Love the matching bathroom scales !Scratch that - that's the edge of the bass! I see that now 🙃
Now that’s an idea! 😝

I have met this bass, it is a fine, fine bass, just like its owner. Joe is a top chap and I know this bass has been very well looked after!
Thanks DanDood! You are correct on all counts 👌😎

*sensible offers considered*
*hilarious offers welcome**no trades*
*I have dropped the price to £1500 as I need the cash slightly more urgently*
*on a long enough time-line, I will eventually pay you to take it away*
Ad begins here...
WOW! A Custom, Shorter, Shuker Jazz with chambered body?!🤩
Would anybody like to buy it? I have a Shuker P bass which has become my work-horse, so this one barely gets used. It still smells of new paint when I open the case!
Included is a Hiscox hard case. It’s the thicker version of their already tough case.
Courier can be arranged for delivery, or collection in person. I’m in Norwich, NR7, or I’m willing to meet somewhere along the M11 like Bishop Stortford/Birchanger Services, but message me to chat about how the transaction might take place.
If you would like to use a courier, I have used Direct Courier Solutions in the past who are very efficient and seem to act as a specific high value item insurer and then use DPD for the collection and delivery. You can arrange this, or any other courier, at your own cost once I have received the funds.
I will also include 2 spare, spangly pick guards along with the black one that is currently installed.
Here be the specs of the bass…
33”scale
20 frets
38.5mm nut width
19mm string spacing
20.5mm neck depth at 1st fret
22.5mm at 12th
gentle C carve
maple neck
fender style headstock
rosewood fretboard
block pearloid markers from 1st fret
white board binding
two way truss rod
carbon fibre reinforcement
medium stainless steel fret wire
bone nut
Schaller BM lites
Headstock sprayed to match body
Alder body
chambered body
polyester basecoat
colour tbc colour coat
gloss topcoat
chrome control plate
chrome hardware
Gotoh bridge
J pickup set, custom overwound Mojo
Passive vol, vol, tone
Thanks for looking.

Hi bass chums.
It’s time for me to buy some new in ears, because my ears have outgrown my current moulds, and I’ve decided to go for some without the active “Live!” system from ACS... mainly because they only make a passive system now 😆If you’re looking at this then you probably already know what it does, but it only works with the ACS T1 in ear monitors that have tiny microphones in them for picking up ambient stage sound. If I could have this same setup again I probably would, but as I say, they don’t make it any more.
They used to sell this unit for £400+.
This one is still in great shape, all works well. It’s always been kept and used in the leather pouch they made for it, and been stored in a hard shell peli case between gigs. It’s in top condition!
I’ll also include two right angle, mini jack cables (made one as a spare in case the other failed, but it never did) that are used to connect the pack to your wireless IEM receiver or monitor feed from the desk.
This pack will only work with the 12 pin connector that comes with the ACS IEM’s. I’m not sure if it’s a proprietary plug, but I’ve not seen it used on any other band or music related stuff. Apologies if I’m wrong on that, I’m just reiterating that it won’t work unless you have the T1 IEM’s (or possibly a different model made around the same time, I’ll let you research that). Anyway, if you’re looking at this you’re probably thinking of buying it as a spare or replacement and have the plugs already.
I’ve taken some pics of it with the batteries in so you can see it working, but I will not be sending it with batteries.
I can post anywhere in the world for the appropriate postage fee. It will be very well and carefully wrapped, bagged, boxed, taped securely before posting of course.
*offers welcome*... no trades 🤘
Give me a call or text or WhatsApp or email or BassChat message if you are interested or have any questions.
Thanks
Joe

Sorry, it’s been a while since I checked in here...
Would be good to hear from someone who has one, but I guess no one on here has taken the $160, plus P&P, plunge yet.
I’ll check out the talkbass link now.
thanks y’all.

Yeah I’m not too bothered/bogged down by the science of this design... and there’s plenty of discussion around transference of energy and how that affects sustain etc. I’m more interested in how it feels to play with the strings like that and I’d like to know if the string ball-end cup (saddle contact point) can go low enough, without the need for a neck shim, for low action. Also, do the not-a-saddle posts rotate (however slightly) when you pluck a string? I’d like to think there’s a way to lock them down.

Does anyone have a Ray Ross saddle-less bridge? I’ve watched all the setup and advertising videos, but there aren’t any proper consumer reviews yet. Some real-world feedback would be great!
Cheers,
Joe

@spencer.b I succumbed to the call of a Vanderkley Spartan... got a first proper outing tonight in the full band mix so will be doing a few review pieces soon as there are not many owner reviews out there for those interested - Scott (SBL) did a good review and that helped sway my choice but to be honest it was the handbuilt aspect that really got my attention - first impression is how clear and honest the reproduction is - different basses are having their true voice reflected!
100% agree with you about the clear and honest reproduction. That’s pretty much word for word what I said after I first used my Spartan and VK 210 cab. My bass sounds like... umm... wait for it... MY BASS, which I don’t think I’ve ever experienced in all the amps/cabs/combos I’ve tried and owned.
I was drawn to the simplicity of the Spartan. In a world of ever more complicated bass related gadgets and gizmos with trillions of customisable options. I just want to plug in and play with minimal faff and distraction.
Would anyone like to pay me to write a full and proper review? 😉

Sold the amp and 210 cab.
112 is still available.

You’re asking the wrong guy... but I think so yes! That’s the idea in the combo cab.
I’ve just had a message from someone who’s interested, so may have sold the head and 210 cab. I’ll update as soon as I know more.
I’m in Norwich.

