Fender '75 Precision Bass Cool Mocha precision from the '70s. The pickups are dated to 1975, the pots are dated 1974. It's a well playing and good sounding P bass. The neck is straight and adjustable, and allows low action. It's a pretty light instrument too, just a bit below 4kg! with covers unmounted. The neck is pretty small at the nut for a precision at 39/40mm As you can see, the bass has a lot of small damages and honest playwear. The tuners and pots have been replaced, but the original 1974 pots are included in the sale. The chrome covers and thumb rest are not original to this bass. Asking €2700 Ideally I'd offer this bass in a partial trade for a player grade <65 Fender Jazz with Brazil fretboard, max 4kg, and a refinish (as it keeps te value a lot lower). I've got more stuff to add in a trade! Otherwise I'd might be interested in (partial) trades for; old Music Man Sabre with rosewood fretboard, Modulus Flea in fancy finish. And maybe a nice vintage Mustang Bass. The bass is located in the Netherlands. Local pickup is preferred, but I am also happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Payment wise I accept cash on collection or PayPal friends.11 points -

NCD (New Cables Day): yesterday I re-made the cable snake for my effects board. Two lengths of Van Damme cable, four 90º Neutrik plugs, a 9Vdc power supply wire, and black & silver braided sleeve. Oh, and colour coded heatshrink for Send and Return. The foldback clip is there to clip onto the back of the amp, thus relieving any pull on the cables plugged in at that end. OK so it’s not glamorous and more than a bit nerdy, but it’s neat & tidy and works very nicely. Must say I really enjoyed putting it all together – there’s something very soothing and satisfying about tinkering around with wire & solder. I must get another pedal build on the go, get some more quality soldering time in!5 points

Man you guys are nuts, I boost the mids on my 3 band Stingray if anything. It's fretless though, so that might be part of it:5 points

Four years after a bicycle accident still having trouble with the fingers of my right hand..two of them are curled which makes it hard to reach for the G and D string and I can't bend my thumb because of a constant frozen shoulder but things could also be worse. This is a hard one for me because of that and I'm missing a couple of notes but I'm glad I can manage this more or less..5 points

After some delays, and stuff getting in the way, it would seem that I have taken something functional but ugly, and repurposed it into something weird and functionless. An improvement? Who am I to judge? Anyway - next, a little bit of fret dressing, then slapping on some Danish Oil. Wonder if I can get the cloth to spontaneously combust this time?4 points

Putting a feeler out on this bass.… it started life as a schecter cv5 ..which was still a great bass with a massive array of tones ..this still has the neck and electronics as the original but now with a alder slab body ..it has a hipshot kickass bridge and schaller tuners ..it’s painted in nitros so it going to relic quite quickly and it’s fitted with dr black beauties ..weight is 4.7kg and is 35” scale This is the spec for the neck and electronics.

Hi! I'm currently using a P bass I made up with parts: the body is laquer finished alder by an Italian luthier I scored used, the neck is the Fender replacement part 51 tele neck I got new on discount, the pickup is a Re'62 I had since 2011 I think it plays and sound great for the expense!4 points

Righto. did this as a joint thread. Got nowhere. I have a stingray 5 surplus. this plus a musicman case £1300 plus shipping honest wear for 22 years. Sounds ace, plays ace.3 points -
In very good condition, owned from new (2020) and never left the house. Plays lovely and currently sporting flatwounds. Comes with the Fender padded gig bag Pickup only in NW London and you are more than welcome to try the bass out. Reluctant sale really, my wrists just don't get on with P basses so making the switch to the dark side (short scale). Would be game for a trade for the JMJ Mustang Bass Any questions please do give me a shout. Open to sensible offers of course.3 points -

The power isn't strictly daisy-chained, although they are paralleled... the 9v feed plugs into the box with the rude word on it, which contains a distribution arrangement (posh name for connector blocks ) for the five separate pedal feeds. The green LED is just a tell tale, so if there's a pedal problem I can see if the 9v feed from the rack is still functioning. It's a bog-simple arrangement and I suppose in an ideal world the separate feeds would be isolated, but it seems to work ok.3 points

I've been asked a couple of times whether this would fit a standard shaped Fender neck. When I had it built, it was confirmed that the neck pocket would fit a standard Fender shaped neck without modification and when I put a Fender Japan Jazz neck on it, it did indeed fit like a glove.3 points -

The one 3-band EQ I ever had, the bass and the mids were like a see-saw: whichever was up, the other had to go down. With both up, it was just a mush.3 points

After what felt like the longest 3 weeks of my life, my BTB605MS arrived on Monday. It's my first multi scale and a bit of a departure from what I usually look for in a bass but my god it's good. The electronics package is amazing, passive mode is identical to preamp flat. My favourite setting so far is low mids slightly boosted and bridge pickup slightly favoured. The overall tone is super clear and punchy. It's super resonant unplugged too. Multi scale feels really intuitive, it took next to no getting used to. The 35-37 scale is big, scales around the 3rd fret D are quite a stretch but I'm sure I'll adapt, also it makes the B string enormous.3 points

Asking $1900 is one thing, getting it is another! I've just decided that my Aria faker is for sale at £2500, it doesn't make it worth that... and it will never sell. 🙂3 points

