  1. ?... both links work fine for me (site + photos)
  2. Beautiful Kinal MK-5B 5 string, hand built by Canadian luthier Mike Kinal (kinal.com) to the same specs as one receiving an excellent review in Bass Player magazine March/2000 and * as (now) featured / recommended in the current (Jan2018) Bass Guitar Magazine (p.008/see photo) ** ON HOLD
  3. 'Riks' Stratocaster - a decent Fender copy. Black body with white pickguard / rosewood f/board on a nicely figured maple neck. Good condition. Free Courier and a simple gig-bag included. New strings - plays nicely and has a good / low set-up (action). If collected, can include a small 'Riks' amp. I've bought 2 trem arms for this but both are too big. Buyer would need to source a smaller one (probably 4-5mm rather than 5-6mm)
  4. Thanks for the post/assistance. The bass in clip one looks more like a Mayones (Caledonius) bass (?) :- http://mayones.com/basses/caledonius Clip 2 (nice playing!) - could well be a Bossa (hard to see) - but most likely original in terms of p/ups-EQ. There's continued interest in the bass, but if unsold by the time I might find some replacements (dimension/s issue) then I'll probably just choose to sell the TB66's. Thanks for the +comment(s) above (silverfoxnik) - they are great p/ups; but so expensive (@ c. £500) ... don't think there's a UK/EU dealer currently?
  5. Classic Carlsbro B-150 Bass Head. Excellent Condition. All original. Pre-Gain (ppi) Post Gain (clip) Graphic EQ (40-60-100-180-350-660-1k3-2k6-5k-10k-15k) EQ graphic/pre-set; DI pre/post EQ; FX sent/return; Volume. Rear - outputs (2); phones; FX send/return; Line output. UK made. Reduced £95 (incl.)
  6. Not sure what you mean by 1st/2nd photos, but the bass was originally yellow tint (with different p/ups, EQ etc - original Bossa.). The re-luthier'd instrument has a new figured ash top along with the TB66's and VVT. The current finish/colour is most accurately reflected in the OP. Hope that clarifies.
  7. Amazing ... never heard of these (around for 70 years?) - what is/was the 'Carvin' connection? Looks great, and immediately reminiscent of the old Dave Bunker PBC/GTB instruments of the 80's/90's:-
  8. * .. shortly after this, Chris PM'd me re. strings and - after further discussion - bought a set of LaBella Superstep 5's. As above - excellent/prompt communication and a pleasure to speak/deal with throughout. Highly recommended.
  9. Chris (haysy) recently purchased my Cort Jeff Berlin, after asking all the relevant, sensible questions. Great communication, prompt payment and a pleasure to deal with throughout. Highly recommended to all BC'ers !! *
  10. interesting! .. but what's the bass in photo #10 - it's not blue. And photo #11 (neckplate?) ?
  11. Nice bass/concept .... I like the p/up config. as it's similar to my Urge (1) Stu Hamm (although the EQ / controls are radicaly different) :-
  12. weren't the T J S basses of this period fitted with the 'proper' Fender Jazz headstock shape ??? :- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1986-Tokai-Jazz-Sound-Bass-Guitar-Made-in-Japan-/232547161203?
  13. [size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]A Mexican made Fender Urge Bass in very good condition. Very nice metallic blue (“Ocean Turquoise*) paintwork which is virtually unmarked. Medium 32 inch scale with a nice dark slab rosewood board. 2 x Jazz pickups, active electronics with dual concentric controls for volume, treble, bass and blend. designed and endorsed by bassist Stu Hamm:-[/font][/size] [size=5][font=Arial, sans-serif]Background: The original [b]Fender Urge Bass[/b] was designed in conjunction with John Page and was the first Artist Signature bass offered by Fender, and featured a sleekly downsized alder body; two Custom Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups; a Custom Precision Bass pickup; dual-band EQ; 18v power supply (only on Urge II) and a Lace Sensor on first Urge; a panning Jazz pickup selector control; asymmetrical oval neck profile and a neck with a sculpted heel; string-through gold-plated bridge; two stacked black control knobs; black Gotoh tuners, and a medium-scale, 32" graphite-reinforced maple neck featuring a 2-octave rosewood fingerboard with 24 medium-jumbo frets. This bass also had a rotary switch offering four modes: standby (off), active mid-boost, active no-boost, and passive (urge). The pearloid pickguard was of a unique shape with a smaller footprint than many other Fender basses. Colours offered were Lake Placid Blue, Montego Black, Sherwood Green Metallic, and Burgundy Mist. The original Urge was first introduced in 1993 and was discontinued in 1999. [/font][/size] [size=5][font=Arial, sans-serif]There was also a short-lived [b]Urge Standard[/b] which was made in Mexico between 1993 and 1999, featuring a medium-scale 32" neck, two standard Jazz Bass pickups, a poplar body, and active circuitry with dual concentric volume and tone for each pickup. As of 2008, the Urge II came with a Hipshot Drop D-tuner and three new finishes including Ocean Turquoise* [/font][/size] [size=5][font=Arial, sans-serif]Incl. Courier (UK only) c/w small(er)/fitted gig-bag[/font][/size]

  20. [quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1507532606' post='3386020'] What is the nut dimension and the string spacing? [/quote]according to my (old/original) specs the bass weighs 4.5lbs, has a 28" scale* (25?..22.5?), 1.5" nut, 10/19mm (nut/bridge) string spacing (although the ETS-'Marleaux' bridge spacing is adjustable). From the Marleaux site the dimensions are slightly different:- Scale: 570 mm / 22.44" Nut: 40 mm / 1.57" 12. fret: 50 mm / 1.97" 24. fret: 55 mm / 2.17" Bridge: 54 mm (2.13") / 18 mm (0.71") each string * not sure how I could have this so wrong (?) .. unless it's the overall length of the bass (?) - added a photo to demo size :-
  21. [quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1507458021' post='3385511'] Very nice! What's the tuning? I'm guessing ADGC? [/quote] No, it's EADG (+8ve)
  22. [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1506351756' post='3378125'] Does it have a headstock? There doesn't appear to be any pictures that show the nut end. [/quote] check my link to the Luthier site - headstock appears to be common to all models.
  23. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1506435874' post='3378713'] is it any good for metal ? have a free bump for something unusual [/quote] :- [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcGHznR64NM"]https://www.youtube....h?v=AcGHznR64NM[/url] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEpVDafY6Z8
