  1. I've just bought & sold a Badass V bridge as i didn't realise the string spacing on the MIM V Jazz was 18mm compared to the MIA Jazz V which is 19mm. The Badass was designed for the MIA one & the saddles were too far apart for my bass. I'd be interested to know if anyone has successfully put a high mass bridge onto a MIM Jazz V & if so, the make & brand etc. Thanks in advance. Wilco.
  2. I've only just bought this via Ebay & gutted to be selling it already. I bought it to fit my MIM jazz, but did not realise that the string spacing on the MIM Jazz V differs from the MIA version, so the saddles are too wide apart for my bass. Really is a nice & solid piece though. I'm selling it for what i paid for it despite the hours I've spent lovingly cleaning it up!! £55 in postage

  4. I've had this from new - i think it cost me around £50. In excellent condition, works very well. Will not post this due to it's awkward shape, so looking for collection or a meet up not to far away from Swindon. £25 buys it. Cheers, Wilco
  5. [quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1329229163' post='1539134'] Well my GAS is going very well so far this year. I have the EBS Reidmar which sounds amazing. I have the EBS Classic 112 which also sounds amazing. However, I now have GAS for the following, A Fender Japan Jazz 66B in white with matching headstock, blocks and binding. Yummy. [/quote] I came into this year in a totally GAS free state (curry's aside....) & then you go & post this pic of gratuitous gear porn. Oh man.........
  6. Being a Geddy Lee & Chris Squire fan, very pleased how the punchy trebly bass sound turned out - particlularly on the drop D intro to Slither. [url="http://www.audio-asylum.net/audio.html"]http://www.audio-asylum.net/audio.html[/url] Best played loud with the bass control turned up..........
  7. [quote name='Mitchallica' timestamp='1327965883' post='1519792'] @ Muttley and Wilco Guess What Guys! I do get sound but im not sure if both pickups work! Two switches broken :0( No. 4061574 Made In Japan [attachment=98729:IMAG0105.jpg][attachment=98730:IMAG0108.jpg] [/quote] Just seen this! My bass was in worse condition than that when i first got it - well worth putting the effort in to get it back to its former glory. I'm now gigging with mine & couldn't be happier with it!!
  8. I bought this from new & Scott brought this from me last year. Great bass - possibly one of the most comfortable basses i've played, great tones & as Scott says a very hot on board pre-amp. I bought this from a shop that had two S5's custom finished in this colour - something to do with the opening of new premises apparently (wasn't local to me). Anyways, more than acceptable selling price for a great instrument & Scott's a top bloke so buy with confidence!

  10. Not current range as noted above, however noticed PMT are shifting these at a clearance price of £469 each! [url="http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/index.php/deals/clearance.html?p=2"]http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/index.php/deals/clearance.html?p=2[/url] (near the bottom) I'm looking for a quick sale, so i'll dangle tempatation in your way & price drop to £550!!
  11. Pro level effects pedal for sale. Overview of the range construction here (which also has a link to this pedal):- [url="http://guyatone.com/MightyMicroEffects.php"]http://guyatone.com/...icroEffects.php[/url] Here's a review I stumbled across on the internet:- [url="http://www.musicgearreview.com/reviews.php?man=Guyatone&cat=Guitar_Effects&mod=MCm5%20Micro%20Chorus"]http://www.musicgear...0Micro%20Chorus[/url] ..and here's a page confirming the new UK price:- [url="http://www.hotroxuk.com/effects-pedals-ehx-pigtronix-fulltone-xotic-zvex-338-0/guyatone-links-11467-0/guyatone-mighty-micro-guitar-effects-svm5-slow-volume-wah-rocker-11443-0/mighty-micro-mcm5-micro-chorus.html"]http://www.hotroxuk....cro-chorus.html[/url] I've no idea if this is common to the range or just this pedal, but there is a slight audible clicking only when the pedal is in bypass mode, plugged into the main amp input & through a passive instrument. Through an effects loop or used in conjuction with an active instrument, this does not occur at all & it disappears once the pedal is engaged anyway. I've had this for nearly a year now & I use a loop this has never been an issue for me. When on though, the chorus sounds produced are top drawer. Cosmetically the pedal for sale is not far off new condition, with the only ding being a small scratch on one corner. Pictures:- [url="http://s952.photobucket.com/albums/ae8/paulwilcock/MCm5/"]http://s952.photobuc...ulwilcock/MCm5/[/url] Comes in original box & with instructions. To be clear though, best used with an active bass or within an effects loop. Less than half new price for a quick sale. Will trade for an EHX Neo Clone as that is what I want to replace this with to make my pedalboard easier to set up!! £65 posted

