Partial trade for a Schroeder 1212L (4ohm) perhaps? -
You've got a point there

[quote name='Moos3h' post='848693' date='May 26 2010, 05:10 PM']If you can dredge my original FS thread, you're welcome to reuse the pics.... Cheers, James[/quote] Thanks James - here is the thread in question, more pics of the bass lie within! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=64236&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=64236&hl=[/url] I would also consider trading for or towards a loud, deep sounding lightweight cab of some sort. I have a Schroeder 1212L which does light and loud, but due to the small size doesn't really do deep. -
That guitar isn't something you see every day!

That actually works really well. I didn't like the explorer shape with the Spector headstock but that looks more trad. I'm rapidly becoming a Spector convert!

[quote name='Bilbo' post='849201' date='May 27 2010, 09:56 AM']I do agree with Jake in principle but I just wanted to flag up the furstration I feel at [b]the amount of time I have to spend working with non-readers who spend so much time flapping about trying to learn/remember/explain pieces to each other.[/b] I reitterate a point I made here before. Writing and reading dots helps you get to the good bit (the playing of the thing) more quickly and, in a wholistic sense, helps you get to play more sophistiicated and complex musics more easily. I guess, as I get older and have less time to rehearse, its a great way of saving time. And, as Iain Ballamy once said to me, 'it takes you places you might otherwise not have gone musically'.[/quote] This is probably the main reason a lot of people never bother learning to read properly (myself included). It's like learning to speak Latin in order to hold a conversation with your friends - a bit pointless unless they all do the same. If I moved in circles where there were a lot of other readers my outlook would most likely be very different. As always, it's horses for courses.

Massive + 1 to that!

[quote name='vmaxblues' post='848546' date='May 26 2010, 02:56 PM']For those that don't know, Wil is a top bloke to deal with. BTW nice stick bass, must get one sometime...[/quote] Cheers Stu! Yeah, that Hohner was fun little thing. Another victim of my current "one bass per Wil" policy

Bump.
-
Changles bought my mighty mite fretless neck - excellent comms, fast payment. Many thanks!
-
Count Bassy bought my John East preamp - fast payment and excellent comms, would deal with again!
-
I bought WHUFC's Spector - excellent comms, well packed, and a great bass. Would deal with again
-
Will bought my dimarzio pup - good comms and fast payment, would deal with again.

I've just recieved a new bass and as such this needs to go - I have a new (ish) policy of one in, one out. It's an Ibanez ATK in natural, which I bought off Moo3h last year. Lovely sounding bass, it does a good stingray impression and a few more sounds besides thanks to the split coil pickup. I'm looking for £210 + postage (collection from around Bristol would be great, mind, anything to avoid posting a bass!) Here it is (on the right) in grainy phone camera form: And here's a better quality picture, unfortunately with me attached to it:

This is why I don't leave anything at RS. I trust Rich and Steve, but I don't trust most of the f***wits in bands who use the rooms. -
I play in a ska band and I tend to steer towards more "rolling" grooves (Sublime sort of stuff) as opposed to the walking Rancid style basslines. It's all down to preference really, if you like the bouncier stuff I'd recommend you give Keasby Nights by Streetlight Manifesto a listen, the basslines are really melodic and fun.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='846193' date='May 24 2010, 01:20 AM']Is indeed. Had a go with it?[/quote] Nope, you'll be pleased to know I asked Rich if it belonged to anyone or to RS and he said "it's not ours, so you can't use it". I bloody wanted to though

Status necks are practically a work of art. Love the feel of them, but prefer the sound of wood myself. Would like to try a graphite neck with a wooden fingerboard, though.

Preamp now sold pending the usual -
I'm afraid this one is on it's way to me too! -
Soapbar still going - just to clarify it is an Aaron Armstrong custom wound humbucker, using alnico magnets, dimensions 100 mm x 40 mm x 19 mm, suitable for 4 strings. It has 4 tags and can be wired series/parrallel, but I unfortunately no longer have the wiring diagram. Or a clue

Neck is now sold pending the usual.

Warmoth parts are great. I've got a guitar I built from them, and even with my lack of skill it came together a treat!
-
I should add, the John East preamp is currently wired up with a 4 way pickup selector switch (wiring is there to connect up 2 pickups as it is), an active/passive switch, and a volume knob. The big 4 way rotary knob could be cut out of the equation for a single pickup bass. Not 100% sure how it would be wired for a Jazz, but I'm sure it would be fairly straightforward. You'll need a 9v battery connector too, cheap enough from maplin (it was wired straight to the battery box in my bass so had to cut the wires to remove it).

Here's a few pics, sorry about the poor quality:
