A lightweight (4.3kg) 1973 Jazz Bass in Olympic White, which is presumed to be a refinish but hard to tell due to the expert quality. I haven't been able confirm this and neither were the previous owners, with the neck joint showing no prior finish. It's simply presumed a refinish due to the stunning white which shows very little sign of yellowing, though it's entirely possible it was kept preserved for many years as its early history is unknown... Other than the finish, the pickups are Fender Custom Shop & the neck volume pot has been replaced. It is otherwise original with all original hardware. As you would expect from a '73 Jazz it sounds amazing with a great growl and feels extremely smooth to play. The only reason for advertising is that I'm looking for an equal Precision to replace it with, as I already own another Jazz with more personal attachment. The neck is in perfect condition and one of the nicest I've felt, it still has a ton of life in the frets and the trussrod has room both directions so it can be setup to whatever your preference. Currently setup with 45-105 rounds and a very low action. Rather than selling I am mainly looking for a similar age Precision to trade with. I'd be happy with any year up to 77 at the latest, however specifically looking for sunburst/rosewood, and with a bit of a preference for the older C-style logo... Similar to this Jazz I'm open to those that may have some electronics or hardware changes given that they fit the original style. If you think you have something that fits this criteria then please get in touch! I'd be happy to drive anywhere within a few hour travel time of Northants should it be preferred, and will include the non-original hardcase that it's currently stored in, many thanks.

Spector NS Dimension MS 5 in Inferno Red
Papbear3012 replied to vmaxblues's topic in Basses For Sale
Hey mate , I’m stuck in Lisboa for work right now, but if the initial deal falls through, I'm absolutely keen once I'm back in Belfast! Happy to sort out the postage fee too, no bother. That's a stunning piece, would love to add it to the collection! -
Fender Jazz graphite necks £450 - now accepting individual orders
Kiwi replied to Kiwi's topic in Graphite neck - ordering
It's a little surreal for me as well. Can't believe things have come together like this but I'm thrilled to be making it happen. -
Bill Fitzmaurice subs are very light, but they chew up pack space. They all make gobs of 60hz for your low B. Nothing makes 30hz in useful amounts.

Wow this bass is stunning. It looks perfect and at that price it really seems like a brilliant deal. The sunburst finish, slim fast neck and active electronics make it sound like a joy to play. Really nice that the sale is going to charity as well. -
The "top-of-the-shelf" stuff such as pre-CBS Fenders, certain Ricks, '60s ThunderBirds, Wal, Alembic is likely to stay on the expensive side. Other gear will eventually drop in price, since less people seem to have disposable funds for vintage stuff, and those who do want the pieces that I was referring to above. That's a very pretty instrument you have, but an EB-2 is not an easy bass to sell. Never was. It's not even a matter of price in most cases, you just have to bump into someone looking for that unique appeal that these instruments have. I was lucky to find a buyer for my '68 two years ago. Good luck.

i don't really understand the question?

I own seven right now. That's about half of what the count was two years ago. What I'd *really* like is to get down to three, but I don't see it happening since it's tough to sell anything bass-related in my neck of the woods these days. As for everyone else...you know your limits...I guess...

I still have a few valve amps keeping me company... 1) A 1964 Hagstrom Bass 210, 10W (1xECC83 + 1xECLL800) 2) 1968 Gibson Thor, 50W (2x6EU7 + 2xEL34) 3) Circa 1971 Carlsbro CS100TC, 100W (3xECC83 + 4xEL34). I own two of these, this is the better-looking one. Each of them sports a unique character and is well-loved by silly old me. In all fairness, I do own a couple of SS amps and a hybrid one as well, so I can't say I'm an "all valve kind of guy"...

I'm sure it sounds great...however... DIY stuff has never been my cup of tea, since I'm a clumsy ox. Secondly, at the prices that used L2/L4 heads show up in this neck of the woods it wouldn't necessarily be a cheaper solution...since I'd have to get someone else to make it for me. I'll eventually find space for one...somehow. Soon enough.

It does, but that is no different from an ABY pedal or just connecting the direct of one effect to another, its the same signal. You can put a different effects on different parts of the same signal, but ultimately it will still sound like one bass with different processing on it.

800W Head with 1 x 300W & 1 x 600W Cab
Downunderwonder replied to fionajas's topic in General Discussion
A highpass filter will help you with the big booms and save on stretching cabs into distortion. Next problem becomes overheating which manifests as getting quieter despite turning up, until no sound comes out. Before that happens you need to get the stage volume under control. No way you should be unable to hear yourself properly with a stack of speakers and 700w amp. -

I think they just get better each time I see them. Great gig at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester tonight. Awesome!

I vaguely remember that photo 🤔 Could it have been Nick Smith?

I like seeing your boards and living vicariously through them!

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Ed_S replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Heh, I do appreciate it more now I understand that not everyone does it, but it comes with mixed blessings and curses when it's all you have to work with. The most obvious issue is that I'm stuffed if I can't hear myself properly on stage, but having to commit every song I play to memory, to the same extent, irrespective of whether I like it or not, does occasionally make me wish I could just read them on the gig and then not be humming them to myself for the rest of eternity. -
Cheers guys. I have a red one as well that will be going on sale next week! The charities need the dosh more than I do, plus I'm having fun restoring basses and meeting some great people. Donations welcome!

Lots of folk run parallel effects chains, and I’ve done it a lot in the past. My most common application was to run one long chain of pedals, then have an octave down in parallel so you can ‘kick in’ the sub under a line. Blending dirt pedals together in parallel is also very common. There are loads of blender pedals out there, but the most easily accessible is the Boss LS-2, which does a million things and everyone should own one, just for trying crazy routing options out when an idea like this hits. Though you have two outputs, I think using them for two chains will be less flexible that just using something like an LS-2 or other blender to split one output, due to the fact that most blenders will let you swap between just A, just B, or A+B mixed at the press of a button. I assume the value in your dual output is really to run one to amp and another straight to DI and FOH.

Lazy Bear 4 way pedalboard patchbay. Little chip on the bottom which I did today whilst removing dual lock tape. Turned the air blue, I did. Other than that, it’s in excellent condition. £25 posted. -
Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!
pantherairsoft replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Effects
Awesome. I’ve had my eye on it for a while. Really appreciate the sound clips! -
We have our own X32 and we supply the engineer with a 16 tail snake/loom with each output individually labelled up. We plug ourselves into our splitters>X32 and sort our leads for IE. Prior to getting this you are generally at the mercy of the engineer giving you a mix (or mixes) but I've not encountered a situation where we get to do our own mixes. -

I have to take issue with the idea that Neil Peart could be bettered as a drummer in the sense that it's not a case of good, better, best. There are better drummers than John Bonham, but none of them could have improved Led Zeppelin. There are and always were much better trumpeters than Miles Davis, but he was Miles Davis. Niel Peart had a style and a delivery that made him iconic. It's not just what he played, it's what he represented at a particular time. Put a "better" drummer in Rush and their music would be diminished, not enhanced. I thought most of his lyrics were bloody awful, though. I am sure this semi-reunion will be rapturously received but I think it's a bit of a tragic to be yearning so strongly for the past. I never imagined Rush would go this route. I suppose Geddy must be bored of polishing his basses. I just hope the intervening years haven't diminished Geddy and Alex's prowess. I see so many artists who go on performing after time has robbed them of what once came so effortlessly. It's painful to watch.
