Hi Jayv Have you tried changing the batteries? I would try this first if you haven't already. I encountered a similar sound issue with my second hand Fender American Deluxe Precision, changing the batteries sorted it out and was a lot less hassle than shielding the pots.

Just bought Zoom B3 pedal from Ivan. What can I say...Great price, excellent comms, and a completely hassle free transaction. Cheers Mate!

[quote name='sixdegrees' post='1293464' date='Jul 5 2011, 02:48 PM']I have an original Jazz Bass Special in black for sale, if anyone's interested? Passive and all original, apart from the tone and volume knobs (which are black Gibson style). It's had a fair bit of action and the bridge and PUP poles are tarnished. But this doesn't affect the tone. I've had it for just under a year (after being a Duff fan for years and wanting 'that' sound). But now need the funds to go towards a Precision that I want to mod to my own specs. I will warn you that it looks good from far, but far from good... But the back of the neck is in great condition. And the frets are good for their age. I'll post some pics later.[/quote] I might be interested if the condition/price is right! Looking forward to the pics. Jock

[quote name='charic' post='1286560' date='Jun 29 2011, 03:55 PM']That looks rather shoddy at £600 tbh Browse the 2nd hand market here and you'll find much nicer[/quote] Yes I totally agree with you charic. I had to magnify the picture to see it more clearly. krazie_olie- Ive never liked the jbass shape, I dont know why. I suppose we all have different taste and bass shape is no different. The duff McKagan sig bass is actually a reissue of the 80s bass I posted above. Shame about the price and colour. There was a couple of them on ebay this week but their condition was P### poor for the price.

Hi, Just recently returned to playing after a long breakand have been lurking for a wee bit. This is my first post so be gentle. Anyway, I have always loved the look of the Pbass body but back when I was a kid I couldnt afford a fender or any other quality bass. So I ended up with a Marlin Sidewinder that was my pride and joy. This bass doesnt seen to get much love these days but I learned to play and gigged it for around 6 years untill it was damaged in a house flood. I now have some serious GAS and Im in the market for a second bass to keep my Ibanez SR500 company. This is a broad outline of what im looking for: Black telecaster/Pbass style body bolt on neck with matching headstock and dark wood fingerboard P/J pickups (undecided on model/maker) black hardware NO pickguard so needs to be rear routed This bass is the closest Ive come to finding my Ideal bass... [attachment=83687:JAzzSpecfront.jpg] Its for sale at Bass direct for £600 but Im not too sure about the quality of the paintwork and potentially eroded hardware. I am also prepared to source parts to self assemble a bass but after extensive searching I still cannot find a rear routed body that will accommodate P/J pickups. Even a crappy old Marlin sidewinder body would be a start! Your collective wisdom would be appreciated Thanks Jock
