  1. Hello Basschatters Time to move on my CS Precision... This is a '64 CS Heavy Relic which means the finish is pretty battered, as you can see. It's reasonably light at about 9lb, currently wearing (and set up for) Dunlop Super Bright 45-105s which I think suit P's very well and give a fairly easy action while retaining some weight. Not pictured (because it's been in the loft since the day I bought this new about four years ago) is the unused CS case plus a complete set of untouched case candy and the CS certificate. I will replace the Dunlop strap locks with the original buttons prior to sale. I've gigged it quite a bit and always enjoyed it but my tastes have changed somewhat and I have two other P's anyway. It sounds like a Precision should, I think - if you've read this far you'll have a good idea of what you're after. I am willing to discuss the following trades: * £2250 ovno in folding readies * A Fender Custom Shop Jazz, ideally Relic or Closet Classic in white or sunburst, or a CS Geddy Lee * (my ideal solution) a Yamaha Attitude Limited III, possibly a II depending on colour UK deals only please. Based north Worcs and happy to travel / meet as necessary. Thanks very much for looking! Wiggybass
  2. Hi I have had two Bergantino NV115s which I'd like to turn I have turned into something else. Cheers Martin!
  3. That's great, thanks very much! I'm trying to de-pedal my rig and get everything into a rack, otherwise I could just take the outputs into a Boss LS-2 and mix them there but it's just more stuff to carry around, more wires, more outboard PSUs etc. Before it shipped I'm certain I read somewhere that production models would have a switch to route both preamps to a single output but I guess they just never got round to it. As you say, not many of us run stereo systems and to be honest I know that when playing live GL's bass takes up five channels on the mixing console, so there's a lot more going on there than just the two outputs from his SansAmp anyway. So all the other controls still work as they're supposed to? The saturation control still works on the Deep side and the respective controls for the Drive side do what's advertised? Thanks again, really appreciate your help on this 👍 W
  4. Hi all Does anyone have one of these and if so are they using it with the approved rear patching hack that allows a combined signal to appear at one output? The very helpful folks at Tech21 told me... If you’d like a “quick” method for mixing the channels, you can run a short cable from the Deep section’s 1/4” Output, set for 0dB (button pushed in) to the Effect Return with the 50/50 mix engaged (button pushed in). Then run from the Drive section’s 1/4” Output to your amp, and/or the Drive XLR Out to the PA. Start with both Level controls at 12:00. The Drive Level will now serve as a “master volume”, and the Deep Level will allow you to “blend in” the clean signal. ...but I'd really like to hear from someone who's used it like this before I raid the piggybank. Many thanks! Wiggy
  5. Hello 'Chatters I present for your consideration a Custom Shop Jazz in their 'Heavy Relic' finish, what's left of it being Fiesta Red. I've had this about four years, having it bought it secondhand from Coda Music and it comes with its certificate, unused CS case and untouched case candy - it's a lovely Jazz but J's just aren't my thing. It's quite light too, under 9lb I think. Ideally I want to turn this, via straight swap or trade, into a MkII or MkIII Yamaha Attitude Limited bass in seafoam green. I realise this is probably a very long shot so worst case I'll snaffle the readies and then go shopping. Please note that I am looking for face-to-face deals only as I want the purchaser / swapper to be completely happy with this before we touch hands. I'm in the UK midlands and happy to travel / meet within reason. Thanks for looking! Wiggybass
  6. Buy with confidence, seller is a top chap!

  8. Hi Just in case...cash or part cash deal not out of the question...
  9. Hello Basschatters I need to free up some space so the following are looking for new homes: (BOTH JAZZ BASSES NOW SOLD) * Bergantino HD212 speaker cabinet (details on Berg' website HERE) - gigged but not abused, the big deal with this is the sheer amount of air it can shift compared to its footprint, which is about the same as a 1 x 12" so ideal for gigs where you're short on space. Lay it on its side and you may trigger local seismographs. Supplied with original heavy duty cover. £750-ish 😉 Thanks very much for looking. WIggybass
  10. I did look at magnets, you can get all sorts from Amazon believe it or not, but the wheelboard is pretty heavy so I though the bolts a better option.
  11. Right, here's how I did it, maybe someone else might find this useful: * Having measured up the cab I got the nice man at my local DIY store to cut me several 60mm wide stripes of 18mm ply for the skids, cut them to length and chamfered the edges with a router. They are mounted to the base of the cab using the bolts that originally held the big rubber feet in place * On the cabinet side of the skids I mounted a countersunk M8 T-nut then drilled holes in the wheelboard to line up with them * I then mounted bars on the wheelboard so they locate against the inner sides of the skids, just to take the pressure off the bolts a bit * I bought a number of 30mm wing bolts from Amazon and these locate into the T-nuts on the skids through the holes in the wheelboard ...eh voila! A proper wheelboard that is very securely fixed to the cab but can be taken off in seconds, plus the cab isn't permanently modified in any way. Wiggybass PS - The velcro straps are sewn to the cover and hold it on while in transit...
  12. There might be wiring instructions for the Speakon on the back of your amp - every single-output channel item I've ever seen with a Speakon output is wired 1+ / 1- and I'd be amazed if your amp head is any different. Simplest way to fix this is to buy a genuine Neutrik Speakon and mono jack plug from Amazon ([url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neutrik-Nl2fx-Speakon-Pole-Plug/dp/B00FN28RU0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1510339021&sr=8-2&keywords=neutrik+speakon"]HERE[/url] and [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neutrik-NP2X-6-35mm-Jack-Plug/dp/B000KMAQ7U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510339313&sr=8-1&keywords=neutrik+jack+plug"]HERE[/url]), plus a length of 2 x 1.5mm speaker lead (from your local disco supplier) and wire it up yourself, it's dead easy - only very modest soldering skills needed. Connect 1+ on the Speakon to the tip of the jack and 1- to the barrel. If that doesn't work I'll eat my metaphorical hat. PS - I"m assuming that the Speakon in the amp is a genuine Neutrik product - if it is then a genuine Neutrik plug will mate with it correctly. There appear to be issues with cheap knock-off versions of the Neutrik original that don't mate and therefore don't pass any current...
