That's the thing I don't get - those Wilkinsons were a straight swap for the tuners in my Epiphone Les Paul Standard which were a straight swap for the tuners which replaced whatever replaced the Gotoh GB7 in my Burny. 1mm is enough to cause you bother. Perhaps the tuners vary from year to year. TL:DR - drop in replacement is never guaranteed. Have or learn the skills to recover the situation.

As ever, late to this party, but thought I'd drop a line to say 'Rock On Neeps! Looking good'.

Trickfish Signal Filter (From the new line of 2023/24 Trickfish pedals) cost £215 new, I paid £140 for it on here It has a HPF (with makeup gain) that goes from 38hz to 310hz, and a LPF that goes from 15khz to 330hz - these can be operated independently unlike any others I have seen where you have both on or neither on, this you have a footswitch for each The usefulness of this pedal live cannot be underestimated, HPF especially with the makeup gain takes all the subby LOW lows out and tightens your bottem end up, stopping you from sounding boomy. LPF can be used always on - so maybe 8-10khz to get rid of unwanted shrillness and string noise, it can be used in lieu of a cab sim, or you can use it like a passive tone control on basses without one - it does loads, very useful. Takes a normal 9v pedalboard power supply, only thing wrong with it is a couple of the letters and numbers have started to rub off, but it’s done a lot of gigs with me - it still works a treat and there’s no issues with its functions, footswitch, potentiometers etc. Comes with instructions, I thought I had a box too but I can’t find it at the moment, so I’m not promising you the box but I’m hoping it turns up. Has some duo-lock on the bottom, I can remove that if you want These are £215 new still, I’ve got a Stomp XL now so I’ve no need for this now. I have priced it very much to sell at half what I paid - no point letting it sit here for weeks and it not move - someone else is welcome to it at what I think is a very reasonable price £70 inc Postage (RM Tracked) -
Very true………and Fender has a history of falling behind. An earlier example was the Precision Bass Special, which was their first active bass coming out in the early 80’s. I know that was a troubled time for “Big F” but having a big brand name is just not enough, especially these days.

2001 Fender Geddy Lee Jazz, now just £700 (no trades)
Clarky replied to Clarky's topic in Basses For Sale
Am heartily fed up of eBay tyre kickers with 78 questions/requests who then disappear .... So to keep this in BC community, £50 price cut to £700 (plus 24 or 48 hour economy delivery at cost - £15/20 or thereabouts). PS. The DiMarzio Ultra Jazz noiseless pickups alone cost £150 a set ... -

Apologies - I previously conflated them as "remasters/remixes", but missed the 2nd part in my statement. 🙂 But yes, it would take a remix to, as you say. I think remasters give an opportunity to use better equipment to create the final product, maybe with less effects & adjustments in the (ahem) mix to get in the way of what comes out of the speakers. I've also picked up a few HD-audio tracks; they can be a (ahem) mixed bag too. FYI, I'm just in the process of auditioning a cable to connect my pre-amp to my power-amp; it's quite interesting. I'm not sure at what point someone changes from being an audiophile to being an audiophool, but if you can hear it then it doesn't matter whether someone else can't (or won't). (I'm a member of the Steve Hoffman forums.) -
I'm guessing the circuit is in series so if it was a dodgy solder connection then there wouldn't be any output at all?

About HARD CASES !! I'm a happy user of a TT4 fretless and the gigbag is OK (sure looks a bit naff though) but I'm amazed Sandberg don't produce or otherwise offer a hard case for their basses. I know my California will kind of fit a Jazz Bass case but not exactly. Seems to me an insane oversight on their part -what do serious touring players use (custom flight cases I suppose). Anyone recommend a decent hard case that fits a California well?

I'm not sure mate? Hopefully a Moderator can help. Maybe if you Report the unwanted ads, the Mods can delete them for you? -
Thanks Clarky. This, and my Fender Custom Shop 1960 Jazz, also for sale here, are the best relics I've seen and played. They were both used as back ups to my genuine pre CBS basses. -
Just one. How do I get rid of the first two ?

£200 reduction. -
I do agree Tom, but without the original packaging, I'd be concerned about sending this out into courier world. I also much prefer potential buyers to confirm they are happy with the item in person before they purchase. However, if a buyer would be prepared to arrange collection by their preferred courier I could source appropriate packaging. -
The rumours are that a new album is indeed on the cards!

Erm.... how many of these cabs have you got?

The evidence supports that, absolutely. Pino, Lee Sklar, Will Lee, Charlie Haden, Steve Swallow, even Marcus. All these guys have massive CVs whereas the Jeff Berlins, Hadrien Fraud, Michael Manrings etc crowd are much more limited in their catalogues. Who gets the Steely Dan gigs etc? Always the solid guys.

When was the last time Fender brought out something where there weren't established market leaders in place already? What useful innovations have they pushed since Mr Fender sold out in the 60's? The Dimension tried to enter a space created by Musicman and G&L 30-odd years previously. Who was that bass aimed at, who was the target market? It came across as a half-assed effort at entering the humbucker game, just flung out there in the hope that they could poach some stragglers from leading brands in that market. It seems like everything they "innovate" has already been done better elsewhere. How is it possible they don't lead the Jazz-on-steroids market? How have they never managed to develop (or even buy or licence) a class-leading pre-amp and mate it with their instruments? Having that big F on the headstock is not enough to just plop something onto the market and not think strategically through design, production and marketing thoroughly before making the half-assed effort which has become their trademark, sadly. They got lazy on the legacy of that name. I'd be of the opinion that everything they offer is made better (and usually cheaper) by someone else. Then people say "Oh nobody wants Fender to do anything different" when it's more that everything different they do has already been done better elsewhere. But folks love having that big F on the headstock all the same, no matter what. It's always gas seeing home assembled parts builds and custom relic jobs getting that brand-name stuck on them 😂

Hi, These are still for sale ( March 2025 ) I took these tuners off my 2016 Spector NT4 and replaced with Gotoh Gold GB707 , hence photo to show Drop In compatibility. Just home use by myself for a few months ( I bought bass new in 2018) before putting the gold set on. So excellent condition and very little use. They’ve cleaned up as well as the other same size set I’m now selling (£45) on here , just no Spector Logo on these. The diagram dimensions are accurate in the photo. I have digital calipers. Just had to change a couple of dimensions on a Wilkinson open gear diagram. £40 includes UK postage. 2L-2R Weight 238g Cheers. Quent -
No worries, GLWTS! -
