Has anyone had any dealings with Ebay seller bass_japan_direct? If so what were your experiences?

Looks very similar in scale length/size to my Westfield, which sounds great.

[quote name='five-string.co.uk' timestamp='1484167837' post='3213306'] Positive so far, which is great. I'll start thinking some more about the venue and date. My initial thought is early Autumn, but it's just a thought at the moment. [/quote] In that case please take into consideration that the South East Bass Bash is usually held in late September.

Could well be tempted.

Ideally you need to find someone who has a tube tester who can check them individually. Unfortunately the only guy that I know of who might be able to help is in my part of the world. I doubt that it's the 12AX7s as they go on for years however I seem to remember that a number of problems with the output tubes surfaced not long after the Prodigy was launched. Have you tried reseating them all?

There's always the Bacchus Mini Jazz. [url="https://www.deviser-bacchus.com/products/universe-series-bass/wjb-mini/"]https://www.deviser-bacchus.com/products/universe-series-bass/wjb-mini/[/url] Available from The Guitar Den.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1483995647' post='3211869'] Not teeny tiny but at £40...

I have one and strung with cut-down flats sounds just like a full size Precision. Very rare. Someone please buy it.

and it's not even a real Jazz, it's a PJ.

Some years ago I had them do some routing on a Lakland Duck Dunn. They put in cut-outs for a bridge jazz pick-up, side jack and a rear battery box. Having explained what I wanted done they sent me a quote, I then sent them just the body and it came back perfect a couple of weeks later.

My pair - both short scale

I've been using Sadowsky Flats. They are available 40-125 and 45-130. Made for them by LaBella. Not easily obtainable in the UK but I have bought several sets from this Polish Ebay seller without any problem.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1481830507' post='3195580'] Is it the one we talked about previously? If so, I want to try!!!!! [/quote] As my Grandmother used to say "Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies"

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1481815214' post='3195394'] Do tell us more Dave [/quote] That would be for me to know and you to guess.

Just recently got hooked onto Spector having bought a Shorty. Just pulled the trigger on another, not a Shorty but short scale.

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1481291683' post='3191280'] I am totally interested in pics! [/quote] See post #6.

[quote name='Freddy Le Cragg' timestamp='1481360886' post='3191700'] Hey ho. Do you still have this? [/quote] Yes I still have two of them. If you want one then please PM me.

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1481311045' post='3191478'] Thanks for that, as a side note I also learned what OBBM stands for [/quote] Drat. My secret is out.

Good luck Owen, sounds like a worthwhile project. I have done something similar which I took to the SE Bash in September. My regular but occasional gig means that I can sit down so my idea was an active drum throne with the option of in-ear monitors. Firstly I picked up a used drum throne and then a butt-kicker from Thomann. I wanted to keep the electronics as compact as possible so looked for half-rack width units. I bought a 4U half width rack which is fitted with the following: 4-channel stereo mixer with channel direct outs - this takes the bass DI plus PA monitor or maybe just a mic on the kick drum In-ear transmitter which can also be used as a headphone driver for wired in-ears Sub-woofer filter to stop anything above about 200Hz going to the butt kicker Extron XPA1002 2-channel power amp - one channel for the butt kicker, one channel spare. I'm sure that Bluejay took a photo at the Bash but I'll take some pix later and add them if anyone is interested The signal path was a tad more complicated

I joined bassworld back in 2002 when there were less than 100 members. I've seen it morph through various incarnations. If you search though web archives there is a snapshot of what bassworld was like.

Here's my recently acquired Spector Shorty and my Westfield 24-inch scale Precision with a larger cousin.
