    In 1969 black was a custom colour so if that is the original finish it would have had a white pickguard with the thumb rest holes under the G string. If this is the one advertised on Bass Direct then the pick up has been rewound too, so it's not exactly all original as described. Bet it's still lovely though.

    I went down to 2 last year, which felt good for a while. Back up to 4 now, which has been my self impossed limit for about 5 years now. I like having the ability to enjoy different tones and styles. I have two with flats, two with rounds. I don't miss the ones I sold, they felt more like tools than keepers and were fun to own but not regretful to sell, just easily replaceable bits of wood aren't they really? In all my years of playing my Lull is the only one that ever felt like a true keeper. The rest are just useful, until they are not!

    [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1464511600' post='3059895'] I'd hate someone to feel they'd been mislead...🤔🙄😉 [/quote] [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1464511803' post='3059898'] And Daniel will, of course, be following the future path of the bass to make sure that ALL future owners also declare that this is sold as a fake. As you would expect, naturally. [/quote] Option A- the bass gets micro chipped Option B - all perspective new owners must have criminal record background checks and sign declarations.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464450502' post='3059575'] That looks great! And of course no-one will think it's a real Fender because you very kindly made that quite clear. [/quote] And of course being even clearer there arguably hasn't been a 'real Fender' since January 1965 anyway... I guess my USA Std is just wood, design, marketing and intellectual property rights. Oh dear, I've been suckered in, but I'm strangely happy still

    [quote name='andytoad' timestamp='1464474261' post='3059763'] Is this south Kent south? [/quote] Hi Andy, I'll PM Richard for you to ask.

    Ooh, that lovely one that was one here recently? Two lucky BC'ers are going to love Chris's ex's then

    So you can wash your veg in it, but what style?

    [quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1464379218' post='3059090'] Here's another new Chilis song. It's low key but I like it. http://youtu.be/5w4d_mmJOGM [/quote] Cheers Miles

    Here is a bass that may divide opinion, so apologies to those whom it may offend. More explained here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/285635-am-i-the-only-one-that-gets-annoyed-by-adverts-for-fake-fenders/ Yes, it has a replica 1970's Fender logo on the headstock, but it's really a Squier Standard Jazz Bass, upgraded with DiMarzio Model J - DP123's which sound blooming lovely http://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/bass/standard-bass/dimarzio-model-j It's wearing a new set of GHS Boomers which are coated, they were on my other Jazz Bass for a few hours and then went straight on to this one. Collection only please. I'm in Harrow.

    It's official, Chris has flown over the cuckoos nest. Two gorgeous basses you're selling there mate, I absolutely love my Modulus Flea and having had the 55 in my hands many a time I can vouch for the sheer top quality of it. If you're losing these two stunners then I can't wait to see the one that's coming

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1464430471' post='3059381'] Not applicable to Custom Shop though, surely....? altho I wonder how different they are to the Deluxe type range below... as they seem to use quite a few similar/same parts..?? I would guess the price difference to be around £1400 and where does that go... fretboard upgrade..?? paint job..?? hmmmmm...!!! [/quote] I've often wondered that myself, the quartersawn neck is the only real obvious upgrade, if you like that kind of neck that is as some find the tension too tight. But even a QS neck doesn't cost THAT much extra. Of course the relicing does set you back too on those models. On another point, I bought a new USA Std Jazz Bass yesterday. Those that know me know that I usually buy CS or vintage, but I found one that stood out to me above the others and it's the perfect workhorse, which is all I need it for really. I'm not particularly into reissues either so this bass made sense. And yes, the QC is excellent and I can't fault it at all. It only needed very minor truss rod and string height adjustments and the nut is cut very well.

    If this was around the corner I'd be snapping this one up. Surprised it's still here. GLWTS

    Just caught up on this thread, here's some more Flea using Fenders action for you with Atoms For Peace, nice to see him on a P Bass again too... http://youtu.be/9CjzVdZcnh0

    I've had some great trade offers, but nothing that I need just yet. Please note that I definitely don't need an amp trade. Once again, sorry I can't post this one at the moment, I could have sold it 3 times over if I could post. Thanks.

    [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1463785714' post='3054148'] I just paid the deposit and ordered one through Bass Direct this evening. [/quote] Well that just bought up a feeling of ultra GAS that I haven't had in quite some time, good move pal

    [quote name='GM10' timestamp='1464040384' post='3056095'] Going to stick with the filter first Si, just questioning the science. I've got a octaver on the way too, After the compressor I think? [/quote] Yup, that's how I like it
  20. Chiliwailer
    I've found that some older filters prefer a compressed signal to keep them smoother. But generally I prefer filter first and do that with my modern ones.

    I bought a Pedaltrain Nano from Dan, friendly and all good. Plus, there was absolutely nothing satanistic about the deal... I think...
  23. Chiliwailer
    Probably sound better on the BTB1206 I'm selling as it has a 35 inch scale. Me, plugging? Never...

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1463421597' post='3051250'] OMG!! Your beginnings must have been "interesting". I was reading on another forum a thread where some guy was talking with envy about how great it must have been "back in the day" when you had to save for weeks to buy a record and having to struggle to find it on sale. He really has no idea. [/quote] That'd just be far too patient for today's culture My first bass was a cheap Rockwood, good for that time, but no mojo like yours.
  25. Chiliwailer
    Your first bass is way cooler than my first bass, have fun with it
