    Where can I find a Danelectro DC Bass and how much would be a reasonable price? I bought Guitar and Bass Magazine the other day and this months private collection is that of a vintage Dano nut. Anyway, that made me decide I want to Danelectro again. My first guitar was a salmon pink U2, but what I really want is a DC Bass, in black, like the one Jimmy Page played, but a bass, obviously. They re-issued them but are discontinued now. What's a decent price to pay for a good codition second-hand one? I know I wont get another deal as good as my U2 (£60!).

    Bump!

    Jermaine uses a similar one if not the same one in Flight Of The Conchords. Edit: D'oh! Just clicked the piccy and saw that it is his bass :blush:

    Hi Following the recent purchase of a set of Wizards, I'm taking the pickups that are currently in my Jazz out, and are surplus to requirements. I've got Seymour Duncan SJB-3 Quarter Pounder for the neck position. I bought it about a year ago, and still have the original box. The Quarter Pounders are pretty hot pickups, but I would say this is a lot smoother than the SPB-3 I had in my P-Bass, and doesn't tend to distort as much, unless you want it too. Yours for [b]£25.[/b] [s]I also have the orignal bridge pickup from my MIM Jazz. It's pretty nice, I have it higher in my pickup mix than the SJB-3, pretty bright and snappy. In very good condition too. Yours for [b]£12.[/b][/s] Both prices [b]include postage[/b] too. Paypal/cash/cheques/Postal Orders all fine by me. I'll get some pictures up ASAP. They're both still in my Jazz at the minute, should hopefully have them replaced by the middle of next week. Jono

There's a few different models in his shop too. The price is ok, and I think you may just avoid customs charges too. I nearly sh*t it when I saw the price of postage but there's a cheaper option too which'll probably be about £7.

    [quote name='BOD2' post='226761' date='Jun 25 2008, 03:47 PM']I assume it's not the knob that's wiggling but the actual shaft of the pot itself ? If so there's nothing you can do to the pot really. You would have to look at replacing them, I'm afraid.[/quote] Yep, that's it exactly. I put some skirted Jazz Bass knobs on it yesterday, I did have heavy chrome ones on and the new ones help keep them stable, with the exception of the small one on the tone knob, but I reckon I'll have to bit the bullet and whip out the soldering iron at some point

    Never seen an ABM 212 before. I'd love to take it off your hands but you're way too far away

    Is there any way I can stop the shafts of my pots moving without replacing them? The nuts are screwed on tight and the pots itself doesn't move, just the shaft that the knobs goes on. It can be wiggled side to side, and I'm pretty sure that they're not supposed to. It's solid-shaft CTS pots that are on the bass if that makes a difference? I just can't be arsed having to replace and rewire them.

    That's what I thought, not that he was trying to con folk or anything.

    I think the ends that you attach to the bass are in the box in the picture, but I may be wrong. I reckon the fact that you can't remove the strap ends would piss me off a bit, but having said that, I can't remember the last time I actually took the strap off my bass. I just wanted to gauge opinion on these straps, I'm using a 2" Ernie Ball strap and Dunlop StrapLoks, I'm not sure if this would be better or not. Definitely looks better IMO.

    Like [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dimarzio-Cliplock-Strap-fit-Ibanez-Jem-RG-Fender-Gibson_W0QQitemZ140243175688QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140243175688&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]this one[/url]? I like the looks, and I've seen a lot of people using them but I don't know if I would trust my bass to the clip. Any opinions?

    I was considering getting either a second hand P Bass or one of the new Squiers, but for an extra £100 you could pick up a second-hand Highway 1 P or J, which seems like a better idea IMO.
  13. Jono Bolton
    I love it! Although, ''these is no reserve for this item''?
  14. Jono Bolton
    SPB-2 sold! All other bits available!
  15. Jono Bolton
    Updated with new stuff!

    Peavey Foundation was mine, red with a maple neck. I bought it off a guy a school on my 14th birthday. It was a good bass actually, nice sound IIRC. I sold it to my brother's friend who promptly butchered it. I think he was going to cover it in some fluffy material but whether or not that actually happened I hope to never find out
  17. Jono Bolton
    Bass, scratchplate and Gotoh all sold!

    He sounds like a tool. Anyone messaged him to tell him he's a nob?

I reckon it doesn't. I know the original ABMs were badged as Ashdown Bass Magnifiers but this isn't one of them. Anyway, I contacted the seller to let him know but he says he can definitely see some sort of valve in there. Can anyone shed some light on it? Also, it's missing the front grill

    I use MusicGuard as well, I think it's about £7.60 a month for my (roughly) £1500's worth of bass gear, but that'll be reduced in a couple of days when I remove my P Bass from the list. At a price like that I reckon it's pretty much a no-brainer, and it's covered if it gets nicked or damaged, and I'm covered if someone gets hurt at a gig as a result of my gear.
  21. Jono Bolton
    That's true, it'll be completely pointless, but I reckon it completes the look really. Reckon it's gonna between the neck and the pickup if I take the plunge and get one. It does mean drilling the bass though
  22. Jono Bolton
    Yep, I initially passed over it because the layout isn't the best but they have everything you could ever want, the prices are great and the customer service is impeccable! I don't go anywhere else now for bits and bobs, unless it's something hard to find, in which case it's usually something that WD or Allparts can order in.

    Hi all. [s] I've bits and pieces that I don't need anymore. First is a [b]new and unused Seymour Duncan SPB-2 for P Bass[/b]. I bought it for my P Bass but had to sell it just after it arrived so never even got round to opening the box! I paid about £42 for it, then got stung with a £15 customs fee from FedEx. Yours for [b]£42[/b], or I'll trade you for a decent Jazz Bass bridge pickup.[/s] Next is a set of 3 flat top, chrome barrel knobs. I put them on my Jazz a couple of months ago but decided I want to put traditional Jazz Bass knobs back on it. Cost me £8.10 ([email protected] each) for the set, yours for [b]£6[/b] I also have a couple of original bits from my MIM Jazz. I've got a neck pickup for [b]£12[/b], a bridge pickup for [b]£12[/b] or [b]both for £20[/b], and a bridge for [b]£9[/b]. All the MIM bits are in full working order and in very good condition. All prices include postage![s][/s]

    [quote name='chris_b' post='221175' date='Jun 18 2008, 10:13 AM']Only a suggestion, but why don't you just stick your thumb on either of the pickup covers?[/quote] Because I don't plan on using it, but I like the way they look. I mainly use a pick to play, so it's just a cosmetics thing.
