    I wouldn't like the neck of this one, but thanks for the pic of the bridge - it looks as if it might be the answer to my question about my Kramer The Duke [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/285265-bridge-for-kramer-the-duke/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/285265-bridge-for-kramer-the-duke/page__fromsearch__1[/url].

    I've got a Standard, which I will never sell, and a 3002, which I will definitely sell. I'd like another Standard; if I was closer to Solihull I'd have had that one. The Standard sounds goood. The 3002 is a P-J bass. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not interesting enough to keep and the neck is too wide for me. (42mm nut IIRC, treetrunk neck.) IIRC someone posted pics of Billy Sheehan with a 3002 backstage a few years ago.

    Wow. Far outside my price range, or my skill, sadly. How does the volume setting work? Is there a control inside the electronics cavity?

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1463922928' post='3054970'] You can see that the seller has a sense of humour - of course, that price is a joke... [/quote] That's the only evidence of humour I can see in it.

    The string spacing is rather wide on the four-string neck, by the look of it. Also, apparently he made [u][i]fifteen[/i][/u] of these. Somebody's got more warehouse space than is good for them.

    Ibanez SR300, strung BEAD. £100 plus carriage to the UK. SR300 in Pearl White (I think that's what the colour is called). It's strung BEAD; if you want to string it EADG it will need a new nut. The strings are roundwound, not sure of the brand. Bought when I thought I'd never be able to play fives but still wanted that low B; selling because I don't need the low B enough to actually play it. Shame, really. Apart from that, it's an SR300; nice little active bass, above entry level. I've never gigged it, but that's only because the project I wanted it for folded. Light, skinny fast neck, comfortable. The truss rod turns sweetly. There is a scar, on the back of the neck behind the 11th fret; I've never noticed it as a problem. There is also a small flaw in the finish between the pups. Apart from that, I can't find anything wrong with it. It will come with a generic gig bag.

    Where are you? Also, your sale will go better with pictures. Personally, I put them on Photobucket and link to them.

    "May not post to the United Kingdom"... ... what a relief.

    Good for you and MAH. I'll certainly keep my eyes open for gigs round here.

    Not my style, but nice to watch and great respect for the skill of the players. I did like the scat singing. Thanks for posting

    I should have thought of that... I have an Alien which I haven't had out of its case for at least two years. D'oh... I'll report back.

    [quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1463726097' post='3053595'] Nah, you dot want that stuff. The gel works so much better. [/quote] Also less hazardous when spilled.

    I'm guessing the J necks would fit the P bodies, and vice versa...

    Nice Any chance of a sound recording? Only problem is, I'm pretty sure it's going to be out of my price range... (asssuming you're still going to sell it, that is). Piezo [u]and[/u] humbucker 42mm nut Is the neck bolt-on?
  15. alyctes
    How many "frets" would the neck need? I have something which may suit it.
  16. alyctes
    That is definitely peculiar.

    I have a Kramer The Duke headless. The bridge is a Fender-style BBOT. Can anyone tell me whether this design is original? I ask because the E and G strings do not sit over the pup poles, and therefore I suspect that this bridge is a replacement and that the original bridge had a narrower spacing. Any info gratefully received! Thanks for reading

    [quote name='philw' timestamp='1463465474' post='3051467'] Ta. After Colin's time in the HIllage band then. I guess he'd joined Camel (still a member, touring Japan soon) by then. P [/quote] I think so. He was gone from Hillage's band by the time I saw them (Sheffield, 1979 or '80), I am sure.

    Since this is the basis of the Brexit campaign, I consider this thread to be too political to contribute to.
  23. alyctes
    [quote name='philw' timestamp='1463409077' post='3051093'] Was Colin Bass on that Hillage tour? He's a mate and might be interested in the programme. P [/quote] No, he wasn't. The musicians were Hillage, Miquette Giraudy, Dave Stewart, Paul Francis, Andy Anderson. Support was Trevor Rabin plus his band.

    The headstock is carefully constructed so that you can slice hard-boiled eggs with it. Also, I am suspicious of its ergonomics - I think that top horn may produce neck dive.
  25. alyctes
    I'd leave any band that appeared in.
