Have decided to thin out the collection a bit - so up for grabs is a Nash 58 P-Bass I ordered from the Low End shop in the US in 2008. [url="http://www.thelowend.net/thelowend/index.htm"]http://www.thelowend.net/thelowend/index.htm[/url] Ash body with 3-tone sunburst, Lollar pickup, maple fingerboard and medium ageing by Mr Nash..... Yes - there is an "F-decal" - obtained and fitted by my good self. Plays great - the neck is a dream and perhaps not for Jazz Bass lovers as it is vintage "C" type - so 1.75 inch at the nut and a good handful. Looking for £895 plus shipping. These beasties cost £1500 or so new in the UK so something of bargain I believe. If you live near South Wales you'd be more than welcome to come over and try her out - PM me if interested. Doesn't come with a case but can wrap her up well or perhaps you can come over and take her home with you ! No trades please !

Unlined maple fretless fingerboard P-bass necks are not that common - so unless you want to wait a long time - I'd suggest these people [url="http://www.bhefner.com/"]http://www.bhefner.com/[/url] Funnily enough I've just received an unlined maple fingerboard equipped Jazz bass neck for a project I am putting together. - very happy with it. A quick look on their site shows a P-bass neck with nut and satin or gloss polyurethane coating comes in at $238 - so around £158 - you'll have to add shipping and tax/import duty - so you should get one all in for about the £200 mark. See a quick piccie I took...... [attachment=65241:Fless.jpg]

Most excellent gig ! Nice grindy distorted P-bass sounds The general sound was a good bit harder edged than on the studio albums - this girl knows how to rock ! Don't miss her next time round.....

I've just got the iRig setup for bass primarily and though it has taken a while to get into it - sounds good - latency is minimal. You can record (4-track) and play along with mp3 files. Headphones - not yet sussed that out yet ! [url="http://www.ikmultimedia.com/irig/features/"]http://www.ikmultimedia.com/irig/features/[/url]

I have loved JT's work since Sports Car days - have just got back into her albums and bought some CD's from her website - autographed by her good self ! I saw her live on the Shoot the Moon tour in the Glasgow Pavillion - oh - way back when..... Would have loved to see her on this tour but she played Bristol when I was on holiday. Hope to see her tour in the near future - please tour again !

I may put up my 7-string fretted version for sale in the near future. Would probably sell for £300 plus shipping - can supply piccies if need be - this is only a feeler for interest. Please PM me if interested. If the moderator has a problem with this I can set up a feeler in the proper area.

Anybody tried one yet ? - could be up for a 5-string as I used to have the old Streamer Standard with the ovangkol neck.

PM'ed !

I know there are a lot of Kingbass owners out there on this forum and some seem to have several and some have visited Colchester to try things out - so could you all give me an impression of tonal differences between the various models available. Thinking of going for a fretless 5 or 6 string - the standard appeals as the bolt on neck construction should perhaps result in more mid range punch - which should be desirable in a fretless instrument. However - I am intrigued as to what an alder bodied black beauty or graphite capped alder (graphite) might sound like - does the alder body make much difference over more typical walnut ? I suppose the artist is tonally more even than the standard and with most modern amps, midrange punch could be dialled in - but you'd have the advantage of having more highs available if you wanted them. That's the way I see it but I'd like some thoughts too please ! A photo or two would be nice as well.... Cheers

.....at The Globe in Cardiff. Superb gig - some dubtastic bass as you might imagine. Great drummer ! Did a nice mix of Dub Side of the Moon, Radiodread and the Sgt Peppers Lonley Heart Dub Band discs as well as some of their own stuff - Audience were well up for it - took the band pleasantly by surprise I think. Anyone else seen them around the country ?
-
Ah - memories ! I used to have a fretless version - unlined maple fingerboard too (?!)- sort of dark reddish body. If ever there was a bass I shouldn't have let go of that was it... Have a twangy bump ! -
Correction needed on the "Couldn't Love You More" clip above guys - that's Alan Thomson - who played on the Well Kept Secret Album amongst others - his tone on "Never Let Me Go" is just heavenly - I know it's subjective - but that HAS to be one of the best fretless sounds out there. +1 for Mr Giblin to get back on track - I always liked his duet with Percy Jones - "Wal to Wal" - they always had a wicked sense of humour those Brand X guys..... Never flashy but extremely tasteful in what he plays, it's easy to see why he is still around and in demand. Last saw him playing with JM at Colston Hall in Bristol in 2007 - nice mix of electric and EUB. Good grief I miss John Martyn........
-
+1 to the DR strings - fantastic feel, very expressive and they last for ages. Can I play devils advocate and say have you tried a graphite neck ? Huge attack, great sustain - and with todays powerful eq - i.e., a Sadowsky pre - you can dial in warmth when required. Look no further than Status......... Hope you get on well with your maple fingerboard

Beautiful ! All the best with your sale - if this was unlined fretless I'd be biting your hand off ....... -
Sold pending the usual.....

Bought a Danelectro Dean On 58 Longhorn bass - arrived safe and sound and as described. I have no problem recommending him as a top bloke to deal with. Cheers Marco !

Keep an eye out for the Japanese sellers on e-bay as well as Ishibashi etc - I don't think they have a problem selling 2nd hand Fenders.

Percy Jones was a huge influence on his style/sound, which he readily admits to - in particular the Brian Eno album Another Green World album that PJ guested on Check out the track "Sky Saw" on a Streaming site like Grooveshark [url="http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/search/songs/?query=Brian%20eno"]http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/search/son...ery=Brian%20eno[/url]

Ah yes ! - wonderful album - first got it on vinyl in the early 80's ......(showing my age here, ahem) A CD reprint came out a few years ago but only really available in Japan - prefer the mix on the vinyl album. [url="http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/list_from_code_banner.html?key=367511"]http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/list_from_code_ba...html?key=367511[/url] Some other albums listed one of which is not available - don't think the other two albums featured Percy mind...... Always an innovator and just goes to show you can get good sounds out of a fretless Precision bass.

Bump !!
