  1. Past hour
  2. Bought these recently here and they’re great but I decided to go with my preferred choice on a bass I’ve modded for a particular situation. In my trial with them I found them to be quiet and even with low output as described (alnico standard) but much better than stock pickups. In other words...pro improvement. My East UK active preamp has gain adjustment so that didn’t pose a problem. I thought they were vintage voiced (60’s) but even slap style sounded pleasant. I preferred the more hi-fi sound of the EMG for the stuff I’m doing (plus I have more vintage styled instruments available). I also did the series/parallel switching with them and that was great (versatile option) but you can choose either as both ways sounded great. The original post: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/518269-celinder-ss-humbucker-alnico-jazz-pickups-sold/#comment-5561431 I have epoxied the tabs so they’re much better and poses no problems to mount the pickups. I’m asking what I paid for them and this includes UK shipping.
  3. Just Like Heaven - The Cure
  4. A reasonable expectation that justice be dealt before Christmas?
  5. Ok, update on my bitsa. Fender '64 vintage pickups & Monty's J loom setup fitted. Just need to get the soldering iron fired up. A little hefty at 4.6kg but hey ho, see how it goes 😏
  6. Yeah, I think this is the one for me. Loved the QC except for the size. Honestly a Dual Cortex would’ve been perfectly sufficient for my needs at a reduced price but this looks epic. The smaller form factor combined with the v2 captures which are apparently a big improvement on the already impressive v1 is a great sell. It ain’t cheap and obviously there’s the Anagram but the ecosystem of captures out there vs NAM and ease of doing my own are the thing that’s put me off. I’ve never been a fan of the bass focused drives I’ve tried in the past, all my favourites are guitar centric so the bass-focused side of the Anagram is actually a little off putting.
  7. Drop to £2000 before withdrawing.
  8. I don't think it was this one, but still, I can hear the difference:-
  9. There's a great example video on YouTube I saw a while ago. Its very subtle but the timbre does change from one position to the other. Three of my basses are reverse P (notably the Fender Power Jazz Bass Special model) and I have reviewed a good pile Spector basses over the years with reverse P pickups in them too. Tonally I prefer the sound of my 76 precision with the standard layout but one thing that certainly does sound WAY better is a PJ set in the reverse configuration. The D&G strinsg need that distance between the coils of the P and J to sound less thin together.
  10. Seriously, so were some of the CDs, including some fairly niche compilations that were out of licence.
  11. Lovely, if I didn’t already have one I’d be checking my wallet
  12. Just released (Probably to coincide with NAMM). Looks just the ticket for us who like a few outboard pedals with a modeller!
  13. Up where we belong - Joe Cocker
  14. Good point, live arrangement for a studio recording to make it more dynamic, makes sense.
  15. +1 for the Gotoh. It’s now the bridge of choice for my builds. Excellent quality at a reasonable price. I have also used some of the Guyker and Wilkinson bridges if you wanted to go more budget friendly.
  16. Today
  17. Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush
  18. Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden
  19. Original bands often change their songstructures, why not a covers band, too. It has nothing to do with the intention to improve a "flawed" hit song. My band often moves parts, plays songs longer, give certain parts a different vibe. It simply catches the crowd´s attention, which is good.
  20. Just liberated a G&L L2000 from Jamie’s ownership. Great bass, exactly as described, and Jamie’s a pleasure to deal with - thank you 😎
  21. Love that song! Over The Hills And Far Away - LZ
  22. To the best of my knowledge, the only one in the UK.
  23. The disc is years old and out of print, so I doubt the maker will honour anything.
  24. GAS is a a terrible thing. So there I was all content after a really good year, then boom and 'must have ' bass punched a mighty hole in the budget. So, my two latest acquisitions need new homes. They are brand effectively and we all know the G & L story so this is it, want a new one?, you wont find any better. Here is my surf green SB-2. Without question a bass out on its own, spicy MFD pickups (with their trademark adjustable pole pieces), Twin volume control which on other SB-2s i have found to be really easy to dial in a volume/tone needed. That said the modder in me has purchased the dual concentric knobs ready for a stacked volume tone per pickup (like the early Jazz basses). I can throw those in. This hasnt been gigged (one jam session tho..) so is 10/10 perfect. Vinyl wrapped black plate (easily removed if needed..plain black underneath). I know i'll regret letting this go, they are going to be a cult classic imho. This was bought literally a week before G & L went out of business, so one of the last out the door. Fully set up with EB slinkies set on all fressh and ready to go. I can arrange shipping at buyers expense insured (or uninsured at buyers risk).

  25. GAS is a a terrible thing. So there I was all content after a really good year, then boom and 'must have ' bass punched a mighty hole in the budget. So, my two latest acquisitions need new homes. They are brand effectively and we all know the G & L story so this is it, want a new one?, you wont find any better. Check out my other listing for my SB-2 or take a look at this... NOW £450 Anywho. 3 TSB Jazz bass, the G & L version, spicier pickups than your average J type bass in this price range. Beautifully finished and in 10/10 condition. Vinyl wrapped plate easily removed . I have been after a nice example of this since seeing Ritchie Kotzens 'riot'. I finally pulled the trigger on this new one in the early summer and very pleased i am too or was until i fell for 'another' way more expensive J beast. As with the SB-2 i'd love to keep it but needs must. I love the bridges on these bad boys. Fully set up with fresh EB slinkies. Can ship at buyer expense, pickup from Rochester or exchange somewhere near to the M25.
