    Thats "completely original state"?
    Hope you got it cheap - i would have insisted on one with some paint on it ;)
    Or do you use belt sanders and chainsaws in your stage act?

    Only kidding!!!! Proper mojo machine you have there.

    It's a lovely looking bass... but I just can't get used to those pickups! :huh: Does it sound more like a J or a P? Does it combine the best of both or the worst of both?

    The bridge pickup in particular seems to be oddly positioned - it's [i]very [/i]close to the bridge. How does that sound compared to a J in that position?

    I know what you mean about the looks but as soon as i fired it up it was job done!

    It sounds like a very resonant growly jazz with both pups on but if you back off the bridge it turns into a pbass and the bridge pickup on its own sounds like a thicker hotter jazz. I tried it out right next to a few other jazzes, precisions and a Lakland including actives and it was much stronger sounding. Its pretty in your face but has a lovely depth to it and seems incredibly versatile. You can make tiny changes to blend and tone and it really changes the character. Its a floorshaker with real definition and cut. Bloody love it!

    I've not been to Denmark St for a few weeks, but last time the Bass Cellar had moved to the basement of Rockers, over the road - apparently there were fears at the time that the construction of the new Crossrail station at Tottenham Court Road would affect the north side of Denmark St, so there was a panic move.

    Sorry to thread hijack but i have a Roland Bass Cube 20XL that i just put up for sale yesterday. Much more powerful than the one with the drum machine and sounds great with all the modelling and fx options on it. Might be an option for you. About 1 year old and immaculate.

    Heres the link

    Due to purchasing a Zoom B9, my immaculate Roland Bass Cube 20XL is now for sale.

    Fantastic little practice combo with aux input, headphone out, compressor, tuner, shape switch, amp modelling and multi effects.

    Its the latest model and retails for about 189 most places.

    I would like [s]120 [/s]£100 collected for it. Based near Stansted Airport. Will pop some pics up later today.

    Just wanted to give a big shout to Wunjos Bass Centre in Denmark St, London.

    I popped in today to have a tinkle on a few Fendery type basses. The service was outstanding - the guys (Tom and Mark) were informative and patient. I didnt quite know what i was looking for until i heard it - ive discovered its best to buy with your ears rather than your wallet - and they cheerfully trotted out about 10 different options over the course of an hour or so.

    Other customers came and went and the guys popped back every now and then to have a listen and make some suggestions or shoot the breeze a bit - all sensible and they really figured out what i was looking for.

    I was never pressured and left the shop to have a quick pooch round some of the other music shops in the street and some lunch. Got blanked by most of them (stood looking at a £1100 Warwick for about 5 mins waiting for a bloke stocktaking to move out the way or ask me if i needed any help but gave up and left)and this just reinforced my faith in the service i had received at Wunjos.

    Anyway, a quick call to the missus and i was cleared for a spend up. Back to Wunjos and Tom sorted out a great deal on a Fender Blacktop Jazz with a case and some spare strings. The bass is fantastic - pure growl and grunt - and the whole experience was brilliant.

    Next time you're in town pop in and have a look. They have some nice Spectors, Fenders, Musicmans, Genz and SWR bits and they're well worth supporting.

    Cheers guys!
