Nice collection. I never noticed before that the ASAT's have a thinner headstock - I guess this is an attempt to reduce neck dive?

[quote name='Mr Fudge' post='136935' date='Feb 9 2008, 12:13 AM']cheers, would you wait for a vintage p then?[/quote] If you want something that's appreciating in value quickly a Fullerton reissue is a good bet. -

[quote name='mcgraham' post='136086' date='Feb 7 2008, 09:38 PM']Ooo, that is such a quality bit of gear, at a phenomenal price too! I'm extremely tempted to snap this up but reason has prevailed, I have a series III Clarus, I don't need more than one channel and I certainly don't need that much power! May I ask why you're moving it on? I know you've said you're looking for something for recording and smaller gigs, is this just too much amp for all that? Mark[/quote] Mark, Glad you're happy with the Clarus. You may not be aware of it but if you're handy with a soldering iron and a drill you could upgrade this to the two channel version. They use the same circuit board for both amps but only load one channel on this version. -
A 66 reissue? Are you sure? Looks like the 75 to me. Only 66 reissue that I'm aware of is the Noel Redding jazz. Bullet truss rods weren't used until '71, and although Fender Japan don't get all the details correct I don't think they'd produce something like this as a 66.

[quote name='Musky' post='130262' date='Jan 29 2008, 07:54 PM']As far as I'm aware supply voltage hasn't actually been changed in this country. The EU specified a range of voltages which encompassed those already in use across Europe. There's always some variation in supply voltage, and in practice the change in nominal supply voltage just meant UK suppliers had to keep more of an eye on the upper limit.[/quote] Yes, that's exactly what happened. We're still 240V.

I've been keeping an eye on this. Have you any means at all of packaging for courier delivery? A large diameter plastic pipe or similar?

Pretty slim I'd say. I sold a 4 string Scheff on here last year, because I'd found a 5'er, and it took me ages to find one. Funny thing is the 5'er came with a buggered neck, so at the end of the day I was Scheffless... [quote name='dmz' post='122387' date='Jan 17 2008, 07:08 PM']All you Lakland lovers out there....... What would be the chances of finding a 5-string Jerry Scheff these days. Armstrong stopped making the 5-string pick-ups - forcing Dan to stop making them - is that right ? I really am kicking myself for not getting one a couple of years ago. If anyone has one they may be letting go of in the near future please get in touch ! Bill[/quote]

It's pretty bad form to make a profit on gear you buy here ...

I guess he was having an off day... In the grand plan it's no big deal, it's just that I was so looking forward to getting it. Hope the one for my 50's classic goes better. Tort on honey blonde - Hmmm!

Pretty disappointed with Jeannies ... Got the new red tort yesterday for my BG. Had a look at it and was surprised how poorly finished the edges were, where bits has broken off. For an $85 guard I thought the quality would have been better. Oh well, not worth the effort returning. Tried to fit it today only to find out that it's quite a bit different to the stock guard. The holes pretty much line up (bar one which is a bit off) - or at least they will if I file a bit of guard of next to the neck, but the PUP cut out is about 2-3mm off from the original. So, I can either move the PUP (but I do prefer it to be under the strings!) or end up with a large gap if I file out the hole. I was going to buy a few more guards if this one was OK but I think I'll try pickguardian instead. Or maybe try making one myself.

I'm amazed that this is still here.

Sold off-line - thanks to everyone who expressed an interest.

M-Pulse 600, about 3 years old, scratches on top and side (from rack), everything works. Looking for £500. Having trouble with isp/bt/phoneline atm (am lucky if I can connect for 5 min - with speeds of about 3kb!) so will upload pics when I can, but no marks front or rear. In fact I'll throw in rack as well (plywood Aluminium thing from Thomman).

You can pretty much ignore the fundamental for a bass, for example if you play an open E it'll generate much more O/P at it's 2nd harmonic (82) than 41Hz. In a band situation you want to have plenty of mid freq content, say 100-150 to a few hundred. Of course if you're into fingerboard gymnastics or bass soloing (or other bedroom stuff that nobody else wants to hear) then you might need a bit of high end to your sound.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='105165' date='Dec 17 2007, 07:43 AM']There is NO difference between MIJ and CIJ.[/quote] Well, one has 'Made' in place of a 'Crafted', and erm... that's it. They're all CIJ now - have been for years. I've noticed this 'MIJ is better than 'CIJ' nonsense on ebay as well, more often than not by sellers trying to sell bottom of the range battered basswood bodied instruments for twice the new price.

Dudepit V4 now up...
-
It's interesting that the highest offer I had for this CIJ [topic="8952"]two for a pound?[/topic] was 70p - and I think that was a joke!
-
Yes, I'm just being a bit naughty and tweaking his tail. I think it's probably a bit overpriced unless it's somehow preferable to a new CIJ (considering they're about £510 delivered to your door) hence my question. Of course one advantage of buying this one is that the potential buyer has the chance to play this one before parting with the folding - but if the quality is *so* good then there's little risk of buying direct, is there?
-
I see, MIA bad, MIJ good. So how about CIJ then, looks like the OP thinks they're bad.

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='105077' date='Dec 16 2007, 09:55 PM']No trades, trying to slim the collection, would just keep this if not![/quote] How old is this one? I had Tokai Jaco tribute bass in the early eighties and it was really superb - build quality was top notch. One of the one's that shouldn't have got away. In fact I traded in a special order Fullerton '62 reissue Precisions (one of a pair of Fiesta red ones with consecutive serial numbers) for one. Looking back that shouldn't have got away either... -
[quote name='musicman1' post='104796' date='Dec 15 2007, 10:55 PM']fender jazz 75 ressiue made in japan [not crafter in japan] so much better than an a American fender this is built very well. in natural colour with a black[/quote] So why's this better than a MIA then?

On hold for dub_junkie. Yes, sorry about the lack of pics, I'm up to my neck in work at the moment - I'll get em up as soon as I can take a breather.

There goes the peace and quiet!
