[quote name='umph' post='108349' date='Dec 22 2007, 10:44 PM']ahh well pics / model etc would be useful is it a sheffield BW? what wattage is it?[/quote]

Its the black and red Peavey black widow magnet, basket is marked 4 ohm, its in the loft, no idea how to tell the watts.

I'm open to offers and suggestions as to fair price.

Buy my 4 ohm black widow from me. Its a new basket I bought to go with a magnet from a bust one I was given.

If its the one in Bristol thats been posted here, it has a big nick in the back of the neck right where its annoying, and I don't think the scratchplate is an original, its 1 ply and has holes in the don't correspond to the ones in the bass if it wasn't for those I'd have offered the guy £250 for it having played it.This was an E one.

And whereabouts are you?

Good deal for that money? Hate buying ebay basses without trying. Will someone be interested if I go and get it and not like it?

Put one of those anti static sheets for tumble driers in the control cavity (seriously, try it).

I'm really hoping he recieved the payment I sent him for the pedal.

[quote name='mcgraham' post='105715' date='Dec 18 2007, 08:09 AM']I don't know if that is the case. They have knurled saddles, i.e. each saddle has the threads that a screw typically has instead of a single groove for the string, allows for a variety of string spacings.

If its a screw thread, its still a single groove, just a very long one [/pedant].

8 including sucky ones, but not including piles of parts.

271

I totally have no idea where they go [looks around room full of cack secondhand basses]. I have a suspicion that Steve in Electric Ladyland may have some idea.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='99925' date='Dec 5 2007, 11:57 PM']Not the cheapest, but certainly the cheapest pearl blocks/rosewood board Jazz I've ever seen - particularly if you sniped it at its start price:

Anyone tried one of these? Just made an offer on one and got a counter offer. Tempted as I was after a jazz body and the blocked neck looks cool, don't want to find its made of pine or something.

Whats the flying V in the background? Know someone after a flying V shaped bass.

Bumping this, I went to see it, I liked, but I really don't have space for the cabs. Plenty of variety of sounds and lots of interesting options and potential on the head. Good range out of the cabs due to the tweeter.

Probably not what you are after but [url="http://www.wishbass.com/"]http://www.wishbass.com/[/url]

I love my Wishbass, I'll probably bring it to the meet up in Bristol.

Would seriously consider [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bass-Fretless-Five-String-Curly-Funky-Maple-Wishbass_W0QQitemZ130183339789QQihZ003QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem"]this[/url] if it wasn't a 5 string.

These are good, I have one, I paid the same for it and consider it a bargain.

[quote name='stevebasshead' post='102773' date='Dec 11 2007, 04:36 PM']Not unless a previous owner has rewired it

The Ric-o-Sound socket is wired at the factory with the bridge pickup going to the tip and the neck pickup going to the ring on a stereo 6.3mm plug.



Interesting, do you run mono cables in both sockets? I'm thinking that if you do then only the bridge pickup will be coming out of the Ric-o-Sound socket. I'm not an electronics expert but I suspect that, when you have the pickup selector switch either in the middle position or bridge-only selected then you'd be sharing the bridge pickup over two outputs - wouldn't that send a weaker signal down both cables? Not sure, anyone know?

Either way, if you're happy with the results - enjoy [/quote]

Mine isn't a Rik, its a P bass with an extra pickup at the neck (like Sheehans wife) and two outputs, I was looking about trying to find out how the Rik trick was done, now I found out it isn't done how I thought it was, can somone figure the electrickery to do that? Otherwise I'll just have to put a switch in to make it switchable to single mono output (stereo seems kinda wrong, dual mono seems more accurate).

Got spare Jazz body? Just decided I'm after one, with a p neck on it ideally.

Prices, pics, post?

[quote name='Buzz' post='101801' date='Dec 9 2007, 05:27 PM']What I want:

A time machine, or at least something that stops time for a period.

What I'll be getting:

Money, chocolate, chocolate money, probably underwear and a few items of clothing.[/quote]

I realised that if I had a time machine that could freeze time for an hour or something, I'd use it for a lie-in almost every morning. Possibly because I am posting pointess crad on internet forums at half twelve instead of sleeping then.

Wow, thats really annoying, I mean really.

OK, I'm pretty curious about what you didn't get one with. Only niggle I have is the lack of top horn means it hangs in such a way my left arm is way out to get to the low end, but everything else is totally happy. Especially the varitone switch, gonna make one for another bass at some point.

[quote name='Davetbass' post='101398' date='Dec 8 2007, 03:56 PM']Could it not also be that you are extremely tight!! If they drove the price up to a whole 10 quid it`s probably still worth it for a decent bridge.[/quote]

I am extremely tight.As soon as I see a dodge looking bid trying to push me up I stop bidding. Also, my policy is put down my max right away, if someone wants to pay more they can have it.

If you look at the dates I put first bid in. The main point being, why bid .99, as even someone bidding a whole number will beat you, hence why people bid x.06 so you can be that 6 pence ahead of a round figure.

I thouth they had cunning jiggery pokey with one lead give both pickups to that, and if you plug in two, it splits them, kinda like actives switch off when you unplug. I run two outputs on my bass, one through fx and one clean, and use the fx in and blend on my juggernaut pedal to combine them.
