BassBod

Now traded...thanks to all for the interest.

Did the amp sell? May have some interest for you.....PM me?

Checked the loft, haven't got the shipping box....bump

I like your style....

Amen! Thanks...deliberations started...

Will do - pm me your location?

Oh yes, all present and correct, even got past immigration at the bridge (although I thought £6.40 was a bit rich for a backhander). Was a big house a few miles north of Abergavenny...posh party.

Probably no introduction necessary, this is a Series II Barefaced Midget, metal grill, one Speakon input socket and Roqsolid cover with red piping. A great little light cab, with a bit of an aggressive bark to its mid range - how much depends on the voicing of your amp and its eq. My SWR's are a bit edgy, but can be tamed with some tweaking. Other warmer voiced amps will be less pronounced. I've read these go very well with the older Compacts, but I've not tried it. Excellent condition, handle and all feet intact...could easily pass for new. No trades (well, what you got?) and collection from Bristol/Bath area only. Photos will be up as soon as the sun comes out again and the rain stops... [attachment=169144:IMG_0944.JPG][attachment=169145:IMG_0949.jpg][attachment=169146:IMG_0946.jpg] Rain stopped..for a while!

Just realised I was gigging only a few miles away from you a week or two ago...

Show me a photo...I'm that shallow I could be tempted....

Good point...

That is very tempting...even though I'd never need to use it!

One last bump....

Shaggy- you got a Series1!? Wow....

[attachment=167456:IMG_0758.JPG] Thanks Chris, here is an artsy photo of the headstock, just because...

[quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1406139437' post='2508727'] This is proper lovely, right up my street! (and reminiscent of your old sunburst '72 fretless P/J that I inherited at one time?) If I hadn't literally just put together a similar bitsa (2012 AVRI '75 RI Jazz body with 1977 US Jazz neck in maple with pearl blocks) I'd be at your door for this - have a bump anyway....... [/quote] Yes, it was a replacement for that very bass ( I always wanted it to be a J). Shame....that would've made a good deal with your Martin. I played the one in V&R a week or two ago..love the chunky neck.

[quote name='robgo' timestamp='1406149562' post='2508884'] That is nice! Is the neck normal unlined fretless styley, i.e. fret dots on the side at the fret positions (i.e. not between frets like a fretted neck)? I'm sure I could have put that more clearly! [/quote] Yes, dots are on the fret positions (3 5 etc), not in between. Minimal but useful too.

[attachment=167321:IMG_0916.jpg][attachment=167322:IMG_0914.jpg] Feel free to ask any questions etc etc I'll try and get some better photos later, if I can find the proper camera.

A lovely bass, and a real BassChat Bitser but I'm skint, so its got to go...there may be more... I put this together a few years ago as the typical late 70's Jaco tribute bass. Neck - '71 Fender jazz, with binding and walnut strip. Very yellow and crazed finish. Has had a rosewood fingerboard added (was built as a maple one piece). Plays very well indeed, fingerboard has the lightest of playing marks, no significant wear. Chunkier 70's profile, and a touch deeper overall due to the added fingerboard (although it really doesn't look or measure any bigger than a standard neck plus frets). Ex-Beedster...but thats not uncommon around here. Body - Solid 2 piece alder, from a '99 Fender re-issue, stripped to poly undercoat, then sanded back...but a lot of it is still there. Then given a rough nitro-rattle can coat which is ageing nicely. Its rough, but has a certain rustic charm. Medium weight, but not too bad. Stuff - has DiMarzio J bass humbuckers, warm and full. Badass 1 bridge, which gives more height..works perfectly with the slightly thicker neck. Has a Fender tort plate fitted. Currently strung with DR Sunbeams. No case or bag. Collection only from Bristol /Bath area...or meet up within an hour.. [attachment=167318:IMG_0914.jpg][attachment=167319:IMG_0916.jpg][attachment=167320:IMG_0913.jpg]

We're all a bit skint, I guess. I probably would've bought the Steinberger if my car hadn't been written off a few weeks ago (it was parked...nothing to do with me!). Can't work without a car, but I can gig without a Steinberger...most of my employers would probably be glad about that!
