    Bump

    Cheers Dave, it is a nice one. You do t really notice it until you see a relatively new one and how generic/anaemic they all look. My '92 has some very distinct markings as well and I love it!!

    Mike, can you give me an indication of the cutoff from new to old? Don't know much about wizards, they were in a bass I bought!

    Haha, you're a classic Karl!!

    Haha, thanks Geek99!! I remember reading your tale of woe and thinking "nah, I got this covered.... one for each vol, tone and jack" What a plonker. Remember folks, don't drink and basschat!!!

    I have seen two or three in recent months pop up on eBay/gumtree. Keep your eyes peeled, they are around! Be prepared to pay big wedge for one though, pretty sure the last one I saw was a Japanese model and was asking about £900 if I remember right!!

    Made the mistake of looking through these pages after a couple of beers, like an idiot I miscalculated how many holes there are on my precision special (mine is passive with the jack in the body). I presume this is meant for the active version!! £15 delivered to mainland uk

    Hi there, I recently took these out of my precision special, so they are up for grabs. Quite versatile pickups these, I was using them in my grunge band and they did really well, but can do a quite vintage sound on just the p with the tone rolled off. £80 inc postage. I can send pics if required.

    I have always wanted a stingray ever since seeing Flea back in the 90's...what can say?? for one reason or another, I never got one until I realised I cant get on with precision style necks, so I picked this up earlier this year and thought my stable was complete... However, circumstances outside my control have forced my hand on this and as a result, this is now up for sale. I have had to undertake some emergency works on my house, as well as reconfigure my rig to suit my new band. It is a 2003 (I believe) USA Sterling Bass (this is the made in San Louis Obispo version, their product line is confusing!) in Black/Maple with what looks like snakeskin pic guard. it has also been fitted with a hipshot detuner (original did not come with the bass), otherwise original. It does everything a MM should, it sounds great, cuts through the mix, and plays just as it should I have tried to show as best I can the marks in the finish, it is in pretty good condition for a 13 year old bass (if you would like any other pics taken, please just ask. It has some slight dulling to the paintwork where ones right forearm would go - this has been someone's gigging bass!! bass comes with hiscox case (not pictured) Bass is located in Warrington, but can look to meet up within reason. No postage on this, sorry but I jus don't have time to organise this right now. Only trades I am looking for are Musicman Stingray 5, Gallien Kueger Fusion 550 or MB200 (cash correction either way) Price temporarily dropped to £620 [URL=http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4967_zpsqdmxwibd.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a535/damoj2/IMG_4967_zpsqdmxwibd.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4968_zpsosoobuyq.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a535/damoj2/IMG_4968_zpsosoobuyq.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4969_zpsgh4jcrkx.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a535/damoj2/IMG_4969_zpsgh4jcrkx.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4970_zpszgkyyoge.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a535/damoj2/IMG_4970_zpszgkyyoge.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4971_zpst4axrsvr.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a535/damoj2/IMG_4971_zpst4axrsvr.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4972_zpsjwptzdk4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a535/damoj2/IMG_4972_zpsjwptzdk4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4973_zps0ohcixcn.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a535/damoj2/IMG_4973_zps0ohcixcn.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    I recently acquired this, and was blown away by how well it played. I vowed as always, it would be a keeper.... However, circumstances outside my control have forced my hand on this and as a result, this is now up for sale. I have had to undertake some emergency works on my house, as well as reconfigure my rig to suit my new band. It is a 2003 Mexican Classic series jazz bass in lovely sunburst. Please note this is the poly finish NOT the nitro on later models. It has the longer shaft reverse tuners and the oh so retro threaded brass saddles on the bridge. It has a VERY vintage sound for a jazz, its not your usual "honky" jazz tone that the 70's jazzes are know for... You can almost coax a precision tone out of it with the neck pickup and some tone rolled off. DOES need some new strings though! I have tried to show as best I can the marks in the finish, it is in pretty good condition for a 13 year old bass (if you would like any other pics taken, please just ask. Comes with a battered gig bag (it came with the bass so don't condemn me!!) Bass is located in Warrington, but can look to meet up within reason. No postage on this, sorry but I jus don't have time to organise this right now. Only trades I am looking for are Musicman Stingray 5, Gallien Kueger Fusion 550 or MB200 (cash correction either way) Price temporarily dropped to £420 Open to reasonable offers and potential trades for bass/amps as long as there is cash my way [url="http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4974_zpsyaakotc4.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4975_zpssuhghfho.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4976_zpslwdnjjxn.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4977_zpsh6qk6af1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4978_zpsvk5rxebv.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4979_zps2p5yttp9.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4981_zpsxlw0gcyo.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/damoj2/media/IMG_4982_zpsb3izmnwc.jpg.html"][/url]

    Hi all, selling my gotoh 201 bridge as taken off my fender pj. A couple of tiny blemishes as you would expect on a used bridge but fully functional. £30 posted

    [quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1478698006' post='3171004'] Try practicing restraint rather than embellishment. A much more useful skill. [/quote] This. Country bass is meant to be simple. Study some of the greats of the genre and stay close to that. New country is mostly 80's rock based, so you can't reallly stray too far here either. Remember, people actually DANCE to country music, you go messing about with the groove and people Will be banging into each other!! If you want to embellish, go play jazz. If you want someone in the crowd to hear your lines and say "wow", you need to choose another instrument 😄 Remember, there is a dignified art in just holding down the groove, honour it!

    Now that is special. Stunning bass!!

    [quote name='blue' timestamp='1478029362' post='3166212'] Agreed, I'm already a full time guy, but no way anywhere near a heavy hitter. I'm not even a hitter. IMO, we only have 2 guys here in Milwaukee that are heavy hitters, Daryl Strummer (Genesis) and Greg Koch. And both of these guys have large stables of bass players they work with exclusively. Blue [/quote] Blue, from this thread, it would appear to me (and correct me if I'm wrong), it's not about "worth" as it is about kudos. You are trying to make the jump from "full time guy" to "heavy hitter", that fact that said heavy hitter earns more cash is coincident. If you say there are only 2 heavy hitters in Milwaukee, if making the jump is your primary goal, perhaps you should consider moving somewhere you can increase you chances?? Move somewhere, do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, there is available, and see where that gets you. Life is a numbers game mate, you need to find a way to get the odds leaning in your favour. Do you think Keith Urban would be the huge country artist if he had stayed in Australia?? He would be just another Lee Kernagan or Casey Chambers (no disrespect to either of these artists by the way). Go for it Blue, I'm by no means knocking you, but you seem to be making a lot of excuses for why your aren't where you want to be. Go MAKE it happen, no one else Is going to gift this to you!

    There is a saying: "If you find yourself to be the smartest man in the room, it's time to find another room". Having said that, I would echo a previous post, sometimes being a musician means taking the lead and teaching, and passing on what has been taught to you. It's up to you if want to be a teacher, or be challenged. If it's fun, why the rush? You have already said that you could spend the time to hone your fretless skills, sounds to me like it could be a great opportunity in the short term, just keep your eyes open!!
