  1. Yep, I saw Muse at Wembley last September and Chris played a few on one of these! Absolutely love these basses. If I find £700 lying around I'll let you know Good luck with the sale!
  2. [quote name='Shawman' post='1201839' date='Apr 16 2011, 02:34 PM']yeah these are made in Germany, and i've had the bass for a while and never actually checked the exact date - i'll look it up and let you know![/quote] Thanks! Really interested.
  3. [quote name='Shawman' post='1201829' date='Apr 16 2011, 02:18 PM']here's the FS thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=131447"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=131447[/url][/quote] Thanks - looks really nice! I'm very much interested These are made in Germany right? How old is it exactly? I'd be pretty much happy if you'd like to trade?
  4. [quote name='Shawman' post='1201701' date='Apr 16 2011, 11:49 AM']warwick $$ five string?[/quote] Sounds very good to me Got any more details?
  5. [quote name='andykelly' post='1200119' date='Apr 14 2011, 11:44 PM']How much ££? What year is it? Thanks [/quote] Sorry I think I misunderstood the ££ question! I bought my bass here: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-deluxe-active-jazz-bass-black/15854"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-deluxe-acti...ass-black/15854[/url] (RRP at just over 850) and then spent around another 100 on the modifications, so anything in that region of price would be cool Thanks!
  6. [quote name='Johngh' post='1201645' date='Apr 16 2011, 10:52 AM']Might be an idea if you put some sort of value on the Jazz so folk know what the ballpark £ figure is in terms of a trade bass.[/quote] Ah okay - yeah this makes sense. My bad. Original post has been amended, cheers
  7. Good ol' Friday afternoon bump
  8. +1 on the Squier Classic Vibes Check this out: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6Cd98DH__U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6Cd98DH__U[/url] Ed Friedland does a comparison with the Squiers and their respective Fenders
  9. [quote name='tonyf' post='1200312' date='Apr 15 2011, 09:39 AM']Those look flipping marvellous! Love the Justice (although not too sure on the lipstick tube pickups) and the Mercalli 5-FM looks fabulous. The DubKing reminds me of Feeder's Taka Hirose's basses. Only without the gold sparkle! There's an 'international' dealers page on the site, link below. [url="http://www.reverendguitars.com/reverend/dealers.html#international"]http://www.reverendguitars.com/reverend/de...l#international[/url][/quote] Yeah they all look pretty ace! I wonder where they got the idea for the name 'Decision' from? Never noticed that international dealers link - that bloke in Oxfordshire might be getting a call soon Cheers!
  10. I've got a friend who's still looking to sell his BB415 on here? Black in pretty much as new condition. I think he's only after 200? Brilliant bass [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=129217"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=129217[/url]
  11. I've had the chance to play on a few of the Reverend guitars before and the quality/sound/playability is amazing. And for the pricetag they're practically a steal. Anyway, I got rather excited a couple of months ago when Reverend brought a new line of basses at the start of '11. The Mercalli 5 FM looks ace! I've since been trying to find a UK dealer but I can't find one anywhere! You can usually pick up a few of their guitars here and there but I guess the basses haven't been out long enough? Just wondered if anyone knows of a place to pick one up, or perhaps has tried one?

