  1. Is the one at the back small or is it far away? 😁
  2. As you can see, he says, it will fit a precision bass (well most of it, except the end bit) and any smaller guitar...... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332841527944
  3. Ash bought a badass bass bridge from me and it was a pleasure to do business with him. Thanks Ash.
  4. Badass II bridge in great condition with grooved saddles fitted but also with 4 spare saddles (E and A string saddles having had 2 grooves cut which spoils them aesthetically). Standard 5 screw fender mounting. I’m only putting it up at £75 as it has 2 sets of saddles with it and spare saddles cost about a tenner each. Uk postage included. European postage will cost a bit so please ask for a quote.
  5. Up for grabs is my excellent MIJ 2015 Fender Aerodyne Jazz bass. It has the stock black bound body with dark stained rosewood fretboard and smoked hardware for a perfect stealth look. In fact it’s that stealthy that I couldn’t find it this morning...... It’s recently been set up with new 45-105 rotosound roundwound nickels and plays perfectly. These are verstaile basses as they have p/j pickup configuration giving a good old thump from the precision pup but adding in the crispness of apthe jazz pup in the bridge position. These have no pickguard and a 20 fret jazz width neck with only side fret markers - adding to its stealthiness. Comes with a fender padded gig bag and fender strap. It’s got one very very tiny chip on the headstock and everything else is perfect, in fact it’s very shiny having had a polish yesterday. Will post anywhere. Uk insured postage about £35. Europe will need a quote dependant on where...... Here are the fender specs; Lightweight, high performance, special edition Jazz Bass Basswood body with cream bound carved top and Black urethane finish Maple neck with fast-playing "C" shape profile Stained rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets 4 saddle standard bridge and Standard open gear tuners Black Top mounted Stratocaster output jack, skirted control knobs Smoked chrome hardware complements the finish beautifully Matching black headstock with silver Fender headstock logo Standard single-coil Jazz Bass and Standard Split single-coil Precision Bass pickups guarantees impressive tonal versatility Thanks for looking.
  6. I haven’t bought any real ones yet but will when the coffers fill up a little.
  7. Their prices are really high for everything sold and yet they have 12763 feedback score. Who buys from them I wonder....
  8. Looking at that makes me feel slightly sea sick....
  9. Just picked up a renovation project Washburn force 8 with a smashed up scratch plate. I could try to make one as it’s only single ply black but having never tried one before and not really having the right gear (yet), I was wondering if anyone on here makes scratch plates using the old one and a little imagination (there’s 2” section missing.....) Thanks.
  10. Who cares what they weigh. These are absolutely fantastic basses. The feel, the tone, the neck - they’re more custom shop feel than signature. I had one, sold it and really really shouldn’t have. That and my modulus vj4. Why oh why........ Someone buy this and save me the pain of looking at it.....please.....
  11. That status necked jazz just sold for £560 but that wasn’t the full story. He sold it for £800 first time but the winning bidder was in Japan so the seller chose not to ship it to them (odd), then it got relisted but with a reserve and reached £610 but didn’t meet the reserve. Then it got re-re-listed without reserve and sold for £560 which is a good deal....... The moral of the story I guess is that each time the same item gets re-listed it reputationally chips value off the bass. If it was me, I’d have been shipping it to Japan after the first sale.
  12. Have another bump. These are great little basses. Little in size and weight but big in sound and playability.
  13. Have a free bump. Your bump helped my little O bass sell.
  14. I can only see 105 / 45. I may have to buy some “genuine” ones to satisfy my curiosity.....
  15. L Ive just got these Elixir strings and as far as I can tell they’re not fake. The packaging isn’t shonky, all trademarks are on the packaging and when I’ve popped them on my status necked USA P bass they seem to sound and feel nice. My only issue is that I can’t A/B them as I don’t have “genuine” ones and I don’t fancy paying £45 just to test them out.......
  16. It seems we have a battle of the Orange basses going on here. Have a free bump from me for a fantastic little bass.
  17. 10 hole jazz scratch plate with rout for precision pickup in the neck position. The P bass pickup slot is lower than in some P/J basses (is actually the right precision bass position according to my USA P) but may be good for a project for someone. I’ve just noticed it has a scratch beneath the neck rout so dropped the price. £5 incl UK postage.
  18. For sale DP122 precision pickup and DP123 jazz pickup with adjustable pole pieces. Bring your P/J bass to life! Great condition. Around 5 years old. Been in a bass that’s seen light use but in perfect working order. £65 including UK postage.
