Hi all, Just having a spring (or late summer) clean of bits I have lying around and don't need anymore. First up is Cubase Essential 4. I haven't used this in ages, and I'm not entirely sure it runs on Windows 7, but it does on XP. I believe this is discontinued now, as theres Cubase's 5 and 6, but thought someone might want it to mess around with. There's a quick review on Youtube here that will be able to tell you more than I can.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVyIG84eEKk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVyIG84eEKk[/url] [b][s]Looking for £30 posted[/s][/b]. [b]SOLD[/b] Next up, is a Harvest Strap, excellent quality, dark brown in colour and this came from the Overwater shop way back when. Think I paid about £30 for it, looking for [b]£17 posted[/b]. Next up, a Levy's strap...it's 3 inches wide, about a million inches long, hardly been used....£13 new so looking for [b][s]£6 posted[/s][/b]. [b]SOLD[/b] Next, a white pickguard from a Geddy Lee bass, good condition - looking for [b]£6 posted[/b] Finally, a black pickguard from a 75 reissue Jazz bass...it has some extra holes drilled in and was fitted to a Geddy when I got it. It's seen better days, but would be fine for a project bass - looking for [b]£5 posted[/b] Here's some pics...any questions just ask, and if you want more than 1 item, we can sort something out. Cheers all S -
Don't mean to be rude, but are you sure you've added everything up right in your build? Have you included any finishes? Only reason I ask is I know Warmoth had a price rise sometime last year (or maybe earlier this year), plus the exchange rate isn't good at all. I've had hardware and 2 necks from Warmoth, all of excellent quality. I always expect great stuff from them, but when it comes, I'm always blown away by how good it is. Only bad thing, as with all parts basses, is that resale value isn't good...but if you plan on building a keeper then that won't bother you. What is it you're planning to make?

I know you can get some for Jazz pups from Fender, so I'm sure they make Precision ones too. I've used a cut-up mouse mat before, and it worked great.
-
As a birthday treat to me, do you fancy just giving it me back?? -
That's not too bad really. You see them on ebay for £300 plus sometimes. They never sell, but hey ho. Joe - Good luck in getting a muff, they're very much worth it.
-
Yep it's a tall font. You can tell by the lettering on the front. The other green version is the bubble ones...the writing is rounded and is a lot more common. Still sounds bitchin' though. Can't really remember how much they were. The 2 green's I've had were about £100 each, maybe a bit more with taxes. I had one from the States and one from Canada. Some people moan about how they were £20 when they were new and no-one liked them, and now they're the bees knees because they're discontinued, but I think they are worth the money. Can I ask how much the tall font cost you?
-
What an excellent muff you have. I've had a few of the later green versions and the black one too. I've always wanted to try the tall font one as word on the intenretz is that it's the best sounding (same as the Civil War muffs I believe). In regards to knobs...not sure. I thought you used to be able to get them from Small Bear electronics in the Stares, but a quick look shows they don't have any. They can come up on the Bay sometimes, but not too often. Sorry...I've not been much help!! Enjoy that green goodness though!

I'll give this a few hours! Great amps...good luck with the sale, friend. -
No problem brother. Ermm...not sure. Any way to check? The pickup is from 1996...did they have neo back then? There's a big magnet stuck on the bottom of it too. According to Schecter HQ, it adds a bit more oomph (my words, not theirs).
-
Hi Tom, Sorry for the late reply. Hopefully these may be of some help to you. If you need anything else, just ask. Eccuse the slightly shaky pics! That last pic tries to show how deep the pickup is till it hits the rectangle part of the pickup (the base, if you will). You can see on this thread (first page I think) how deep they actually go.
-
Hi Tom, Let me try it tonight and I'll stick them on here. Don't want to take the pups out of the body as they've just been set up for height, but I'll see what I can do. Cheers
-
Don't mind at all. If you do make some, let me know and I'll buy a set off you! Neck is 5.88k and bridge is 6.02k.
-
Umph - Indeed. When I'm a bit more comfortable in life, I may take another look at one of these. Tommo - Did you mean the pickup poles? Diameter is 6mm.
-
Thanks Doctor. The pickups already have like a copper tape round them. You can see it in the picture near the start of the thread. Is that what you meant? On the completed pics, it does look like exposed pickup windings, but that's not the case.
-
I did. Bastardos! Paid about £90-100 extra with customs charges. You can choose who Warmoth ship with...USPS (which is delivered here by Royal Mail) is more likely to slip through the net. Otherwise, they use UPS, and I've paid customs every time with them. The advantage though with UPS is a great tracking system and it was at my door 2 days after it was shipped from Washington state. Great service, but pricey.
-
All done! Picked it up from Jack Ellis at Jack's Instrument Services in Salford this morning. Great guy to work with, did all I asked and was helpful in guiding me with what needed doing. And cheap too! Anyways, here are the pics for everyone. It's been a long time coming, but I finially did it!!

Box arrived for it today so she's all ready to go to her next resting place. Vintage Japanese goodness for not a lot of pennies! Bump! -
Was that a haiku? Cheers Chris
-
...to the top!
-
Bump - shoot me an offer if you think it's priced a bit high. Worst I can say is no
-
Look after it Si!! Good to meet you at the weekend. Enjoy the amp! -

Hi all, Moving back to the sweet sound of Jazz Basses soon, so this is up for sale. It's an Ibanez Blazer from April 1981, and I got it off this very forum last year. Condition is pretty good, beat up in a few places from 30 years of playing, but nothing too drastic. Those in the know, know that the Ibanez basses from this period are of great quality and this thing is *cliche alert on* a Precision killer. Main points of damage are a dent close to the bridge, a dent on the lower horn and some buckle rash near the neck plate. I've tried to capture these in the pics, but they obviously don't affect playing or the structure of the bass. The pickup sounds amazing...powerful, grindy, but full-bodied and oozing with bass and mids. I got this as a bass I could gig with and not worry too much about it being knocked about. It has performed perfectly and never let me down, but it hasn't been abused. Price wise, I'm looking for £230 shipped within the UK, or you can pick up from Lancaster for 220, which is what I paid for it 12 months ago. Currently strung up with some old GHS Boomers which may need replacing, but I like my rounds worn in. I'm putting this up now, but it might be the end of next week or early week after before I can get it shipped, due to working. Thanks for looking - any questions, just ask. I took a shedload of pictures, so here they are.
