PM'd !

Lovely bass - what about sticking some flats on her as a first measure and then having a look for some passive pick-up/circuitry combos - give Andy at Wizard pickups a call ?

I've got some flats on a Lakland LOG 5-string (55-64 I believe they call the 5-string Bob Glaub nowdays) by the way - Killer reggae bass !

Warwick Alien Standard 4 ??

I'm sure they do a fretless too - put some flatwounds on it - bingo !

I prefer the black one........

Tom bought a Danelectro (Dead on 58) bass from me - paid promptly and with great comms - so can recommend him very highly indeed !

Hope you enjoy the bass.....

Now sold

Love Hurts - the Nazareth cover - Fender Musicmaster

My history teacher wrote out the chords to play over......

As I remember, I soon got into learning Stranglers tunes thereafter as JJB was my hero back then

Happy days......

Back up for sale due to timewaster........

I know the German ones are north of £2.5k but the Korean Pro Series ones are about half that.

I feel GAS developing - doh !

Anyone tried a Korean Pro Series Thumb or Streamer yet ?

PM'ed

Just wondering if your man at Wizard could do something with the existing pickup - beef it up a bit by re-winding it. Perhaps get a second to work on.

I wonder if anyone would get around to making these beasties again. I'm sure marathons could be made very inexpensively - maybe your man who gets Burns guitars made in the far east could be persuaded ??

Maybe you need a subwoofer for your iPad..............don't think the audio came from the mixing desk..........probably from the crappy microphone in gadget of whoever filmed it.

His Jazz now has a neck with pearl blocks instead of the usual black ones. Last tour I believe he used a Japanese GL neck and got his roadie to take some of the varnish off the back.......

Cool !

Sounds like a plan to me - that's assuming you feel the RW needs the fretwork. What about messing with the action, relief and intonation first ?

If still not happy after that then do it.

What about after that ? - pickups, pick-up cover, pots, wiring......

Thursday night back from the pub and curry bump !

Or should that be......

Good luck in your "CS" search

I take it you've seen this ?

A nice series of videos that show off how good they sound....

Thanks for posting - wonderful basses.

I remember falling in love with a white fretless Marathon in Glasgow in the early eighties.

Was lucky to have to have owned a fretless six string Marathon - same colour as your Modulator. One of those instruments you definitely regret selling on.....

Would love to get a double neck - will need to update my searches on flea-bay !

There seems to be a different valve amp coming out of the woodwork every week - not so for us bass players.

I know the physics/electronics means in reality we need more power than our high pitched cousins...... but.........

Are there any guitar amps out there that could cut the mustard as bass amps - I'm sure there are some Marshall or Hiwatt amps out there that are more than up for the job. Equally, are there any (inexpensive) valve amps out there that could be modded ?

Great stuff ! - I love all this talk of building your own beast.

I'd love to do the course that John Shuker provides - buidling your own bass from scratch .

[url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/course.htm"]http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/course.htm[/url]

Appears to be offering a course on set-up and slight mods/repairs as well......

Wow - these look the bees knees !

Any piccies of the 5-ver or fretless versions yet ?

Sorry to hear about the loss of this nice piece of kit.

I always fancied (and still do fancy) a black one of these - with mirror scratchplate of course - to go for the authentic Phil Lynott look.

Hope it turns up safe and sound.

Putting this amp up for grabs. Have owned since new. Amp is now two years old and in as new condition.

This is the 350w@4ohms - 500w@2ohms version.

Specsheet is to be found below

[url="http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=1995&sid=424&cid=95"]http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid...=424&cid=95[/url]

Includes Genz Benz gig bag

Great sounding piece of kit withe the 12AX7 tube preamp part providing the warmth and the switch mode power amp section providing the shove.

Looking for £300 ono plus shipping. No trades please - I'm putting the funds towards an all valve amp. Going to try one for a while to see how I get on with it.

If you live near Newport South Wales - feel free to pop on by to try it out.
