  1. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223587765291 Is she or isn’t she?
  2. Maybe I should trim the title slightly.......
  3. SOLD. Up for sale is my immaculate 2017 Fender Special Run FSR, made in Japan, walnut finish jazz bass benefitting from recent Seymour Duncan quarter pounders, set up and new elite strings. The bass is pretty much immaculate except a few scratches on the scratch plate (but then that’s what it’s there for). It’s from a limited Fender Special Run series echoing the walnut basses of the 60s but with the body actually being made from light ash, neck from maple with rosewood fretboard. The hardware is all smoked chrome finish and the finish is stained / poly lacquered. It comes with all the tags, labels, truss wrench, fender strap and a very nice Fender deluxe thick padded gig bag (flight case is no longer available). The bass weighs in around 4kg and is 38mm at the nut. The mods were carried out by the previous owner and the SD quarter pounders sound fantastic. The bass plays, looks and sounds fantastic. It’s got no nicks or dings anywhere on the body, neck or headstock so hasn’t seen much action. Only selling coz I took a bass in a trade and the preamp is knackered so I’ve got some large repair bills. Based in Chester so can deliver or meet up within 75 miles or so or will post anywhere - £35 insured in the UK, £50 Europe. Thanks for looking.
  4. I’m in Chester. If anyone wanted it collecting and then meet up - for a bit of diesel money - then I could help out........within reason..... I have a van too!
  5. Now includes sturdy flight case so it can be safely shipped anywhere.
  6. As for the DPDT as a series / parallel switch well it’s got me beaten.....
  7. This is what I have using the existing pull / push volume control as an active / passive bypass...
  8. Must stop using stumped - it’s coz the cricket is on.....
  9. I’ve decided that I’d prefer the DPDT to use both coils as if they’re there I may as well use them so have abandoned my active / passive bypass use. That also means I’m stumped.
  10. Nope. That’s got me totally confused. The way the DPDT is used is totally different between the active / passive diagram (MM3 diagram 3) and the Kent diagram for using the DPDT as series / parallel switch. I must be nearly there but I just can’t fathom it. For instance I’ve lost the switch cable in my diagram and can’t decide between preamp in and out relating to the DPDT switch.😗😗😗
  11. Thanks for that. I’ve got those diagrams but combining the wiring for type 1 DPDT (figure 1a) with the 3rd diagram on the MM3 wiring is doing me in. Ive sketched out a diagram using a push pull volume pot as an active bypass but now trying to sketch out using it as a DPDT series / parallel switch is what has stumped me.....
  12. My head hurts now. I maybe need to keep it simple.... Ive got different diagrams all confusing me now.....brain fuzz....
  13. Thanks for that. Could I use a DPDT switch to use the humbucking capability so I can have parallel / series switching? I’m starting to understand but I have to draw it at least 5 times before I get it.....and I know - all I’m doing is connecting a TRS jack, a battery clip and a volume control. It’s pathetic but my brain starts to go fuzzy..... Thanks
  14. Hello out there. I’ve got a bass with a Kent Armstrong soap bar pick up with white, green, black, red and shielding in its loom. I bought a KSBT 2 band preamp prewired with bass and treble pots so all I have to do is add a volume, battery clip and stereo output. Thing is it came with no wiring instructions so here’s hoping someone out there has used one and knows how to wire in one of the KA soap bar pickups. The wires on the preamp are input, ground, switch (which I don’t need), output, +9v. Sounds easy but I’m bamboozled..... Help please
  15. I was in Nottingham today and was going to buy that just for the case! Absolute bargain......
  16. Yep. Have sent you a PM.
  17. Thanks John. It’s the same neck but the previous owner changed the tuners. Not sure what to though. I just put the serial number in the Fender dating website (not a lonely hearts club) and got 2006-10..... Weird. I’ll change I anyway. Thanks,
  18. Up for sale or trade with cash my way is my 2009-10 US Fender Precision Highway 1 in nitrocellulose black with smooth satin maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and black pickguard. It has a badass 2 bridge as standard but has EMG Geezer Butler solderless pickups fitted for extra growl. It also has the original pickups with it. It came with chips and dings so has been refinished in its original colour of nitro gloss black. It’s also had a fret level, crown & polish, lemon oil fretboard treatment and has a new set of rotosound round nickel 45-105s. The relief, action and intonation have all been set. The neck has been shimmed to get the action super low and now the bass looks, plays and sounds fantastic. It has no dings anywhere and only has one imperfection - it has had different tuners at one point so has extra screw holes in the back of the headstock. It’s nice and light at just under 4kg and measures 41.5mm at the nut. It’s a very playable P bass neck especially with the satin neck finish. If I was still gigging, this would be my main bass - it is superb. I can ship it anywhere, can deliver or meet up within 75 miles of Chester.
  19. Up for sale is my superb 1999-2002 Crafted in Japan Fender Precision PB62 1962 reissue in a beautifully aged white body, nicely aged maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. It’s got virtually no fret wear, plays and sounds wonderful and is currently strung with new 45-105 rotosounds. There are one or two small surface marks, the worst near the upper strap pin but that’s very very minor for a 20 year old bass. It weighs in at a respectable 4.3kg and measures 42.5mm at the nut. The gloss on the back of the neck has been knocked back slightly with zero grade wire wool for a smoother feel. The fretboard has been treated with lemon oil and the bass has been fully set up. Comes in a padded gig bag. Will post anywhere or can deliver or meet up within 60 miles of Chester. No trades at the moment. Probably. Possibly........oh go on then, try me...... Thanks for looking.
  20. At least he tried to fit it - several tries by the look of those neck mount holes.......
  21. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F312651832980 Someone grab it before I drive 420 miles to get it myself!
