    @adamg67sold me a pedal - real pleasure to deal with and perfect sale all round. Thanks Adam.

    £100 collected. Postage extra at cost, only a one’er in my pocket will persuade me to sell 😉 My favourite pickups, I just don’t have a spare P Bass to install it in, and no plans to buy one. Regular version, not overwound. My feedback - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/216739-feeback-for-chiliwailer/page/3/ As Swiss Toni says… “playing a bass with a Fralin pickup is like making love to a beautiful woman…”

    Yes please if still going. PM’d.

    Reluctant sale forced by longstanding shoulder issues. Bought new by me in December 2019, very well looked after and nicely set up. I used a sound hole tuner, which has left a small mark caused by reaction to the nitro - doh! It doesn’t look too bad (see pics), but I’ll include the tuner with the sale, very handy. My feedback -

    I bought this for my wife to learn on when we first met. I think it’s best suited to a learner - very cheap and cheerful. Smaller body than Dreadnought size, similar to a Martin 000 or OM. Nice and easy action, and neck is fine. Sound wise, well it’s a £50 guitar, so you know the score, I ain’t gonna lie..! Fair condition, just some honest dings and scratches, but nothing nasty. Comes with basic carry case.

    Though a truss adjustment will affect the action, you’re best off setting the truss to how you want the neck, then adjusting the saddles. If the saddles are at the lowest, try a neck shim if you’re happy to go that route on a new bass - some people will, some won’t. Most of all, are you sure the truss is actually working fine?

    Cheers - can’t remember buying them but don’t doubt I once did. 🙏

    Any help please? Wondering what these strings are. Seem like 45 - 100 nickel - but unlike D’Addario have a silver D ball end not black. E - Brass A - Red D - Silver G - Blue, maybe green. Hard to say as have some minor colour blindness. Cheers

    Those prices contribute to why I just withdrew my Special from the market place today - it’s a great bass that I bought new in ‘18 so I might as well keep hold now for a rainy day, as for me a new one has got well out of reach. Good score on the TC, love that it’s passive and hope you do a NBD 👍

    I hear that 👍

    I’m on a bass cull, and it just occurred to me the 3 I’m keeping were all once sold and then bought back my me. One was sold during a rough period, one best described as sold to fund a family emergency, and one because I was buying back an old vintage bass (the irony) but got that decision wrong. Best of the bunch to get back is the ‘95 Ray I grew up on, found again about 12 years after I sold it during a tough time. 2 came back from the bassist I sold them to, my beloved ‘95 Ray after years of failed emails and eBay searching, finally saw it on eBay and pounced. What are your tales?

    Reminds me of those black and gold Raleigh BMXs from the 80s.
  16. Chiliwailer
    Nice one 👍🙏

    update - withdrawn and now on loan to a mate. With MM prices rising so steeply I think I’ll keep hold.

    Nah, Keef is the real deal, relic’s are more like a good bit of make believe... 😀

    Oh dear... 😬

    @steerpike65Simon just visited to buy my Bravewood Jazz - not an easy bass to let go of, so glad it went to one of the good guys. We’d been communicating for some time, while I decided whether or not to sell, and all the time Simon was friendly and easy going. Highly recommend guy to deal with. Enjoy the bass 👍

    Not an easy choice, completely different animals in terms of tone and feel (aside from the obvious that one is a 5er 😂). But both will be a great purchase for sure.
  22. Chiliwailer
    Not when I have one in the classifieds for under £2k 😂😂😂 Seriously, they are top notch.
  23. Chiliwailer
    Cheers pal - despite it all, I still consider myself very lucky I can still pick up a bass play at home. And at least I have some non slab body basses too. Best of luck with your issues 🙏👍

    If you trace the string back to the bridge saddles, it looks like it’s perhaps had a restring but they haven’t lined up the strings properly on the saddle slots. Could be a bit of camera angle too 👍

    If you need space, I’ve got a huge crush on that sunburst 62 type... 😍😍😍
