BOT Bump for a great bass. For some stupid reason I traded mine years ago. doh... As RNF states, a very versitile bass. Was my only bass on the cruise ships for years and you can do pretty much anything on them. hmmmm Where you located soggs? Any issues at all with this bass? Cheers,

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='223798' date='Jun 21 2008, 07:43 PM']The band consists of guitar, bass, drums and vocals and we play classic soul / 60s stuff. Given that, you'd think a P would be the perfect choice really but in our situation, something like a Stingray or a good Jazz is actually better. Because we're playing stuff that normally relies on brass / keys etc etc, I play some of the melody to songs and I need something that's quite full sounding and at the same time, articulate. Truth is, a Precision fills out the bottom end very nicely but they don't have the definition for what we do.[/quote] +1. A nice jazz or stingray will give you more versatility which it sounds like you need in that band setting. You can get a near enough p-bass tone with the jazz if you need that tone. The stingray will get just about eveery tone with a bit more knob tweaking and they cut through better than a jazz IMO. Have you thought of a nice custom from AGC? Might be worth a visit to his shop. You may be able to rent one to try in your band setting. Or, take Pete up on his offer to try one of his. You've played enough different sounding axes to get an idea if the tone would work for you. Good luck Alan.

God that's lovely. Bloody credit crunch

This is sold pending payment etc.. The buyer wants the original pups and plate so the Villex system will be up for sale shortly. Cheers

Little update here. All PM's replied to. Not looking for any trades, sale only. Cheers

If so, will it still fit with the replacement Villex kit?[/quote] The serial number starts with U which according to [b][url="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.blackman4/serial.htm"]this site[/url][/b] dates it to 1995-1996. Not sure of the body wood. It's a three piece body though. It came as you see it, no pick-guard or case. The Villex was mounted on what seems to be a standard control plate, just drilled out so the stacked pots fit. It went on the body using the existing three holes from the original plate with no issues. Hope this helps.

Shave and a hair cut, ... Bump Bump Man the market is flat. Nobody wants a great playing and great sounding jazz bass for a good price. I must add, price is negotiable.

Hi all, I recently bought this from a chap in Harrogate because the price was great. It plays lovely after some tweaking. I was never convinced about the tone of the original pups so I bought a second hand set of [b][url="http://eu.villex.com/pickups.html"]Villex V2JLH pups[/url][/b] and a control plate loaded with stacked vols, Villex rotary mid control and a passive tone control which has improved the tone exponentially. It gets a very big range of usable tones now, all of which sit great in a mix and in a live setting. The only tone I'm not 100 percent on is the full front pickup but I don't use that tone often, I have a P-bass for that. this bass has been played and has battle scars so if you're looking for clean, this ain't it. It's a players work horse bass that I was using as my backup on gigs. For sale with or without the Villex. I still have the original pups and control plate which are included. I have an extra bridge that I'll chuck in for nowt. I'd advise keeping the Villex to be honest. I don't have a case for it but will buy something cheap to ship it in or, take the neck off and ship the neck and body more safely. Price is £350 with Villex, £250 without plus P&P. I'm in Wakefield if you want to check it out. Advertised else where. Here's some pics.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='202265' date='May 19 2008, 04:58 PM']that sadowsky is incredibly tempting, il have to get back to you on that, chances are it will be sold within the next hour though [/quote] Bump for great tone shapers, especially the Sadowsky. These are great boxes, I've had three. First one bought years ago and gave it to a friend in the Caribbean. Second bough used and wore it out. Now I have the floor DI model. They really add a lovely touch to any sound, active or passive.

PM to you sir
