    Morning all, [b]**SOLD**[/b] I am selling my Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass V (5 String) The bass is heavily modified with:[list] [*]Hipshot string retainer [*]ABM webster 6250b brass nut [*]Tortoiseshell pickguard (I will supply the original black pickguard) [*]East J-Retro deluxe preamp ([url="http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/j-retro/j-retro-01-deluxe.html"]http://www.east-uk.c...-01-deluxe.html[/url]) [*]Coil tap switches for each pickup 3 position (Front coil, Both coils, Rear Coil) [/list] The bass is massively versatile; between using the blend control on the East preamp and the coil tap selection there is a range of tones available. The action is low and the strings are pretty fresh. All in all it is a good all round gigging bass with a wide range of tones and easy to play. Controls: Stacked Volume Blend (front and rear pickup) Stacked Bass Treble with pull boost Stacked Mid Mid sweep (frequency range) Tone (active and passive) Switches; Straight output from both pickups - Blend defeat) active on and off.....You can use the bass passively if you have a battery failure. I am based in West London, local collection is possible or a meet around 20 miles from my location. I can package the bass up if you want to organise your own courier You can hear the bass being played in this phone cam montage from a recent gig, this is not my video and I have no idea who recorded it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp47gB_zJNk I am open to offers.....but not trades.

    New Neck....

    aende replied to aende's topic in Bass Guitars

    [quote name='Manton Customs' timestamp='1402407272' post='2473109'] We could make you neck or mod your existing one . Check out the website if interested. [/quote] Aha! Could you put graphite rods in the old neck?

    New Neck....

    aende posted a topic in Bass Guitars

    Fender Modern Player Jazz v Nice bass, nice neck......however, I want to make the neck a bit lighter as it does suffer from neck dive. Cue Hipshot ultralite tuners.....sadly, they do not fit the pegholes. Looks like instruments from Fender China are all metric. A warmoth replacement neck will not fit, the neck the provide would be too long. So, I can either have a fair bit of mod to the old neck......or get a new neck built. The question; Anyone know any really good Luthiers in West London/Slough area? Or Who makes really good necks - known builder?

    Hiya, This happened to my corvette - been like this for years. I would say 'don't panic' - still okay. You have to replace the entire nut, you can get them from Warwicks webstore, they are simple to fit.
  12. aende
    On Hold.
  13. aende
    The strings are about a month old and barely used.....i have an old semi used spare set that can go with the bass.
  14. aende
    No case, may be able to rustle up a gig bag.....i use a double gigbag, hence no case. It has a super low action. However, i am favouring my 5 string jazz atm.....we have a couple of tunes that require a 5...
  15. aende
    Yep - still available. I still have the BT1, unfitted and boxed. £650 without BT1 £675 with BT1 It is not too clear above in the myriad of posts...PM me.

    odb3 mod

    aende replied to aende's topic in Effects

    [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1400189408' post='2451751'] However, an ODB3 is never going to be a Darkglass/SVT in a box machine, regardless of how you mod it. In my mind, it is great for that '90s interpretation of heavy bass tones; a clean and bright signal with a hair of fizz on the top. It packs a lot of gain from the off, so it makes sense to blend in a lot of clean to keep it all in check. [/quote] Actually, it compares very nicely to the old SVT 450 that I own - it is not too far off and I think that the 1n4148's make a huge difference.......

    Anyone? Still not being used!

    Thanks dude, now down to £650

    odb3 mod

    aende posted a topic in Effects

    Hi all, i was finding my boss odb3 a bit to shrill and basically, not a nice useable distortion. Roll on a mod; c10: 1uf r31: 1k c8: .001uf for more smoother compressed tone, change d2 and d3 to 1n4148's the above components are available on ebay for about £5 in total. I used a sprague .001 uf capacitor (as used in guitars fir tone controls) anyway, i am no professional electronics whizz and my general soldering is 'okay' - but it was dead easy to find the components on the board desolder and solder in the new bits. the pedal has gone from shrill and a difficult to eq to sounding like a tube amp that has been turned up. Much softer, more compression and 'phatter'.... a huge difference for a couple of quid. Pm me and I will send you component links.

    Will also consider px for dura ace bike parts or a fender strat or telecaster guitar.

    The rotosound b is just dead and undefined. I was replacing a set of worn d'addarios....the d'addario low b had more zing to it.
