which was their version of a Precision. Good grief, that thing played and sounded like nothing else, but I just don't play 4-strings now.
  26. That's the custom Precision and the Aerodyne Jazz away. Didn't see the point in keeping them to look at. I never really gelled with either of them, so I've zero regrets. I can say for sure that I'm 100% not a Precision guy. They both paid for some nice wheels for my old car, so I'm happy. I've still three Jazzes, a Hofner and the Ric, and I've no desire to change anything out just now. If it came to it and I could only keep say two, I'd hold on to the Vintera and Ric.