  13. Yes that would work if all the effects were plugged into the main amp input. Only my distortion is plugged in that way whilst all my other pedals go through the effects loop. I read that is the tried & tested preferable set up, & my effects do actually sound better that way TBH. Also, that is sending an unbalanced signal to the PA not a cleaner balanced one.
  14. Indeed you can & I have. (additional mic stand being something else you can trip over on a tight stage!) I think the point is that these days a pre/post switch for the DI is a pretty standard amp feature, & it wouldn't have taken much to add that to the LH500 (instead of the brite switch?) so that you've got all options available. Perhaps there'll be a MK2!!
  15. Yep, that's exactly what they did. After I got my amp, I emailed them & got confirmation straight from the horses mouth. Only weak spot of a great amp.
  16. [quote name='lollington' timestamp='1312922152' post='1334242'] I've just bought a compressor to go with my LH500. The manual says the DI is pre EQ but no mention about the effects send. I'd be interested to know how/who could go about modding the amp to remedy this. Cheers Wilco! [/quote] I've found a really simple way around this now - buy one of these (which I've just done):- [url="http://www.samsontech.com/samson/products/processors/s-class-mini/sdirect/"]http://www.samsontech.com/samson/products/processors/s-class-mini/sdirect/[/url] + another speaker cable & job done. Basically you can set the S-Direct to take an input directly from one of the LH500's outputs. There is a 1/4" jack link/output socket & the balanced XLR out on the S-Direct. Connect one amp channel to the S-Direct input & the link ouput to your speaker cab. The S-Direct has then got your post effects & eq signal, which can then be sent to the PA via it's XLR out. The S-Direct only costs around £30 & funnily enough, I think it's made by the same people who own Hartke! Hope that helps.
  17. I just want to get shot, as this is taking up valuable space. Price drop bump to a bargain £30 accordingly!
  18. Doesn't work too well with offset bodies like on a Jazz (hence my reason for selling), but absolutely fine otherwise. Awkward shape, so i'm not going to post this. I live in Swindon so collection or meet up if you don't live too far away!
  19. Now I like that. However, not liking my lack of cash position even more now..... This will not be on here very long methinks - best of luck with the sale.

    Jazz

    Here's my two:- Lovely Geddy Lee Jazz with the recently fitted Hipshot HB2's. Mexican Jazz V in a glorious blue which my pics don't really do justice to. Nicely grained Pau Ferro fingerboard too which is no longer available on this model. Both great basses which I am very pleased to own.
  21. Thanks for all the posts guys - all useful stuff. The early 80's Aria RSB Deluxe 5 sounds very interesting. A Matsumoku 5 stringer - yes please!! Bet they're as rare as rocking horse s**t though. Will have to start saving my pennies just in case! (Yamaha BB5000 looks cool too)
  22. If I were to buy another 4 string now, it would be either a Westone Thunder 1A or a Peavey T-40. I would also like to buy another 5 string at some stage. Can anyone suggest a comparable 80's 5 stringer to the Westone or Peavey? I took up bass in the 80's but honestly can't remember if 5 stringers like we see these days were about back then. Getting older & memory loss is a wonderful thing...............
  23. [quote name='spongebob' post='1339669' date='Aug 14 2011, 03:17 PM']I've had a 2009 Ged, and now have a 2011, and the standard ones seem fine to me.[/quote] As I mentioned in my post, more recent models have been better (following a price increase...). Certainly with my old tuners, they would stay in tune reasonably well, but you could turn them 360 degrees plus sometimes & it would make no difference to the pitch. The Hipshots tune more easily & stay in tune better. They are way heavier & much more solid than the originals too.