  19. Fantastic jazz bass preamp, 6 years old looking at the serial number but never seen much action and in perfect working order. Features solderless hook up, volume / blend stack pot, bass / treble stack pot, mid frequency sweep / boost stack pot, bright function (push / pull treble pot), passive blend switch and passive bypass switch. Also has trim pots under the hood to perfectly blend your pickups. Heres what the East website says; The J-RETRO 01 is designed to fit directly into standard "Jazz" style basses without modification, including a PP3 battery, in most cases. Its high quality circuit uses three stacked knobs and includes an active blend circuit plus a 3 band equaliser with bass, variable frequency mid, treble and bright function. A very gentle built in contour gives immediate colour without detracting from the basic sound of any bass. The active blend circuit prevents the loss associated with many passive basses where, when both pickups are up full, the signal from one pickup feeds into the other and vice versa. However, a switch is included to allow a passive equal mix of both pickups. A second switch - basic "get-you-out-of-trouble" passive mode is included in case the battery dies in crucial circumstances, and this mode allows some useful settings too. EASY TO FIT, NO ROUTING OR MODS TO MOST J STYLE BASSES. A STANDARD PP3 BATTERY FITS UNDER THE PLATE IN THE STANDARD CAVITY
  20. He had this up at £550 earlier today until I pointed out to him that it was a highway 1 so he slashed the price - which isn’t what I meant when I mailed him - I meant he should put a description in the ad to say it was a highway. Anyway as it happens it’s now pretty cheap!,
  21. Thanks Gary Mac. That’s the sort of thing I was thinking but didn’t know what glue to use or how to get it into the void. Titebond wood glue it is then and I wonder if I could use a syringe. I’m guessing I could then run a fine line of superglue down the crack when set......maybe......then scrape it back.....maybe I think I’ll try to solve the crack / hollow paint first. Thanks
  22. £200 including UK postage. Up for grabs is my little Orange O bass in bright Orange, with Orange padded carry case. Single precision pickup, white pick guard, very lightweight okoume body, maple painted neck with ebony fretboard and it’s well balanced. Comes with strap locks / buttons. Recent set up with new Ernie Ball slinkys and in good condition with a couple of dings. One filled with orange nitro (not a perfect colour) on the upper bout and a few very minor chips to the black neck binding. Nothing affecting feel or playability. 34” scale, 43.6mm nut width, weighing in at only 7lbs but very well balanced thanks to well placed strap buttons. The neck is P bass width but doesn’t feel so deep. It’s quite a nice bass for the money, very quirky, plays well and sounds good especially with a bit of drive. I’ll be sad to see it go but I’ve just bought back one of my old basses so it has to go. Will courier included in the price (depends on the price agreed I guess) or it can be road tested / collected chez nous near Chester. Here’s what the Orange boys say; The O Bass is the brainchild of Orange Technical Director and lead designer Adrian Emsley, whose inspiration came from his self-confessed love of vintage gear. Having spent a lifetime modifying all manner of bass guitars, the O Bass brings together all of his know-how in a unique and truly charismatic instrument. Aside from its impeccably sleek lines and shapely aesthetics, the O Bass delivers the goods where it really matters. Plugging in reveals a sound with buckets of personality – familiar, yet somehow all of its own. A custom-wound split–coil pickup bears a very distinctive sonic mojo, with a well-balanced bass response and a bold and defined mid-range. Players with a softer touch will immediately find themselves in Motown territory, with earthy overtones in abundance. Dig in a little more aggressively and the O Bass responds with an infectious harmonic grind that harks back to the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. As Emsley puts it, “It growls like a policeman’s dog!” The O Bass first made an appearance in an early form as a demonstrator piece at the 2014 winter NAMM show, hidden from public view in the Orange booth. However, having been leaked on a number of videos on the internet, we were inundated with requests to put it into production. And here’s the spec; FINISH OPTIONS: TEAR DROP SUNBURST | OFF-BLACK | ORANGE CONSTRUCTION: 4 STRING FRETTED SINGLE CUTAWAY| BOLT ON BODY: OKOUMÉ |BASSWOOD VENEER | A.B.S. BINDING ON TEAR DROP SUNBURST & OFF-BLACK VERSIONS NECK: MAPLE |DUAL ACTION TRUSS ROD | EBONY FRETBOARD |A.B.S.
