Having just bought one of these with an original handbook I can tell you the official specs are:

Truss rod: Press down E string on 1st and 16th fret. Relief should be 0.25 - 0.4 mm at 7th fret.
String height: 0.2 more than standard, vis. 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.9 +/- 0.2mm
Pick up from string gap 3mm

unless i got the wrong end of the stick these are easy to get on ebay. couplea quid, purpose built 8mm socket, worked on my bb300 any road

You have - or should have - PM

i got dunlops which look similar - also punch full sound

This is gorgeous, I'm in love. You have done such a good job. And at that price it's a steal. Sadly I've no money too - so I'm out (but still in love)

now sold .... ta

Fender Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass with natural finish and two chrome pickup covers for that authentic seventies look. Or just keep the neck cover on for a passable Marcus Miller copy. Taking either of the covers off isn't a problem, leaving just small screw holes that can't be seen from more than a few feet away.

Passive bass, maple neck with black binding and block inlays and two Seymour Duncan Jazz Bass pickups. Sweet playing narrow neck, excellent low quick action.

Excellent condition. This is almost new and I am only the second owner. Recently set up by professional guitar tech.
One centimetre long fine crack in the hard finish over the natural wood (almost impossible to photograph). Slight matte hazing of fine scratches on pickguard. Very slight scuffs on the chrome of the neck pickguard. That's it, otherwise lovely.

Comes with Marvel strap locks + mid blue padded faux leather Gaucho strap. TruBass black nylon coated strings with plenty of life left.

Sorry, UK sale only. Collection and cash sale preferred but will post and use PayPal.

£250 oo Post £15

Peavey. Any of them

+10. I had a Peavey Grind 5 which had the greatest sound, great setup and just jumped into your lap to be played. Beautiful wood too, thru body neck and stringing. Got it for £175 and sold it on for the same.

I would disagree about it having to be a 4-string bass for a beginner. If you know you are going to need the extra notes and versatility of a 5-string go for it straight away. What I would say though is that at your budget you'll very lucky to get a 5-string that is actually any good, whereas there a plenty of fine 4-string basses available for that kind of money.
[/quote]You can be lucky. The secret of a good 5 string lies in having the slightly longer 35" scale the low B string needs. Check out the Peavey Grind. Despite the awful name these are made of fantastic exotic wood (that would be better left in the forest holding up parrots, but that's another rant), through body neck and through body stringing and can be had for £200 (€250?) or less secondhand and only €400 new. I just had one and loved it to bits.

pmd you

oo, i say, i suppose that was a little bass of me... Ah well, can't win them all. i'd even suggest you might want my hohner 6 in exchange but you said you don't want trades and i'm not totally sure i'd want to do that either. good luck anyway and do you keep a troshing, as we say round ere

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [strangling sounds]... in the last 48 hours I had persuaded myself what I needed was a nice 2nd hand SVMJB. Did the whole window shopping and fantasy trip. And you're barely 10 miles from me. Then Mrs Lownote pointed out I need a smaller amp to save my back trying to get a 15 incher down the stairs everytime I go out and wouldn't it be nice to pay the rent for once. Life is SO unfair....

.. and I don't suppose you ever come north(er) do you? it's just that you're a 150 mile round trip from me..

hi can you pm me a phone number/email address. i'd like to do a deal on the Laney ASAP, subject to viewing /trying n stuff. tnx

Very interested in one of other. need something not too powerful or too weak for jazz. currently have a TE Series 6 which is too noisy and too heavy. when are you in?

Hohner BBass 6 string? Immaculate, prob worth a little more than your VMJB but certainly different.

sold

Oh, sigh. I only live up the road and this is SO lovely. But could I face raspberry everytime I played. Dunno. Still the details look the mutt's. Good luck, somone must take it at this price.

My delicious Peavey is now redundant, having been replaced by a Hohner 6.

Thru body neck and thru body stringing too, just like much more expensive guitars.

Despite the hideous name, this passive 5 string has a strong punchy tone and looks great. It sounds good because the 35 inch scale unleashes the full energy of the B and E strings. It looks good because the wings are beautifully figured Brazilian walnut. (Yes I know it would look nicer still living and holding up parrots but there's not much I can do about that now).

Condition A1, it's not left my room since I bought it almost new. Only the odd tiny scratch or mark. Plenty of life left in the D'Addario strings and fully setup.

Looking for £225 + £15 postage. Based Norfolk/Suffolk border, near Diss if you want to save the postage. Cash on collection. If I'm posting it, I will accept a cheque but you will have to wait until the funds have cleared before I despatch the item. Although it's convenient I don't want to do Paypal because of their swingeing fees.

[b]Fender Rumble 30[/b]

The newer model with metal protective corners. A practice amp that's also powerful enough for pub gigs supporting a folk band or similar.

Bought this a year ago when I took up bass. It's been a brilliant beginner's amp but I've now moved on and it would be a shame if the Fender wasn't used.

Since purchase it's never left my bedroom so there are zero knocks, scrapes or scratches. It's never been turned up beyond half on the volume knob. It's as new.

£120. It's light enough not to be a burder carrying it, but it would be awkward and expensive to post so ideally collection only with cash on collection. I'm on the Norfolk/Suffolk border near Diss.

I can't post pix at the moment but will. In the meantime, express an interest and we can take it from there.
