    That's an accolade from you Karl. Thanks!

    Up for sale is my 2012 American Vintage Reissue 57 Precision bass in white blonde with gold pickguard, maple neck, vintage correct cloth wired 57 pickup with raised A string pole pieces, threaded saddle bridge, serial number on the neck plate, finger rest and bridge cover. No sign of the pickup cover though I'm afraid. This has a one piece ash body with one piece maple neck so a real bit of work from Fender here. I hankered after one of these for ages but the nut width is no good for me, I’m more a jazz width player so I’m afraid that, incredible looking as it is, this has to go. It’s in great condition with just a few dings in the finish on the bottom edge. The neck is a 7.25” radius with 1.75” width at the nut. It sounds and plays great and having the thin nitro finish is very resonant. I don’t think there’s a better looking P bass and I’ll be sad to say goodbye. FYI it weighs in at 4.3kg and has standard strap pins on (I have some Schallers if anyone would prefer them....) I’m not really after any trades but would maybe consider a cheaper P bass. Based on the Wirral but I can meet up within 50 miles or so but will ship it anywhere. Comes in an SKB Fender hard case but I'm not sure whether it’s original or not? A few spec details; Body - Body Shape: Precision Bass - Body Wood: Swamp Ash - Body Finish: Lacquer Neck - Neck Shape: "C" Shape - Number of Frets: 20 - Fret Size: Vintage Style Frets - Fretboard Radius: 7.25" (18.41 cm) - Fretboard: Maple - Nut Width: 1.75" (44.45 mm) - Scale Length: 34" (86.36 cm) - Neck Plate: Serialized 4 Bolt Neckplate Electronics - Pickup Configuration: Single '57 Precision Bass Split Single-Coil Pickup - Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone Hardware - Hardware: Nickel/Chrome - Bridge Cover/Tailpiece: Includes Chrome Bridge Cover - Tuning Machines: Vintage Style Reverse Tuning Machines - String Nut: Synthetic Bone

    She’s mine, all mine..... I did some training with Jon Shuker and my surname is Orange. It seemed like fate to me.....

    It’s a keeper I’m afraid.....

    I hope the GL went to one of our community. It would make me feel better, having battled with my other gear buying self not to press buy it now.

    I certainly should have but definitely didn't. My Shuker Orange reverse headstock jazz more than covers off my need for fizzy Geddyesque tones.

I would snaffle it now but the guitar rack is full and I'd be in big big trouble if I buy something else......

    Interestingly with that one having been a solid colour they have used a 4 piece body whereas mine, being a trans white, is one piece. Now it is sanded back, the 4 piece spoils its looks a bit for me....

    Heres mine albeit sporting an SDSPB3 pickup instead of the original hand wound, raised pole piece jobby (I dig in and found myself grounding the A string on the pole pieces). They're a limited run and very nice......

    Think this is one; https://reverb.com/uk/p/fender-american-original-50s-precision-bass?hfid=32021535&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=12200508927&utm_content=campaignid=12200508927_adgroupid=115920727614_productpartitionid=1256942340682=merchantid=117614852_productid=32021535_keyword=_device=c_adposition=_matchtype=_creative=495081226236&gclid=CjwKCAjwieuGBhAsEiwA1Ly_nRyo766Hq8pH-bVxlTLvUNZ31ClbJ18Fkd2p_998UlYK02DMklnEURoCrL8QAvD_BwE

    I think it's an American Vintage Reissue Original '57 but the finish is stripped (obviously). They're pretty rare. I have one in Trans White. I think he means to describe it as an American Original 50's series reissue bass.

    Is that a cheaper VJ4 then? I assumed it was an upgraded VJ4. You're right about the truss though.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/294247691181 Don't remember seeing one of these before. Bubinga top, carbon neck with Chechen finger board. Really nice except for the truss rod issue and import duty. That aside still good value?
  18. vinorange
    Thank for that!!

    What are the dimensions of the cab please?
  20. vinorange
    Just had another thought so I pinged them an email to check on the dimensions. They immediately got back with their spec / tolerances; Our dimension is :OD120cm (MAX)， H77cm(MAX). All seems very very professional, quick to respond and better than Marshall / Eden US and Gear4Music - none of whom have got back to me.

    So I got in touch with WEBB, whose communication and response to queries is superb, and they sent back that the wiring specs will be as per the original design for the Eden Amp; Primary: 0-240V/BRN-BLU Secondary: 63.5V-0-63.5V/RED-ORG-RED 0(fuse)-11V/WHT-WHT 17V(T.S)-0-17V(T.S)/GRN-YEL-GRN That should mean plug and play. Fingers crossed....

    Here's hoping.....Delivery may be a while from Taiwan but UK quotes for a handmade transformer were way higher and there weren't many who would quote. We really need to become a manufacturing country again....
  23. vinorange
    I've sent them a pic of the transformer so I'd hope it's colour matched otherwise I got a bit of work....
  24. vinorange
    I bought a step down transformer, which works fine, but then wondered if I could get any response from WEBB who make the transformers. They've been incredibly helpful and WEBB are making a 240v spec transformer to the original 240 / 50hz spec and sending it for £150. Hopefully I don't have to mod the amp any further and it's a plug and play?

    Back for sale due to a Reverb mess up.........
