[quote name='Jigster' post='631507' date='Oct 20 2009, 04:42 PM']were u able to counteract this by rolling treble back on your bass?[/quote] Yes i could, it had a very usable sound especially when used with my Sansamp but my mistake, mine was a Bassmaster 30 watt amp as below. Cheers Dave

Been after one of these for years ever since i blew up two Bassman 135s in the early 90s. Gorgeous, deep and warm. Using this one solely for in house and recording, Comes with the original vinyl cover and is in great nick. Sounds great through my HH 4x12b but might look for fender silver grill 412 or 215. Thanks to Charla for the sale.

Bought a Fender Bassman tonight from Charla, collected it from his house after numerous detailed emails. What a lovely bloke and what a great amp Cheers Mate Dave

I owned one for a few months and had it restored/ covering and capacitors. Very loud amp but also VERY bright, had to have the bass on full and treble on 0 to get a usable tone.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='620928' date='Oct 8 2009, 07:52 PM']Sorry Old Git, but I'm not sure about this. To me, funk needs space, which is why the original works so well.[/quote] +1 I think he ruins it with too many notes, very rare i will say that but the original grooves impeccably and this version sounds like a student over playing on an assessment, trying too hard to be funky. Sorry Dave

[url="http://www.kentonuk.com/"]http://www.kentonuk.com/[/url] I have used these and a friend (orgon systems) developed products with and for them. These blokes are absolute midi genii??? (spelling) Im not sure of the collective of genius................anyway, they seem to do a kit for every piece of gear or could advise you of possible sources of research. They arent cheap but you have the option of self assembly or they can fit. Hope this helps Dave

[quote name='WarPig' post='618251' date='Oct 6 2009, 10:10 AM']Quite like it If the serial is legit its a 61 neck, so as he said its not the original.[/quote] I think the serial numbers were on the neck plate until 1975 during that year they moved to the face of the headstock. My 75 Jazz has its serial number on the neck plate and my 78 precision has its on the face of the headstock.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='609520' date='Sep 26 2009, 07:46 PM']A '76 450B [/quote] Oh My You not in a mind to sell this are you? Cheers Dave

They were actually made for the Inner London Education Authority and are referred to as ILEA basses. Made as set neck basses for the schools with iirc emg selects and M3 bridges and schaller machines, they were sold for around 200 quid and they made very little money on them surprisingly enough Dave
