    On hold!

    Things I would have given for a bass of that quality for that little money when I started playing(and this is only eight years ago mind!)... I remember even in 2006 the cheapest bass I could find was a Boston P copy for £60 which was totally unplayable until I taught myself how to level the frets with knife-sharpening oilstone I'd nicked from my Dad's shed. £87 for a bass like that? Brilliant!

    Ibanez make some nice stuff. I had an dark red/purple Artcore bass in for a setup the other day and it was a stunner! Was amazed to see them for only £230 new on the internet, I'd have priced it much higher from the quality.

    [quote name='topo morto' timestamp='1397047439' post='2420069'] How do you reckon it would cope with BEAD tuning? Would the bridge take a .125, for example? [/quote] I've not tried it myself but can't see it having any problems beside needing the usual setup for lower notes, looks like plenty of room at the bridge for thicker strings

    Price drop bump as this is getting silly now... £200 posted, £180 collected from my place in Liverpool.

    Sold a pedal to Diego last week, payment was received with no problems and I would be very happy to sell to him again!

    Trades?

    Definitely keep the original pickups! I had one a while back and upgraded the pickups to something fancy and expensive, and it lost all it's character to the point of barely sounding like a jazz bass so much as just a fancy set of pups. To this day my main bass(upgraded squier jazz) has a pair of stock 2003-2008 MiM pups installed and sounds perfect. If you like how it sounds already, leave them as they are. Badass II/Gotoh 201(/203... whichever's the heftier one) is the only upgrade you'll ever need, for just a little extra heft... but again, if you're already happy you're better off leaving it alone for now

    Bump! No love for a bit of 80's nostalgia? If you watch the Tom Cruise movie [i]Cocktail[/i] there's a scene where a band uses one of these... *dons anorak*

    Can't go wrong with a pair of Mackie SRM450's

    Bump!

    Bump

    Apologies, I've only just seen it, will reply now. Cheers

    Wow, I always said I'd never sell mine, but if the Squier jazz I paid £150 for new about four years ago is now worth £1200 I'll have to reconsider. Anyone here fancy a trade for a Fender Am std jazz+cash my way?
  16. SlapbassSteve
    Still here boys and girls! £70 for a great delay/echo/loop pedal delivered to your door!
  17. SlapbassSteve
    I've no idea, but I had one for a few years and really regret selling it, was an absolute bargain. Lot of bass for the money as per with HB stuff
  18. SlapbassSteve
    Beautiful! That's a bargain for someone nearby...

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1395185836' post='2399675'] Despite being responsible for me spending too much of my money and switching gear far too much... I like Basschat, most the folk on here and think the mods do a pretty good job considering. Well done. Just wanted to say that. Thanks [/quote] +1

    [quote name='Kova' timestamp='1394833450' post='2395880'] I am. Please confirm it is indeed in full working order and good cosmetic condition. Is Paypal good for you? [/quote] As per description and photos it's all as it should be Paypal is fine, drop me a PM and we'll talk business

    [quote name='Wud' timestamp='1394835995' post='2395912'] The pedal, and box/manual all looks in good cosmetic condition to me. I really like the Headrush, very much an underrated Delay pedal, IMHO it's the best pedal Akai have made, yes,yes, yes, Deep Impact included [/quote] Thanks! Well, if anyone has a Deep Impact going spare and fancies a trade I'm all ears...
  22. SlapbassSteve
    Yeah mate still available if you're interested! Steve
  23. SlapbassSteve
    Still no takers? Folks are more than welcome to come try it out if at all curious
  24. SlapbassSteve
    Bump! Don't forget this is also a top delay/echo pedal!

    I'd agree with this, looks like wateroftyne beat me to this point but I remember seeing a video ages ago of Geddy Lee playing a P-bass, with the caption along the lines of 'Geddy Lee doesn't need a jazz bass to get the Geddy Lee jazz bass sound'... in actual fact what it sounds like is Geddy Lee playing a P-bass. Likewise if he started using any other type of bass, it wouldn't sound just like GL, more like GL playing *bass X* through *amp Y* It's the same with Flea, compare a track off BSSM to a track from Californication and both sound just like Flea but one clearly sounds like him playing a Wal/Musicman and one would clearly sound like him playing a Jazz... etcetc
