    I had front row seat at Hammersmith Odeon on British Steel tour. Touched Rob's leather boot ... oooo err

    For full disclosure,the truss rod nut is quite recessed. However, it turns fine as far as I can tell. Its currently nearly maxed anticlockwise due to low tension TI Flats (I tightened it clockwise to check it turns and then returned it back to close-to-max anticlockwise)

    Last price adjustment before it goes back in case: £1350 now including UK delivery or £1325 collected

    For a reasonable price too https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195594111499?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ydtvbm3ot0o&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=eqlPJw_SSty&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Good times (Rappers Delight) also for me

    This is what I do. I have also seen recommendations for carefully bending each string along the length over your fingers, which presumably stretches and loosens the windings - although I would be nervous about causing damage

    Sign of the times. Despite being the lowest priced AVRI 62 Jazz I have seen on eBay and fully £600 (33%) cheaper than the other listed AVRI 62 Jazz, it didn't sell. Oh well. That means its still available to you lovely BC folks!
  8. Clarky
    Thanks Andy. Its also on eBay (at a price that reflects eBay fees). The auction finishes this evening and there's 21 watchers. I would rather this stayed in the BC community, however, as its a lovely bass in all respects bar (for me) the weight!

    Bump!

    Reopened and price cut to £1350 plus delivery cost. Sorry, no trades

    Alternatively, you could get the valve-driven sound you love at acceptable home listening levels by using an attenuator such as this: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Bugera-Power-Soak-Passive-100-Watt-Guitar-Amp-Power-Attenuator/223F?origin=product-ads&gclid=CjwKCAiAlp2fBhBPEiwA2Q10D7u0c0IBc8lAjvItdK08jewJE7cjyh0oM2aMX6xex8av9y-wQ4Ih3BoCUrAQAvD_BwE

    Recently acquired on the forum. Fabulously mojo'd, believed to be all-original AVRI 62 Jazz. Plays beautifully (with nicely worn in TI Jazz Flats), looks cool AF. I love everything about this bass apart from the weight. Due to a miscommunification (copyright George W Bush), it comes in at 10.18 pounds rather than the sub 9 pounds I had understood. Unfortunately my back cannot tolerate >9 pounds. Comes in generic hard case. Collection SW London, south of Hammersmith Bridge, or deliver within UK for £30. Asking what it owes me, a bargainaceous £1130. Edit: £999 plus post.

    Agree. There is one FS on BassChat right now for over £10k - not going to diss the guy, I wish him well with his sale, even though I last sold a Wal fretless only 4/5 years ago for £3k. Its the market

    I haven't heard back from Also Eden chap so assume he also drew a blank

    BassBros just got a 67 P bass, one owner and with unusual factory fitted Mustang tuners https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1967-fender-precision-bass/

    This thread got me thinking: do all you users of decent preamps, eg BassRig SVT or Fender emulators, Sansamp or Broughton SVT pedal, go through the effects return? If not then surely your bass is going through two tone stacks which adds two kinds of colour and kind of negates trying to sound like an SVT/Fender etc?
  18. Clarky
    I am not normally a fan of modding an original/vintage bass but your Mustang looks the bees knees @ped

    Andy Baxter has a 66 lightly-mojo'd Jazz thats all original bar one pickup rewound for £200 less - I know what I would rather spend my money on if I had a spare £7k+ floating around! https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/bass-guitars/products/1966-fender-jazz-bass-sunburst

    Gorgeous. Thinks to self: do I really want to go short-scale only? 🤔
  21. Clarky
    Mwah ha ha

    Another faulty listing. They have a fretless Hofner violin bass listed, which I was quite interested to read about as I have never seen one before. Link: And here is where you end up when clicking on link (specs underneath mention number of frets etc 🙄)

    If you take price and quality into account, I have had the most joy (as far as roundwounds are concerned) with DR Sunbeams and DR Pure Blues. Round rather than hexagonal core wire, which makes them more pliable, and being nickel are IMHO much easier on the fingers than stainless steel. For a 34" long scale bass, try the 40-100 gauge (similar tension to TI Jazz Flats)

    NBD: Gibson SG

    Clarky replied to grayn's topic in Bass Guitars

    Lovely, I recently picked up a satin black 2009 SG bass as a stand-in while my custom Serek shortie is being made (a year wait) and I MUCH prefer it to the several gloss nitro finished SG basses I had previously cycled through (loved the looks, didn't like the fat glossy neck). In particular, the satin nitro neck finish feels worn in and hugely more comfortable than the more upmarket version and - dare I say - quite similar to my existing Serek Midwestern. Great score, grayn!

    If it helps, every 1964 Custom Shop relic I googled - including from those made around the same period - had a quarter sawn neck.
