  1. Sorry, but I've got someone interested in this and is pending payment.
  2. Just an update on my situation now. I do own a Gibson SG Standard short-scale bass which I am struggling with in terms of tone, and it does suffer some neck-dive. This week I've just purchased a Sire U5 short-scale which is by far the best short-scale bass I have ever played, it balances perfectly, I can get a P bass tone which is what I was seeking, and it also has a J pickup near the bridge, so it's a PJ short-scale bass that ticks all the boxes for me. It has an Alder body with string-thru option, Maple neck with rolled edges and frets, it's lightweight, no neck-dive whatsoever, and the added bonus for me is, I actually like the way it looks.🙂
  3. WENGE Jazz Neck. £50 Posted. I'm finally coming to the end of my big clearout of bass parts, and this neck is the second of two wenge necks I purchased recently for projects. This is still in the box and is unused, and un-drilled. When it arrived it had a small bit of filler which you have to look hard to see, and I'm sure it could be either stained or blended in if it worries you, but it hardly notices unless you know it's there. It's a beautiful neck and a real bargain at this price. The heel is standard Fender dimensions and fits Fender bodies perfectly.
  4. Fender Roasted Maple Jazz Bass Neck + Schaller BM 4L NI Tuners. £195 Posted. Purchased in 2023 and was mounted to the bass, but only used a few times at home to test the bass out. I'm finally coming to the end of my big clearout of bass parts, and this neck is the second of two Fender Roasted Maple replacement necks I purchased for projects that were abandoned before completing them totally. The neck and tuners are in great condition other than there is a slight scratch which I've tried to highlight in one of the photos, I've priced this neck and tuners accordingly to reflect this, because the total cost of all these parts was £375. Fender Roasted Maple Jazz Bass Neck Schaller BM 4L NI Bass Tuners Gotoh String Tree Graph Tech TUSQ Nut & The original Fender Nut are both included.

  5. Having to memorise all the different settings for all the different songs when I'm gigging just frightens the life out of me. I've always just plugged in and used the controls on my bass, and occasionally on my amp. And yes I know, it's probably just me, but when you get older, the less things to worry about, the better I find. 😉
  6. £95 Posted. This arrived on Friday 15th March 2024. I don't know why I bought it because I just don't like using pedals, I'm a Plug n Play man and I like to keep things simple. Obviously, I tried it this morning at home for about 10 minutes, but although it's a great pedal, I just thought to myself that I'm too old for all this sort of thing, so I put it back in the box and decided to cut my losses and sell it. It's not been registered, and is 99% brand new. Full Description Improvements have been made to the Bass Big Muff's Volume, Tone and Sustain controls beginning with a pad on the input control which you can switch between odB and -10dB ensuring the pedal is equally effective with both passive and active pickups. Blend allows you to mix the direct and distorted signals. With three outputs; a 1/4" effect out, a 1/4" direct (buffered dry) out and an XLR DI out you have complete control of your output signal and individual sound. A built in noise gate with adjustable threshold eliminates any unwanted hum. The Bass Big Muff Pi also boasts a foot switchable crossover section with a variable low pass filter on the dry signal and a variable high pass filter on the distorted signal. This gives you the ability to sculpt your own bass sound. This, in conjunction with the Blend, enables you to keep the low end clear and focused with the Low Pass Filter and the high end bright and cutting with the High Pass filter. This new Deluxe Bass Big Muff Pi is housed in a solid die-cast casing and equipped with a 9 volt battery. It can also be powered by an optional standard 9.6 V/DC200mA AC adaptor.
  7. What a great idea.
  8. That's what I was hoping.👍
  9. You would think so, but I haven't found that to be the case. 🤔
  10. I've owned a couple of Fender Mustangs which are pretty close to a Fender P bass sound wise, but the ones I had USA and CIJ both suffered considerable neck-dive which I put down to the standard heavy tuners that you get on most Fender basses. I've now got a Gibson SG short-scale and again, neck-dive is a bit of a problem, and I find the tone very "muddy" compared to my P basses. The other thing I find strange is when I'm playing up the "dusty" end, moving my left arm inwards towards my body just feels so awkward. I'm the wrong side of seventy, I have back and neck problems, plus I have arthritis in my hands, so I do think that changing to short-scale might help.
  11. I have a couple of questions I would like to ask you guys and gals who play, or have played, short-scale basses. I play mainly P basses but I've tried a couple of short-scales in the past and given up after a few weeks because they just don't feel right, they also sound very different, and I also struggle with the neck-dive. So my questions are: 1. How long does it take to adjust to going from long-scale to short-scale? 2. How do you manage the inevitable neck-dive that you usually get with most short-scale basses, would changing the tuners to lightweight tuners make any noticeable difference?
  12. Got ya! It was the bit about the bar magnet that confused me.😉
  13. It's probably me, but I'm a bit confused by this comment.🤔
  14. I've been using them for years and they are just as good as the Fender CS pickups imo.
  15. It is an exact fit for a Fender body because I tried it on two of my Fender P basses.
  16. Wenge Jazz Neck £50 Posted. I purchased this neck along with a number of other parts for a couple of projects that never happened, they were fitted but never used. The neck is really nice and feels great, it was fitted with a triple string retainer which I will include. The heel is an exact fit for Fender P and J basses.
  17. Tonerider TRP1 Precision Plus Bass Pickup £25 Posted I purchased this pickup along with a number of other parts for a couple of projects that never happened, they were fitted but never used.
  18. Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage P Bass Pickup Alnico £35 Posted. I purchased this pickup along with a number of other parts for a couple of projects that never happened, they were fitted but never used.
  19. I don't use pedals live so I've only ever used this at home, it seems to be ok with my bass but like I say, I've not much experience of using pedals. There are a quite a few videos on YouTube that might give some idea as to what it can do.
  20. Fender Rumble 800 Combo & Fender Rumble 2x10 Extension Cab (As New) I need to clear out a lot of my gear, so I've now reduced the price of this rig to sell quickly. £750 which is more or less the price of the just combo alone, but with a matching extension cab thrown in.

  23. Tbh, the clip I uploaded is the best bit, the other 19 minutes of him tuning his guitar is far worse.
  24. In the old days, we probably would have been a successful psychedelic band with this kind of material.🤣
  25. We thought we would add a psychedelic movie to go with the tones that not even Jimi Hendrix could achieve.