  12. [quote name='andykelly' post='1200119' date='Apr 14 2011, 11:44 PM']How much ££? What year is it? Thanks [/quote] Hey Andy, I'm not sure exactly what date it is but I know it was built somewhere in the 00s. I think some of the Fender documentation I got with it was dated 2006 but I'm not sure. I bought it brand new in 2009 anyway. If there's an easy of finding out I'll gladly oblige! Hope this helps In terms of ££ I'm only really looking for a trade with a 5-string - I'm after the low B otherwise I'd be keeping the Jazz! Thanks!
  13. Because this bass is cool. U M P
  14. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1199808' date='Apr 14 2011, 07:29 PM']Yeah some cash your way would have had to happen, it was a long shot. Good luck fella.[/quote] Cheers
  15. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1199736' date='Apr 14 2011, 06:39 PM']Long shot but... ?[/quote] Sorry Wayne, that Hudson sure looks pretty but I've never tried one of those before or have any idea what they might sound/play like, and the prices I can find for them are a little lower than what I've spent on my Jazz! But thanks a lot anyway! It sure looks pretty nice
  16. [quote name='Gust0o' post='1199712' date='Apr 14 2011, 06:18 PM']Haha, I have... but it was a wedding present from the wife. You know - the one you genuinely can never let go of! There were some a few DJ4s on here lately, must be a half-dozen pages back by now. Might be worth dropping some of the guys a PM to see if there's some interest?[/quote] Ah well that's fair enough then! Pretty cool for a wedding present Yeah I tried out for a couple of those DJ4s, but I think they all ended up with either cash or something not so Jazzy Thanks anyway! p.s. I also seem to have accidently deleted my previous post instead of editing it - sorry! Not very on the ball today it seems! :S

    Jazz

    Here's mine! Deluxe Active with a Badass II and Dunlop strap-locks Looking for trade here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=131881"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=131881[/url]
  18. I just figured out how to post images so this'll save you a trip to Photobucket! Cheers!
  19. For trade: one beauty of a Fender Deluxe Active Jazz IV - in black with red tort. pickguard, noiseless p'ups and added Badass II bridge/Dunlop strap-locks (I'll throw in the leather Fender strap too) Used cond. due to a couple of really really small knocks here and there and some buckle marks from my old rock-band days but it's really nothing much and certainly nothing that'd be noticed on stage. The Badass was fitted and custom grooved by professional luthier Mr. Lucas at [url="http://www.lucasguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.lucasguitars.co.uk/[/url] - he also set it up to play rather nicely too. The controls go: master volume, pick-up pan, bass (+/- 18db), treble (+/-18db) and mid-range (+/- 12db) The controls combined with Fender's noiseless p'ups (and they really are noiseless!) really make for a wide variety of great tones. Comes with a decent gigbag OR just keep your case of course if you deem it better. I love this bass, BUT I'd really like a 5-string, so I just thought I'd put it out there and see if I get any offers I bought this bass from: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-deluxe-active-jazz-bass-black/15854"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-deluxe-acti...ass-black/15854[/url] (RRP at just over 850) and have spent around another 100 getting the bridge put on etc. This is the first 'proper' bass I bought and it's my pride and joy, so I'm not really sure how much I want to let it go, but hopefully someone has a nice 5-string to convince me Pictures are HERE: [url="http://s1096.photobucket.com/albums/g329/BenJaminHoare/"]http://s1096.photobucket.com/albums/g329/BenJaminHoare/[/url] Cheers!
  20. Figured I might as well try my luck. I don't see why no-one's going for this. This Stealth looks ace! I've got a Fender Deluxe Active Jazz in black with red tort. pickguard, rosewood board, Badass II bridge, Noiseless p'ups. Sounds and plays nicely BUT it's a 4-string? Thought I'd put it out there anyway!
  21. Hi! I'm in the process of putting together a bass at the moment - I've got all the hardware, the only problem is the neck and the body are completely unfinished. The neck's maple with a rosewood board. The body's basswood and needs to be painted. I was just wondering if anyone could advise me on what kind of lacquer/paint I should be using? Links to places I can buy them from would be ace too, if possible Looking for a matte butterscotch paint for the body, if that helps?
  22. Have a BUMP from me.
  23. If you wanted to trade for a rosewood neck I've got a Fender Deluxe Active Jazz in black with a tort. pickguard, and a Badass II bridge which I recently had fitted and grooved by a professional luthier, along with a set-up. Plays quite nicely. Noiseless pick-ups, three-band EQ/pick-up pan/volume. A few buckle marks on the back and a couple of really, really tiny knocks you'd have to search for. I look after it but I do use it I've got access to a recording studio so I can provide sound samples if you want
