Price drop bump!

Off work sick bump!

I bought this KSD Proto J because after playing it in the shop, it had to be mine. It was natural ash coloured and I really dislike wood finishes, so I had the body and headstock painted in my fave colour, Sonic Blue. It's been painted by the same finishers as used by GB guitars so it's a really pukka job. It really does play great, it looks stunning (hardly a mark on it). I'm selling it as I'm on 5s exclusively now and it gets no use.

I don't have a hardcase for it so I'm looking for local pickup in Brighton. Obviously you get to try it as well.

Was £475 Now £400.

More pics available on request.

Thanks for looking.

I just sold my EBS Microbass preamp to Mike in Estonia. I can confirm he's a reliable guy to deal with. Shipping to Estonia was no issue either.

All in all, an A+ transaction.

Best,

Isaac.

I'm good. I've gone pure jazz these days - reading chord charts and everything! Of course that means I've started wearing turtle-neck jumpers and corduroy jackets.

The sonic blue 5-string Spitfire is a joy!!!

Nick, very sweet of you...

Hope everything's good with you.

Price drop bump.

Multicomp and power supply sold to applerocks. Many thanks. Pleasure doing business.

Any takers at £160 before it goes on ebay?

All the best,

Isaac.

Good on you, Solar Fire is fast and fluid. Randys on fire on that one.. [/quote]

Hope-Taylor and Crampton are amazing. I blame to two of them for getting me hooked on cheese!

I'd say a taste for jazz is well worth acquiring.

Wondering whether I should bring myself back down to earth by recording myself?

Ever get one of those days when you're blown away by your own playing?

I've just sat down and started working out Solar Fire by Incognito - it's a jazz funk encyclopedia in one tune! Anyway, I can't believe I'm pulling off the lines!

Have to milk these elusive veins of form for what they're worth!

Just bought one of these and it's a brilliant bass.

Porn and a half.

[quote name='Stewart' post='252939' date='Aug 1 2008, 06:45 PM']Well, if you are set on a change of pickups, I'd concur with Dr Dave - Barts are very smooth in my experience.

Otherwise no doubt Mr Wizard can knock you up a set to taste![/quote]
Cool, I'll see what's available on Ebay.

[quote name='Stewart' post='252924' date='Aug 1 2008, 05:57 PM']Have you considered changing strings?

I've got those DiMarzios in mine, and they're very revealing - WAY too bright and raucous with Stainless Elites, but smooth and deep with the set of Thomastik flats I've got on there now.

A lot cheaper than a new set of pickups too![/quote]
I don't seem to get on with flats. I've got the same strings on a different bass (Rotosound RB45 Nickle) and they sound perfect. It just seems nuts to only be able to play with the tone rolled all the way off. I don't much like slapping with the tone up a bit either - sounds too thin.

I was wondering whether anyone had an opinion on the what are the mellowest sounding jazz pickups. I've got some DiMarzio Ultra Jazzes in a project bass and I find them really harsh. Can anyone recommend a something a bit sweeter? I like the Jaco/Richard Bona/Etienne Mbappe sound. My favourite sounding bass has been the Lakland Darryl Jones that I'm selling but I'm not sure whether the pickups are available after market or whether they'll fit into a Jazz Bass body.

Your input is appreciated guys.

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='247647' date='Jul 25 2008, 10:57 AM']Man, if I only had the cash.

I was on my way down to Brighton the day you bought it from silverfoxnik, and got the phone call to say you'd bought it. If only I'd got my foot down

Good luck with the sale.[/quote]
Sorry to get in there 1st only to sell it on! Place a bid on EBay, you might get it for a steal and there needn't be any driving involved

Ebay bump

Bump before EBay

[quote name='paulbuzz' post='242912' date='Jul 18 2008, 05:16 PM']OK, I'm up for it.

How would you like to be paid?[/quote]
PM'd

[quote name='paulbuzz' post='242837' date='Jul 18 2008, 04:01 PM']Definitely interested, but too far away (Devon) for pickup - do you have any idea yet what the postage costs might be...?

Alternatively, any possibility of a midway meeting...?[/quote]
Unfortunately, I'm not in possesion of 4 wheeled transport at the mo'. I looked at Parcelforce's site and it looks like postage will be £30-£35.
