More specifically, would trade against Alembic Essence/Elan/Europa/Orion 5 (don't like Rogue, Elan or Series bodies shapes) Sadowsky Metro or NYC 5 (black/oly white/sonic blue/seafowm gree - sorry, not lurid quilt maple tops eg, bright blue/red etc) As usual, would prefer hard cash! Would go down to £1400 for a quick cash deal with handover in London (by quick I mean in next week, or goes back to £1500 ono) -

Google is your friend! "Dimensions: (WxDxH in cm) 33x39x41; Weight: 18kg" [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/orange-smart-power-sp210-bass-guitar-speaker-cabinet-white--63985"]http://www.dv247.com/guitars/orange-smart-...et-white--63985[/url] -
Very nice - I bought an Orange AD200B amp today and am going to end up with a similar setup to yours, albeit likely with a neo-based cab (as my back is a bit dodgy after a slipped disc a few years ago). Very cool!

[quote name='JackLondon' post='879082' date='Jun 27 2010, 06:48 PM']It depends what you've heard... not so great for me [/quote] I presume you are referring to his highlighting some problems in the neck of your Simnett? Maybe the Gallery can do a fret stone and sort it out? Probably better to know than not, and I guess he did get it playing better than it did before.

I own a relic'd Fender-alike but I absolutely agree about the criticism of the heel stamp - it does seem set up for a future scam attempt. My Nash 63 Jazz (seen by those at the BassBash today) has a Fender decal but has Bill Nash's signature in indelible marker on the back of the headstock and the edge of the headstock, thus can quickly be seen as a copy. And no heel stamp. Not that that would give the game away as it doesn't have a period-correct scratchplate or clay dot markers. It just has the general vibe of an old Jazz.

OK a month has elapsed since I put this on ice after heavy pressure from certain quarters! I haven't played it and have had no desire to play it. I am not a fretless person and likely never will be. It's simply too much money tied up in a beautiful bass that's sat in it's case and I can think of other things I could use the money for. So it's back up for £1500 ono or trade against a quality 5'er (Sadowsky, Alembic) PS Chris before you try and dissuade me again I could always buy another fretless at a later date if I ever needed/wanted one but I really can't see that happening! Edit: as this runs to three pages, the best pics are in post 3 (with new Bass Doc-sourced 70's style tort guard on) and post 1 (the Vintage & Rare pics with its original black guard on - which is safely stored in the case)

I was only able to be there for about 90 minutes but really well done to the organizers (essexbasscat etc) Was great chatting to people and slavering over their lovely gear. My fave had to be molan's green Willie Weeks Alleva. Great talk from Bernie Goodfellow too.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='878857' date='Jun 27 2010, 02:36 PM']You mean pairing it up with the Orange, or running a pair of Vintages from the Orange for your new Doom direction?[/quote] One Orange + One Vintage! One day Mr Foxen I will learn what all this "doom" is about

Don't suppose you are driving down near London any time soon as I'm quite interested in this as a pair for my new Orange valve amp (AD200B)?
-
Just sold my Gibson Thunderbird to Norris. Lots of communications and very easy, pleasant transaction. Hope you give it a good airing at the next gig Norris!

Just bought a lovely Orange valve amp (AD200B) off Tyrone. Very friendly and good transaction. Good luck with your next musical project!

Thank the lord - after a run of rubbish gigs with virtually no audience, we played the Archway Tavern in North London this evening and it was a cracker. Decent sized vocal and appreciative audience - reminded me why I started this gigging lark in the first place
-
In case anyone is in North London and stuck for something to do tonight

Very nice Jas. The Sadowsky looks lovely with the chrome cover on
-
If it feels completely smooth and there are no sticky patches wouldn't bother me Is this your black P/j Jon? Can't imagine you would have any trouble selling that one
-
Sold Steve a Thunderbird shaped gig bag. Paid super fast and good comms. Cheers mate!

What's the next step up...Fender Precision Bass Quality
Clarky replied to Musicman20's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Deep Thought' post='877909' date='Jun 26 2010, 02:44 AM']+1 for a Shuker-not necessarily a JJ, but a Shuker Precision.[/quote] My old Shuker JJB was a cut above the 2008-10 new MIA Precisions, and I think they are lovely basses. It felt better put together, all the components and the finishing (paintwork, hand-cut s/p etc) were completely top notch, it hung and played beautifully. The flat, wide but shallow neck was also really comfortable. I only sold it as I went the vintage route with my 72 Precision - which is a wonderful bass but, in truth, no better as a playing instrument than the JJB. -
we use Zed One in Camden (225 Camden Road). Decent enough, not very cheap any more (£48 for 3 hours, after big price rise) but usually can get room at short notice

Yay, he's definitely back! The bells were heard ringing from the highest towers in the land PS, nice bass if anyone notices it
