    Same as this: [url="http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/guitar-bass-parts/pickups-and-preamps/fender-vintage-noiseless-jazz-bass-pickups-set-of-2/"]http://intl.fender.c...ckups-set-of-2/[/url] Came out of a MIM Fender Deluxe PJ Bass, fully working order with plenty cable left. £30 posted.

    One for the Maiden fans: these came on a bass I bought, but they just aren't for me. They are in very good conditions with literally 5 mins play time, silks are a bit frayed, but fully functional. Cut for a Fender P bass (obviously) but have plenty of leftover for other tuner configurations. £30 new, so £10 posted?

    This is the older model with the flame maple top; the spec on these basses is just amazing:[list] [*] BODY Swamp ash w/ exotic figured maple top [*] NECK Maple, 'C' Shape [*] NECK WIDTH 1F : 38mm / 22F : 62mm [*] NECK THICKNESS 1F:21mm, 12F:23mm [*] FINGERBOARD Rosewood, 12" Radius(305mm) [*] FRET 22/ Large (2.7mm) [*] INLAY Rectangular White Pearl [*] TUNER Hipshot lic. [*] SCALE 34" (864mm) [*] NUT Graphite White [*] BRIDGE EB12(4) [*] PICKUP Seymour Duncan SJB-3n & SMB4-D [*] CONTROL Duncan designed BEQ-3 EQ / 1vol, 1blend, 3-band, frequency selector S/W [*] PICKUP SWITCHING N/A [*] HARDWARE CR (Chrome) [*] UNIQUE FEATURE Layered Body Top [*] Neutrick Jack [/list] Sounds like a souped up Jazz bass to me with a great neck, low action and nice playability. I'm based in Enfield N London for trials/teas. At this stage I'd rather not post as I don't have a hard case for it, but could probably be persuaded if we can figure out how. Price is £250 although very open to trades on this, hit me up with Fender or Squier things. This is in almost new condition with the original factory inspection sticker and protective film on the control cavity plate. The only things I can find are a small ding on the headstock and a slight yellowing of the neck binding. PM me for more pics

    Just received a REDDI from Steve. It was packaged well enough to survive a bomb blast, and arrived before the courier even realised they had it. 2nd deal I've done with him - having done the first this was no hesitation. Can only echo all the positive comments above. Deal in confidence.

    Bought a '51 P pickup from Richard, Easy purchase. Highly Recommended.

    Bought an amp bag from Alain. Really easy purchase and great comms. Highly recommended.

    This seems like a bargain, and has a Fender branded case which I've never seen the like of before. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1978-Fender-Musicmaster-Bass-/182089705042?hash=item2a65646652:g:1YsAAOSwjwlXBQyN

    I also love early Meshell stuff, but from Bitter onwards it's always taken me a few goes before I settle into a new Album of hers. Now Bitter, Comfort Woman, TWHMMTMOMD, Devils Halo and Weather all feature in my top 20 for different reasons. I've also seen her live on each tour since Peace beyond passion and that always helps me to appreciate and start to understand each reinvention. Now, when she releases a new album I'm looking forward to seeing which direction she has taken. She's a remarkable artist and bassist, and from what she says on her gigs is always looking to push the boundaries and move forward.

    Has anyone had a chance to try both? Interested in the pros and cons really if you have - I've borrowed a couple of ONE10's and was blown away at how efficient they are and how warm they sounded. Would the single Wizzy give a similar low end? and would the mids/highs be a bit more defined? assuming I'm only using a single ONE10.

    Awesome, glad to hear it Nik

    [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1459885263' post='3020644'] Where on earth do you find these examples? H.G. Wells would struggle finding something this impressive! Wish I had the funds. GLWTS. [/quote] That is a beaut!

    Just wanted to add that I never really got flats (despite having experimented with a few different sets) until I played a mates vintage P bass with some La Bellas on - Total game changer. I immediately got some 2nd hand 760M's from here and after a bit tweaking the setup of my bass they settled nicely and sound/feel great. They needed to 'break in' a bit though. I've just bought a set of 760FS for my Jazz bass and they are great straight put of the packet. Very even across the strings, not 'sticky' as flats sometimes feel and full of lovely thump tone. So, my vote goes for La Bella's - 760M for a P and 760FS on a Jazz. Oh, and 760QM quarter rounds for my Tele Bass.

    These look intriguing to me, anyone had any experience? https://m.thomann.de/gb/traveler_guitars_tb4p_bass_sunburst.htm?ref=mpd_aa_1

    I'm sure I had a Trace Elliot once that was close to 120kg, that was only a 4x10!

    Martin will make you try it out when you pick it up to see if it's how you want it.

    Or, if you're a bit short on cash this guy has loads of great transcriptions: http://freebasspart.pv24.pagesperso-orange.fr/Bass_Players.htm

    It all depends how much you like to dig into the strings with your plucking hand. Martin at the Gallery tends to try to get it as low as possible as he mainly deals with / builds very high end basses that can handle this without excess buzz. As mainly a Fender player I prefer a medium action as I like to dig in a bit. But to answer your question generally a lower action equals more playability.

    Si, have you tried a Pearl OC7? or the Foxrox Octron? Both these analogue octave ups have intrinsic distortion to create the upper octave.

    [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1459372939' post='3016006'] Doesn't it have a foam mute on it, that will engage with the strings if rotate the other way round? [/quote] Yep, thats it. - If the foam is still intact.

    Not mine, but I'd never seen one in LPB before apart from the original CV's. Looks good, refin? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Telecaster-Bass-1972-CBS-vintage-Fullerton-/281985140276?hash=item41a79fc634:g:5ikAAOSwZtJW-t6k

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1458978812' post='3012507'] It's hard for any pedal to match that tone, but I actually got pretty close with a Zoom Multi FX set up with a BB Preamp boosting into the Ampeg sim. Sounded mushy and unusable with fingers but worked well with a pick! A used VT Bass is a good option for around £80. [/quote] +1 VT Bass should get you close.
