WITHDRAWN Hey all, decided to sell my Mexican PJ Deluxe bass. It's a great sounding and playing instrument, but I really just want a straight up P, so I'm selling a couple of bits in order to get me cash for a nice one. It's black with a maple board and a gold scratch plate. All the stuff is the same as when I bought it, except I've popped a new bridge on. It's a simple cheap one for £15 from North West Guitars, as recommended to me on here. Works a treat and I'll include the original BBOT Fender one for you. So the bass is in good condition, plays great, sounds great, had it set up and given a good ol going over by a tech in Brighton recently, too. The only issue is a cosmetic one, a wearing away of the gold on the scratch plate. You should be able to see that in the pictures below. Anyway, I can't think of anything else to tell you, great bass, looks good and sounds good. Gigged with it a good handful of times over the summer and its great, proper reliable. It'll be a shame not to have her in my arsenal anymore but I can't stop looking at Maruszczyks right now and the GAS is getting the better of me. Happy to post within the UK, couriered via UPS most likely (once I find some bubble wrap), and also very happy to meet within Sussex to exchange the bass, that would be easier for me as well at the moment as I'm a bit of a busy bee. The bass will come in the hard case it was supplied to me in, which is a black Guvnor one with Fender logo. Payment through PayPal or bank transfer please, with Paypal fees taken into account (within reason). The price is the same that I paid for it on here a few months back, so no silly silly offers please. I am open to trades, though I am really only looking for a passive 4 string Precision right now. Anything Fender/Sandberg/G&L/Lakland/Maruszczyk would be great, but I really don't have much extra cash to add to a trade deal, if any right now. Any questions or more pics required, feel free to ask! Cheers Ollie [attachment=231897:IMAG1203.jpg] [attachment=231898:IMAG1204.jpg] [attachment=231899:IMAG1205.jpg] [attachment=231900:IMAG1206.jpg] [u][color=#ff0000][b]WITHDRAWN couldn't bear to part with it after playing it again yesterday.

Bump. Lots of interest but nothing solid. Make me an offer or throw a p bass at me and see what happens!

Hi all, selling my Malekko Bassmaster fuzz. Bought about a 18 months ago through here, great fuzz pedal, loud, versatile and aggressive. Works great with actives too, which is mainly why I bought it. Selling because I have a few fuzzes, haven't used this in the while and I now need the monies!! Works great, no issues, electronically, cosmetically or otherwise except a tiny nick off the surface sticker. Anyway, I'm asking £130 first class posted within the UK. It has no box or bits with it but it will be well packaged. Pic en route! NOW SOLD THANKS

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1473960418' post='3134572'] Good to hear you like the bridge. WRT the volumes issue, are the strings the same height/distance from the pups? Which strings are louder/quieter? [/quote] I've actually been trying to sort this for a while, I did think it was the bridge that was the source of the issue due to the irregular saddle movement. It's only noticeable in a band mix, the e thunders through but the rest (especially the A) sort of vanish into the mix, haven't had a bass do that before. I've mucked about with pickups and saddles but didn't really figure it out...

Well I got a new bridge from Northwest, seems decent, the odd rattle but nothing that's too worrying, already fixed the problematic bridge, so quite pleased with that, thanks all. I seem to be getting uneven string volumes again (had it before on this bass) Might have to drop it to a tech for that part. Thanks for your help all.

BUMP, thanks Jaybass!

I visited the Northwest website and purchased myself a nice little chrome jobby. Measurements look like they line up almost exactly. Should be here tomorrow so I'll post them with an update!

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1473678841' post='3132134'] yup... in fact I'm a fan of those bridges as I can set the string spacing the way I want it (a bit wider than usual). I guess I've been lucky because I've had no problems so far with mine. No, I am not looking to buy another but it should sell ok and cover the cost of a standard BBOT Fender bridge with deeper grooves. [/quote] Aye, a quick look around suggests people like these bridges! Though I'm not sure what BBOT stands for, but seems to yield the right results. I like the Gotoh that Lozz suggested so far, it's giving me confidence just looking at it, only £40ish on Amazon, too. So I've looked at the size of the 201B4, (http://g-gotoh.com/international/product/201b-4.html), which look almost the same as my current bridge... I'm a bit unsure that I'm going to order it and it won't fit though.... Can I make it fit or are all 5 screw /4 string bridges the same?

Bump! Throw me a trade or an offer!

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1473664990' post='3131984'] Good news is that old bridge has good resale value for people building their own vintage style bitsa basses! [/quote] Really? Well that is some good news!
-
[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1473665040' post='3131987'] Gotoh 201 is a straight fit for MIM Fenders, and is quite reasonably priced. [/quote] Cheers, I shall check it out!

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1473634836' post='3131916'] the strings used to move around on the saddle while I was playing [/quote] That too! Nightmare! [quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1473659253' post='3131953'] clear nail varnish works a treat. Plenty of other fender and non fender (Babicz, Gotoh)out there - make sure you get one with five screws! [/quote] I'll remember that trick... The next question then, in looking for a new bridge is how do I know it will fit? I've looked at lots of bridges already but not all of them match up, dimensions wise. Do I have to keep shopping around for a perfect replacement or do I have to do a bit of DIY first? [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1473662173' post='3131963'] Other than going for the branded bridges, Northwest Guitars do some great bridges for little money. [url="http://www.northwestguitars.co.uk/bass-bridges/"]http://www.northwest...k/bass-bridges/[/url] [/quote] Nice and cheap, looks great, I'll head there first when I know what I'm after! Thank you chaps.

Earlier this year I bought myself a nice early 00s Mexican deluxe PJ bass. Sounds and plays great except the bridge is basically a bit crap. It has no grooves and the saddles don't sit right and tonight I found they kept lowering quite significantly after every 2 or so songs. Basically I want to know what I could to do improve the bridge, or, if I'd be better off getting a new one and if so, what should I be looking for? I'll stick a better picture up later!

For sale or trade is my Ibanez ATK 400. This is a fantastic bass, one that has never let me down and always delivered the goods. I'm selling because I have too many unused basses. This bass is in almost perfect condition in every way and has never had anything go wrong with it in its 5/6 years with me. Easy to set up and maintain, solid and versatile. I'm asking £225. I'd rather meet for the sale and am happy to drive a sensible distance, mostly anywhere in Sussex as I'm based in worthing. Trade wise I'm interested only in 4 strings, preferably passive for now and preferably Precision style. Also keen on Jazz / Jaguar / Thunderbirds, but P bass is a fave right now. Also open to pedals for trades. If you want me to post, Im happy to do so but drop me a message and I'll sort something out. Feel free to ask any questions! PRICE DROP TO £225 [attachment=227004:IMAG0827.jpg]

Bought Mike's Fuzzrocious Grey Stache, great comms, perfect postage and top notch packaging, a pleasure to deal with. Cheers, Mike! Ollie
