[quote name='Bossajazz' post='1159390' date='Mar 12 2011, 03:15 PM']Hello Playbass, Near Newmarket, Suffolk[/quote] How much do these bad boys weigh? Is it lighter than it looks or is JP super strong?

[quote name='giblett123' post='1159446' date='Mar 12 2011, 04:00 PM']Flat seems ok to me too and the asymmetric thing is great! I'll try and sort some clips this week, I'm too low tech at home to get anything like a decent recording.[/quote] Thanks, that'd be great!

Any chance of some finger style sound clips?

Where is your lovely bass?

I was after a 5 string one of these a while back... Tempting. What's the scale length? I'm going out for the morning now. Will probably be sold by the time I get back.

[quote name='Champion Badger' post='1153584' date='Mar 8 2011, 11:20 AM']Bought this a few weeks back brand new. It's a great bass, but being a finger style player, find rosewood is more my thing. I am looking to sell, or do a straight swap for a DJ4 with rosewood board. It's up for sale for £650.[/quote] Fair enough, this lady seems to be mostly a finger style player too. Maybe try it for a bit longer, you may grow to love it, you never know? (If you were closer I'd just be buying this off you instead of encouraging you to keep it though!)

Always wanted to try a 33" bass. Do you have any sound clips of finger style playing? Just to get an idea of the sound. I guess you're going to say the pre amp and pickup switching makes it very versatile, but clips would be awesome.

This is an absolute bargain! Someone buy it quickly before I get myself in trouble!

James[/quote] I play in a loud jazz sextet (think funky drummer and a guitarist who want's to win the decibel competition... no not all that jazzy I suppose!) with one and it was fine. Not enough for loud rock obviously, but they give a great punchy sound. Cool effects too if that's your thing.

[quote name='Adi' post='875847' date='Jun 23 2010, 09:15 PM']As promised here is my Markbass CMD 121P For Sale. It has one month left on the warranty. Bought from Absolute. Gigged folk gig once. Perfect as new condition. Still with box and paperwork. Reluctant sale but I need to use Trains so I 'm going Genz Benz route. You know the score with these. 250 watts. 500 watts with extension cab. Add a Bergy for awsome tone. Great for EUB and DB. PRICE £600[/quote] Nice... where is it?

[quote name='Beneath It All' post='857858' date='Jun 5 2010, 12:09 AM']I'm still looking for the price [/quote] Sorry guys, Didn't realise I'd missed the price off! Thanks to everyone who has pointed it out to me... One of the disadvantages of using an iPod for editing ads.

[quote name='wira' post='857841' date='Jun 4 2010, 11:41 PM']it looks like this is the same bass: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=82333&hl=zon&st=0"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...hl=zon&st=0[/url] or did i miss something ?[/quote] You missed nothing, it is the same bass, which I've owned since Easter.

Back up for sale bump!

I'm just window shopping at the minute but; is that a 3 band eq? Also what's the body made of and what's it weigh? Cheers.

I've received quite a few offers of trades and have to say I'm tempted by one of them... keep the bass amd amp/cab/combo offers coming! Also new photo of the neck profile added above as requested by a basschater. Also a photo of a ding on the top of the headstock, luckily it's where you don't look and it doesn't show up because it's black, all the same I'll include a hardcase or pro gig bag if it goes for the asking price. (I had a dream last night that I received a PM telling me to stop bumping my ad! )

I'm not after it, but where's the bass?

New photos added. Also try me with any nice amps, cabs or combos for part trades.

Was just talking to another basschater about one of these... then yours magically appears! Bet this sale doesn't take long. good luck.

[quote name='Johngh' post='837596' date='May 14 2010, 08:31 PM']Oh God I want this soooooo much.[/quote] It's the kind of bass that would suit someone important enough to have a title as grand as 'Global Moderator'! Oh, suits you sir...

[quote name='malcthebass' post='837680' date='May 14 2010, 10:07 PM']Where are you based? Would it be possible to try it? Thanks Mal[/quote] The bass is in Lincoln and a trial is no problem.

Also it's the bass that Todd Johnson based his signature model on, so that sounds as good as the same as this too.

Machined brass. String spacIng .656"/16.5mm Tuners: Gotoh GB-7 Finish: Black [b]General Review[/b] This bass is unbelievably easy to play; I think this is mostly due to the neck. It is very slim front-to-back and also has a narrow string spacing of 16.5mm. I never thought I had any problems moving across the string on my other basses, but when you play this it is so effortless it makes 'normal' basses feel very agricultural. It also has a super-low action and is easily the most stress-free bass I've ever played. I think this is aslo light weight, for a six-string which makes life generally easier. It's 4.36kg or 9lb 10oz. Reading dots is also made easier as you hardly ever have to change positions, it's like being able to reach the 9th fret whilst in first position, magic! [b]Momma didn't raise no fool! If it's sooooooooooooooooo good then why are you selling it?![/b] I bought this for a jazz project that I was getting involved in, but we couldn't find a drummer So now I'm the drummer as they have found another bass player, who annoyingly can't play drums (hey, at least I'm not playing a g**t*r instead!) And sadly he's happy with his current bass guitar. I think these are closing in on £3000 new ([url="http://www.mansons.co.uk/shopping/categories/zon-bass-guitars/"]See here[/url]) Not really looking for a trade, but if you want to try me with a lightweight combo like a MarkBass or similar plus cash, or a nice cab. maybe even a nice head? Not really after another bass... but you can always try me! I do like a nice jazz. Now includes a free hardcase or pro gig bag if it goes for the asking price.

[quote name='King Tut' post='803054' date='Apr 11 2010, 09:07 PM']I think this used to be my bass. I'm sad to see it getting sold on because it's a beaut - very light as well if it was my old one![/quote] Just Checked and it weighs: 4.07kg or 8lbs 15.5oz (Don't worry King Tut, I do love this bass, really comfortable to play... but it has to go :/ ) Also new photos added!
