    I'm based in Edinburgh, and I'm happy to help with set ups and wiring. I don't have the tools for fret dressing, refrets or structural repairs but happy to help with pretty much anything else.

    Lovely bass, amazing how you can get exactly what you want for so little money from them. I imagine they must be getting really busy now, just based on the feedback on this site. I'm hoping to have the money for a 5 string Precision soon, I'll definitely be looking at Jake, hopefully with a 70s Fender look to it, or as much as it can with 5 strings.

    I just put a J-Retro deluxe in my Sandberg TM5 it is amazing, so much better than the Glockenlang, I have a John East MM pre in my stingray too. I really like them.

    [quote name='cana.dan' timestamp='1455914763' post='2983681'] But, you could alway put a J Retro 3 band in it and you'd get the great 2 band sound, but with the ability to change the mids if needed. [/quote] The John East MM pre-amp is amazing, based on the original MM pre-amp, and with the optional sweepable mid control it's just so versatile. That's what I would do, in fact I did.

    This is stunning, I love my '72 Precision, but that is so much nicer looking than mine. Seems like a really good price for the condition too.

    [quote name='Philly' timestamp='1455637317' post='2980954'] The roadworn series are all Mexican made, but are significantly different to any standard Mexican models which is reflected in the price tag. [/quote] These are really great basses, they retail at over £1000 now and the necks feel amazing.

    Would you be willing to pack if I arranged a courier?

    This is a great read, I love the headstock on your other acoustic.

    I was hooked from the start, but that bridge has made it really outstanding.

    I'm not too keen on the the control cover, it looks a bit loose. Better than I could do, but I wouldn't want to buy something like that.

    Bass compactors don't seem to be rated very highly, but I love mine, it works really well as an always on compressor, or as a slap boost/tone/compressor pedal. Great value for money, in my humble opinion.

    Is it £60 including postage? If so I'll take it.

    Still for sale?

    [quote name='PeteHantzios' timestamp='1452857667' post='2954104'] The neck on these, is for me the most comfortable one fender has ever produced. [/quote] The spacing is more like a Stingray than the usual Fender, I think it's about 17.5mm rather than the usual fender which I think is 19my. Really nice bass, can't believe it's going for that price.

    I had one of these, with a lot of similar mods, they are great. The Roscoe Beck V pickups slide right in too if you want upgrade the pups. Can't go wrong with these.

    Is this still available? I have a 72 Precision that I might be willing to trade/swap. Any pics of the Sterling?
  17. EmmettC
    How wide is the main pocket? Just wondering if it will fit my guitar stand?

    Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, my MM5 has two Nordstrand pickups it was originally a single pickup, and a John East Pre, it is a lot nicer (imo) than it was originally. I quite recently bought a TM5, and I love the bass, I really like the pickups, but the pre-amp isn't doing it for me, so I'm going for a John East, just deciding what will work best before buying one. I'd like the new Uni-pre, I just want to make sure it will physically fit, if not I'm sure a J-retro will do the job.

    I'll take the envelope filter if it's still available.

    I just picked bought this from KingPrawn last week, it's had 5 gigs so far, I'm totally smitten.

    Sold through the site

    I'm selling my Sadowsky DI box as I only have one passive bass left and it doesn't get much use. It's been around the block, so it has some marks, but it's working perfectly. It has velcro on the bottom at the moment, but I'm sure I can find feet for it. £100 posted in the UK. I will add some photos when I get home this evening. I would prefer the cash, but I'm always after decent effects. I'd really like an EBS MicroBass (with money your way) as I've started doing in ear gigs, and I'd like to keep the EBS sound.

    Sold. Thanks for looking
  24. EmmettC
    I'm not looking for anything, so it's very unlikely but worth offering in case you have something I didn't know I needed. I'm really trying to get rid of basses, but could be convinced by an EBS Microbass, or effects, or possibly a cabinet.
