    Change of plan - back up for sale - makes absolutely no sense having this and it not being played!

    That’s it, still good fun, and for me it’s the taking part that counts, and hearing what others have made of it. I genuinely can’t imagine anyone other than me wanting to hear one of my tunes more than once anyway, so maybe it’s best they are spared the experience in the first place? 😂😊

    Urgh @police squad you got me GAS’ing again - Rics were my first love as a kid, and I’ve not had one for 15 years… 🤔😬 Looks great 👌

    I’ve only got 2 basses now, one is a Custom Shop Jazz that feels divine, and remarkably just like my old 1964 Jazz. I’ve had truly brilliant USA Standards too, and played some pretty poor/average Custom Shops, including Pinos (dare I say it here ). A few years ago I had a great Mexican 50s P Bass, and a fine AVRI, but I just prefer the quality of the Custom Shop, and don’t need a P and a Jazz as Ps were mostly a gigging bass for me - but if I was still able to gig then the Mex would have been great with a Fralin pickup (and I say that as a person that used to gig with an original 1964 & 1966 P). A lot of Jap Fenders are Basswood bodies - not a huge issue really - but as a traditionalist I prefer alder or ash on a Fender.

    I think ‘relative’, for me, is the key here as the prices for US gear has gone up so much over the past 3-5 years. But it was always priced well for the spec I thought with the quartersawn neck and electrics. Just my opinion.

    Well, I'm not stalking you - that date was a bit specific 😂 I entered this comp for a few months in 2017 (but then stopped when I started a degree and later lost access to a DAW) - there was a comp I entered with a picture of an alien invasion, and I seem to remember your tune from that.
  9. Chiliwailer
    I think I remember that tune, was it the April 2017 comp?
  10. Chiliwailer
    Looking forward to hear your next tunes 👍

    Thanks man, appreciated. I think between us we’ve created a balance given your (really pro sounding) track represents probe anxiety 😊

    Thanks man, really appreciated, was fun to make. Liking your jam too, think I can hear some Pentangle too in between Syd’s psychedelics 😊

    Thanks to @Leonard Smalls amazing experience and photo... Jammin' with E.T. - is inspired by how I imagine it'd sound when jamming with E.T. at 30,000 feet.

    Sometimes a screw or nail is used in the neck pocket when a body is being refinished on the rear part; they likely would have used an existing screw hole by the bridge as well, but the existing neck pocket screws are large, hence the new hole.

    This is an exceptional bass, but the length of it exacerbates my nerve pain, and no matter how incredible the tone is I need something a bit smaller that sits in a different position, like a Music Man. These are Jazz Bass size, with one extra fret, so a touch longer. I think that the magic of this bass is in the pickup, and not the pre amp as some folk have written online. I'm lucky enough to have bought a used pickup, which is pretty amazing as these basses are rare, so I'll be putting it into what ever bass I replace this one with - it has a huge output and sculpted tone. A maximum of 550 of these were made, with 250-275 in silver and the same amount in pink. This is another reason I've been reluctant to let it go; and also why I'm not all desperate to trade it - this advert is just out of curiosity to see if there's anything out there. Made in USA for about 2-3 years, this one from 2019. Weighs approx 9.33lbs / 4.23kg It's in a 9.5/10 condition, with just a few tiny marks on the back. Quatersawn neck, alder body, compound radius fingerboard, Tim Shaw designed pickup, Aguilar OBP-1, BA style bridge.... It's a beast. Comes with the original case and all candy. I have a box, but the buyer would need to arrange the courier.

    I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there was routing under the pickguard, for active electronics and a battery, probably installed years back. The guard is likely original. As @MrFingers already pointed out, the nail holes suggest the body to be original Fender (but earlier). This could be a really great ‘player’s bass’ (I.e. vintage but not collectible) at the end of the day.

    Served me well over the years - marks from use, but not abused, and still works great. I think I have a spare USB cable too, if you need it just let me know and I’ll have a proper look and include it. £25 and UK post included.

    One listen and the hooks were stuck in my head 👍👌

    As new, perfect condition. Came with my AVRI2 ‘61 reissue Strat. Case has never been used, and the guitar is a keeper, so it’s up for grabs.

    Posting this now so I can have a free weekend and some headspace - been getting a bit fixated, as usual, and already spent more time on Logic this month than I should have... Scooby Snacks My Bitch Up That puppet dog looks like he’s had a few scooby snacks - so we dusted off the keyboard, went electro, and got that canine and chums on the mic.

    @Sweenyrod Roderick bought a bass from me last year, via eBay, but we’ve just been chatting again via Basschat, so I thought I’d add to this thread of recommendation as I’d definitely buy or sell with him again.

    Now £55 posted, but I won't be dropping any further.

    I think a 105 string is about 2.6mm, so maybe try M3 size - I think that’s 3mm, but could be M4 🤔 I bought M2 recentlly, they were 2mm. At least that hopefully gives you something to go on.

    Nordstrand respond pretty quickly to enquiries in my experience, last time being just the other week.
