  1. I love this....alas, bought too much of late....glwts
  2. I think fender went backwards with the ultra....gone is the adjustable through body bridge...also, no carbon rods in the neck....seems a cost cutting exercise to me!!!...go with Sandberg...far better build quality.
  3. Looking on the talkbass site it would seem the preamp is more of a weak link....one guy changed his pickup's a few times then went back to the mk1's
  4. Up for sale is a pair of ACG 5 string jazz pickups....got these as a spare pair of pickups with my ACG jazz which i sold some time ago these are made by Aaron Armstrong to ACG specs.......i believe these to be humbuckers as the bass i sold had single coils......these would be great for a project bass or to replace existing pickups. measurements are L-11CM.....W2.5CM
  5. Up for sale is a sadowsky on- board preamp...........lovely usable pre with a great tone, plus the vintage tone control works in both passive and active.....price includes shipping (uk).....NOTE.....can be removed from bell plate and arranged in diamond pattern as per M5
  6. I had an ibanez with the Aguilar super double pickup's and they didn't do it for me...I quite like a jazz like tone but with the ability to get nasty when you dig in!....not keen on too much bottom, prefer good definition.... does that make any sense.
  7. Well, I have just bagged myself a lovely used 5501 at a very reasonable price.... anyways, I plan to upgrade the preamp and pickup's... nothing much wrong with the current setup but the bass strikes as a perfect platform for some tasty upgrades.....just to say, I had a 5502 but I could never quite achieve the tone I was after...I would be grateful for some ideas?
  8. Cheers for the comment, yes, not many around and a cracking bass 👍
  9. Some interesting offers but nothing concrete.... cheers for the comment brother Jones, yes it's a great bass.
  10. Lovely looking bass that.... Karl is a top geezer as well...deal with confidence.
  11. Up for sale is my yamaha trb4, lovely bass in great condition....at 8.3 lbs, light weight, with a lively resonant tone 3 piece maple neck (centre section quarter sawn) and a lovely dark rosewood fingerboard...high quality, well made bass in original condition, plays beautifully!....happy to consider trade of equal value or more, maybe a nice 5 string
  12. Agree with you Nik..... such a good bass, love mine!!.... some great vids on YouTube where you can hear the tone, also the build quality is up there with the best.
  13. cheers guys, i think i will just keep the old pots safe, i will never sell the bass anyway!
  14. I have had all three pots replaced on my 79 stingray because they were so worn and noisy.....Now, is it possible to get the old pots rebuilt ?
  15. Bobby Dazzler that one Karl.....love the colour.
  16. Great bass for the money!!...I also like the sadowsky knobs and you could add a jazz pickup should you want to....hmm
  17. very nice, and only being 9lbs a rarity
  18. yes, it was spot on.....many thanks
  19. Lovely bass, can I ask the weight?
  20. Fabulous basses, I have both a 4 and a five string....I think Yamaha got the design right with this model, being a 34 inch scale... also lighter weight than the model's that followed.
  21. Does any kindly person have the transcription of the above?....plus living in the past would be a help Cheers folks
  22. Very well made basses and good quality hardware...glwts
  23. Sold a tc electronic bc 208 to Kier....nice smooth transaction...absolute gent
  24. check handles first, if they are ok, chances are the 15 inch speaker bolts/screws could have vibrated loose....this has happened to me before...also worth checking the wires inside cab are fastened securely
  25. I have one in high gloss blue and have to agree, a lovely bass.... mine is staying put!
