  1. [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.
  2. [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.
  3. 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.
  4. [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
  5. Ebay bump [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110273787186&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=001"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:IT&ih=001[/url]
  6. [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
  7. [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.

  10. New price. I'll leave it on here for a week and if no bites, EBAY!
  11. [quote name='mikeh' post='238459' date='Jul 13 2008, 12:34 PM']Sunday Bump[/quote] Are these awesome basses suddenly out of fashion or something?
  12. I believe I'm the 3rd owner of this beautiful bass. Previously owned by P-T-P and Silverfoxnik. It pains me to get rid of this because I thought it was a bass for life. Love the sound and the look. The problem is, it's got 5 strings. I was faithful to this bass for 6 months and then played a 4 the other week (it's a jazz project that took me a year to finish). Almost immediately I felt more comfortable with the 4. I have to face facts, I'm simply a better player on a 4. Condition-wise, I'm hard pushed to find a mark on it. Awesome pickups. Superb build quality. Here's a pic: [attachment=10707:DJ5edit.jpg] I'm looking for £675. Pickup from Brighton would be preferred but might come to terms with posting it. More pics available on request. Thanks for looking!
  13. [quote name='bigd1' post='237103' date='Jul 11 2008, 09:56 AM']Just out of interest what weight is this cab ? Thanks BIGd[/quote] According to the website, 24kg. Here is the link: [url="http://www.ebs.bass.se/2007/neo212.htm"]http://www.ebs.bass.se/2007/neo212.htm[/url]
  14. [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='236967' date='Jul 10 2008, 11:21 PM']The posting options with cabs are pretty good these days.. I've bought and sold a number of large cabs over the last 2 years and always used APC and they've been great! Definitely worth considering I'd say, especially if you have someone interested as it seems you do.... Good luck with it![/quote] Cheers for the tip - I'll look them up.
  15. [quote name='Charla' post='236906' date='Jul 10 2008, 09:44 PM']I'd buy this, but I live in Northumberland, so it would be a bit of a journey to pick it up; would you consider posting? Charla[/quote] I suppose if there's no one near the South Coast who's up for creating earthquakes in the next couple of weeks, I'll have to reconsider the local stance. Will update the posting as and when.
  16. [quote name='bass_ferret' post='236457' date='Jul 10 2008, 01:02 PM']Old codgers get BMW K1200LTs You could try a PM to Levelitup as he wanted the cab when he bought my HD350. He does not post often.[/quote] Cheers for that mate.
  17. [quote name='bass_ferret' post='235977' date='Jul 9 2008, 06:36 PM']I can guarantee this cab will take stupid watts and make stupid decibels. First cab I had where I gave up before the cab did. You can turn it down though [/quote] I know what you mean about turning it down but it makes me feel like the old codger who splashes out a Suzuki GSXR1000 and then observes the speed limit!
  18. I bought this off bass_ferret a couple of months ago and I realise it's headroom that goes way off the scale for what I need. It's not left my bedroom. Here's a pic: [attachment=10608:ebs212.JPG] Looking for £400 + postage. Thanks for looking!
