    Cheers Discreet, I've tried to price it realistically. In all honesty, the bass is up for sale for exactly what I paid for it (without the East) some 5 or 6 years ago, but I would be taking a hit on the East as I bought that new. If I get no takers at the full price, I'll remove the East and sell it separately.

    This is my third bass up for sale to thin down the collection. I bought this some time last year as a copy, and when it arrived I was quite surprised by the headstock logo, as it looks VERY original. It was originally a Natural finish, but I had it painted in a sort of "vintage white" colour. It is fitted with a very nice sounding Seymour Duncan pickup, and I upgraded the controls with a KiOgon kit, and in all honesty plays well with a nice feeling neck which is a satin finish. It is a passive bass. Everything works as it should, including truss rod. Would make a good standby bass, or, an excellent starter. Will deliver at cost. Any question, feel free to ask.

    Thanks for that, and you're right, it does sound the dogs......especially with new strings on. I've threatened to sell this on a few occasions, but always ended up changing my mind when I picked it up to photograph it and had a little noodle on it. But this time, I'm making a real concerted effort to resist changing my mind!

    Need to thin down my collection, so this is up for sale. Mint condition with block and bound maple fretboard. This sounds fantastic with the stock pups, but I just don't play it enough. Will ship at cost. As usual, any question, please ask.

    Up for grabs is my trusty Mex Fender Jazz Deluxe fitted with an East Retro 01 pre. I've always liked this bass, but find I rarely play it nowadays, and in all honesty I need to thin down my collection. It's in mint condition, and, if not required I can replace the East pre with the original one to make the bass cheaper at £400. If anyone buys it as is I'll send the original pre along with it. I am looking for a nice 4 string unlined fretless, so would be open to trades for the right one with cash either way. Any questions, feel free to ask.

    Up for sale is my Boss VE 20. These are terrific bits of kit, but I find it's surplus to requirements within my current band. It's in mint condition and boxed with manual. I'll happily send pictures to any interested parties, but the boss website will tell you all you need to know. Asking price includes shipping to a mainland UK address

    Ah! Why doesn't it run through the body, never seen seen one "externally" wired before, and I'm sure it it wouldn't be originally made that way?
  9. Rowley Birkin QC
    I'm quite keen on this. What's the "wire" that's running between the bridge and the bridge pickup?

    Shame you won't post........I'd have bought this by now!
  12. Rowley Birkin QC
    Is this still up for grabs........and is it a "genuine" Shure? If so I'll take it Sorry if that sound a bit off, but there are lots of fakes around.

    A Clef?

    Hi, I could be very interested in this......if you can deliver it to sunny Yorkshire inclusive at £180. I'm away on holiday in Devon at the moment. But feel free to drop me a line if you want to discuss further. Cheers Rowley

    Thanks for the input guys, I'll drop R&F a line.

    Don't know whether this is in the right forum, but here goes. I'm completing a refinish on my Washburn status headless, which I've refinished in white. What I need now is a high quality decal making. I've previously bought a good quality waterside Fender decal from Northwest Guitars and something like that would be ideal, however, I believe they just buy them in, perhaps from the states, so may not be able to create me one. In fairness the decal is all in black, and I have created the decal in a graphics program, but I don't have the equipment to produce a high quality waterslide. So, can anyone point me in the right direction? I would settle for a vinyl graphic, but it would have to be really in a very thin material as I want to lacquer over it and don't want to be able to feel an edge. Any ideas?

    Just bought a Squier VM Jazz of Chris. Communications were spot on and I found him very accommodating. Bass was just as described and spot on! Highly recommended.

    My trip is sorted, might look you guys up on the Saturday.
  21. Rowley Birkin QC
    If you'll ship the Squire to sunny Yorkshire, I'll take it. I recently shipped one for £20 fully insured with UPS via Parcelhero. The offer's there! Cheers Rowley

    I have one of these and it's terrific. Have a bump on me.

    Just sold an Aphex bass exciter to Kev. A very easy transaction and a pleasure to deal with throughout.

    Just sold a Squier Jazz 5 to Andy who has been a pleasure to deal with throughout. Top bloke!

    Thanks for the input (no pun intended). I ordered one of KiOgon's electronics upgrades, who also, as it happened, had some DiMarzio pickups spare which he very kindly offered to post to me to try out. What a difference the whole combination made. Much cleaner sounds right through the range of lows to highs, a vastly improved sound and has made this bass a definite "keeper" for me now. Have a great Christmas all.
