    Bump?

    A fret less p bass has a surreal beauty that words just cannot do justice to. It certainly looks the business hope it sounds as good!

    Hi I'm having trouble uploading photos but on my "new amp day" thread from January it's shown in with the full rig

    Hi based just outside St Albans

    Well played Paul S!!

    Haha genuine comment or don't want me lowering the bar for if/ when you sell yours? Agree it's a fantastic little amp and spent ages trawling eBay for its bigger brothers before getting a deal on a trace rig. Fender jazz through this sounds awesome.

    Bought just a few months ago, has the logo still attached and is very clean, looks great. Really don't want to sell but needing to raise cash for a new bass and realistically I don't need this much bass power, sadly. The cab is on wheels and has handles on the side. Location: just outside St Albans. Just putting a feeler out there to see if there's interest...

    Bought for a project that I don't have the time or skill to execute. All screws etc. included. Pictures coming soon.

    NOW SOLD, PLEASE REMOVE This is a bit of a reluctant sale but i'm managing with my 300Watt trace on less than "1" volume and the GK isn't getting used. I LOVE this amp. It has the tone switch that gives you a great scooped sound, you can switch channel for a distorted sound, there's an input for an MP3 or whatever, the cab angles back... It is a really great amp in a small package. I don't want to sell it but it just isn't being used and I want to raise cash to blow on a new bass... The only slight fault on this amp is that when you plug a jack in to the headphones socket it doesn't mute the speaker, so it's more of a "line out" really. I'm sure this is an easy fix if you need it to be. Pictures to follow soon...

    For Sale: A black Westfield P-Bass with a few small basic mods. I'm giving up on the project to upgrade this in to the ultimate P-Bass due to lack of time etc. - so this becomes someone else's opportunity. Here's the details: Black P-Bass, rosewood board Mods: Wilkinson black bridge with chrome saddles, black knobs, black strap-locks (Schaller style) I've got it strung up with some old worn-in Ernie Ball flats and it has a pleasing sound, easily gig-able. Nice to have as a knock-about bass. Photos coming soon... I'm also selling a decent P-Bass pickup if anyone is interested in adding that to this bass...

    I'm going to buy a load of second hand Squiers, sail out to a buoy a few miles off the Scarborough coast and anchor them down so that the waves smash them in to some rocks, limpets grip on to them, the chrome tarnishes and they stink. £500 each, anyone in??

    It even looks wet on the big welts under the bridge. Is it wet? I don't understand!!!???
  13. uk_lefty
    Still available

    Aha - the current body is a Westfield P Bass copy, and the bridge is a Wilkinson P Bass copy so hopefully that shouldn't be a problem?
  15. uk_lefty
    interesting, hadn't thought of that one
  16. uk_lefty
    I like that a lot! Congrats

    Hi everyone, I bought a G&L Tribute 4-string bass neck recently, all maple. It's excellent, needs some sharp edges sorting on the frets but otherwise its great... However...! The neck has an extra fret to a standard Fender P or Fender clone neck. It fits perfectly in the neck pocket on the body I want to use with it (Westfield P Bass body for now) but I'm unsure what to do about the fact that the scale is slightly thrown off. Do I remove some wood from the body to extend the length of the neck pocket (would also need the pick-guard trimming too)? Have the neck trimmed back? Source a different body? Ideally I'd like to source a better body over time, but now I know the neck isn't right for a generic P-Bass body I'm not so sure of my options, and I don't want to spend too much on getting this right. All advice welcome!

    [quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1396698655' post='2416524'] Bit of an obvious one really, but in my gigging days it was nice not to have to invent excuses to prevent inebriated punters getting their grubby mitts on my livelihood. [/quote] YES!!!!! Have heard many a story of musicians crying as a massive biker wrecks their gear...! Also there's growing your hair long and "being" Paul McCartney if that floats your boat.

    Mine arrives on Friday, really great deal for the neck, delivery and import fees. It's going on to a black bitsa P-Bass, everything black except an all maple neck... Am hoping this is similar quality to a Fender MIM neck?

    Paul_S thank you for posting a link to AWB! Absolutely love them, "Put it where you want it" is an all time favourite of mine. Oh yeah... basses. If your friend leaves it with you that long I think it's yours already surely?!

    I've seen some brand new kack-handed Ricky basses with walnut bodies and maple fretboards... They look amazing, I would love a Ricky, but I'd be so scared of damaging a £2,000 instrument I wouldn't buy one even if I could
  22. uk_lefty
    Can't wait to play it in anger!

    Had this for a month but moved house and only just got all my gear together... Here it is, Trace Elliot rig!! Can't wait to get it properly fired up with a full band[attachment=181791:IMG_1942.JPG]