A little detail finished - an aluminium thumb nail cover opener thing. This is what will be the back of the second bass. It needs to be flattened before I do anything with it as it has cupped slightly since I bought it a year or two back. Should look alright though!! In the meantime, other bits of wood have been turning up so they can stand for a good while before I work on them. Nice slab of ash which will become a Telecaster shape (might be a bass, might be a guitar - no, no, no you say...)3 points

Sushi Box FX SBVT. Twin 12AX7 tube preamp pedal handmade in the US to channel the SVT. It sounds 3D, open and huge and, as expected of Sushi Box, is very well made. I used it to give heft to my signal when not playing through an amp (just a desktop DI), and it worked fantastically. It just feels different when putting the signal through tubes. £240 posted in the UK via Royal Mail Special Delivery. I can provide demos on request as I’m aware they’re relatively rare, and I’m happy to answer any questions.2 points -
For sale is a custom P Bass body I had made by Guitar And Bass Builds based in Oxford. It's loaded with a set of EMG Jazz pickups, the EMG loom (with battery) and a Fender Hi Mass Bridge. The total cost was just shy of £600. The body is P Bass shaped and is two piece 5* graded swamp ash. It's been professionally finished in a clear gloss lacquer. The routing for the jazz pickups was done from the rear so there is no need for a pickguard. Condition is excellent with one or two very small marks that have been impossible to photograph. The EMG jazz pickups and loom were bought brand new for this project as was the bridge. I'm looking for £370 delivered. If it doesn't sell I'll source a P Bass neck and keep it for myself.2 points

Made in Japan, 2014. One of the nicest necks, fast and slim with vintage radius fret board in a lovely dark rosewood. The body is carved and the bass is well weighted, very light and comfortable. These models were made for the Japanese market and so are fairly rare, this one is antique white in colour. The are a few minor dings and blemishes, nothing major or very noticeable and only what you might expect from a well used, but looked after 8 year old instrument.2 points -

My setp-dad built 'Beavis' back in 1996 as part of an electronics course he was doing at the time and a couple of years before I picked up playing. Heavily rebuilt from a burned out Linear L50 chassis with the transformers and chassis being the only retained items, it essentially became a hot-rodded 50w Marshall using 3x ECC83 and a pair of EL34. I've had it modified a few times over the years including the addition of a master volume plus a change of output valves - it's had 6550s and KT88s although now, it has JJ KT77s and apparently makes about 60w. Beavis is very musical and I have gigged it on many an occasion with it offering (just about!) enough power / volume for my needs before heading into 'Lemmy' territory. To be fair, in terms of power, it doesn't really feel like it was much less clout than my Fender 135. It became my first bass amp as my step-dad never really got on with it - he was a Fender / clean guitar player and Beavis didn't really do the 'chimey' thing particularly well although, looking back, it was probably the speakers he used it with more than anything. I made use of it with a pair of Goodmans Audiom loaded WEM 1x15" for bass duties although these days, it's paired with a JBL K140 loaded Ashton 1x15"..2 points

Yep - he's a great guy and a stellar player. I took out a subscription on hearing the news- I think every little bit helps. And I now have access to all of his hundred-odd albums of improvised bass music! Whether solo improvised bass is something you might normally listen to or not, it's hard to hear a Steve piece and not just go "wow".2 points

If you've lost the confidence of more than half of your band, and several have quit rather than have to play with you again, should you cling onto your role as front man on the basis of your conviction that you are the greatest performer since Elvis, or give up and leave the band gracefully?

Only one choice, got to be mick Karn the guy was not only a fabulous fretless player but he was a showman too (that stage shuffle in the second clip) I hate to call people genius but that dude could play a bass line to a track that you’d not think of in your lifetime 😄2 points

So a bit of an update but after stalking all the places that sell basses for the last 6 months, this little beauty turned up for sale and not only was it local to me, it was also a fellow Basschatter 😃 Just picked it up and its gorgeous and the exact bass I was after. So thank you @JamesTun for a gorgeous bass and great to meet you and chat bass. I think we could of carried on chatting for a few more hours 😆 With the whole family as well,2 points

Really very happy so far with this 4003s in walnut after picking it up yesterday evening. I'll have to make a decision regarding the pick up cover - I quite like the way it looks but it seems to be just where my hand wants to be for both picking and fingers. There seems to be a significant discrepancy in volume between the two pick ups when at full whack but they are at wildly different heights. The fretboard is in dire need of a good clean. I don't think I've owned a guitar with a maple fretboard since a Squire Telecaster I had as a teenager - is there anything I need to be wary of? Next gig is in six days - hoping to put it through its paces then 😀2 points

Not necessarily. For one thing you'd need at least two premium fifteens to handle even 800w. Passive crossovers can handle that. The crossover wouldn't likely be below 800Hz, so the size and price of the components wouldn't be a problem. The amount of power loss with a well designed crossover is insignificant. Bi-amping and tri-amping make sense with large PA systems, but where electric bass cabs are concerned it's an unnecessary level of complexity. That was probably because they didn't sell well. My preference is for a 2 way, albeit crossing over to the HF element at 2kHz. The typical 2 way bass cab crosses over at 4kHz, resulting in poor off-axis response in the 2kHz to 4kHz octave. There's also no reason for having response above 8kHz. Even slap and pop doesn't go higher than that.2 points
