    So these were about £6k new? Now over £9k used 🙄😂 https://ebay.us/m/1VtdxX

    I stupidly had this Custom Shop Jazz Bass up for sale once or twice, despite always really liking it and never faulting it. I think it was because for years I was a P-Bass guy and ever since I sold my last vintage Precision I just thought I 'should' have a better P Bass, so I was going to get a Custom Shop to replace this Jazz. But then I finally dropped my 'habit' and acted on the fact that I prefer P's for bands, but J's for home and recording, and health issues mean I'm not in bands anymore. Fast forward to now and it was the right choice. It's now my only Fender, and for the first time in 25 years I'm choosing a Jazz over Precision, and can't even begin to justify owning a P... even typing that still feels dirty 😬

    Yellowstone Trails - I was initially aiming for a baggy folk type tune, but this somehow evolved with a slight country feel - which was a nice surprise, taking a walk down different trails.

    Me too bro, and I’ve got your fretless thread to thank 😊

    Fender only made 500-550 of these Active Flea basses, so this pickup is super rare. I was due to pop it in a project, but an unexpected bass purchase has changed that. Designed by Tim Shaw, it has a huge output, and well sculpted tone. It has ceramic magnets, just like Flea’s Lane Poor pickups. Photographed with a Fender Active Flea Bass and exposed pickup just for verification. £150 collected, or postage via Royal Mail at cost.

    Original Mike Lull product. Signs of use, not abused though. Selling as I’m having a clear out. £25 posted Thanks.

    Fits a 2EQ or 3EQ Stingray with truss rod wheel, so approx 1990-2018. Made by the people in California that produced the original EBMM matte black pickguards back in the 90s / 00’s, this is one I custom ordered a few years ago. But my bass is now HH so I have a similar replacement. It’s got some scratches, as pictured, but you don’t want a shiny new pickguard on your 30 year old instrument right? 😊

    Cheers Rich, I’ll post pics in the morning 👍

    It’s a bit quiet over here, just @Baloney Balderdash so far…. Mine’s on the way, taken on a life of its own really.

    — £120 — This came with a Stingray that is a 1994 and 1997 hybrid, so the case is from within that period, and matches other cases from that period. I don’t really need it though, and I’d be a fool to sell the bass…

    This is an original Music Man preamp, 2EQ, from 2010. Comes with the original input jack too. I have left two wires attached to the preamp in case you do not want to solder the pickup wires direct to the circuit board. I have an original banana plate that I may consider selling too should you need it.

    A couple of Rays, modded one from 1995, and the fretless is a 1994 & 1997 hybrid.

    Nah, yours is fine, they’d stopped using lacquer by then (around 1993 I think).

    I used Ronseal High Performance Wood Filler recently on a bass, it’s fine in deep holes in one application and sands nicely.

    How about The Aguilar OBP-1 is pretty small, and has mini pots, I wonder if that’ll work for you at a squeeze? Then again, it has a million wires to make room for. But if you didn’t mind routing under the pickguard for a battery then it might work? That’s what I did with my Ray, I have 2 x 9v batteries under the pickguard. Yep - fretless is great fun thanks, with an equal measure of it laughing at me when my intonation sucks 😂 Hoping this one is a keeper, stunning bass 👌 Good luck with yours 👍

    Thanks @lurksalot Oh, and no certificate required ta on my part, spare yourself the time 😊

    I don’t know if this is relevant Chris, but I had a J-Tone once with CS Jazz pickups and it was great, but when I used it with Fralin dual-coil Jazz pickups the preamp couldn’t handle it and was popping and clicking when I dug in. I spoke to John, but he said he had no idea what the issue was 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Thanks @lurksalot & @upside downer and all who voted - there was a brilliant mix of tunes this month, brilliant and eclectic as always!

    Sold Mark a pickguard, very easy going sale and some good chat along the way 👍

    Pleasure to meet Steve yesterday when he came to buy a bass from me. Easiest of deals, and we probably could have talk bass and such for hours if we were able to. Enjoy the bass 👍
  24. Chiliwailer
    It’s because it’s an early CS. As per this bass -
