  1. Thanks all.
  2. I think I know this is a dumb question, but can you use any strings on an acoustic bass? Or do the pins at the bridge dictate 'special' strings?
  3. Temporary moment of mild madness - £550 delivered...
  4. Truss rod works fine. Turns readily both ways. Electrics work well. Just occasionally, the bridge pickup goes quiet when the neck pup gets turned down. Can't quite work out whether it's a loose wire... Very intermittent, though, and always functions properly with the neck pup...
  5. Bought from here not so long ago, but the bass this was subbing for appeared at a discount, so now back for sale again. It's a Columbus Jazz, a previous owner tried to remove the paint job, revealing an interesting construction: it's a front to back sandwich of two pieces of (I think) mahogany, with front and back veneers of - something else... Can't tell what. It has obviously been in this state for many years, cos it looks just like the cover of 'School's Out', lots of mojo. Ironically, for a budget bass, from only a short distance away, it looks like an expensive burled top, something exotic. It plays very well, I balanced the pickups, so now sounds even better. The pickups are quieter than the average, but sound great when turned up (as they should be). The bridge looks like an expensive after market jobbie, 3D adjustable. It's wearing heavy gauge Marusczcyk flats at the moment, and tuned down to BEAD. It sounds thunderous, and only slightly rattly with downtuning. Delivered in the UK inside its own hardcase for one hundred of your english pounds. Can't say fairer than that, guv....
  6. Price drop to £625 delivered...
  7. I had a C5, it was great. Preamp/pickups work really well together. Don't remember it being incredibly light, but it certainly wasn't heavy. I would recommend them...
  8. I second the above post. If its an Aerosilk piezo, you'll be laughing--they're excellent
  9. La Bella White nylon tape wounds with a piezo bridge, on a semi hollow body = superb DB-like tone. Real girth and texture to the notes...
  10. Cheers. It looks like I've missed out on the bass I was after, though. If so, I'll withdraw the Ashula...
  11. I've not had this very long, but I have loved almost everything about it, it's only offered for sale as I have seen something on sale here I've been after for a long while, so needs must... 7 strings: 3 fretless, piezo bridge, active vol/tone, 24 positions 4 fretted strings, 2 single coil pickups, vol/bal/bass/treble, 22 frets 3 way switch - fretted/fretless/both. This combination makes for an extremely versatile instrument--I've strung the fretted side with piccolos, downtuned to DGCF, then tuned the fretless side GCF. The contrast between the two (warm, wooly fretless, crisp, clear fretted) is rather lovely, and makes experimentation very appealing. I will include the piccolos and the regular rounds in the sale. It plays excellently strung 'normally' as well. The fretted side is big and heavy in tone, and the Aerosilk piezo bridge is just fantastic (I have it on 2 other Ibanez's).Very responsive to player input. Condition is almost brand new, tried to picture the only 2 scuffs I could find. The burl top absolutely glows, the jatoba fingerboard is really pretty, etc etc. As always, when I list a bass for sale, I'm asking myself "why am I selling this lovely thing?", but I can't have too many basses (can I...) £675 delivered within the UK, in it's own, rather fetching hard case, complete with embroidered logo! These were quite a limited edition, so should rise in value, and it has all the usual Ibanez build quality and reliability... Thanks for reading...
  12. It's not a mahogany body by any chance, is it?
  13. Meant to post the sky blue one, sorry
  14. https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/J-D-Bass-guitar-JB-Vintage-1975-BK-Black/art-BAS0004370-000 Cheapo option?
  15. Bought Dylan's Columbus Jazz. All went well, good communication, I would certainly deal with Dylan again
  16. Collection or a meet would be preferable, but I'll post for cost...
  17. I am not a guitar player, I am a bass player. I got this very competent guitar from Thomann, maybe 2 years ago. I was attracted (and still am) by the colour combo, and by the very positive YT reviews. It's as new, can't find any flaws, strings are still good, it's had hardly any use. I thought it was a bargain new at £100, it's most certainly a good deal at £50... May I direct your attention to the following pictures...
  18. Yes, not Bill Dickens, just noticed on YT he's referred to the same way...
  19. Anybody know where the Bass Buddha is? The site is unavailable, and I haven't seen any YT videos lately... I always enjoy his playing, and the relaxed vibe...
  20. Sold my Ibanez Roadster to Bjorn, in Sweden. I very cleverly used the wrong banking codes, which meant a long delay, search for the payment, a refund, then a new payment with the right codes. Throughout all of this, Bjorn was patient, polite, and appreciative, even though it was my fault. I would happily deal with Bjorn again (geddit?) in the future. Thanks Bjorn. Sean
  21. Bought Keir's Ibanez Ashula from him. It arrived safely, and perfectly as described, after really good communication. Very trustworthy guy. Thanks, Keir