Set of used Delano Jazz pickups.
These were £200 new from Bass Direct a couple of years ago.
Served me well in an American Jazz. I’m selling the bass so took these pups out.
They sound great, work well etc. The Delano foil logo has started to wear off, as you can see in the pics, but they still function just fine.
Gimme a shout if you’re interested.
Thanks for looking. Call or text if you’d prefer,
Joe

Don't believe what you read from manufacturers. All lead acid batteries will die very quickly if regularly fully discharged. And yes, including the ones sold as "leisure batteries". (Proper traction batteries excepted, but they cost around £800+ so not even considered here.)
Car starting batteries can die after as few as 30 full discharges on the cheaper ones.
@Jumanji Even that battery you bought shouldn't be discharged more than circa 50% for a longer life. It will die very quickly if you flatten it on each use.
Frank.
Thanks Frank. That’s what I need, a definitive answer!
I haven’t bought any batteries yet. Still researching, and have messaged PJB to ask for recommended UK battery suppliers. They have a list for US companies in the instruction manual, but not for UK suppliers.
Joe
ps. This wasn’t my topic originally. I was just hoping to find out how to connect an external battery without having to turn the thing over, unscrew the battery plate, remove the dead (50% depleted) battery, etc etc
I’m getting closer to answers

They recommend a laptop battery for the Double Four. I guess car batteries are meant to be continually run at close to full charge so are perhaps not the best choice for a bass amp then!
Yes that’s exactly what I’ve learned. An automotive battery will work, but as you say they are not designed to be discharged.
Hopefully a couple of these from Screwfix will do the trick... https://www.screwfix.com/p/sealed-lead-acid-battery-12v-7ah-100-x-65-x-151mm/38315?tc=WA3&ds_kid=92700024372740006&ds_rl=1248181&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249481&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2tegqayz2gIVir_tCh3uDwKBEAQYASABEgJPmvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CLPv48-ts9oCFZfhGwodRxsBCA
one as a spare for when the other is at 50% hahahhaha

Does that not depend on what battery type it is (lead-acid, NiCad, NiMh, etc)? I thought the opposite was true for the type of battery that comes with modern mobile phones (and portable battery packs for bass amps!) that it was recommended to fully discharge / charge every now and then rather than regularly topping up a partially discharged battery?
The recommended battery type for the PJBriefase is a Sealed Lead Acid Gel.
According to what I’ve been reading... there’s no blanket answer to the question about discharge levels for all lead-acid-gel battery cells (unless I’ve totally misunderstood). Some boast a full discharge is possible, while others say it’s best to only discharge around halfway to get the most cycles. But how would you know what halfway was when you’re midway through your busking blues jam?
Without taking your voltmeter out with you, I guess you’d have to charge it to full, then run it completely flat with a stopwatch to time it. Then you’d know what halfway was in time. Even that wouldn’t work because it depends what you’re playing (lower notes take more battery power right?), how loud the amp is set and several other factors to do with things I don’t want to understand... it’s far too complicated. I just want to play my bleedun bass!!!

If you connect two batteries in parallel (as you're suggesting) the battery with the higher voltage will try charge the battery with the lower voltage, as well as powering your amp. Not a good idea if you want to conserve power for busking.
It would be better to disconnect the discharged battery and connect the charged one in its place.
Also, for long battery life, don't discharge your batteries under about 50%, or about 12.4 volts, (depending on the type of battery - check makers figures).
Frank.
Thank you. Good knowledge. Good logic. Thank you.

I've managed to get a suitable battery from these guys http://www.barden-uk.com/ for less than £15 which is good (I think?) and they were just up the road from me too!!
ONE LAST QUESTION FOR ANY ELECTRICIANS:
With the battery connected internally, if this runs flat, can I connect an external battery to the exterior metal contacts on the back of the amp, or will this connecting of two batteries be; bad news / blow up / damage the amp / damage the batterys?
Greg... did you ever find an answer to this question? How’s the PJBriefcase holding up after all these years?
I’m going to do some busking so I’d probably like to have a spare battery on hand.

Yes I get notifications within BassChat when logged in, but emails never used to work when getting replies to an ad post or private message. I just end up checking back every so often by logging in to make sure I’ve not missed something.

£200 including recorded postage within the U.K.
Hello and thanks for looking!
This is a great “little” amplifier that’s only seen one gig. The rest of the time it’s been part of my practice setup in my living room, so never been worked hard.
The one time I did take it out was to a small pub gig and it performed just fine through a TC 112... which it turned out was an 8ohm cab, so I wasn’t getting all the potential power from the 4ohm, 200 watt head! DOH!
Anyway. Needless to say it’s in excellent condition (see pics), and would be fine for someone in need of a very compact amp head. It could easily fit in your hand bag
Original box and paperwork included. There’s a snug (proper) fitting IEC power supply that I cannot claim is original, but it could be, that is also included.
Selling due to getting a combo amp for practice instead.
Call or text if you’re interested. Or message me on BC.
I’m not currently looking for trades, thank you.
Thanks,
Joe

STILL AVAILABLE...
RS112 - £195 (£220 delivered)
Hello, and thanks for looking!
RS112, 8 Ohm cab.
This cab works perfectly, but I’ve sold the rest of my TC rig due to moving on to another setup, so I no longer have a use for it.
I’ve only owned this cab for a year or so, bought it new from Thomann, and it’s seen minimal use... only been out to a handful of pub gigs.
There’s a few scratches to the anti-slip Tolex finish, but the speaker functions as it should as an extension cab.
Included is a custom made Roqsolid cover and a speakon cable.
I have the original box.
Gimme a call if you’re interested. Or send me a message on BC. If anyone is in the area (Norwich/Norfolk) and wants to arrange a viewing then please get in touch.
Not currently in need of any gear, so no trades thank you.
