  1. [b][i]Edit: This has now been sold[/i][/b] This is a Mighty Mite "Licensed by Fender" 60s "vintage" maple Jazz bass neck, part #MM2909vt. The hardware is from a Matt Freeman Fender Squier. One of the screw holes for the 'G' tuner is too large, so it is held on with only three screws. Price includes UK postage.

I have now learned how to set the white balance on my camera. The actual colour is closer to this:

  13. Bump. Some interest from further afield - but hoping for a local (south-east England) sale.
  14. [color=#a52a2a][b](Edit 3rd June: now on hold pending sale)[/b][/color] For sale (no trades, thanks) Epiphone Zenith fretless: £400. I bought this new in October 2012 and it's a great bass -- but I hardly use it now, as I'm playing P bass or upright 95% of the time. It gets a lot of attention at gigs! People always notice and ask about it. Flaws: - I'm afraid I lost the truss rod cover: [url="http://i.imgur.com/Mo2fjgB.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/Mo2fjgB.jpg[/url] - The markings on the pots are slightly worn away. [url="http://i.imgur.com/HGqsfsN.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/HGqsfsN.jpg[/url] - There are a couple of very small dings on the side of the fingerboard. - There are two stacked pots. The bottom half of each turns smoothly. But when you turn the top half, the bottom half sort of 'sticks' to it. Not sure I explained that very well, so here's a video: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdLeaPpNC8g"]https://www.youtube....h?v=OdLeaPpNC8g[/url] Asking price includes a gig bag -- this one: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ritter_rcg700_9_ab_bst_classic.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...bst_classic.htm[/url] I'd rather not send this in the post. I'm based near Wimbledon, London, and I have an amp here if you want to try the bass out. Or, I could deliver to you, or meet up half-way. I gig regularly around the south-east, so PM with your location and we'll figure something out. Here is Epihone's website, with all technical info: [url="http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Bass/Zenith.aspx"]http://www.epiphone....ass/Zenith.aspx[/url] Ed Friedland's demonstration: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsuiVj3B9E0[/media] Please ask any questions or request additional/specific photos!

  16. La Bella "Deep Talkin' Bass" 0760M strings Original 1954 Vintage, aka "James Jamerson". Bought in Oct 2013; used for a few gigs. String 'em on a P bass to get that MOTOWN sound!
