I bought Karl's MM SUB - he got it posted quickly and it arrived the next day really well-packed. One of the nicest guys I've dealt with on here too!

I bought a Jazz body from Tony. Couldn't have been a smoother transaction - very happy!

Ace, thanks everyone!

Hi all,

Hopefully a quick one - I'm looking at buying a fretless VM Jazz (the one I'm eyeing is an earlier Jaco-lookalike with Duncan Designed pickups) to use as a basis for a project.

Are the pickups in these standard sizing, with the bridge pickup being slightly wider than the one at the neck, or are they both neck-width? I've already got the pickups I want to drop in there, so want to make sure they'll fit!

Cheers

Tim sold me one of his Couch straps - couldn't have been a smoother transaction, and some good chat to boot. Thanks Tim!

Bought a set of Wizard 84s from Danny - all as-described and he got them to me really quickly.

Would happily deal with him again!

Here are mine -

Brown: '86 MIJ. This one's got a Wizard 84 at the bridge, and the paint had been stripped before it came to me. It's my number one when gigging - it's lovely.

Black: only just picked this up - bista using an S9 neck and an early '70s body (the bridge is mounted further back than usual which I think places it as a '69-'72). The neck's in good shape but the body's lived a life, including having a DiMarzio Ultra J added and the thumbrest moved above the strings late-70s style. It's not quite where I want it to be in how it plays, but it sounds wonderful.

White: largely original '77. I've owned it for about 15 years and will never sell it. Sounds immense and plays well but it's not light!

Thanks for the replies everyone, all very helpful. I ended up doing as Paul suggested as a quick fix and it worked perfectly. I'm getting buzzing from the P pickup as expected, but I can live with it - it sounds so much better now.

Thanks again!

I had this - I ended up swapping the wire that connects one half of the pickup to the other with the wire that goes to the hot/ground part of the pot and it sorted the problem.

Cool, I'll try that - did you get any buzz when soloing the P pickup?

Hi all,

I recently aqcuired a 70s Precision which has (I think) a DiMarzio Ultra Jazz fitted at the bridge. Each pickup sounds fine individually, but having them both on full makes the E and A strings sound out of phase. D&G both sound as expected, so I'm assuming one half of the P pickup is out of phase with the J pickup.

I've currently got it wired VVT. One weird thing is the out of phase effect is strongest when I have the Jazz on full and the P at about 95% - still only on the E&A with the D&G unaffected.

I've got another P with an added J pickup that doesn't have these issues - any ideas?

Cheers

Great chap to deal with - very patient and helpful, and the bass was perfectly packed for shipping. Buy with confidence!

Buuump.

Martin Acoustic bass SP mediums. They're still sealed, though the box is a little damaged.

I sold my acoustic and forgot I still had these!

After a tenner posted.

Cheers!

I bought Theo's MIJ P Bass - great guy to deal with, and very up-front about the bass' quirks. Great chap to chat to as well!

Cheers again!

I love that blue....

Thanks - it's Sonic Blue, looks great in the flesh. The previous owner had it refinished in nitro just before selling it to me, I love it.

How does the P pickup sound so close to the bridge on your Rascal bitsa? I've got an old Hondo which has a P pickup in the Stingray position, it sounds huge!

Here's mine - 1988 MIJ Fender jazz body and a 2004 US neck. Most of the hardware and electronics are from my parts bin, but it plays brilliantly! Lowest action of any bass I've had before.

Bump! Loads of new pictures and I'll post in the UK for £20.

Forgot all about this - bump!

The one [i]without [/i]holes for the chrome covers is still available.

£1200 is a great price for a new bass, but if you are prepared to hold out you can get one for approx £700 second hand.
There is one on here/eBay/Facebook/gumtree in surf green I think in Southampton.

Sure is, it's mine!

They're really great basses, and to be honest I'm on the verge of keeping mine if it doesn't sell before I move. It's an older one with the 'classic' Fender body shape and Delano pickups (which I agree are more hi-fi than old-school). I've found the P/MM set up sounds something like a ballsy P/J.

I'm guessing the one you played was one of the newer body shapes? I'd love to have a go on one.

And up!

Price drop to £700, and now also listed on eBay (would rather sell through BC to be honest).
